Westinghouse 77870 - Manual

WARNINGS:

• To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow all

instructions carefully. Read and save these instructions for

future reference.

• Do not install or use this unit if any part is damaged or miss-

ing.

•

IMPORTANT!

Fan installation must be complete, including the

assembly of blades, before testing the remote control unit.

NOTICE:

1. This control is designed to operate only one ceiling fan with an

incandescent light kit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

2. This wall control is rated for a maximum (ceiling fan only) motor amp

of 1.0 at 120 volts, total (incandescent bulb only) wattage equaling 240

watt maximum.

3. Do not use with solid state ceiling fans.

4. The decorative housing (canopy) at the ceiling must be metal.

The metal housing acts as a protective cover for the Control Unit.

DO NOT USE WITH A NON-METALLIC HOUSING.

5. Only the remote unit should be used to change fan speeds. Do not use

the pull chain to change fan speeds after installation.

6. Make sure no bare wires are exposed outside of the connectors.

7. All wiring must conform to national and local electrical codes. If you

feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experi-

ence, have your fan control installed by a licensed electrician.

Any

electrical work not described in this manual should be performed

by a licensed electrician.

8. Do not use water or detergents to clean the remote transmitter unit. A

dry dust cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

9. Use of this control with some ceiling fans could result in fire, shock,

and serious personal injury. Use this fan control only with capacitor

speed controlled ceiling fans only.

B. INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR NEW WESTINGHOUSE REMOTE FAN CONTROL SYSTEM

WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE

Before connecting this control unit:

• Disconnect electrical power from the circuit to be used.

• Household power can cause serious injury or death.

• Wiring must meet all local electrical code requirements.

NOTE: Before installing this

unit, change the factory code

switch setting to your own

preferred setting.

Be sure the code switch posi-

tions of the transmitter and

receiver match each other or

the ceiling fan will not function.
If this unit causes interfer-

ence with other appliances,

you may need to select

different combinations.

1. Setting the code on your new remote (see figure 6).

• Remove battery cover. Press firmly below arrow and slide battery cover off.

2. Slide code switches to your choice of UP and DOWN positions (use ball point

pen or small screwdriver to slide firmly up or down). Factory setting is all UP.

Do

NOT

use this setting.

3. Setting the code on your new control unit (see figure 7).

• Slide code switches to the same positions as set on your REMOTE.

NOTE: The code switches on the transmitter and the receiver unit must be set to

the same positions to work.

A. MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:

NOTE: This remote only works
with some fans in sloped ceiling
model.
Do not use fan speed control in
canopies where the mounting is
not as described in figures 4 or 5.
This remote cannot be installed in a
downrod style fan when in flushmount
mode (when downrod is not in use).

1. Disconnect existing wiring between ceiling fan and AC sup-

ply at electrical junction box.

2.

FOR FANS ON A DOWNROD:

Remove ceiling fan canopy

from its mounting plate. Go to step 5.

FOR FLUSHMOUNT FANS:

Remove decorative housing

from mounting plate (see figure 2). Disconnect mounting

bracket from mounting plate and allow to hang from one side

(see figure 3).

3. Making the electrical connection:

• Connect GREEN fan wire to BARE (ground) wire.

• Connect BLACK control unit wire to BLACK supply wire

(AC L).

• Connect WHITE control unit wire to WHITE supply wire

(AC N).

• Connect WHITE control unit wire (MOTOR N) to WHITE

fan wire.

• Push the connected wires up into the junction box. Place

BLACK wires on one side of box, and WHITE, GREEN and

BARE (ground) wires on the other side of the box.

• Connect RED control unit wire (MOTOR L) to BLACK fan wire.

• Connect BLUE control unit wire (FOR LIGHT) to BLUE

light wire.

• Push the connected wires up into the junction box.

• Lay the BLACK control unit wire (ANTENNA) on top of the

control unit.

•

FOR FANS ON A DOWNROD:

Lay the control unit in the

canopy (see figure 4). Reinstall the canopy on its mount-

ing plate. Restore electrical power to the circuit.

•

FOR FLUSHMOUNT FANS:

Attach the control unit to

the mounting plate or to the ceiling with the supplied tie

wraps (see figure 5). Reconnect the mounting bracket to

the mounting plate (see figure 2). Reinstall the decorative

housing on its mounting plate. Restore electrical power to

the circuit.

NOTE: If the unit does not fit properly between the

mounting plate and ceiling, attach the unit to the

underside of the mounting plate.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM: REMOTE FAILS TO OPERATE

Check:

• Is there power to the control unit?

• Is the control unit wired correctly?

• Are the fan and light switches set on the highest position?

• Is there a good battery in the remote? If the red indicator lights when either

button is pushed, the battery is good.

• Are the switches set the same in both the remote and the control unit?

PROBLEM: SHORT RANGE

Solution:

• If the remote can operate the control unit when close to it but does not oper-

ate it at distances of 30-50 feet, try placing the black antenna wire above the

ceiling and outside of the junction box.

The Westinghouse remote control for ceiling fans offers a limited war-

ranty of one year from the date of purchase to the original owner against

defects in material and workmanship. All spare parts are covered for

ninety days only. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or

implied.

Westinghouse will repair or replace this remote control if it is defec-

tive due to faulty materials or workmanship. This warranty does not cover

service charges, batteries, defects resulting from accidents, damages caused

through abuse or alterations or by affixing any attachment not provided with

the product, improper installation or maintenance, failure of supporting

devices not supplied as original mounting hardware, exposures to extremes

of heat or humidity, incorrect voltage, surges in current,

unauthorized repair, or failures caused by modifications of the product or the

acts of third parties. See remote manual for proper installation.

C. SETTING THE OPERATING CONTROLS (FIRST TIME ONLY):

1. This unit operates on one 9 volt battery (included).

2. Store the controller unit away from excess heat or humidity.

3. This remote control unit is equipped with 16 code combinations.

Because of the many combinations, interference from other remotes

is possible (i.e. garage openers, car alarms, security systems, etc.).

If your fan/light goes on or off without using your remote, change the

codes on both the control unit in the fan and in your remote transmitter.

4. If your ceiling fan is equipped with variable speed and light ON/OFF pull

chain switch controls, make sure to set the speed control at the

HIGHEST

speed and the light to the

ON

or

BRIGHTEST

position before installing the

wall control. This will avoid erratic speeds and possible damage to your

ceiling fan.

5. Operation buttons on the panel of the transmitter:

1

– FAN High speed

2

– FAN Medium speed

3

– FAN Low speed

0

– FAN Off

Light Bulb – LIGHT brightness and ON/OFF control

6. To turn ON the fan, press the selected speed button to run the fan at the

desired speed.

7. To turn OFF the fan, press the “0” button.
8. For LIGHT control: Turn the LIGHT ON/OFF by pressing the light bulb

button. If you keep the light bulb button pressed, the LIGHT will dim,

go off, and come back on at the brightest level. The LIGHT will continue

to cycle until the light bulb button is released. If you turn your power

source off, the settings on your fan and lighting will not remain the same

when you turn the power back on.
