ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.

NOTE: The Aire Control® System is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 32 code combinations to prevent potential interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 11) No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another fan within the same home or area with a seperate frequency code please see the “frequency interference” troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency. The “D (DIMMER)” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “ON (ON/OFF)” selection is the light on only (no dimming function) and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL bulbs cannot be dimmed properly.

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL/WALL CONTROL

Your DC brushless motor is equipped with a self learning frequency function remote control. Restore power to ceiling fan and test the transmitter as below for proper operation:

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 button: These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows:
  • 1 = minimum speed
  • 2 = low speed
  • 3 = medium low speed
  • 4 = medium speed
  • 5 = medium high speed
  • 6 = high speed
• Reverse button: This button is used to change the direction of the rotation of the blades; forward for warm weather or reverse for warm weather.
• button: This button turns the power Off to the Fan
• Button: These buttons turn the light ON or OFF, this fan’s light will not dim. The following instructions apply to ceiling fans that feature a DOWN light ( button) only or ceiling fans that feature an UP light ( button) and a DOWN light ( button) that are controlled independent of each other; Press and release the button for the desired light to turn the light ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set the desired light brightness. The light will cycle between bright and dim settings as long as the button is pressed. The light key has an automatic auto-resume feature that allows the light to remain at the same brightness as the last time it was turned off.

Note: The auto learning function will only mandate within 60 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON.

1. Select desired frequency from the back of transmitter.
2. Press the transmitter’s “SET” button, and hold the “SET” button for over 5 seconds. Once the receiver has detected the frequency, the fan will automatically begin to operate and start to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction and onv the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counter-clockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to clockwise direction again to the highest RPM for 3 minutes. Fan will shut off when the self calibration test has finished. The total self calibration test will last about 6 minutes.

Note: During self calibration test, the remote will be non-function.

Note: The learning frequency function and self calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.

1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will get locked operation and disconnect power after 30 seconds if interruption occurs. Please remove obstacles before re-set.
2. Over 38W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 38W, the receiver’s power will stop and operation will be immediately discontinued. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.
3. “D” and “ON” dip switch: The “D” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “ON” selection is For CFL bulbs.

Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.

NOTE: To change the direction of the rotation of the blades the fan must be in operation mode. Warm Weather (forward) A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 18. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort. Cool Weather (Reverse) An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 19. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.

1. Because of the fan’s natural movement some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION; many common household cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
