It is designed for use with most downrod style fans and is not recommended for hugger style fans.

Bulb Compatibility:

• Does not support smart bulbs.
• Only compatible with dimmable non-smart lights.

Bulb Load Limits:

• Maximum load for LED/CFL bulbs: 150W

5. Setup and Installation

Important Safety Information: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the ceiling fan is turned OFF at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.

5.1 Receiver Installation and Wiring

1. Turn off power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the canopy of your ceiling fan to access the wiring.
3. Disconnect the existing wiring from the ceiling fan to the house wiring.
4. Connect the receiver wires according to the diagram below. Use the provided wire nuts to secure connections.
   • White wire from receiver: Connect to the zero wire of the ceiling fan and the zero wire of the ceiling fabric.
   • Black wire from receiver: Connect to the fan wire.
   • Blue wire from receiver: Connect to the light wire.
   • Red wire from receiver: Connect to the fire wire of the ceiling cloth.
5. Carefully tuck the receiver into the fan's canopy. Ensure there is sufficient space and no wires are pinched. Note: This remote does not have a reverse button.
6. Reattach the fan canopy.

• Luminous Button: The green light button glows in the dark, aiding in finding the remote in low-light conditions.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your remote control kit, refer to the following common solutions:

• Remote not responding:
  • Check the 9V battery in the remote control and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the remote is paired correctly by repeating the programming steps (Section 5.2).
  • Verify that the power to the fan is on at the circuit breaker.
• Fan or light not working after installation:
  • Double-check all wiring connections as per the diagram in Section 5.1. Ensure wire nuts are secure.
  • Confirm the receiver is properly seated in the canopy and no wires are pinched.
  • Ensure the fan's pull chains (if any) are set to the 'ON' position for the fan and light.
• Light does not dim:
  • Verify that the installed bulbs are explicitly labeled as 'dimmable'. Many LED/CFL bulbs are not dimmable and will only function as ON/OFF.
  • Check the bulb load limits (Section 4) to ensure you are not exceeding the maximum wattage for dimmable bulbs.
• Receiver does not fit in fan canopy:
  • Measure the available space in your fan's canopy against the receiver dimensions (Section 3) before purchase and installation. This kit is generally compatible with most downrod style fans, but some fan designs may have limited space.
• Fan does not reverse:
  • This remote control kit does not include a reverse function. Fan direction must be changed manually via a switch on the fan motor housing, if available.

8. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your UBORSY remote control kit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Battery Replacement: Replace the 9V battery in the remote control when the red indicator light becomes dim or the remote's range decreases. Always dispose of old batteries responsibly.
• Cleaning: Wipe the remote control and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow moisture to enter the units.
• Storage: If storing the remote for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
