Safety Instructions

WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow all instructions carefully.

  1. Read your Owner’s Manual carefully before installing the Wall Control. Retain Owner’s Manual for future reference.
  2. Before servicing or cleaning the ceiling fan, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device such as a tag, to the service panel.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

  1. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before wiring.
  2. Make certain no bare wires are exposed outside the wire connectors.
  3. All wiring must conform to National and Local Electrical Codes.
  4. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your new Wall
    Control. If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your Wall Control installed by a licensed electrician. Any electrical work not described in this manual should be performed by a licensed electrician.

General

Your Emerson Ceiling Fan/Light Wall Control consists of a wall mount transmitter and a receiver which is mounted under the fan ceiling cover. The wall control is designed to separately control your ceiling fan speed and light intensity.
Code switches in the wall control 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 wall units such as garage door openers, car alarms or security systems. To remedy this situation, simply change the combination code in your wall control and receiver. (See Figure 1.)

Setting Operating Frequency of Wall Control (Figure 1)
Your wall control has code switches which 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. Change the switch settings as follows:

  1. Slide the five switch levers in the wall control 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.
  2. When the power is restored after installation, push and hold the fan off button ( ) for 3 to 5 seconds to set the code in the receiver.
  3. The sixth switch marked ON and I is for dimming control of lights: Set switch to ON to allow for dimming of the lights. Set switch to I for no dimming of the lights such as for fluorescent bulbs. ON – Dim: Incandescent and Halogen Bulbs I – No Dim: Fluoescent and LED Bulbs
