Westinghouse 77878 Installation & Operating Instructions

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 remote controller is designed for Incandescent, CFL and LED lamps.
2. This remote controller is suitable for Indoor/Outdoor damp location.
A. MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
NOTE: This remote only works
with some sloped ceiling mounted
fan models.
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. FOR FANS ON A DOWNROD: Remove ceiling fan canopy
from its mounting plate. Go to Step 3.
FOR FLUSHMOUNT FANS: Remove decorative housing
from mounting plate (see figure 2). Disconnect mounting
from mounting plate and allow to hang from one side
bracket
(see figure 3).
2. Disconnect existing wiring between ceiling fan and AC supply
at electrical junction box.
3. Making the electrical connection:
• Make sure the GREEN fan wire is connected to the house
ground (bare copper) 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.
• Connect BLACK control unit wire (MOTOR L) to BLACK fan wire.
B. INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR NEW WESTINGHOUSE REMOTE FAN CONTROL SYSTEM
NOTE: All remote controls are preset with a pair of codes when being
manufactured and are ready to use. If this unit causes interference with
other appliances, you can adjust the code switches inside the back of
remote transmitter(see figure 6). Turn off the fan mainpower, and open the
back cover of remote transmitter, and adjust the code switches. Once the
code is adjusted, restore the fan power on and press and hold the "0"
button on the transmitter for 3 to 5 seconds. NOTE: You must press the "0"
button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan. The fan would be
operated at medium speed and then stop, and in the meantime the fan light
would flash and turn on, the study process will be completed and the remote
is ready for normal use.
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

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.
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.

WARNING: SHUT POWER OFF AT FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE INSTALLING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

2. This wall control is rated for a maximum (ceiling fan only) motor amp
of 1.25 at 120 volts, total (incandescent bulb only) wattage equaling 190
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.

• 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.
remote control. This will avoid erratic speeds and possible damage
to your ceiling fan.
5. Remote Control Operation:
1. Turning fan On/Off – press and release. The remote control operates the
fan speed as follows: 1 - high; 2 - medium; 3 – low; 0 - off.
2. Light Dimmer – continuous pressure on the light button dims light in a
continuous cycle from lightest to darkness.
3. Light On/Off – press and release light button.
