Fanimation WFR7912 fanSync Smart WiFi Receiver and TW206D Wall Control User Manual

1. Introduction and Overview

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Fanimation WFR7912 fanSync Smart WiFi Receiver and TW206D Ceiling DC Motor Wall Control. This bundle is designed to enhance the control capabilities of your compatible Fanimation ceiling fan, specifically the Levon Custom ceiling fan, by enabling smart home integration and comprehensive wall control.

The WFR7912 fanSync WiFi receiver allows you to control your ceiling fan using the free Fanimation fanSync mobile app, available on the App Store and Google Play Store. The TW206D wall control provides traditional wall-mounted control for DC motor ceiling fans, offering variable speed, multiple light levels, and reverse functionality, along with advanced features like home shield, natural breeze, sleep timer, and walk away light delay.

For optimal performance, the WFR7912 receiver must be used in conjunction with the TW206D wall control (or TR205D remote) to properly learn the optional blade size load before operating the fan with the fanSync WiFi app.

4. Setup and Installation

Installation of these components requires basic electrical knowledge. If you are unsure, please consult a qualified electrician.

4.1. WFR7912 fanSync Smart WiFi Receiver Installation

The WFR7912 receiver is designed to be installed within the canopy of your compatible ceiling fan (e.g., Levon Custom Ceiling Fan). Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.

• Turn off power to the ceiling fan circuit at the main electrical panel.
• Remove the ceiling fan canopy to access the wiring.
• Connect the receiver's wires to the fan and household wiring according to the wiring diagram provided with your ceiling fan and the receiver. Typically, this involves connecting the receiver's input to the household supply and its output to the fan motor and light kit.
• Carefully tuck the receiver and wiring into the fan canopy, ensuring no wires are pinched.
• Reattach the fan canopy.

4.2. TW206D Ceiling DC Motor Wall Control Installation

The TW206D wall control replaces a standard wall switch. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.

• Turn off power to the wall switch circuit at the main electrical panel.
• Remove the existing wall switch from the wall box.
• Connect the TW206D wall control's wires to the household wiring in the wall box. This typically involves connecting the line (hot) wire, load wire (to the fan), and ground wire. Refer to the wiring diagram included with the TW206D for specific connections.
• Carefully push the wall control into the wall box.
• Secure the wall control to the wall box with screws.
• Attach the wall plate.

4.3. Initial Pairing and Blade Load Learning

After installation, it is crucial to perform the initial pairing and blade size load learning process. This step ensures proper communication between the receiver, wall control, and the fan, and is required before using the fanSync WiFi app.

• Restore power to the circuit.
• Follow the specific pairing instructions provided with your Fanimation ceiling fan and the TW206D wall control to link the control to the receiver. This often involves a sequence of button presses on the wall control within a short time after restoring power.
• Once paired, the system will typically perform a blade size load learning sequence. Allow this process to complete without interruption.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Using the TW206D Wall Control

The TW206D wall control provides comprehensive control over your DC motor ceiling fan:

• Fan Speed Control: Use the fan speed buttons (typically up/down arrows or a slider) to adjust the fan speed from low to high.
• Light Control: If your fan has a light kit, use the light buttons to turn the light on/off and adjust brightness levels.
• Reverse Functionality: A dedicated button allows you to reverse the fan's direction, useful for seasonal comfort (downward airflow for cooling in summer, upward airflow for circulating warm air in winter).
• Timer Functions: Buttons for 1hr, 3hr, 6hr allow you to set a sleep timer for the fan.
• Special Modes: The control may include buttons for 'Home Shield' (simulates occupancy), 'Natural Breeze' (varies fan speed to mimic natural wind), and 'Walk Away Light Delay' (keeps light on for a short period after you leave).
• On/Off Switch: A master switch to turn the fan and light completely off or on.

5.2. Using the fanSync Mobile App (WFR7912)

Once the WFR7912 receiver is installed and the blade load learning is complete, you can control your fan via the Fanimation fanSync mobile app.

• Download the free Fanimation fanSync app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
• Follow the in-app instructions to connect your WFR7912 receiver to your home WiFi network. This typically involves creating an account, adding a device, and entering your WiFi credentials.
• Once connected, you can use the app to control fan speed, light levels, reverse direction, set schedules, and access other smart features from your smartphone or tablet.

6. Maintenance

The Fanimation WFR7912 receiver and TW206D wall control require minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the surface of the wall control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• No User-Serviceable Parts: There are no user-serviceable parts inside either the receiver or the wall control. Do not attempt to open or repair these devices.
