CAUTION
READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY FOR SAFE
INSTALLATION AND FAN OPERATION.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE

Congratulations on purchasing the latest in energy saving ceiling fans. This fan runs on DC (direct current) power which gives it the benefit of being super energy efficient whilst still maintaining high volume airmovement and silent operation.

Energy Saving – The DC motor is the latest technology in fan design. Its highly efficient motor saves up to 65% more energy than ceiling fans with traditional AC motors.
Silent operation – This DC fan motor is programmed with a stabilized current which efficiently reduces motor noise.
Low operating temperature – The DC power is managed effectively which brings down the motor operating temperature to less than 50℃. This results in a much cooler motor than a standard AC fan and increases the longevity of the motor.
6 speed remote control – Regular AC ceiling fans usually come with only 3 speeds, this DC fan comes complete with a 6 speed remote, which gives greater choice of comfort levels.

USING YOUR CEILING FAN

Pairing Transmitter and Receiver – when 2 or more DC ceiling fans are installed in one location

When two or more fans are located near each other, you may want to have the receiver/transmitter for each fan set to a different code, so that the operation of one fan does not affect the operation of the other fan/s.
The DIP switches for the transmitter (remote hand piece) are located in the battery compartment of the transmitter. Configuring the DIP switches will allow a unique transmission code assigned to each fan ceiling.
NOTE: Ensure that you have installed a single pole disconnection switch in the fixed wiring for each fan.
NOTE: Ensure power to the receiver is ON prior to pairing the transmitter with the receiver.

Transmitter / Receiver pairing for Ceiling fan 1:

Turn OFF the mains supply to the receivers of both ceiling fans 1 and 2.
Install the 12V DC battery in the compartment. Please make sure the polarity of the battery is correct. Fig.11
Change the position of the DIP switches in the transmitter 1, so that it will be different to transmitter 2.
Turn on the power to receiver 1. Keep the power OFF to receiver 2. (Each ceiling fan must have its own isolation switch, so that only the ceiling fan that needs to be paired with the transmitter will be ON).
Press and hold the “SET” button of transmitter 1 for 6 seconds within 60 seconds of switching the power ON to the receiver of ceiling fan 1.
While pairing the DC fan remote and receiver is in process, the fan will automatically start to rotate in the counterclockwise direction and on the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counterclockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to clockwise direction to the highest RPM for 3 minutes. Fan will turn off when the pairing process has finished. During the pairing process, the remote is non-functional.
Turn ON and change the speed of the ceiling fan 1 by the transmitter 1 to check the operation and successful pairing.

Transmitter / Receiver pairing for Ceiling fan 2:

Turn off the mains supply to the receivers of both ceiling fans 1 and 2.
Install the 12V DC battery in the compartment. Please make sure the polarity of the battery is correct . Fig.11
Change the position of the DIP switches in the transmitter 2, so that it will be different to transmitter 1.
Turn on the power to receiver 2. Keep the power OFF to receiver 1. (Each ceiling fan must have its own isolation switch, so that only the ceiling fan that needs to be paired with the transmitter will be ON).
Press and hold the “SET” button of transmitter 2 for 6 seconds within 60 seconds of switching the power ON to the receiver of ceiling fan 2.
While pairing the DC fan remote and receiver is in process, the fan will automatically start to rotate in the counterclockwise direction and on the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counterclockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to clockwise direction again to the highest RPM for 3 minutes.
Fan will turn off when the pairing process has finished. During the pairing process, the remote is nonfunctional.
Turn ON and change the speed of ceiling fan 2 by the transmitter 2 to check the operation and successful pairing.

Note: The pairing of the transmitter and receiver is not required if only one ceiling fan is installed.
When more than two ceiling fans are installed near each other, please refer to the instruction above.

Remote Control Buttons

A – FAN SPEED CONTROL BUTTONS:
There are 6 available speeds. “I” button is for the lowest speed, and “VI” button is for the fastest speed.
NOTE: when you turn on the fan for the first time or switch the main power to the controller, you need to start the fan on high “VI” speed first and then choose a lower speed. A 5-10 seconds is required to allow the DC fan to respond to the remote for each speed or fan direction selections.
B – FAN OFF BUTTON:
Press the button to turn the fan OFF.
C – REVERSE FUNCTION BUTTON:
Press the button to activate the reverse running function. The fan must be operating to activate the reverse function.

E – D / ON SWITCH
This switch marked D/ON controls the dimming function of the lights. If using non-dimmable bulbs, use a ballpoint pen or small screwdriver to set the switch to “D” to disable the dimming function. If using dimmable halogen bulbs, set the switch to “ON” to enable the dimming function. Fig. 13

THE RECEIVER PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING LEVEL OF PROTECTION:

Lock position: the receiver has a built in safety feature to protect against obstruction during operation.
The motor will be locked from operation and will disconnect from power after 30 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles before re-starting. To reset, simply turn off the power supply to the fan motor and re-start.
Over 80W protection: when the receiver detects power consumption which is greater than 80W, the receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds to restart the fan.

REPAIRING THE FAN RECEIVER & REMOTE PAIRING

Should the remote and receiver lose control after installation or during use, the pairing of the remote and the receiver must be repaired. Below are the operating symptoms and method to repair the pairing of the DC ceiling fan remote and receiver.
Issues:

Loss of control – Fan is only running at high speed after installation
Loss of control – No reverse function after installation
Loss of control – Remote cannot communicate with receiver

Solution:

Ab. Switch OFF the main power to the ceiling fan for 30 seconds.
B. Press and hold the “SET” button on remote for 6 seconds within 60 seconds of switching the power ON to the receiver of the ceiling fan.
While pairing the DC fan remote and receiver is in process, the fan will automatically start to rotate in the counterclockwise direction and on the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counterclockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to clockwise direction again to the highest RPM for 3 minutes.
Fan will turn off when the pairing process has finished. During the pairing process, the remote is nonfunctional.
C. Turn ON and change the speed of the ceiling fan via the transmitter to check the operation and successful pairing

INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER HOLDER

Remove the cover (A) from the holder (B). Install the holder (B) with the two screws provided (C).
Replace the cover (A) into holder (B). Fig. 14

AFTER INSTALLATION

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 excessive 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 fix the mounting bracket are secure.

NOTE: This fan has been precision balanced at the factory and will not need to be balanced again.

NOISE:
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. Slight power fluctuations and frequency signals superimposed in the electricity for off-peak hot water control, may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time. All electric motors are audible to some extent. Please note that this is not a product fault, and as such is not covered under warranty.

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 turn off electricity power when you do so.
Do not immerse your ceiling fan in the water. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
Ensure that the fitting does not come in contact with any organic solvents or cleaners.
To clean the fan blade, wipe with only a damp clean cloth with NO organic solvents or cleaners.
The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing so there is no need to oil.
NOTE: Always turn OFF the power at the mains switch before attempting to clean your fan.
