CRAFTMADE TER52 Fan Installation Guide

CRAFTMADE TER52 Fan

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
  CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.

• Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.

• Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.

• The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL in Canada or ETL in USA listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
  WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less,” and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
  WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

• Electrical diagrams are for reference only.

• After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.

• After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
  The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
  WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the fan, including the blades.
  WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]

Testing Your Fan

It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing installation. Restore power from circuit box and light switch (if applicable). Test fan speeds with the pull chain located to the right of reverse switch. Start at the OFF position (no blade movement). First pull will set the fan to HI. Second pull will set the fan to MEDIUM. Third pull will set the fan to LOW. Fourth pull will again set the fan to the OFF setting. Test light with the pull chain located to the left of reverse switch. (diagram 1). If fan and/or light do (does) not function, please refer to “Troubleshooting” section to solve any issues before contacting Customer Service.
Turn fan completely off before moving the reverse switch (located on the light kit). Set reverse switch to recirculate air depending on the season:

• LEFT position in summer (diagram 2)
• RIGHT position in winter (diagram 3)

A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.
IMPORTANT: Reverse switch must be set either completely LEFT or completely RIGHT for fanto function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position (diagram 4), fan will not operate.
Attach pull chain extensions supplied or custom pull chain extensions (sold separately) to ends of the pull chains.
