1. SAFETY RULES

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before beginning.

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local electrical
codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.

3. WARNING: Suitable for use with solid­state speed controls.

4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and
lock washers) provided with the outlet box
for mounting to 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, ELECTRIC

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO

OUTLET BOX MARKED "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN

SUPPORT".

8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.

9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.

10. Do not use water or detergents when
cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust
cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
suitable for most cleaning.

11. After marking electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into outlet
box. The wires should be spread apart with
the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box.

12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the fan
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable
for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be CUL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.

5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes
marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".

6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.

7. To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is
running.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,

DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO

REFERRED TO AS FLANGES) DURING

ASSEMBLY OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT

INSERT OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

following instructions. Disconnect the power
by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers

Outlet box

Provide strong
support

Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The outlet box and its
support must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do
not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. (Fig. 3)

To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Fig 4.

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly:

Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom
cover from the canopy by turning the cover
counter clockwise. (Fig. 5)

Step 2. Remove the hanger bracket from the
canopy by loosening the two screws on the
bottom of the hanging bracket. Turn the
canopy counterclockwise and remove. (Fig, 5)

Step 3. Secure the hanger bracket to the
ceiling outlet box using screws and washers
included with your outlet box. (Fig. 6)

Step 4. Remove hanger ball from downrod
assembly by loosening set screws, removing
the cross pin, and sliding ball off rod. (Fig. 7)

Step 5. Loosen the two set screws and
remove the hitch pin and lock pin from the top
coupling of the motor assembly. (Fig. 8)

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(for Canadian Installation ONLY)

An additional safety support is provided to
prevent the fan from falling fan). Place the end
of cable through the loop of ceiling support
cable. Pull as much cable through loop as
possible. Feed end of cable into clamp hole
and fi rmly tighten screw (Fig. 11). Cut off
excess safety cable. Secure the safety cable
to the ceiling joist with screw and washer.

7. MAKE THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock

be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse
or breaker box before wiring.

NOTE: Receiver in controller system features
an automatic learning function. Turn the power
on and press the speed button, the receiver
will automatically search for the frequency
from the control, in approximately 30 seconds.
The control and receiver units included with
your ceiling fan are equipped with 4 code
combinations to prevent possible interference
from or to other remote units. The frequency
switches on your control transmitter have been
preset at the factory. There are no frequency
switches on the receiver, the receiver unit will
automatically scan the frequency from the
control if any changes are made. The
frequency settings should be changed only in
case of interference or if a second or more
ceiling fans with the same type of control
system are installed in the same structure.
(Fig. 12)

1. Connect the fan supply (black) wire to the
black household supply wire as shown in
Figure 13.

necessary until the canopy and canopy cover
are snug. (Fig.14)

Warning: Make sure the "Check Tab" at the
bottom of the hanger bracket is properly
seated in the "Registration Slot" on the side of
the hanger ball before attaching the canopy to
the bracket. Failure to properly seat the
"Check Tab" could damage the electrical wires
when to ceiling fan blade direction is changed
while the fan is running.

13. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Restore power to ceiling fan and test for
proper operation.

A. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 buttons:
These five buttons are used to set the fan
speed as follows:

1= high speed
2= medium high speed
3= medium speed
4= medium low speed
5= low speed

B. button:
This button turns the fan off.

C. The " " and " " button:
The " " button turns the upper light ON
or OFF and also controls the brightness
setting. The " " button turns the bottom light
ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set
the desired brightness. The light key has an
auto-resume, it will stay at the same
brightness as the last time it was turned off.

D. The " " button is used to set the fan
forward or reverse, press the button forward
(for warm weather) or reverse (for cool
weather).

Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size.
Ceiling height, number of fans and so on.

NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this
fan, press the reverse button while the fan is
running.

Warm weather-(Forward) A downward airflow
creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 20.
This allows you to set your air conditioner on a
warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown
in Fig. 21. This allows you to set your heating
unit on a cooler setting without affecting your
comfort.

16. TROUBLESHOOTING

Monarch

TM

12

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Fan wobble.

Solution

1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.

2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

3. Check to make sure the batteries are installed properly, (Positive + side
facing out)

4. Check to make sure the batteries are not dead.

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is tight.

3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.

4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.

5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.

6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).

7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should
not touch the ceiling.

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal.
Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the
blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned
for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be
equal within 1/8".

3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.

4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.

Remote control

1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
