WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these
instructions.
Safety Instructions
1. Read your owner’s manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, 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.
3. Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the
fan. Always turn off the power to the ceiling fan before servicing.
4. Do not put anything into the fan blades while they are turning.
5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.
Additional Safety Instructions for Installation
1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before
wiring, and do not operate fan without blades.
2. The installation is to be in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and Local Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical
Code if Local Codes do not exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical installation should be
made or approved by a licensed electrician.
3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and capable of reliably
supporting at least 50 pounds. Use only U.L. outlet boxes listed as
“Acceptable for Fan Support”, and use the mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are
not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
4. The longer downrod furnished with the fan provides the minimum
recommended floor to fan blade clearance for a 9 foot ceiling. The shorter
downrod must be used for an 8 foot ceiling.
5. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to
prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
6. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your
ceiling fan. If you do not know enough about electrical wiring, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
NOTE: This fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.

General
Your Emerson ceiling fan comes equipped
with a remote control transmitter and a
remote control receiver. This remote control systems is designed to control your
ceiling fan speed, airflow direction, and
light intensity.
NOTE: An optional SW115 Wall Control
(not supplied) may also be used with
the remote control receiver supplied
with your ceiling fan.
IMPORTANT
This Owner’s Manual is divided into
two sections. The first section,
REMOTE CONTROL PROCEDURES,
describes how to install the four alkaline batteries (not supplied) in the
remote control transmitter, and how to
set the operating frequency of the
transmitter and receiver. These instructions must be performed prior to the
installation of the ceiling fan as
described in the second section,
CEILING FAN PROCEDURES.
REMOTE CONTROL
PROCEDURES
General
The remote control system is designed to
separately control your ceiling fan and
light intensity. There are four push buttons
on the transmitter (HIGH, MED, LOW,
OFF) to set the fan speed and turn the fan
off. The REV push button changes the airflow direction of the fan blades. The UP
(uplight) and DN (downlight) push buttons
turn the lights on and off and controls the
light intensities. The red indicator light will
illuminate while any button is pressed,
indicating that the battery is good.
Preset Memory Feature
Your remote control receiver is equipped
with a preset memory feature. The receiver will remember the light intensity and fan
speed when the light and fan are turned off
from the wall switch. When the wall switch
is turned back on, the lights and fan will
resume operation as they were prior to the
switch being turned off.
Installation of Battery
1. Remove the battery cover and install
four AAA alkaline batteries (not supplied), oriented as shown in the
diagram in the battery compartment.
(Figure 1).

Setting Operating
Frequency of Transmitter
and Receiver
Your remote control transmitter and
receiver have code switches which must
be set on one of 16 possible code combinations. The four levers (numbered 1, 2, 3,
and 4) on the switches are factory-set in
the ON (up) position. Do not use this
setting. Change the switch settings as
follows:
1. On the remote control transmitter,
locate the code switch just above the
battery compartment (Figure 1).

3. In the receiver (Figure 1), slide the four
switch levers to the same positions as
set in the transmitter. Make sure the
levers on both switches are in the same
positions, otherwise the fan will not
operate.
4. Position the battery in the transmitter
battery compartment and replace the
battery cover.
CEILING FAN
PROCEDURES
Electrical Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC,
60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
The outlet box must be securely anchored
and capable of withstanding a load of at
least 50 pounds.
5
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or personal injury, mount fan
to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support”, and use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for support of
light fixtures are not acceptable for
fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
!
WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical
shock, be sure electricity is turned off
at the main fuse or circuit breaker
box before wiring. All wiring must be
in accordance with National and Local
codes and the ceiling fan must be
properly grounded as a precaution
against possible electrical shock.
!
WARNING
How to Assemble Your
Ceiling Fan
1. Place the motor housing assembly on a
flat surface with the top of the motor
facing upwards. Place the upper glass
over the motor housing assembly,
aligning the slots in the upper glass
with the mounting holes in the housing
flange (Figure 2). Install three 8-32 x
15mm screws, flat washers, and rubber
washers (supplied) to secure the
assembly.
2. Place the motor housing/upper glass
assembly onto the lower foam pad with
the bottom of the motor facing you. The
lower pad serves as a holder for the fan
during the first stages of assembly.
3. Mount the fan blades to the blade
flanges using three 10-24 x 9mm truss
head screws and three fiber washers
(supplied) (Figure 3).
Figure 2
To avoid possible fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions carefully.
Any electrical work not described in
these instructions should be done or
approved by a licensed electrician.
!
WARNING
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling
light fixture, turn electricity off at the main
fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.
