4. MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian

Installation) listed mounting box, then read the

following instructions. Disconnect the power

by removing fuses or turning off circuit

breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building

structure. Use appropriate fasteners and

building materials. The outlet box and its

support must be able to fully support the

moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do

not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different

ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a

sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a

longer downrod to maintain proper clearance

between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A

minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for

optimal operation.

NOTE: Depending on the location you have

selected for installation, you may need to

purchase and install a "Joist Hanger" for the

support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist

hanger you purchase has been designed for

use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical

shock, be sure you have turned off the power

at the main circuit panel.

Follow the steps below to connect the fan to

your household wiring. Use the wire

connecting nuts suppled with your fan.

Secure the connectors with electrical tape.

Make sure there are no loose wire strands or

connections.

NOTE: The CoolTouch™ Control System is

equipped with 16 possible frequency

combinations to prevent interference from or

with other remote control units. The frequency

switches on your receiver and transmitter

have been preset at the factory. Please

recheck to make sure the switches on

transmitter and receiver are set to the same

position, any combination of settings will

operate the fan as long as the transmitter and

receiver are set to the same position. (Fig. 12)

Step 1. Insert the receiver in the ceiling

mounting bracket with the at side of the

receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 13) For best

performance, make sure the Black Antenna,

on the end of the receiver, remains extended

and not tangled with any of the electrical

wires.

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(required for Canadian installation ONLY)

A safety support cable is provided to help

prevent the ceiling fan from falling.

Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and

washers to the ceiling joist next to the

mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 11)

Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable

to reach the screw and washers by pulling the

extra cable through the cable clamp until the

overall length is correct, put the end of the

cable back through the cable clamp, forming

a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the

cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the

end of the safety cable over the wood screw

and under the washer. Tighten the wood

screw securely.

NOTE: Although the safety support cable is

required for Canadian installations only. It's a

good idea to make the attachment with any

installation.

necessary until the canopy and canopy cover

are snug. (Fig. 15)

Step 2. (Fig. 14) Motor to Receiver Electrical

Connections: Connect the black wire from the

fan to black wire marked "TO MOTOR L".

Connect the white wire from the fan to the

white wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the

receiver. Connect the blue wire from the fan to

the blue wire marked "For Light" from the

receiver. Secure the wire connections with the

plastic wire nuts provided.

Step 3. (Fig. 14) Receiver to House Supply

Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the

black (hot) wire from the ceiling to the black

wire marked "AC in L" from the receiver.

Connect the white(neutral) wire from the ceiling

to the white wire marked "AC in N" from the

Receiver. Secure the wire connections with the

plastic wire nuts provided.

Step 4. (Fig. 14) If your outlet box has a ground

wire (green or bare copper) connect it to the fan

ground wires; otherwise connect the hanging

bracket ground wire to the mounting bracket.

Secure the wire connection with a plastic nut

provided. After connecting the wires, spread

them apart so that the green and white wires

are on one side of the outlet box and black and

blue wires are on the other side. Carefully tuck

the wire connections up into the outlet box.

Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum

distance of 30 feet from the CoolTouch™
