Universal Mode and Learning Mode
There ar e “Universal Mode” and “Learning Mode” with the remote controller.
If choosing “Universal Mode”, simply place both dip (code) switch at UPPER
position. Your fan with the remote controller is ready to use. (Fig. 3)
Note: If using universal mode, your fan can be controlled with other remote
transmitters with the same setting.
To control the fan with specific remote transmitter, choose “Learning Mode” by
placing the dip (code) switch at LOWER position and then make learn function
setting as below.
Important: Only turn the power on for the fan which you would pair with the
transmitter and make sure to turn the power off for all other fans which use
the same remote controller.

fan. Restore power source to your fan, press and hold the “SET” button for
about 4 seconds until buzzer inside receiver sounds. Your remote controller is
ready to operate the fan. You must press the “SET” button within 1 minute of
restoring power to the fan. (Fig.3)
Note: If the power is on already, you must turn the power off for at least 5
seconds, then turn the power back, and wait for 5 seconds at least for remote
control learn function setting. If the fan is running after turn power back,
still wait for at least 5 seconds and then press and hold the “SET” button for
about 4 seconds until buzzer inside receiver sounds. Your remote controller is
ready to operate the fan.
Note: If you want to control a fan with 2 transmitters, turn the power off for
at least 5 seconds and then turn the power back and wait for at least 6
seconds for learn function setting. Setting for both transmitters must be done

Note: Fan speed and Light will maintain last setting if turned off by a wall switch.
The receiver provides the following protective functions
Lock protection- The DC motor has a built-in safety feature against blade or
motor obstruction during operation. If something obstructs the fan blades or
motor, the motor will keep trying to run for 3 times and then stop operation
after about 30 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles and reset. To
reset it by turn the fan off by remote transmitter and then turn the fan on.
Overload protection (current limit)- The device will limits the maximum
current output from the receiver/drive when the fan load was increased
abnormally.
User Tips
- If your fan is operated automatically after installation and power on, it is because your fan is still memorized the previous setting at the factory. Use universal mode or make learn function setting and your fan will be ready for use.
- If fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off for at least 5 seconds, then turn the power back, and wait for 5 seconds at least) and redo the learn function setting. You must press the “SET” button within 1 minute of restoring power to the fan.
- If two or more fans in the same remote signal range are on the same power supply, they cannot be operated separately by remote control. Use a separate power supply for each fan, such as an individual wall switch, and restrict the power supply to only the fan which you are pairing with its transmitter in order to use the remote controller.
- You may erase the code setting of the transmitters by turning the power off for at least 5 seconds, then turn power back and wait for at least 5 seconds then push and hold the “OFF” button of the transmitter which you are using for at least 10 seconds. You must press the ‘OFF” button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan.
- When fan is turned on or operated forward/reverse function, it shutters & goes back & forth until it turns. It is a normal performance of this fan and it will take for few seconds to run this operation.
Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of
incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation
errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check
this Troubleshooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are
experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service
Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.
Warning: Before you begin installing, servicing or cleaning the fan unit,
switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service panel to
prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service
panel cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to the service panel.
-
If fan does not start:
-
Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
-
Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing. CAUTION
-
If this fan uses manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is pushed firmly either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
-
If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.
-
If fan sounds noisy:
-
Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over-tightened).
-
Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
-
Check to make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
-
Check to be sure the lightbulb is tight in the socket and not touching the glass shade.
-
Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
-
Allow a “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
-
If fan wobbles:
-
If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge on the mounting bracket engages the notch in the downrod ball.
-
Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened securely to
ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to the ceiling joist. -
Check that all blades are screwed firmlv into blade holders.
-
Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to the motor.
-
Most fan wobble 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 from blade tip to ceiling. Keeping measure within 1/8″, rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor. Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from top of the blade.
-
If blade wobbles is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to dynamically balance your fan with the balancing kit provided. -
If light does not work:
-
Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from the house.
-
Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
-
Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
-
Check for faulty lightbulbs and make sure bulb is tight in the socket.
-
Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
-
If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the correct setting and make sure the battery works.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering the switch housing and/or canopy.
