Hampton Bay 191-707 Remote Control Installation

General Information

This remote control is designed to separately control your ceiling fan speed and light brightness. It features four buttons (Hi, Med, Low, off) for fan speed control and an off function. Select "D" or "ON" in the frequency switches to control the light dimmer or ON/OFF function, depending on your light bulbs. The red indicator on the transmitter lights up when a button is pressed.

? NOTE: When installing the remote control, ensure your fan is set to "HIGH SPEED" and the light is ON.

1. Setting the Code

Remove the transmitter cover by snapping it off from the top or bottom. This unit has 16 different code combinations. To set the code, follow these steps:

1. Setting the code on the transmitter:

   Slide the frequency switches to your desired up or down position. The factory setting is all up; do not use this position. Use a small screwdriver or ballpoint pen to slide the switches firmly up or down. (Refer to Fig. 1 for visual reference of frequency switches).

2. Light Control Setting:

   For incandescent bulbs, use the "D" setting for full-range dimming. For fans using fluorescent or LED bulbs, use the "ON" setting for ON/OFF functions only.

3. Setting the code on the receiver:

   Caution! The frequency switches on the receiver unit are covered with a rubber cover. Remove this cover before making any changes to the frequency switches, and then replace it afterward. Slide the frequency switches to match the positions set on your transmitter. (Refer to Fig. 1).

   Place the transmitter cover back on by aligning it over the buttons and snapping it into place. (Refer to Fig. 1).

2. Installing Receiver in Ceiling Fan

A: Safety Precautions:

• ⚠️ WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE! Disconnect the source of electrical power by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
• Do not use with solid-state fans.
• Electrical wiring must comply with all local and national electrical code requirements.
• The electrical source and fan must be 115/120 volt, 60Hz.
• Maximum fan motor amps: 1.0.
• Maximum light watts: 300 (incandescent bulbs only).
• Household electrical power can cause serious injury or death!

B: Installing receiver in fan (Refer to Fig. 2):

1. Remove electrical power from the circuit.
2. Remove the ceiling fan canopy from the mounting bracket.
3. Disconnect existing wiring between the ceiling fan and the supply at the electrical junction box.
4. Make the electrical connections as follows, using the wire nuts supplied (Refer to Fig. 3):
   • Green fan wire connects to the Bare supply wire.
   • Black receiver wire (AC IN L) connects to the Black supply wire.
   • White receiver wire (AC IN N) connects to the White supply wire.
   • White receiver wire (TO MOTOR N) connects to the White fan wire.
   • Black receiver wire (TO MOTOR L) connects to the Black fan wire.
   • Blue receiver wire (FOR LIGHT) connects to the Blue light wire.
5. If there are wires with different colors, have this unit installed by a qualified licensed electrician.
6. Push all connected wires up into the junction box.
7. Lay the black antenna wire on top of the receiver, and place the receiver in the mounting bracket. (Refer to Fig. 3).
8. Reinstall the canopy onto the mounting bracket.
9. Restore electrical power.

Fig. 2 Description: This figure illustrates the receiver unit being placed inside the ceiling fan's mounting bracket and canopy. It shows how the receiver connects to the fan's wiring and the main AC supply.

Fig. 3 Description: This is a wiring diagram for the receiver installation. It shows the connections between the AC supply (black, white, green/bare ground wires) and the receiver unit, as well as the connections from the receiver to the ceiling fan motor (black, white wires) and the light kit (blue wire).

3. Installing the Wall Transmitter

⚠️ WARNING! HOOK UP "IN SERIES" ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT THE NEUTRAL SUPPLY WIRE OF THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT TO THE TRANSMITTER WALL SWITCH. IMPROPER WIRING CAN DAMAGE THE TRANSMITTER WALL SWITCH AND CREATE A FIRE HAZARD!

1. Remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall outlet box.
2. Make the electrical connections as shown in Fig. 4. If your outlet box has a ground wire (Green or Bare Copper), connect the transmitter's ground wire directly to one of the screws from the outlet box. Secure all wire connections with the provided plastic wire nuts.
3. Carefully tuck the wire connections inside the outlet box. Use the provided screws to secure the wall transmitter and wall plate to the outlet box. (Refer to Fig. 5).
4. Remove the transmitter cover by snapping it off from the top or bottom. Install a 12V battery (e.g., Duracell MN21/Eveready A23/GP 23A) into the wall transmitter. (Refer to Fig. 6).

Fig. 4 Description: This diagram shows the wiring for the wall transmitter. It illustrates connections from the AC supply (black, white) and ground (green/bare copper) to the transmitter's input terminals.

Fig. 5 Description: This figure depicts the wall transmitter being mounted to the wall outlet box after the wiring connections have been made and secured.

Fig. 6 Description: This image shows the back of the wall transmitter, highlighting the battery compartment and indicating the type of 12V battery required (e.g., 23AE 12V).

4. Operation Buttons on the Panel of the Transmitter

Refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 for visual reference of the transmitter panel and buttons.

• HI key: Controls the fan to high speed.
• MED key: Controls the fan to medium speed.
• LOW key: Controls the fan to low speed.
• FAN OFF key: Turns the fan speed off.
• OFF-ON Slide Button: This button turns the power Off and On to both the Fan and the Light(s).
• LIGHT key:
  • For fans using incandescent bulbs: Select "D" in the frequency switches. The "LIGHT" button controls light brightness. Hold the "LIGHT" key down to increase or decrease the light. Tap the "LIGHT" key quickly to turn the light off or on. Pressing the button for more than 0.7 seconds activates the dimmer function, cycling brightness every 0.8 seconds. The light key has an auto-resume feature, maintaining the last brightness setting.
  • For fans using fluorescent or LED bulbs: Select "ON" in the frequency switches. The "LIGHT" button controls the light ON/OFF only.

Your remote now has full control of the fan and light.

Fig. 7 Description: This diagram shows the wall transmitter panel with clearly labeled buttons: HI, LIGHT, MED, LOW, FAN OFF, and the OFF-ON slide switch.

Fig. 8 Description: This figure shows the transmitter panel, including the frequency switches and the "D" / "ON" settings for light control, alongside the operational buttons.

5. Trouble Shooting

1. Fails to operate:
   • Is there power to the receiver?
   • Is the receiver wired correctly?
   • Is the fan manual speed control set to the highest position?
   • Is the light kit switch turned on?
   • Are the code settings identical on both the transmitter and receiver?
2. Won't operate at distance:

   If the transmitter operates the fan/light kit when close but not at approximately 20 feet away, try positioning the black antenna wire higher, such as up through the ceiling or outside the junction box.
