Light switch

The putroad DY1224-3B/42 ceiling fan is designed to be operated primarily via its remote control. However, it should still respond to a standard wall switch for basic power control. If your wall switch is not working, consider the following possibilities:

• Wiring Configuration: Most modern remote-controlled fans require the wall switch to be in the "ON" position at all times to provide power to the remote receiver. If the contractor wired the fan to bypass the switch or if the receiver is not receiving a signal from that specific circuit, the switch will appear non-functional.
• Memory Function: Many DC motor fans like this one have a memory function. If you turn the light off with the remote and then flip the wall switch off and back on, the light may stay off because the last command it received (via remote) was to be "OFF." Try turning the light "ON" with the remote first, then test the wall switch.
• Dimmer Switch Incompatibility: If your previous fan used a wall-mounted dimmer switch, it may not be compatible with this fan's DC motor and LED driver. This fan features its own stepless dimming (20%-100%) via the remote. Using an external wall dimmer can cause the fan to hum, flicker, or fail to power on entirely. It is recommended to use a standard ON/OFF toggle switch.
• Installation Check: Ensure the contractor connected the household "Live" wire to the receiver's input correctly. If the fan works with the remote, it is receiving power, but the wall switch must be left in the "ON" position for the remote to function.

If you prefer to use the wall switch to turn the light on and off, ensure the light is active via the remote before using the switch. If the switch still does not cut power to the unit, the contractor may have wired the fan to a "constant hot" wire, bypassing your wall switch entirely.
