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

equipment, 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 accordance

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-

tions. 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 interfer-

ence 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 1.0 amp or

less, and fan incandescent light kits rated at 300 watts or less.

4. Not for use with shaded-pole motors. Not recommended for use with

the Hunter Original®. For Hunter Original® series fans, use Hunter control

model numbers 27187, 22691, or 27189.

5. This product is intended for use with a single switch. If more than one

switch is being used to control the fixture, consult a qualified electrician

for assistance.

Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by

Hunter Fan Company will void the user’s authority to operate the equip-

ment.

Before Installing the Control:

1. Use the pull-chain switch on the fan to set the fan speed to the HIGH

position before installation.

2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation. The

light setting should only be changed by the Hunter control.

Receiver Installation:

1. Disconnect power to the ceiling fan and light kit at the main electrical

panel. Remove fuse or move circuit breaker to the OFF position.

2. IMPORTANT! Before installing this control, check the factory default

jumper settings on the transmitter and the dip switches on the receiver.

Refer to Figure 1. Be sure the jumper positions of the transmitter and dip

switch positions on the receiver match, or the ceiling fan will not function.

Select different combinations of dip switches and jumpers to prevent mis-

operation due to other remote control fans.

3. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type (Figure 2). Most installa-

tions will be one of these four types: Canopy Hanger, Hunter Hands-Free

TM

Canopy, Low Profile Styles I and II, or Bracket Hanger.

4. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of

making the electrical connections. Connect receiver to ceiling fan accord-

ing to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.

5. If the fan is already installed, turn the power OFF at the main electrical

panel. Reverse the installation procedure according to the fan instructions,

to the point of disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect the receiver to the

ceiling fan according to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.

6. Use the 2 large wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and house

wiring, then use the 3 small wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and

ceiling fan wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 3.

7. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it can not interfere with

the ceiling fan motor. Refer to Figure 2. Do not modify or damage the

antenna wire, as control performance may be reduced. After securing the

receiver, antenna, and wiring, finish hanging the ceiling fan according to

its instructions.

Fan Installation Types:

NOTE: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier

canopy installation, cut the excess wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches

remaining. Restrip the fan lead wires 1/2 inch. Place remaining excess wire

into the ceiling electrical box as needed.

Canopy Hanger (Fig. 2-A): Place receiver in canopy. Connect wiring as

shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate open-

ings (approximately 3–6˝).

Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy (Fig. 2-B): Connect wiring as shown in

Figure 3. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. Extend antenna above

the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6˝).

Low Profile Style I (Fig. 2-C): Secure receiver to the fan plate above the

motor with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown

in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings

(approximately 3–6˝).

Low Profile Style II (Fig. 2-D): Secure receiver to the ceiling mounting

bracket with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown

in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approxi-

mately 3–6˝).

Bracket Hanger (Fig. 2-E): Starting with the antenna wire, slide receiver

inside mounting bracket. If a ground wire mounting screw prevents the

receiver from sliding into the bracket, move ground wire and screw to an

unused hole at the top of the bracket or secure with a canopy mount-

ing screw. The bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring

as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the receiver (approximately

5–8˝).

Cable Tie Routing for Low Profile Fans (Figs. 2-C, 2-D): Insert cable tie

through openings as shown. DO NOT insert the cable

tie through the inside of the receiver. The cable tie

can be placed across the length or width of the

receiver to best match your fan installation type.
