HOW TO CHOOSE A PROPER LOCATION FOR CEILING FAN

1. According to regulations and to provide a safe clearance from the floor, the lowest point on the fan blade must be at least 2.1 metres (7 feet) from the floor.

2. For fan installed enclosed outdoors, the fan must be installed at least 1.5m from the perimeter of roof/eaves of the enclosure to protect the product from direct or indirect rain water or sunlight.

4. Please check carefully and make sure that ceiling joists are strong enough and of adequate size to support the weight of about 35 kg.

5. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, please make sure that the fan mounting bracket is directly supported from the building structure. Do not mount to an outlet box.

6. The mounting bracket must be firmly screwed to a load bearing building structure e.g. a concrete ceiling, steel structure, or a timber frame. If additional timber frames are to be added, those must be securely nailed or screwed between the beams.

7. Attach fan blades after the fan motor housing is installed and properly secured. Keep the fan motor and blades in the original package until it is ready to be installed.

USING YOUR CEILING FAN WITH REMOTE CONTROL

IMPORTANT
YOU MUST SET CEILING FAN MANUAL SWITCH TO HIGH SPEED AND LIGHT KIT (IF ANY) TO ON POSITION BEFORE OPERATING REMOTE CONTROL

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER:

1. Please read and save these instructions.
2. Please note that all fixed wiring appliances should be installed by a qualified electrician.
3. The supply to the remote control receiver should be connected through a mains switch, i.e. existing wall switch.
4. Disconnect from power supply at wall switch before working on remote control receiver or ceiling fan.
5. Install receiver into the ceiling fan canopy of the fan to ensure proper protection.
6. This unit is to be used for the control of ceiling fan and in an AC120V 60Hz power supply only, rated max 1.25A for fan, max 300W for light.
7. Do not install in damp locations or immerse in water. (For indoor use only.)
8. Do not pull on or cut leads shorter.
9. Do not drop or bump the unit.
10. PLEASE NOTE: The battery will weaken with age and should be replaced before leaking takes place as this will damage the transmitter. Dispose of used battery properly, keep the battery out of reach of children.
11. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or injury, do not use this product in conjunction with any variable (rheostat) wall control.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: INCORRECT WIRE CONNECTION WOULD DAMAGE THIS RECEIVER

1. Ceiling fan must be set at HIGH speed and light kit (If any) at ON position by pressing the “Light Switch” after installation.
2. Once the connection has been made, the receiver inserts into the drop rod hanging bracket. The canopy comes up to cover the receiver and bracket.

REPAIRING THE FAN RECEIVER & REMOTE PAIRING

1. CODE SWITCH
   1. CODE SWITCH: Codes are set by pushing dip switches up or down. It is imperative that the code used for both transmitter and receiver is exactly the same, otherwise remote controller will not work. Please note the code switch will enable you to operate a second remote controller independently. Forexample, if you have two ceiling fans with 2 remote control units, set 2 different codes for each set of transmitter/receivers. This means you can operate each ceiling fan independently.

2. Your remote control is ready for use after battery installation(need 12V battery 1pc).

IMPORTANT FACTS

All electric motors, including fan motors make some noise and may feel hot to touch – this is not a fault. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation as they are not generally rigid-mounted. Rigid mounted ceiling fans generate excessive vibration and stress on their mountings.  Movement of a couple of centimetres is quite normal and does not suggest the fan will fall down. Please note – all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model some may move more or less than others. Fan lights can rattle, if they are not supplied with the fan. They are not covered by warranty.

FAN OPERATION

A ceiling fan is an environmentally smart choice when it comes to cooling as well as helping to warm your room. You should see a reduction in both cooling and heating costs by regular use of your fans. Do not hesitate to use your fans in both summer and winter months. In summer fans should be set to spin in anti clockwise direction blowing down cool breeze. In winter, fan should be set to spin in clock wise direction so that an upward airflow will push warm air off the ceiling and circulate it downwards into the living areas. In winter months use the fan on a lower speed than in summer.

NORMAL WEAR AND TEARt
Threaded components working slightly loose, or blade carriers becoming slightly bent due to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. This is not covered under warranty, but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.

NIGHT NOISES
This is the biggest cause of service calls, which are outside the manufacturer’s warranty. If a fan has a fault it will be noticeable at all times. Naturally when everything is quiet at night you will be more inclined to hear small noises, which may not be noticeable at other times. Even slight signals super imposed in your electricity supply for off peak hot water control may cause a change in the fan motor noise. This is normal.
