PERATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:

1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.

2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.

3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades should be at least 7 feet from floor.

4. When mounting on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as "suitable for fan support" box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan's listed weight. The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by qualified personnel.

5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan blade sets,

6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the "HOT" wires on the other side.

7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should be installed per the light kit's installation instructions.

8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling and/or causing damage or injury.

9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.

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

PERATING YOUR TRANSMITTER

Your DC brushless motor is equipped with a automatically learned type remote control. Restore power to ceiling fan and test the transmitter as below for proper operation:

Install one 23A/12V battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used for long periods of time (Fig. 10)

A. I, II, III, IV, V and VI button: These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows: I = minimum speed II = low speed III = medium low speed IV = medium speed V = medium high speed VI = high speed

B. button: This button turns the fan off.

C. Reverse button: This button is to control fan direction

D. Light button This button is to control light. Switch the “D” and “ON” dip switch on the back of transmitter to decide the light in “ON/OFF” or “Dimmable” condition.

E. SET code setting button: Follow the below steps to use the SET button

Step 1 Turn on the AC power for the controller after finishing the fan installation.

Step 2 Turn fan power on, press and hold SET button on the back of transmitter

for 5 seconds within 60 seconds, the transmitter learning is completed after the light flashes twice.

Step 3 Speed setting: After setting the transmitter learning, press the highest speed for setting the rotational speed. It will be down around 120 seconds.

Step 4 Same as step 3, reverse and press the highest speed, it will be down around 120 seconds. NOTE: If you want to change the blades: turn the power off change the blades turn the power onreplay the step 2,3,4.

F. “D” and “ON” dip switch:

The “ON” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “D” selection is the light on only (no dimming function) and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL bulbs cannot be dimmed properly.

The receiver provides the following protective function:

1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction

during operation. The motor will be locked operation and disconnect power after 30 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles before re-set.

Fig. 10

2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor 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.

Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.

NOTE:

Warm Weather (forward): A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 12. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool Weather (Reverse): An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 13. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

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

CAUTION:

ARE AND

Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges.

When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

CAUTION:

1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan housing

wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between. Confirm remote control/receiver is operating (refer to P.6)

2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the

screws securing blade arms to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb(s) are well held in the sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.

3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secure to

the motor. Check to make sure that light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades are fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip. If measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to blade arm one at a time and adjust blade(s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation. Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when viewed edge on. Most wobble can be traced to a loose electrical box or mounting bracket. Make sure these are tight and the ball is completely seated in the bracket.

Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.
