2 • Installation Preparation
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 interference
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 communications.
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 interference 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 the one the
receiver is connected to.
• 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, Hunter 42” Low Prole fans, and
Hunter Baseball fans. Not recommended 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 control and thus may vary
from the factory settings due to normal motor variations.
6. For use with Hunter Hanging Systems (excludes Hunter Original) on at
ceilings or angled ceilings with a pitch up to 34°.
7. Not for use in applications where the fan does not have a wall switch.
Any changes or modications to this equipment not expressly
approved by Hunter Fan Company will void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

3 • DIP Switch Settings
BEFORE INSTALLING THE CONTROL:
1. Use the pull chain switch to set the fan speed to the HIGH position before
installation. Do not use the pull chain to change the fan speed after
installation, as damage to your ceiling fan or universal control may result.
The speed of the fan should only be changed by the Hunter control.
2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation. The light
level should only be changed by the Hunter control.
Installation Instructions:
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 transmitters 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. IMPORTANT! If your ceiling fan light kit is using
incandescent bulbs, then slide the CFL / INC switch
to the INC position. If your ceiling fan light kit is using
compact uorescent light bulbs (CFL), then slide the
CFL / INC switch to the CFL position. NOTE: When
the switch is in the CFL position, the dimming feature
is disabled, and you will not be able to dim the light
bulbs. This feature is to protect both your bulbs and
your receiver as CFL bulbs are not able to dim and
will malfunction if dimming is attempted.

4 • Receiver Installation
4. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of making
the electrical connections. Connect receiver to ceiling fan according to the
mounting types shown on the next page. Determine your ceiling fan mounting
type from the images on Pages 5-6. Most installations will be one of these
ve types.
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 shown on Pages 5-6.
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 (Figure 4): Place receiver in canopy. Connect wiring as
shown in Figure 4. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings
(approximately 3–6˝).
Low Prole Style I (Figure 5): Secure receiver to the fan plate
above the motor with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as
shown in Figure 5. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings
(approximately 3–6˝).
Low Prole Style II (Figure 6): Secure receiver to the ceiling mounting
bracket with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown in
Figure 6. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately
3–6˝).
Cable Tie Routing for Low Prole
Fans (Figs.5-6): Insert cable tie through
openings as shown. DO NOT insert the cable
tie through the inside of the receiver. The
cable tie can be placed across the length or
width of the receiver to best match your fan
installation type.

electrical box as needed.
Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy: Connect wiring
as shown in Figure 7. Place receiver inside mounting
bracket. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket
(approximately 3–6˝).
Bracket Hanger: 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 mounting screw. The
bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring
as shown in Figure 8. Extend antenna above the receiver
(approximately 5–8˝).

6. Use the 2 large (orange) wire connectors supplied to connect
the receiver and house wiring, then use the 3 small (blue) wire
connectors supplied to connect the receiver and ceiling fan
wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 9.
7. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it can not
interfere with the ceiling fan motor. Refer to Figure 9. Do not
modify or damage the antenna wire, as control performance
may be reduced. After securing the receiver, antenna,
and wiring, nish hanging the ceiling fan according to its
instructions.

ere is a toggle switch beside the DIP switches on the transmitter. Move
the toggle switch toward the side that reads “CFL” if you are going to
operate the fan with CFL bulbs. Move the switch to the “INC” side if you
are going to use incandescent bulbs.
NOTE: Once the transmitter is installed, any household power switches
connected to the fan will no longer operate the fan.
