Caution: Risk of Electrical Shock!
All wiring must be performed in accordance with national
and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with the
wiring codes, you should use a qualified electrician.
To avoid overheating and possible damage to other
equipment, do not install to control a receptacle,
fluorescent light fixture, motor operated appliance, or
transformer-supplied appliance. Use only to control one
paddle-blade ceiling fan and incandescent light fixture.
Notes:
1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
3. For use only with electrically reversible ceiling fans
rated at 1.0 amp or less, and fan incandescent light kits
rated at 300 watts or less.
4. Not for use with shaded-pole motors. Not recom-
mended for use with the Hunter Original®. For Hunter
Original® series fans, use Hunter control model numbers
27187, 22691, or 27189.
5. Medium and Low fan speeds are determined by the
fan pull chain switch and thus may vary from the factory
settings due to normal motor variations.
6. This product is intended for use with a single switch.
If more than one switch is being used to control the
fixture, consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
Any changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company will void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Before Installing the Control:
1. Use the pull-chain switch on the fan to set the fan speed to the HIGH
position before installation.
2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation. The
light setting should only be changed by the Hunter control.
Receiver Installation:
1. Disconnect power to the ceiling fan and light kit at the main electrical
panel. Remove fuse or move circuit breaker to the OFF position.
2. IMPORTANT! Before installing this control, check the factory default dip
switch settings. Refer to Figure 1. Be sure the dip switch positions of the
transmitter and receiver match, or the ceiling fan will not function. Select
different combinations of dip switches to prevent mis-operation due to
other remote control fans.
3. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type (Figure 2). Most installa-
tions will be one of these four types: Canopy Hanger, Hunter Hands-FreeTM
Canopy, Low Profile Styles I and II, or Bracket Hanger.
4. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of
making the electrical connections. Connect receiver to ceiling fan accord-
ing to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.
5. If the fan is already installed, turn the power OFF at the main electrical
panel. Reverse the installation procedure according to the fan instructions,
to the point of disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect the receiver to the
ceiling fan according to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.
6. Use the 2 large wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and house
wiring, then use the 3 small wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and
ceiling fan wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 3.
7. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it can not interfere with
the ceiling fan motor. Refer to Figure 2. Do not modify or damage the
antenna wire, as control performance may be reduced. After securing the
receiver, antenna, and wiring, finish hanging the ceiling fan according to
its instructions.
Fan Installation Types:
NOTE: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier
canopy installation, cut the excess wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches
remaining. Restrip the fan lead wires 1/2 inch. Place remaining excess wire
into the ceiling electrical box as needed.
Canopy Hanger (Fig. 2-A): Place receiver in canopy. Connect wiring as
shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate open-
ings (approximately 3–6˝).
Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy (Fig. 2-B): Connect wiring as shown in
Figure 3. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. Extend antenna above
the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6˝).
Bracket Hanger (Fig. 2-C): Starting with the antenna wire, slide receiver
inside mounting bracket. If a ground wire mounting screw prevents the
receiver from sliding into the bracket, move ground wire and screw to an
unused hole at the top of the bracket or secure with a canopy mount-
ing screw. The bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring
as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the receiver (approximately
5–8˝).
1. Light Operation:
• Press and quickly release the ON or OFF button on the remote control to turn the light OFF or ON. (Light will come ON at maximum brightness.)
2. Fan Operation:
• Press and quickly release the ON or OFF button on the remote control to turn the fan OFF or ON.
