5.2. Wiring Instructions
Follow the wiring diagram carefully. If you are unsure about any connections, consult a qualified electrician.
- Connect the White (AC Neutral Line) from your main power supply to the White (Neutral Line) wire of the receiver.
- Connect the Black (AC Live Line) from your main power supply to the Black (Live Line to FAN) wire of the receiver.
- Connect the Blue (Live Line to LIGHT) wire from the receiver to the light fixture wire.
- Ensure the antenna wire is positioned for optimal signal reception.

5.3. Setting DIP Switches (Pairing)
The receiver and your remote control must have matching DIP switch settings to communicate. This is especially important if you are controlling multiple ceiling fans to prevent interference.
- Locate the 4 DIP switches on both the receiver and your remote control.
- Using a small tool (like a pen or small screwdriver), slide the switches on the receiver to your desired ON/OFF pattern.
- Match the exact same ON/OFF pattern on the DIP switches of your remote control.
- It is recommended to verify these settings before fully installing the receiver into the fan canopy.

6. Operating Instructions
Once the receiver is installed and paired with your remote control, you can operate your ceiling fan and light using the remote.
- Fan Control: Use the fan speed buttons (typically Low, Medium, High, Off) on your remote to adjust the fan's rotation speed or turn it off.
- Light Control: Use the light button(s) on your remote to turn the light ON or OFF. If dimmable bulbs are installed, press and hold the light button to dim or brighten the light.
7. Maintenance
The Nexete Universal Ceiling Fan Remote Control Receiver requires minimal maintenance. Ensure the receiver is kept dry and free from dust. Periodically check electrical connections for any signs of wear or loosening. Do not attempt to open or repair the receiver yourself, as this may void any potential warranty and poses an electrical hazard.
8. Troubleshooting
- Fan or Light Not Responding:
- Check if the power to the fan is on at the circuit breaker and wall switch.
- Verify that the DIP switch settings on both the receiver and the remote control match exactly.
- Ensure the remote control has fresh batteries.
- Inspect wiring connections for any loose or incorrect connections.
- Light Does Not Dim:
- Confirm that you are using dimmable LED/CFL bulbs or incandescent bulbs. Non-dimmable LED/CFL bulbs will only turn ON/OFF.
- Interference with Other Fans:
- Change the DIP switch settings on both the receiver and its corresponding remote to a different pattern to avoid interference with nearby ceiling fans.
- Receiver Does Not Fit in Canopy:
- The receiver has compact dimensions (2.8 x 2.1 x 1.1 inches). If it does not fit, the fan canopy may be too small for this model.
