WARNING: *SAFETY-OFF SWITCH
May result in serious injury or death. The rocker on the
device may have been congured to operate another fan
other than the one switched off by the Safety Off. Before
replacing the fan, verify that the wires to the fan do not have power by
turning the fan ON. If the fan turns off when the Safety Off is activated,
it is safe to replace the fan.
SETUP AND COMMUNICATION
After installation, the Ceiling Fan Controller will immediately allow the
lamp to function. To control the fan wirelessly, it will need to be added to
the free@home network. Detailed information about setup is available
in the technical reference manual and the online help for the System
Access Point at www.abb.com/us/freeathome.
1. To complete setup, you will need the ABB-free@home System
Access Point (SysAP) and a computer (tablet, laptop, or desktop
computer).
2. Walls, ceilings, and electrical equipment can affect wireless
communication, especially steel reinforcements or other large metal
objects. Electrical devices that send high-frequency signals (such
as computers, wireless routers, audio systems, and video systems)
should be at least 3-feet from this device.
3. When rst powered, the device is in discovery mode for 30 minutes.
This time period allows the SysAP to see and connect to the device.
During this time, the user can login to the SysAP and add the device
to the free@home network.
4. After 30 minutes, the device will automatically exit discovery mode.
To re-enter discovery mode, the user must turn the power OFF and
back ON again. This will place the device in discovery mode for
another 30 minutes.
5. Once a device has been added to a network, it will no longer enter
discovery mode at power-up. To add the device to a new network,
the user must rst force the device to forget its existing network
by resetting it back to factory settings. This takes two people to do
safely.
Follow these steps to reset:
A) Turn the power OFF at the circuit breaker.
B) Turn the power ON at the circuit breaker while pressing the
bottom half of the rocker for at least 15 seconds, until the LED
light stops ashing.
C) Return to steps 3-4 of SETUP AND COMMUNICATION to
connect the device to a new network.
Codes
Install according to national and local electrical codes.
Grounding
When there is no ground connector in the wall box, the National
Electrical Code (NEC®) allows a control to be installed as a
replacement ONLY IF 1) a non-metal, non-burning faceplate is attached
with non-metal screws, OR 2) the circuit is protected by a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI). When installing a control, be sure to cap or
remove the green wire before screwing the control into the wall box.
Cleaning:
To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth. DO NOT use any chemical
cleaning solutions.
