ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.

NOTE: The Aire Control® System for this DC motor fans is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 32 code combinations to prevent potential interference from other remote units.
The frequency on your Receiver and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. ( Fig.6)
No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another Minka Aire DC motor fan within the same home or area with a separate frequency code please see the “frequency interference” troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.

Step1. Secure the mounting plate to the ceiling outlet box with the screws and washers provided with your outlet box.
Pull the 120-volt supply wires (the black, white and ground wires) out of the outlet box and through the hole in the mounting plate and lay them to the side.(Fig. 7)

Step2. Hang the motor assembly onto the mounting plate via the hook and closed hole on the motor assembly. This will allow for handsfree wiring.Connect the wires according to the wiring diagram provided below. (Fig.8)
Step 3. Receiver to ceiling outlet box Connections: Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE wire marked “AC in N” from the receiver. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked
“AC in L” from the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 8)
Affer all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

NOTE: This integrated light kit is capable of color changing light of 3000,4000 and 5000k. Your DC brushless motor is equipped with a self learning frequency function remote control. Restore power to ceiling fan and test the transmitter as below for proper operation: ( Fig.17 )

A. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 button:
These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows:
1 = minimum speed □ 2 = low speed
3 = medium low speed
4 = medium speed
5 = medium high speed
6 = high speed
B. Reverse button:
This button is used to change the direction of the rotation of the blades;
Counter clockwise for summer weather operation or clockwise for
winter weather operation
C. button:
This button turns the power Off to the Fan.
D. Top Button:
This button to select the desired color temperature.
NOTE: To change the color temperature of the light press the button once to cycle between the light temperature.The light must be powered on.
E . Bottom Button:
This button turns the light ON or OFF and also control the brightness settings of the light.Press and release the button for the desired light to turn the light ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set the desired light brightness.The light will cycle between bright and dim settings as long as the button is pressed. The light key has an automatic auto-resume feature that allows the light to remain at the same brightness as the last time it was turned off.

PAIRING PROCESS

| NOTE: The pairing function will only mandate within 30 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON.
---|---

• Select desired frequency from the back of transmitter.
• Press the transmitter’s ” ” button, and hold the ” ” button for over 5 seconds. Once the receiver has detected the frequency, the fan will automatically begin to operate and start to run for 10 seconds. If a light kit is installed, the light will blink two times.

NOTE: During self calibration test, the remote will be non-function.
NOTE: The learning frequency function and self calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.

1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will get locked and disconnect power for 30 seconds if interruption occurs. Please remove obstacles before re-setting.
2. Over 40W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 40W, the receiver’s power will stop and operation will be immediately discontinued. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.
3. “DIMMER” and “ON/OFF” dip switch: The “DIMMER” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “ON/OFF” selection is For CFL bulbs.

Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.

NOTE: to change the direction of the rotation of the blades the fan must be in operation mode.

Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 18 . This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 19 . This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.

1. Because of the fan’s natural movement some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION: many common household cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

WARNING!
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO
THE SECTION, “ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Check to make sure the wall switch is turned on.
• Check circuit fuses or breakers.
• Caution! Make sure the power is turned off before performing the following steps.
• Remove canopy and check wire connections.
• Check wall control transmitter connections (if applicable).
• Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the transmitting unit and the fan’s receiving unit.

Fan Sounds Noisy|

• Allow a 24-hour “break in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan will go away during this time.
• Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade holder to the motor hub is tight.
• Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
• Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.

Fan Wobble|

• NOTE: All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because wood and plastic blades vary in density, the fan may wobble even though blades are matched.
• Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
• Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
• If a Balancing kit is provided follow the instructions included with the balancing kit to help correct any excessive wobble.

Fans/Light Turn On and Off Unexpectedly|

• This is caused by interference, Please see “Frequency interference” for steps to change the frequency.

Frequency Interference|

• Turn the power off to your ceiling fan.
• Please use a small size tool to change the frequency settings on the control system.
• Returm power to the unit.
• Note: After the AC power is on, do not press any other button on the transmitter before pressing the ” ” button, doing so will cause the procedure to fail. Within 30 seconds of turning the fan’s AC power ON. Press the transmitter’s ” ” button and hold the ” ” button for 1 0 seconds.
• Once the receiver has detected the set frequency, the down light of your fan will blink twice and the fan will begin to rotate for a short period and then shut off.
• The receiver has now learn the frequency which has been selected on the transmitter. After completing the steps above, you should be able to operate the ceiling fan and light. If the fan is not responding to the transmitter. please turn the power off to the receiver, and repeat the process.
