Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully to install the receiver unit into your ceiling fan. Ensure power is disconnected before beginning.
Step 1: Disconnect Power
Before starting any electrical work, turn off the power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker or wall switch. Verify that the power is off by attempting to operate the fan or light.
Step 2: Access Fan Wiring
Remove the canopy cover of your ceiling fan to expose the wiring connections. Disconnect the existing wiring from the fan to the house wiring.

Step 3: Wire the Receiver
Connect the receiver wires to the fan and house wiring using the provided wire nuts according to the diagram below. Match wire colors carefully:
- Receiver BLACK wire to Fan BLACK wire (for fan motor)
- Receiver BLUE wire to Fan BLUE wire (for light)
- Receiver WHITE wire to Fan WHITE wire (Neutral)
- House AC 110-120V BLACK wire to Receiver RED wire
- House AC 110-120V WHITE wire to Receiver WHITE wire

Step 4: Mount the Receiver
Carefully tuck the wired receiver into the fan's canopy. Ensure all wires are securely connected and not pinched. Reattach the canopy cover.
Step 5: Restore Power
Once installation is complete, restore power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker or wall switch.
Remote Control Pairing
The remote control and receiver are typically pre-paired from the factory. If the remote does not operate the fan after installation, follow these pairing instructions:
Location of the 'LEARN' button inside the remote control's battery compartment.
Method 1: Using the "0" (Fan OFF) Button
- Cycle power to the fan by turning power off and back on at the wall switch (or circuit breaker if necessary).
- Install a 12V battery (type 23A) into the remote control.
- Within 30 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the "0" (Fan OFF) button on the remote for five seconds. The fan light should flash twice and then turn off, indicating successful pairing.
Method 2: Using the "LEARN" Button (Inside Remote)
- Cycle power to the fan by turning power off and back on at the wall switch (or circuit breaker if necessary).
- Install a 12V battery (type 23A) into the remote control.
- Within 30 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the "LEARN" button (located inside the remote's battery compartment) for five seconds. The fan light should flash twice and then turn off, indicating successful pairing.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your remote control kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan or light does not respond to remote. | No power to receiver, remote battery low/dead, remote not paired, incorrect wiring. | Check circuit breaker/wall switch. Replace remote battery. Re-pair remote (see "Remote Control Pairing" section). Verify wiring connections. |
| Light does not dim. | Non-dimmable light bulbs, incorrect light button usage. | Ensure you are using dimmable LED or incandescent bulbs. Hold the light button to dim, do not just press. |
| Fan operates at only one speed or incorrectly. | Incorrect wiring, receiver malfunction. | Recheck fan motor wiring to the receiver. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Remote signal interference. | Other RF devices nearby, multiple remotes on same frequency. | Ensure no other devices are interfering. Re-pair the remote to reset the signal. |
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: When the remote's indicator light dims or the remote becomes unresponsive, replace the 12V (type 23A) battery. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote, remove the old battery, and insert a new one with correct polarity.
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote control and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow moisture to enter the components.
- Storage: If storing the remote for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
