Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 7 feet from floor to the blade and 18  inches from wall to the blade. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 – 9 feet from floor to the blade for optimal airflow. Consult your Fanimation Retailer for optional mounting accessories.
Turn Off When Not in the Room
Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round
Summer Season: Use the ceiling fan in the counterclockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. Select a  fan speed that provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume less energy.

Winter Season: Reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction.
This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space.
Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan-additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!

Electrical and Structural Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 HZ, 15 Amp Circuit. Electrical code requires use of a fan-rated outlet box to support  the extra weight and motion associated with a ceiling fan. A fan-rated box will be labeled as such and typically supports up to a 70lbs ceiling fan. Fan-Rated Outlet Boxes vary  in ratings and design. Ensure the ratings of your ceiling fan outlet box meet the requirements for the ceiling fan being installed. Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 depicts different structural configurations that may be used for mounting the outlet box.

Low profile box (Figure 1)
A 1/2-in.-deep pancake box is meant to be screwed to a joist or block. It’s used if only one cable is coming into the box. It is also available in a saddle-mount configuration.

Deep box (Figure 2)
A 2-1/4-in.-deep box can be attached to blocking between joists and is roomy enough to handle more than one cable.

Deep box with brace (Figure 3)
Paired with a deep box, this hanger is meant to span between two joists and takes the place of wooden blocking.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less and use mounting screws  rovided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of luminaires are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced, consult a  qualified electrician if in doubt.
If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.

WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.
WARNING
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described in these instructions should be done or approved by a licensed electrician.
WARNING
Do not operate this fan with a variable (Rheostat) wall controller or dimmer switch. Doing so could result in damage to the ceiling fan’s remote control unit.

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan

WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before hanging. (Figure 1)
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7´ of clearance from floor to blades. (Figure 2)
WARNING
It is critical that the outlet box and the screws are securely anchored to the building structure and capable of withstanding a load of at least 35 lbs. Failure to verify that the  screws are properly installed could result in the fan falling.
CAUTION
Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely installed. Hanging fan with blades connected may result in damage to the fan blades.

1. Securely attach the outlet box acceptable for ceiling fan support into the building structure. Outlet box is not supplied with the fan. (Figure 3)
2. Remove the four screws and hex nuts from the ceiling plate assembly. Retain the screws and hex nuts for later. (Figure 4)
3. Using the 3/8″ x 2″ lag bolt and flat washer, attach safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member. The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety cable  loop, and into the building structure (Figure 5). You will first drill a 1/4″ pilot hole into the building structure to prevent splitting or cracking.
4. The ceiling support cable need to pass through the center hole of ceiling plate assembly when mounting. Using the two #8-32 screws and washers securely attach the  ceiling plate assembly to ceiling outlet box as shown. (Figure 5)
5. Hang the motor assembly as shown. (Figure 6)
6. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including the ground wire from supply and ceiling support cable are pulled through the center hole of ceiling plate assembly,  between the ceiling plate assembly and the motor assembly so that electrical connections can be made later.
7. Attach the safety cable to ceiling support cable. Slide cable clamp onto safety cable (from fan). Place the end of cable through the loop of ceiling support cable. Pull as  much cable through loop as possible. Feed end of cable into clamp hole and firmly tighten screw (Figure 7). Cut off excess safety cable.

How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan

NOTE: The remote unit has 32 different code combinations. To prevent possible interference from or to other remote units, simply change the combination code in the remote and receiver.
