Prichor Ceiling Fan Remote Control Instruction Manual

Product Overview

The Prichor FAN-53T remote control is designed as a replacement for various 3-speed ceiling fan models, including those from Harbor Breeze, Hampton Bay, Allen+Roth, Kichler, and Litex, operating at a frequency of 303.9MHz. This remote allows for separate control of fan speed and light brightness, offering convenience and enhanced functionality for your ceiling fan.

Please note that this product includes only the remote control and does not come with a receiver or a 9V battery. It is specifically designed for use with FAN28R/FAN18R receivers and is compatible with remotes that utilize DIP switches for frequency setting. It does not feature a reverse button for fan direction.

Compatibility

This FAN-53T remote is a replacement for original remotes with FCC ID/Model numbers such as 2AAZPFAN53T/FAN-53T, L3HFAN11T/FAN-11T, KUJCE9103, CHQ7030T/UC7030T, L3HFAN35T1, and FAN-HD. Ensure your original remote matches these specifications and operates at 303.9MHz. If your original remote is a learning type or has a different frequency, this replacement may not be compatible.

The light dimming function is compatible with incandescent light bulbs and some dimmable LED lamps. For most non-dimmable LED/CFL lights, the remote will only control the ON/OFF function. The remote is compatible with all types of AC fan motors but does not work with DC motors.

Setup and Installation

The FAN-53T remote control requires a 9V battery (not included). Before use, you must set the DIP codes on the new remote to match either your old remote or the receiver unit in your ceiling fan. This ensures proper communication between the remote and the fan.

Setting DIP Codes:

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the FAN-53T remote.
2. Locate the DIP switches inside the compartment. These are typically small switches labeled 1, 2, 3, 4.
3. Identify the DIP switch settings on your existing remote or the receiver unit in your ceiling fan.
4. Adjust the DIP switches on the new FAN-53T remote to exactly match the settings of your existing unit. Ensure each switch is in the correct ON or OFF position.
5. Once the DIP codes are matched, insert a 9V battery and close the battery compartment.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Prichor FAN-53T remote control, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Battery Replacement: Replace the 9V battery when the remote's performance degrades or it stops responding. Always use a fresh, high-quality 9V battery.
• Cleaning: Wipe the remote with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface or internal components.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the remote in a cool, dry place. If storing for a very long time, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the remote away from water and high humidity to prevent internal damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your FAN-53T remote control, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Check the 9V battery. Replace it if it's old or depleted.
  • Verify that the DIP switch settings on the remote exactly match those on your ceiling fan's receiver. Incorrect settings are a common cause of non-responsiveness.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the fan's receiver.
• Light Not Dimming:
  • Confirm that your light bulbs are dimmable. Many LED and CFL bulbs are not designed for dimming and will only function as ON/OFF.
  • Perform a long press on the light button to activate the dimming feature.
• Fan Speed Issues:
  • Ensure the fan motor is an AC type. This remote is not compatible with DC fan motors.
  • Re-check DIP switch settings.
• Remote Thickness:
  • The thickness of this remote is 2.5cm (0.98 inches). If your original remote was significantly thinner, this replacement might not fit certain wall mounts or integrated remote slots.
