Lucci air 210518 Airfusion Radar DC Ceiling Fan

IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Congratulations on purchasing the latest in energy-saving ceiling fans. This Airfusion Radar fan runs on DC (direct current) power which gives it the benefit of being super energy efficient whilst still maintaining high volume air movement 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 50degs. This results in a much cooler motor than a standard AC fan and increases the longevity of the motor.

Regular AC ceiling fans usually come with only 3 speeds, this Airfusion Radar DC fan comes complete with a 6 speed
remote, which gives a 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 ceiling fans are located near each other, you may desire 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 handpiece) are located in the battery compartment of the transmitter. Configuring the DIP switches will allow a unique transmission code assigned to each ceiling fan.
NOTE:  Ensure that you have installed an all-pole disconnection switch in the fixed wiring for each fan, when using the DIP code function.
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 both ceiling fans 1 and 2 via the mains supply to the receiver.
• Slide the cover of the battery compartment of the transmitter to access the DIP switches. This will be transmitter 1.
• Change the position of the DIP switches in the remote transmitter 1, so that it will be different to transmitter 2. Fig. 8
• Install the 12V DC battery in the compartment. Please make sure the polarity of the battery is correct.
• 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 to the receiver of ceiling fan 1.
• Now the transmitter should be paired with the receiver of ceiling fan 1. Turn ON/OFF or change the speed of ceiling fan 1 by the transmitter to check the operation.

Setting DC Ceiling fan 2:

• Turn off both ceiling fans 1 and 2 via the mains supply to the receiver.
• Slide the cover of the battery compartment of the transmitter to access the DIP switches. This will be transmitter 2.
• Change the position of the DIP switches in the remote transmitter 2, so that it will be different to transmitter 1. Fig. 8
• Install the 12V DC battery in the compartment. Please make sure the polarity of the battery is correct.
• 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 to the receiver of ceiling fan 2.
• Now the transmitter should be paired with the receiver of ceiling fan 2. Turn ON/OFF or change the speed of the ceiling fan 2 by the transmitter to check operation.

Note: The pairing of 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

1. FAN SPEED CONTROL BUTTON:
   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 EACH SPEED OR FAN DIRECTION SELECTIONS, AS DC FANS INCORPORATE A SENSOR CONTROL THAT CONTROLS THE POWER TO THE MOTOR.

2. FAN OFF BUTTON:
   Press the button to turn the fan off.

3. REVERSE FUNCTION BUTTON:
   Press the button to activate the reverse running function. The fan must be operating to activate the reverse function.

4. LIGHT CONTROL BUTTON:
   Press the button to turn on/off the light.

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 the receiver

Solution:
If the fan runs at the highest speed continuously, it means the wiring of the installation is correct. When the fan operates on high speed only or fails to operate in reverse function or any other command/s, it is recommended to repair the communication pairing of the remote and receiver. Please follow the steps below:

• A. Remove the battery cover of the remote, check the 434 MHz sticker area, make sure the battery is installed correctly and the red LED light indicator will be flashing, it means the remote function is okay.

• B. Turn off the main supply to the receiver more than 30 seconds and turn on the main supply to the receiver again. Press and hold the SET button of remote for 6 seconds within 60 seconds of turning turn the power to the receiver.

• C. Press the buttons on the remote to run the fan. In general, performing point A, B, and C should repair the remote and receiver, and will allow full control of the fan. If not, please do the next step.

• D. The DIP switches of fans are set up at the factory in all up. And we can change DIP switch at any location in 16 options. (Ex. up-up-down-down).

• E. Please repeat the (A)-(C) steps to check the function.

If the issues still persist after following point (A) to (D) and there is still no control, then please contact the local retailer for a new remote or transmitter.

NOTE:  For your safety, a new receiver must be installed by a licensed electrician.
NOTE:  While repairing the DC ceiling fan remote and receiver is in process, the fan operates at highest speed with REVERSE mode automatically for 90 seconds and then operates with FORWARD mode for 90 seconds. During the paring process, do not press any key on the remote.

CARE & 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/plated finish. Please make sure the fan is not operating when cleaning.
• Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.

WARRANTY SERVICE
The manufacturer warranty covers actual faults that may develop, but NOT minor complaints, e.g. noise from motor run—ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT.
AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND CUSTOMERS – Please refer to the separate WARRANTY STATEMENT. EUROPEAN CUSTOMER – Please contact the retail outlet where the fan was purchased for a warranty service.

WOBBLE

• Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted. If they were, they could generate excessive ceiling vibration and stress on their mountings.
• The movement of a couple of centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest that the fan will fall down.
• Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball joints to allow free movement.
• Please note that not all ceiling fans are the same, even in the same model—some may move more or less than others.

NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
Threaded components working slightly loose or blade carriers even slightly bent due to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.

BUMP IN THE NIGHT

This is the biggest cause for service calls, which are outside the manufacturer’s warranty. If a fan has a fault, it will be noticeable at all times. Naturally, when everything is quiet at night, you will be more inclined to hear small noises, which may not be noticeable at other times. Even slight power fluctuations and mains frequency signals superimposed in your electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal.

FANLIGHT
Except for actual faults in the manufacture, which are extremely rare, FAN LIGHTS AND GLOBES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR FAN WARRANTY. Noises and vibration etc. are often more accentuated when a fan light is fitted. For instance, a fan light glass that has not been tightened or has worked loose can cause a rattle. Again, care and maintenance will reduce this. Glass of all kinds is warranty to the retailers’ door and subject to the retailer checking it on delivery.
