POWER PARAMETER LIST
| Voltage | Fan(max.) | Lamp(max.) |
|---|---|---|
| 120V | 40W | 60W |
Adopt RF wireless digit emission technique, biunique controlled , coincident
code rate is less than one millionth.(Emitter and receiver must be sent back
to factory for maintenance if damaged.)
Receiver can be controlled by any angles of the emitter in prescriptive space,
unrestricted by direction.
With the memory function, the controller can save the status( light and
direction ) while the supply power OFF and resume to the original after reload
the power supply.
FUNCTION INSTRUCTION OF EMITTER
- LED indicated light
- ON/OFF the fan
- Turn up the speed of the fan
- Turn down the speed of the fan
- Direction of the fan (reverse switch}
- Short press: ON/OFF the light Long press: Adjust the brightness of the light
- Timing control of the fan
- 3V CR2032 battery X 1pcs
KINDLY REMINDERS:
- If the emitter can not control the fan, learning code matching mode is used between emitter and receiver. Turn “ON” the supply power within 30 seconds and press the emitter’s ” ” button for 5 seconds, it can load normally after hearing a long sound “bee”, which means learning successfully and it can works normally. (PS: Learning mode is not accepted after turn “ON” the supply power for 30 seconds
- When the emitter cannot control the receiver, please check the battery switch touching normally or not, correction of the positive and negative, full or empty of the power.
- When the emitter cannot control the receiver, please check is there any existence of similar remote controlled products nearby, then check whether they works, because remote controlled product with the same frequency will disturb each other.
- Low voltage of battery will affect the sensitivity of the emitter and the signal reception accordingly(the indicated light will flash out its warning when the battery get low voltage), must replace if the battery is getting low voltage.
- Please take out the battery from the emitter when leaving unused for long time.
- The maximum load of lighting see the above “POWER PARAMETER LIST” PS: please connect the ground wire correctly, otherwise it may cause the I ight micro-I ight or flash
- When installing the fan, the fan ceiling cover don’t press the antenna(or other wire),it is easy to breakdown the wire and short-circuited.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Please refer to the instruction sheet for detailed directions and descriptions of installation steps and requirements
FAN / REMOTE IS NOT WORKING
Ensure the remote is within the 20\ foot range of the receiver.
To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan using the wall switch or
circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from remote.
3) Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn power on Check batteries to
insure they are good and oriented correctly.
Check to make sure the frequency switches (DIP Switches) from the remote to
the receiver are set to the same frequency.
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
If using a Variable Speed Wall Switch, ensure it is specifically designed for
use with a ceiling fan.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and the switch wire conn e switch
housing per the instructions
If fan still does not work, please contact Customer Service
Support@parrotuncle.com
THE FAN IS NOISY
Make sure all motor housing screws are tightened
Make sure the screws that attach fan blade to motor are tight.
Make sure the wire nut connectors are not rattling against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing.
Allow 24-hour break in period. Most noises associated with the new fan may
disappear during this time.
If using a ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.
Make sure there is a short distance/gap from the ceiling to the top of the
canopy. The canopy should not touch the ceiling!
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that the rubber isolator pads are
used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
THE FAN WOBBLES
Verify all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble
problems are caused by loose parts). Once fan is properly
installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level
using the following process:
a)select a point on the ceiling above the p of one of the blades. Then
select the fan blade and measure from the center
of the selected blade to point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the
ceiling for every blade. Measurements should be within 1/8 inch.
b) If all deviation are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to
wobble, please contact Customer Service
Support@parrotuncle.com
– If all deviations are less than 1/8 inch and the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service Support@parrotuncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.
LIGHT IS NOT WORKING
Check Bulb to make sure it is installed correctly
Remove non-working bulb and replace with a bulb that is known to be a good
working bulb
To reset the remote control: 1) Turn off power to fan
using the wall switch or circuit breaker. 2) Remove batteries from remote. 3)
Wait 10 seconds. 4) Replace batteries and turn power on.
AFTER INSTALLATION
“WOBBLE”
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble.
NOTE:CEILING FANS TEND TO MOVE DURING OPERATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY
ARE MOUNTED ON A RUBBER CROMMET. IF THE FAN WAS MOUNTED RIGIDLY TO THE
CEILING, IT WOULD CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION. MOVEMENT OF A FEW CENTIMENTERS IS
QUITE ACCEPTABLE AND DOES NOT SUGGEST ANY PROBLEM
TO REDUCE THE FAN WOBBLE: PLEASE CHECK THAT ALL SCREWS WHICH SECURED THE
MOUNTING BRACKET AND DOWNROD ARE SECURE. BALANCING A WOBBLING CEILING FAN:
For your convenience, a Balancing Kit is included; please follow this
procedure when balancing the fan:
-
Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
-
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″(0.32cm).
-
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
-
If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
NOISE
When it is quiet(especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during the time.
CARE AND CLEANING
- Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please make sure to turn off electricity power before you clean your fan.
- Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
- Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil
NOTE : MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY CLEANING OR REPAIRS.
