2.1 Installing the Hub
IMPORTANT: If you are installing the Hub onto an existing QuietCool fan, be sure to shut off the power before attempting installation. If you are installing the Hub onto a new fan, perform all installation steps before plugging in the fan.
Install the Hub directly to the motorhead:

1. Remove the handy box cover on your QuietCool fan. Remove the wire nuts from the power cord and motor wires inside the handy box. Remove the ground screw.
2. Remove the power cord bushing and power cord. Keep both the bushing and power cord as you will be using it for the installation of the hub.
3. Remove the four screws that are used to mount the handy box to the QuietCool motorhead. Retain the four screws as you will be using them to attach the Hub to the QuietCool motorhead.
4. Using your philips screwdriver, open up the Hub and install the powercord bushing through the hole at the back of the hub.
5. Run the motor wire leads through the large knockout in the bottom of the hub.
6. Using the four screws from the handybox, mount the Hub to your QuietCool motorhead.

2.2 Wiring the Hub
NOTE: Wiring Diagrams are for examples only. Wiring should be done by a licensed electrician following local building and electrical codes and/or NEC guidelines. 12 or 14-gauge romex is common. Check your local building code before choosing the wire type.
NOTE: Ensure the power is disconnected before performing any wiring connections.
NOTE: The wiring diagrams and instructions are shown using the power cord included with your QuietCool. The installation can also be performed with 2-wire romex and hard wired.
NOTE: If you are retrofitting the RF Control, you will have to un-wire the existing wall switch. You will reuse the power that was run to the switch to go directly into the RF Control Hub.

  2. Two Speed Fan: blink twice every 2 seconds
  3. Three Speed Fan: blink three times every 2 seconds

Pair Indicator

• The Pair LED indicator will light up when making pair operations. Please see page 12 for details on pairing.

Notes on Operation

• If the Dip Switch is not configured correctly, all the indicators on the Hub will stay solid when the Hub is powered on. Please switch off power and re-configure the Dip Switch as shown in the wiring diagrams.

2.4 Pairing the Wall Switch

1. Remove the mounting plate from the back of the switch and install the included AAA batteries into the switch by removing the plastic covers. All the LED indicators will light up indicating that the switch has power. Replace the plastic covers.
2. Press and hold the Pair button on the Hub. The Pair LED indicator will be on for three seconds then turn off. This clears all previous pairings out of the Hub,
3. Press the Pair button on the Hub twice. The Pair LED indicator will blink once every second indicating the Hub is in pairing mode.
4. Press any of the buttons on the Wall Switch to wake it up. Now hold one of the buttons on the switch. The Pair LED indicator on the Hub will go out and the Wall Switch speed indicators will be blinking indicating successful pairing. Press one of the Wall Switch buttons again, the speed indicators will go out, and it will display the current fan status.
5. Press the Timer button to test the Wall Switch to make sure it is communicating with the Hub.

NOTE: If a button on the Wall Switch is not pressed within three minutes of pressing the Pair button on the Hub, the LED indicator on the Hub will go out, indicating unsuccessful pairing. You will need to go back and repeat steps 4 and 5.
2.5 Finding a Location for the Wall Switch

1. It is very important to find the correct location to install the Wall Switch that will allow the Wall Switch to communicate with the Hub.
2. Find the location you would like to install the Wall Switch and test that it properly communicates with the fan to turn the fan on and off.
3. If the fan comes on, this is a good location.
4. If all the LED indicators turn on, the Wall Switch is not communicating with the Hub and you will need to find a location closer to the fan.

2.6 Installing the Wall Switch

1. Using your hands, slide the Wall Switch off the mounting plate.
2. If you have an existing Wall Switch with a junction box installed, install the mounting plate over the junction box using the oblong holes on the mounting plate. Make sure you install the mounting plate with the arrow facing upwards.
3. If you do not have an existing junction box, simply install the mounting plate to the drywall. Using the included drywall anchors and screws, mount the plate onto the drywall through the four mounting holes.

3.2 Frequently Asked Questions

What does RF Mean?

“RF” Stands for Radio Frequency.

How does RF Work?

A small electronic device is used to transmit and/or receive radio signals between two devices. In an embedded system, it often communicates with another device wirelessly. This wireless communication may be complished through optical communication or through radio frequency (RF) communication.

Will RF Interfere with other devices in my home?

The RF will not interfere with other wireless or RF devices in your house. It produces its own unique RF signal that can only communicate with our RF Switch.

How many switches can you connect to a single hub?

You can connect up to 20 switches to a single hub.

Will my neighbor be able to control my fan if they have the same set up as me?

They will not because you need to physically activate the pairing process between the RF Switch and the RF Hub.

What is the range?

The RF Switch and RF Hub have a range restriction of 100ft.

What happens if I lose the RF Switch?

If you lose or damage an RF Switch you will need to purchase another and re- pair the new one to the RF Hub.

Can you control multiple fans with a single switch?

No. You can only control one RF Hub per switch.

How long do the batteries last?

One year.

Why are all my lights solid on the hub and nothing is working?

If you’re experiencing solid lights on the hub then it is an indication that your DIP switches are not in the correct position. Disconnect power, adjust your DIP switches, and the only light that should be lit is your RED power light.

Why is there a medium speed if my fan is only a two speed?

The RF Hub and RF Switch are universal to all QuietCool models. There are some units that feature three speeds which use the medium on the switch. As long as your DIP switch is set correctly in the hub, the switch will automatically skip over medium speed.

How do I change the DIP switch to the correct speed of my fan?

You will need to disconnect power, make your adjustment inside the hub, and then reconnect power.

Can you connect the RF Control to a smart home system like Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?

No, in the current configuration the RF Control cannot connect to a smart home system. There are systems on the market that take RF signal and translate them to a smart home system, but they have not been tested and may not work reliably.
