Install the Ceiling Fan Remote Control
Ceiling Fan Hand Remote and Module.
This page shows the two necessary control modules modules that are used to operate most remote control ceiling fans.
These photos show the actual locations of the dip switches that must be set alike for operation. The hand held remote control has these switches protected in the battery compartment where they are easily accessed.
These switches are very small and if the settings need to be changed it is best to use a tooth pick to make any adjustments. Only one switch needs to be changed for the address to be different
Electrical Wiring for a Remote Control Ceiling Fan - Part 1Step By Step identification of ceiling fan remote control frequency switch locations |

 |
This set of remote controls consists of the white hand held transmitter that sends signals to the black receiver module which gets installed up inside the ceiling fan canopy area. |
 |
Both of these remote control components have a set of four switches that need to have the same settings. The setting determines the frequency that will be used to control the ceiling fan. The hand held remote switches can be accessed by removing the battery. |
 |
This is a close up view of the four switches located in the hand held battery compartment. These switches, also known as Dip Switches, will either be a rocker type switch which are pressed at either end to change the setting or the switch will have a raised area such as shown here. These switches can be pushed back and forth to change the setting. Notice that one side is labeled as ON. This will help identify the orientation of the switches and settings. |
 |
This receiver module has the set of four switches conveniently located for easy adjustment before the installation and wiring takes place. |
 |
Once the setting has been made, install the 9 Volt battery and this part is completed. |
 |
Now the remote control receiver module is ready for installation up at the ceiling fan mounting bracket where it attaches to the approved ceiling fan electrical junction box. |

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!The Non-Contact Electrical TesterThis is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!The Plug-In Outlet TesterThis is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring. It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect Very handy and easy to use.
Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!The Wire Stripper and Wire CutterMy absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires. This handy tool has multiple uses: The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation. The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets.. The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use. |
