General
Your Emerson Ceiling Fan/Light Remote Control consists of a hand-held transmitter and a receiver which is mounted under the fan ceiling cover. The remote control is designed to separately control your ceiling fan speed and light intensity. There are four push buttons (., .., …, ….) to set the fan speed and turn the fan off. The light ( ) push button turns the light on and off and controls the light intensity. The red indicator light will illuminate when any button is pressed, indicating that the battery is good. The remote control transmitter is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries (not included). To prevent possible damage if the batteries should leak, be sure to remove the batteries when the control is not to be used for an extended period.
Code switches in the transmitter may be set in 32 different positions. If your fan and light go on and off without using your control, you may be getting interference from other remote units such as garage door openers, car alarms or security systems. To remedy this situation, simply change the combination code in your transmitter.
Preset Memory Feature
Your Emerson receiver is equipped with a preset memory feature. If the AC supply to the receiver is powered through a wall switch when the switch is turned OFF, the control will remember the light intensity and fan speed. When the switch is turned back ON the light and fan will resume operation as they were prior to the switch being turned OFF.
Installation
Installation of Battery
- Remove the battery cover by pressing firmly below the arrow and sliding the cover off the control (Figure 1).

WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse or circuit breaker box before installing the receiver.

After electricity has been turned off at the main fuse box or circuit breaker box, remove the ceiling cover from the hanger bracket.
-
Disconnect the supply wiring to the fan by removing wire connectors. Do not disconnect the green/bare ground wires.
-
Connect the black supply wire to the receiver black wire (AC IN L). Connect the white supply wire to the receiver white wire (AC IN N). Use only the listed wire connectors (supplied) to make connections.
-
Connect the receiver white wire (TO MOTOR N) to the fan white wire. Connect the receiver’s red wire (TO MOTOR L) to the fan’s black wire. Connect the receiver blue wire (FOR LIGHT) to the fan blue wire.
CAUTION: If no light exists on your ceiling fan, cap the blue wire on the receiver with a wire connector. -
Push the connected wires up into the junction box and position the receiver in the hanger bracket above the hanger ball. Lay the antenna wire on top of the receiver.
-
Reinstall the ceiling cover and restore electrical power to the circuit.
Setting Operating Frequency of Transmitter
Your remote control transmitter has code switches that must be set in one of 32 possible code combinations. The five levers (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) on the switches are factory-set in the ON (up) position. Do not use this setting. Change the switch settings as follows:
- Slide the five switch levers in the remote control (transmitter) to your choice of ON (up) or down positions. Use a ball-point pen or small screwdriver and slide the levers firmly up or down.
- When power is restored after installation of the wall control, push and hold the fan OFF button ( ) for 3 to 5 seconds to set the code in the receiver.
- The sixth switch marked ON and I is for dimming control of lights: Set the switch to ON to allow for dimming of the lights. Set the switch to I for no dimming of the lights such as for fluorescent bulbs.
