1. Introduction and Overview
Thank you for choosing the FEKOTS FAN53T Ceiling Fan Remote Control. This remote is designed to provide convenient control over your 3-speed AC ceiling fan and its lighting. It offers essential functions such as fan speed adjustment (High, Medium, Low), fan off, and light dimming. Please read this manual carefully before installation and use to ensure proper function and safety.
This remote control is a replacement transmitter and does not include a receiver or 9V battery. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your existing ceiling fan system, especially regarding DIP switch settings.
2. Product Features
- 3-Speed Control: Easily switch between High, Medium, and Low fan speeds, or turn the fan OFF.
- Light Dimming Function: The light dimmer button controls the brightness of incandescent lights and some dimmable LED lights. For most LED and all CFL lights, it supports only ON/OFF functionality.

- Easy to Install and Use: Designed for straightforward setup by matching DIP switches with your original remote or receiver.

3. Compatibility
This remote control is compatible with most 3-speed AC downrod style ceiling fans. It is important to verify that your original remote control or receiver has DIP switches for code matching. This remote is not compatible with 6-speed DC ceiling fans.
Before purchasing, check the model number or FCC ID on the back of your original remote. This remote is designed to replace models such as FAN-53T, FAN-35T, FAN-11T, KUJCE9103, CHQ8BT7030T, CHQ7030T, and UC7030T.

4. Setup and Installation
The key to setting up your new remote is to match the DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches with your existing system. These small switches are typically found inside the battery compartment of your old remote or on the receiver unit within the fan canopy.
4.1. Matching DIP Switches
- Locate DIP Switches: Open the battery compartment of your new FAN53T remote. You will see a set of 4 small switches.
- Match Existing Settings: If you have your original remote, slide the switches in the new remote to match the exact ON/OFF pattern of the original remote's DIP switches.
- If Original Remote is Lost: If your original remote is lost or does not exist, you will need to access the receiver unit inside your ceiling fan's canopy. Match the DIP switch settings on the new remote to those on the receiver. If you cannot access the receiver, you may need to try the 16 possible combinations of the 4 DIP switches until the remote pairs with your fan.

4.2. Battery Installation
This remote control requires one 9V battery (not included). Insert the 9V battery into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity. Once the DIP switches are set and the battery is installed, the remote should be ready for use.
