Setup and Installation
1. DIP Switch Configuration

- Before installation, locate the DIP switches on your existing ceiling fan receiver (not included) and the Nexete BY06 wall control.
- Set the 4 DIP switches on the Nexete BY06 wall control to the exact same pattern as the DIP switches on your ceiling fan receiver. This ensures proper communication.
- It is easier to verify the switch settings before fully installing the unit into the wall.
- If controlling multiple ceiling fans, set different DIP switch patterns for each fan and its corresponding wall control/remote to prevent interference.
2. Wiring Instructions
Image: A detailed wiring diagram illustrating how to connect the Nexete wall control to the AC supply, a ceiling fan receiver (not included), and the ceiling fan itself. A prominent warning advises against connecting a neutral wire to the wall switch.
- Turn off power: Before beginning, ensure the power to the circuit is OFF at the main circuit breaker.
- This wall control is designed to mount into a standard junction box.
- Connect the wall control to the Live wire and Load wire only. This unit does NOT require a neutral wire connection.
- Refer to the provided wiring diagram for specific connections. The receiver is not included with this product.
- Secure all wire connections with wire nuts and ensure they are properly insulated.
- Carefully push the wired switch into the junction box and secure it with screws. Attach the wall plate.
- Once installation is complete, restore power at the circuit breaker.

Ceiling Fan Reverse Switch

Many ceiling fans include a reverse switch, typically located on the motor housing. This switch changes the direction of the fan blades. For optimal air circulation:
- Summer Operation: Set the switch for counter-clockwise rotation to create a downdraft, providing a cooling effect.
- Winter Operation: Set the switch for clockwise rotation to create an updraft, circulating warm air near the ceiling throughout the room.
- Always ensure the fan is completely off before changing the direction of the reverse switch.
Troubleshooting
- Fan or Light Not Responding:
- Ensure the main ON/OFF slide switch on the wall control is in the "ON" position.
- Verify that the DIP switches on the wall control match the settings on your ceiling fan receiver.
- Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied to the fan.
- Inspect wiring connections for any loose or incorrect connections, especially ensuring no neutral wire is connected to the wall switch.
- Interference with Other Fans/Remotes:
- If another fan or remote is activating this ceiling fan, change the DIP switch settings on both the wall control and the receiver to a different, unique pattern.
- Light Not Dimming:
- Ensure you are using dimmable light bulbs. Non-dimmable bulbs will not dim and may flicker or be damaged.
- Press and hold the LIGHT button to activate the dimming function. A quick press will only turn the light on/off.
