Troubleshooting Tips for Installers – Fan

Fan will not start

• Check 240Volts is available at terminal block.
• Check wire connections in the wall switch and terminal blocks, ensure all wires are making proper contact.
• Check isolation switch is ‘on’.

Fan is not responding to the remote control

• Check for flat battery.
• Check handset programmed to receiver (refer to page 10).
• Occasionally there maybe a poor signal (location) received by the handpiece. This can be improved by ensuring the antenna is outside the top canopy (see below Fig.1 & 2).

Fan is wobbling

• Check the ball joint slot is locked into the hanger bracket groove.
• Make sure blades are a matching set; the figures on matching sets of blades should be identical with the numbers varying within 3 grams of each other.
• Check blade screws are tightened firmly.
• DO NOT use a power tool to tighten screws.
• Make sure bracket is tight against ceiling and the ceiling and the ceiling structure are not moving.
• DO NOT use countersunk screws to hold bracket against ceiling. Countersunk screws will make fan wobble (now or later) and allow the bracket to move.

Fan is noisy

• Check all screws and parts are secured firmly. Ensure there are no loose parts moving inside the motor housing.
• Check ceiling bracket is secure. If ceiling canopy moves then the bracket or ceiling is moving and screws loose, not into structure or of counter sunk type.

Troubleshooting Tips for Installers – Light

• Light will not turn on – Make sure lamp has not blown. Check all light wires in the terminal block in the canopy cover and the wall switch have been connected correctly.
• Light flickers or flashes – Re-check wiring. Flickering may be caused by ripple control signals from the power grid.
• Light is not responding to remote control – Make sure lamp has not blown. Check all wires in the terminal block in the canopy cover and the remote receiver have been connected correctly. Check hand piece battery.

Troubleshooting Tips for Installers – Remote Control

• Handset cross programming – One device (remote handpiece or wall controller) must be attached to the receiver at all times. In the event of handpiece cross programming, please program the same handpiece/ wall controller twice to delete irrelevant/ unwanted device.

General Maintenance

Changing Remote Batteries: – Batteries used in Handsets will weaken over time and should be replaced every 6 months. Batteries removed from the handset should be disposed of properly and kept out of reach of children.

• Before maintenance ensure fan is switched off at the isolation switch or circuit breaker *

Cleaning the Motor Housings: – Motor housings should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months to avoid build up of dust. Dust will attract moisture and condensation leading to corrosion. Use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust. Use only water and mild detergent. Spray cleaners may damage coatings.

Cleaning the Blades: – Use a soft damp cloth to remove dirt from blades. Always dry blades after cleaning. Blades should not be left damp or wet as this will damage blade finish or cause corrosion. Use only water and mild detergent. Spray cleaners may damage coatings.
Always use soft cloths to clean blades and motor housings to avoid scratching painted and plated finishes. Ideally your fan should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months.
If removing blades for cleaning then do so for each fan separately, do not mix blades from different fans as this can upset the balance of the fan. Put blades back in the position they came from.

Normal Wear and Tear: – Please note that a ceiling fan travels an enormous distance in the course of its normal operation. Air is abrasive and suspended dust, high humidity and other contamination will cause wear and tear of surfaces.
The use of fans under roofed decks and pergolas next to swimming pools and in coastal areas will require increased maintenance due to the presence of chlorides (either as common air borne salt spray or from compounds in pool chemicals).
The temperatures attained in the peak of a pitched deck or veranda roof can easily exceed 60-70°C and especially when coupled with chlorides this will increase maintenance requirements. Even indoors in coastal areas the influx of warm, sea air can accelerate the surface corrosion of metal parts. This can still happen a great many kilometres from the sea.

When humidity is high and temperature drops moisture condenses on metal surfaces including ceiling fans. The layer of moisture can be almost microscopic but it will affect the  surface by depositing a tiny layer of dissolved salts or airborne acidic compounds and thus  eventually leading to corrosion if the product is not properly and regularly cleaned. This  applies equally to indoor and outdoor fans.
Some colour discoloration on ABS polymer body and blade will occur over time.
LACK OF MAINTENANCE LEADING TO SURFACE CORROSION OR SIMILAR DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

FORWARD (Summer) and REVERSE (Winter) Modes Explained

FORWARD (Summer) Mode
Ceiling fans are an environmentally smart choice to assist with cooling and warming your home.
In FORWARD (Summer) mode your ceiling fan will spin to push air down the centre of the fan producing a cooling breeze.
The direction the fan will spin in FORWARD (Summer) when viewed from underneath will be anti-clockwise.

REVERSE (Winter) Mode
In REVERSE (Winter) mode your ceiling fan will spin the opposite direction. Air is drawn up the centre of the fan, and pushed along the ceiling to circulate down to the living areas.
The REVERSE (Winter) mode can also be for air circulation in a poorly ventilated rooms.
The direction the fan will spin in REVERSE (Winter) when viewed from underneath will be clockwise.
