Installation instructions
1 Ensure that the location and intended use meet the following criteria:
• If the ceiling fan being controlled is a fan/light combination, there must
be separate load wires for the fan and light from the control location. A
separate Control4 dimmer or switch must be used if the light is to be
controlled. Do not use the Fan Speed Controller to control the light.
• Do not exceed the load capacity requirements of the Fan Speed
Controller. Refer to the load ratings in the specifications above for details.
• Install in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.
• The range and performance of the wireless control system is highly
dependent on the following: (1) distance between devices; (2) layout
of the home; (3) walls separating devices; and (4) electrical equipment
located near devices.
