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 equip-
ment, 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 accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. 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 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 2.0 amps or
less, and fan incandescent light kits rated at 300 watts or less.
4. Not for use with shaded-pole or non-reversible motors.
5. Medium and Low fan speeds are determined by the Original ® control
and thus may vary from the factory settings due to normal motor variations.
Before Installing the Original ® Control:
1. Confirm that your Hunter Original ® ceiling fan is electrically reversible.
Look for a reversing switch on the switch housing below the motor. Refer
to Figure 1.
2. 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 control may result. The
speed of the fan should only be changed by the Original
® control.
3. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation. The
light level should only be changed by the Original
® control.
Receiver Installation:
1. Disconnect power to the ceiling fan and light kit at the main electric
panel. Remove fuse or move circuit breaker to the OFF position.
2. IMPORTANT! Before installing this control, change the factory default
dip switch settings to your own unique code. Refer to Figure 2. 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, garage door openers, etc.
3. This Original ® remote control mounts between the ceiling and fan
hanger bracket. Therefore, if the fan is already installed, it will need to be
taken down.
4. Wire the power leads coming from the ceiling outlet box. Connect the
main wires from the
top of the control – white to white, and black to
black. See Figure 3. Push the wires up into the outlet box and arrange the
wire connectors to point upward. Separate the wires so that the black
wires are on one side of the box and the white wires are on the other.
5. Bring the control up to the ceiling. Feed the bare copper ground wire
down through the center hole of the control. Use the lag screws (includ-
ed) to hold the control and and the fan mounting bracket in place. See
Figure 4.
6. Mount the fan to the fan hanger. Connect the white wire from the con-
trol to the fan white wire and the black wire to the black. Connect the
bare copper wire to the green ground wire from the fan. Connect the red
wire from the control to the fan through-wire that goes directly to the
light kit. See Figure 5. Push the connections up through the center hole
into the ceiling outlet box.
7. Complete the installation of the fan by following the instructions sup-
plied with the fan.
8. Restore power at main electrical panel.
Wall Control Installation:
1. Remove rocker style wallplate (not included) to expose the wall wiring.
Disconnect the existing switch and remove from the electrical box.
2. If 4 wires are visible, connect each black wire to an Original ® control
black black wire. If 2 wires are visible, connect each to an Original ®
control lead. Use 2 of the large wire nuts supplied to make the connec-
tions. Refer to Figure 4.
3. If a ground wire is provided in your electrical box, attach it to the
ground screw near the bottom of the mounting plate.
4. Gently push wires and wall control into the electrical box. Attach the
Original
® control to the switch box with the two screws provided.
5. Verify that the master switch is in the OFF Position. Press inward on
each side of the wall control to remove face cover. Set the dip switches to
match the dip switches in the receiver. Install a 12 volt battery (A23,
MN21, or equivalent). Replace the face cover.
Operation:
1. Slide the master switch to the ON position. After a 1.5 second delay, the
light will turn ON at maximum brightness.
2. Light Operation:
• Press and quickly release the light button on the wall mounted control
to turn the light OFF or ON. (Light will come ON at maximum brightness.)
• Press and hold the light button for more than 1 second to turn the light
ON and decrease from maximum brightness to OFF.
• Release the light button when the desired light level is reached.
• Continue to hold the light button to repeat the cycle. (Maximum–light
level decrease–OFF)
• While the light is ON, holding the light button will decrease the light
brightness.
• Turning the light OFF resets the dimming function. The next press of the
light button will start at maximum brightness.
3. Fan Operation:
• Press the High, Medium, or Low speed buttons to turn the ceiling fan
ON at the desired speed.
• Press the fan OFF key to turn the ceiling fan OFF.
For best fan operation: Allow the ceiling fan motor to start on High, then
select the desired speed.
4. Manual Light Switch Operation:
To turn the lights ON without battery power to the wall control turn OFF
the wall switch for 5 seconds, then turn the master switch back ON. The
light will turn ON at maximum brightness, and the fan will be OFF.
5. For everyday operation, leave the master switch ON. However, if the
control will not be used for an extended period of time (5 days or more),
turn the master switch OFF.
