Remote Controller - General Information
General Information
This remote controller is designed to separately control your ceiling fan speed and light brightness. There are four buttons (HI, MED, LOW, OFF) to control the speed of the fan and off. The light button will control the light brightness dimmer and on/off. The red indicator on the transmitter will light when one of the five buttons is pressed.
Instruction of Installation and Operation
1. Setting the Codes
This unit has 16 different code combinations. To set the codes, perform the following steps:
- Setting the codes on the transmitter:
- Remove battery cover. Press firmly on the arrow and slide battery cover off.
- Slide code switches to your choice of up or down position. Factory setting is all up. Do not use this position. Use a small screwdriver or ball point pen to slide firmly up or down (Figure 1).
- Setting the codes on the receiver:
- Slide code switches to the same position as set on your transmitter (Figure 2).
- Replace battery cover on the transmitter.
2. Installing Receiver in Ceiling Fan
A. Safety Precautions:
- WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE! Disconnect power by removing fuse or switching off circuit breaker.
- Do not use with solid state fans.
- Electrical wire must meet all local and national electrical code requirements.
- Supply for fan must be 110/120 volt, 60Hz. Maximum fan motor amps: 1.0, Maximum light watts: 240 (incandescent or ballast). Otherwise, power can cause serious injury or death.
B. Installing receiver in fan:
- Remove power from the circuit.
- Remove ceiling fan canopy from the mounting bracket.
- Disconnect existing wiring between ceiling fan and supply in electrical junction box.
- Make connections as follows, using the wire nuts supplied:
Wiring Connections:
- FROM POWER SOURCE (AC 110~120 VOLT 60Hz 3.5AMPS):
- CONNECT TO RECEIVER:
Receiver Input (AC IN):
- Green fan wire (Ground) .... Bare supply wire (Ground)
- Red or Black receiver wire (AC IN L) .... Red or Black supply wire (Live)
- White receiver wire (AC IN N) .... White supply wire (Neutral)
Receiver Output:
- White receiver wire (TO MOTOR N) .... White fan wire (Neutral to Motor)
- Black receiver wire (TO MOTOR L) .... Black fan wire (Live to Motor)
- Blue receiver wire (FOR LIGHT) .... Blue light wire (Live to Light)
Use wire connecting nuts supplied with the fan.
Diagram Description (Figure 3 & 4): Shows the wiring connections between the power source, receiver, and ceiling fan components (motor and light). It illustrates how to connect the wires using wire nuts and emphasizes placing the antenna outside the canopy box for better operation distance.
Important Notes:
- CAUTION: Ceiling Angle Shall Not Exceed 30 Degrees, For Mounting Controller, Model FAN28R-240W.
- ANTENNA PUT AT OUTSIDE OF CANOPY BOX CAN GET MORE OPERATION DISTANCE.
- LIGHT MUST BE KEPT AT THE ON POSITION.
- FAN MUST BE KEPT AT THE HIGH SPEED.
If other fans or supply wires are different color, have this unit installed by qualified licensed electrician.
- Push all connected wires up into junction box.
- Lay the brown antenna wire on top of the receiver, and put the receiver into the mounting bracket.
- Reinstall the canopy on the mounting bracket.
- Restore power.
3. Operating Transmitter
A. Install 9 volt battery (not included). (To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used for a long time).
B. Store the transmitter away from excessive heat or humidity.
C. Code Combinations: This remote control unit is equipped with 16 code combinations. In order to prevent possible interference from or to other remote units such as garage door openers, car alarm or security system. If you find that your fan and light kit go on and off without using your remote control, simply change the code combination in your transmitter and receiver.
D. Operating the buttons on the panel of the transmitter:
- HI key - for fan high speed.
- MED key - for fan medium speed.
- LOW key - for fan low speed.
- OFF key - for fan off.
Light Function: The light function is controlled by pressing the LIGHT/DIMMER key. Tap key quickly to turn light off or on. Keep pressing the button in excess of 0.7 second and it becomes a dimmer; the light varies cyclically in 0.8 second. The receiver can remember the last status of the light brightness when the light was switched, so that it can resume to adjust the light brightness.
Diagram Description (Transmitter): Shows the remote transmitter with buttons labeled HI, MED, LOW, OFF, and LIGHT/DIMMER. It also indicates the 9-volt battery compartment and mentions an operation distance of 20 feet.
Optional Wall Mounting for Transmitter Holder: Place in accessible area of your home, and screw the transmitter holder into wall using the two screws provided. Slide hand unit into holder.
4. Trouble Shooting Guide
- Fails to operate
- Power to receiver?
- Receiver wired correctly?
- Fan manual speed control in highest position?
- Light kit switch turned on?
- Good battery in the transmitter?
- Code set at exact same positions in both transmitter and receiver?
- Won't operate at distance
- If transmitter operates fan/light kit when up close, but not at 20 feet away. Try placing the brown antenna wire higher, up through ceiling/outside the junction box.
Notice!
Your ceiling fan and light kit assembly must meet the following requirements:
- Do not use with solid state fans.
- Electrical rating: 120v 60Hz 3.5A
- MAX. Motor amps: 1.0
- MAX. Light watts: 240 (incandescent, or ballast non-dimmer)
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, THIS FAN MUST BE INSTALLED WITH A WALL CONTROL/SWITCH.
