MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn’t an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the full weight of the fan (up to 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of deferent ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a longer down rod to maintain proper clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12″ is suggested for optimal operation.

NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger” for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin installation. This is necessary for your safety and also the proper programming of the control system.

To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Before attaching fan to outlet box (not included), ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will cause the fan to wobble). Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the center of the ceiling mounting bracket. Install mounting bracket to outlet box in ceiling using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 5)

Step 2. Remove the hairpin and clevis pin from the down rod assembly, retain for later use.
Remove the hanger ball from the down rod assembly by loosening set screw, removing the cross pin, and sliding ball of the rod. (Fig. 6)

NOTE: Make sure to keep loosen hardware separate to avoid confusion during installation.

Step 3. Loosen the two set screws on the motor coupling. (Fig. 7)

Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires and safety cable up through the down rod.
Thread the down rod onto the motor coupling until the clevis pin holes are aligned. Next, replace the clevis pin and hairpin, then tighten both set screws. (Fig. 8)

Step 5. Slip the coupling cover, canopy hole cover and canopy onto the down rod. Carefully reinstall the hanger ball onto the down rod. Make sure the cross pin is in the correct position and the set screw is tight and the wires are not twisted. (Fig. 9)

Step 6. Now lift the motor body into position and place the hanger ball into the mounting bracket. Rotate until the “Check Tab” has dropped into the “Registration Slot” and seats firmly. (Fig. 10) The entire motor body should not rotate if this is done correctly.

WARNING: Failure to properly seat the “Check Tab” can damage the ceiling fan during operation.

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT (required for Canadian installation ONLY)

A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from failing, please install it as follows.

Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into the side of the brace that holds the outlet box. Leave 3mm (1/8″) of space between the support brace and the washer. (Fig. 11)

Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the mounting bracket and one of the holes in the outlet box into the ceiling. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall length is correct, put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the safety cable over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely. (Fig. 12)

NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only.
It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.

MAKE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure you have turned other power at the main circuit panel before wiring.

Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use the wire connectors supplied with your fan. Secure the connector with electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose wire stands or connections.

WARNING: If your house wires are die rent colors than referenced in this manual, stop immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine proper wiring.

Step 1. Insert the receiver into the mounting bracket, and keep flat in opposition of ceiling. (Fig. 13)

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to BLACK wire marked “TO MOTOR L” from the receiver. Connect the WHITE wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked “TO MOTOR N” from the receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from the fan to the BLUE wire marked “FOR LIGHT “ from the receiver. Secure all the wire connections with the plastic wire connectors provided. (Fig. 14)

Step 3. Remote Receiver to Outlet Box Electrical Connections: Connect the BLACK (hot) wire from the ceiling to the BLACK wire marked “AC IN L” from the receiver. Connect the WHITE (Neutral) wire from the ceiling to the WHITE wire marked “AC IN N” from the receiver. Secure all the wire connections with the plastic wire connectors provided. (Fig. 14)

Step 4. If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or bare copper) connect it to the fan ground wires: otherwise connect the fan ground wire to the mounting bracket. Secure the wire connection with a plastic nut provided. After connecting the wires, spread them apart so that the green and white wires are on one side of the outlet box and black and blue wires are on the other side. (Fig. 14)

NOTE: Carefully tuck the wire connections up into the outlet box.

NOTE: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 30 feet from the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the transmitting unit and the fan’s receiving unit.

FINISHING THE MOTOR INSTALLATION

Step 1. Remove one of the two shoulder screws in the mounting bracket. Loosen the second shoulder screw without fully removing it. (Fig. 15)

Step 2. Assemble canopy by rotating key slot in canopy over shoulder screw in mounting bracket. Reinstall the shoulder screw that was previously removed, then retighten two shoulder screws securely. (Fig.16)

Step 3. Securely attach and tighten the canopy hole cover over the shoulder screws in the mounting bracket utilizing the key slot twist-lock feature. (Fig. 17)

ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES

NOTE: Before continuing, make sure the power is disconnected by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the circuit box.

Step 1. Carefully slide the blade through the slot as shown. Securely fasten the five blades with blade screws and flat washers. (Fig. 18)

INSTALLING THE SWITCH HOUSING

Step 1. Remove the screw marked with a dot label which is preinstalled on mounting plate and keep for later use. Loosen the other two (do not remove). (Fig.19)

Step 2. Place the two slot holes on the switch housing over the 2 screws previously loosened from the mounting plate. Rotate the switch housing until it locks in place at the narrow end of the key holes. Secure by tightening the 2 screws previously loosened and the one previously removed. (Fig. 20)

INSTALLING THE LIGHT KIT AND GLASS

NOTE: Before continuing installation, confirm that the power is still turned off at the main circuit breaker or by removing the circuit fuse. Turning the power off using a wall switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical stock.

Step 1. Connect the 2 single pin connectors from the light kit to the 2 single pin connectors from motor assembly. Align three round holes on the light kit with the holes on the switch housing, securely tighten with three (3) screws found in light kit hardware pack. (Fig. 21)

Step 2. Secure the glass to switch housing by twisting in a clockwise direction, twist the glass gradually until it snaps on to the switch housing. Do not overtighten. (Fig. 22)

Step 3. Hold the light case up to the switch housing, align with 4 holes and securely tighten with 4 screws found in the hardware pack.(Fig. 23)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Select a location to install your handset control holder, install the holder as shown. (Fig. 24)
Step 2. Using a screwdriver, remove the battery cover from the handset and save the screw for later use. (Fig. 25)
Step 3. To make fan operational, install two 3V CR2032 batteries (included). (Fig. 26)

WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.

NOTE: If not used for long periods of time, remove batteries to prevent damage to the handset control. Store the control away from excessive heat or humidity.

To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the “Reverse” button while fan is running.

Speed setting for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.

Warm Weather Operation: Forward (counter clockwise). A downward airflow creates a cooling effect (Fig. 27). This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your general comfort.

Cool Weather Operation: Reverse (clockwise). An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling areas (Fig. 28). This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your general comfort.

NOTE: Each handset control carries a unique ID code to facilitate communication between paired devices. The ID code is set by factory and is not user changeable. However, you will be required to perform an “ID code learning” process manually under these circumstances:

If you have multiple fans installed within a close proximity and want to control all fans using a same handset control.
NOTE: Each fan requires its own receiver.
When your remote control is not responding (make sure battery is not flat).
After you have replaced a faulty transmitter or receiver with a new one.
Otherwise the remote control will not work. To perform this process manually, follow steps below:
After installing and wiring the unit, restore power to your fan, press and hold the LEARN key for 1-3 seconds, the fan will turn on at medium speed and light (if installed) will turn on. This confirms that the learning process have been completed. This operation must be completed within 30 seconds after restoring power to the fan. (Fig. 29)

NOTE: Ensure slide switch in battery compartment marked “D O” is set to “D” position. (Fig. 29)

Step 4. Replace the battery cover and tighten with screwdriver. (Fig. 29)

Step 5. The buttons control the fan speed and light as follows: (Fig. 30)

●	Low speed
●●	Medium speed
●●●	High speed
	Fan OFF
	Airflow (Forward or Reverse)
	No function (Do not use this button)
	a.) Light ON/ OFF. b.) Press and hold to dim or brighten light to desired level.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Solution
Fan will not start.	1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
	2. Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact. CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
	3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly.
	4. Ensure the batteries have a good charge.
Fan sounds noisy.	1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
	2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
	3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
	4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.
	5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
	6. Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
	7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
Fan wobble.	1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
	2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8″.
	3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
Remote control malfunction.	1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/O. wall switch if desired.
Remote control malfunction.	WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND TO ENUSRE THE PROPER OPERATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN. NEVER ATTACH THE BLADE ASSEMBLIES UNTIL THE CEILING FAN HAS BEEN MOUNTING ON THE CEILING. DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARMS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
