Summary:
Ceiling fan remote controls can be extremely useful, especially when it comes to controlling the lighting separately from the fan speed. |
How to Install and Wire a Remote Control for a Ceiling Fan
When using a remote control, operate the ceiling fan using the pull chains and make sure the fan speed is on the high-speed setting and the lights are full on. The pull chains will over ride the remote control operations.
You could get confused if you turn the ceiling fan or light "off" using the pull chain and wonder why the wall switch does not operate the ceiling fan or light. My suggestion is to remove the longer extensions of the pull chains when using remote control units.

The ceiling fan remote control Code Settings at the hand held transmitter remote control and the ceiling fan receiver module must be the same for operation. Multiple fans can be controlled by one remote control. Ceiling Fans in separate rooms must have different codes. Labeling the hand held remotes will avoid confusion. Don't forget to install a 9 volt battery as required for most units. |
