Product Information

The Westinghouse Jax fan Wall Control is designed for use with the following models: 78003, 78127, 78614, and 78409. It is a wall control rated for a maximum of 8 Amps fan load at 120  olts. The control requires a three- conductor cable with a ground wire to be run between the control wall box and the ceiling fan outlet.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installing the wall control, verify the proper operation of the ceiling fan wall control to avoid any damage that may void the warranty.
2. Disconnect power to the ceiling fan at the main electric panel by removing the fuse or switching the circuit breaker to the OFF position. Make sure to turn off the electricity at the main fuse or circuit breaker box.
3. Remove the rotary speeds knob and on/off switch knob from the control.
4. To remove the front cover, follow these steps:
   • Position the cover over the ON/OFF button with the four protrusions inserted into the groove provided on the extrusion ribs.
   • Gently push the cover upwards so that the two protrusions on top of the cover are higher than the extrusion ribs.
   • Take out the top half of the cover and then push it downwards to make the other two protrusions come out of the extrusion ribs.
   • Take out the entire cover.
5. Refer to wiring diagram 1 for wiring and installation of the wall control to the outlet box using the supplied screws. Make sure not to connect any neutral (WHITE) wire to this control as it can cause damage.
6. Check all connections to ensure they are tight, including the ground wire, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire connectors except for the ground wire.
7. With the wall control set to the off position, restore electricity to the circuit from the circuit breaker panel or fuse box.

How to Operate Your Wall Control:

1. Turn the wall control ON using the push button on the Westinghouse Jax Fan Wall Control. Set the fan to High speed and allow it to run for 30 minutes to normalize the motor temperature.
2. To adjust the fan RPM, locate the adjustment screw on the control’s front panel (refer to diagram 3). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to slowly turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease RPM and counter-clockwise to increase RPM. Make small adjustments and allow the fan to speed up or slow down before making the next adjustment.
