WIRING SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM FOR RECEIVER
POWER PARAMETER LIST
| Voltage | Fan (max.) |
|---|---|
| 120 V | 35W |
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.

- ON/OFF the fan
- Turn up the speed of the fan
- Turn down the speed of the fan
- Direction of the fan
- Short press: ON/OFF the light (reverse switch) Long press:
- Adjust the brightness of the light

a. WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.
b) This product contains a lithium button/coin cell battery. If a new or used
lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause
severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always
completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away
from children.
If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of
the body, seek immediate medical attention.
c) The cells shall be disposed of properly, including keeping them away from
children; and d) Even used cells may cause injury
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 light micro-light 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
- 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.
- 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 connections in the switch housing per the instructions If fan still does not work, please contact Customer Service Support@Parrot.Uncle.com
-
THE FAN IS NOISY
Make sure all motor housing screws are tight
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 insulating 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 tip 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@parrot.Uncle.com to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit
-If all deviation 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.
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 grommet. If the fan was mounted rigidly to the
ceiling, It would cause excess vibration. Movement of A few centimeters 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:
- 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 electing 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).
- 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.
