Wiring the Ceiling Fan Remote Control Module
Hugger Type Remote Control Ceiling Fans.
Hugger ceiling fans are most popular because they enable ceiling fan to be installed in low ceiling locations and maintain the safe clearance level of at least 7 feet to the ceiling fan blades.
Even with the close proximity to the ceiling, the hugger ceiling fan will provide good air flow and ventilation which can help reduce energy bills, weather the season is hot or cold with the help of the remote control ceiling fan functions.
Electrical Wiring for a Remote Control Ceiling Fan - Part 3Step By Step Installation for remote control ceiling fans with the hugger style enclosure. |

This remote control ceiling fan switch will replace the existing light switch. Notice that the Dip Switches can be accessed through an opening on the side of this remote switch. |
 |
This photo shows the contents that came with this remote control kit which can be installed with a new ceiling fan or added to an existing ceiling fan that does not already have remote control capabilities. |
 |
This Hugger type of ceiling fan has a different style of mounting bracket which needs to be examined to determine the right area to install the ceiling fan remote control module. |
 |
The mounting bracket is installed onto an approved ceiling fan box which was previously installed. Notice that the electrical wiring is brought out on one side where the control module will be installed. This keeps the center area open for the ceiling fan assembly to be mounted in place. |
 |
The ceiling fan assembly has hardware that securely locks the stem of the ceiling fan into place. |
 |
The ceiling fan module has been wired and is now attached to the bracket using zip-ties which also holds the wires and connectors in place so they do not interfere when the fan motor housing is installed. |
 |
This hugger ceiling fan is now ready to have the fan blades installed and then the light fixture. |

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.
