Westinghouse 77879 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:
A. MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
NOTE: This remote only works
with some fans when mounted on
sloped ceilings.
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 installed as
flushmount (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.
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 (see Figure 1):
• Connect GREEN fan wire to BARE (ground) wire.
• Connect BLACK receiver unit wire to BLACK supply wire
(AC LINE).
• Connect WHITE receiver unit wire to WHITE supply wire
(AC NEUTRAL).
• Connect WHITE receiver 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.
B. SETTING THE OPERATING CONTROLS (FIRST TIME ONLY):
1. This unit operates on two 1.5V AAA batteries (included).
2. Store the controller unit away from excess heat or humidity.
3. The remote control adopts RF wireless digit emission technique.
4. The transmitter and receiver are matched at the factory. Please follow the next step to reprogram when the pairing is failed.
5.
Turn off the fan power and then restore it, press and hold the "fan stop" button for 5 seconds,within 60 seconds after you
restore the power, the fan will automatic turn on at low speed and then turn off, with the light flashing 3 times.
(NOTE: The pairing process is not accepted after 60 seconds when you restore supply power)
6. Please note the transmitter can pair with multiple receivers. When the transmitter does not control the receiver,
please check if any similar remote controls are working nearby, disconnect them and then proceed with pairing
process again.
7.
If your ceiling fan is equipped with variable speed and light ON/OFF pull chain switch control, make sure to set the
speed control at the HIGHEST speed and the light to the ON or BRIGHTEST position before installing the
remote control. This will avoid erratic speeds and possible damage to your ceiling fan.
8 . Operation buttons on the panel of the transmitter:
(1) Fan speed:
= High speed
= Medium-high speed
= Medium speed
= Low speed
(2) - On/Off Button: Turn the fan off
(3) - Light On/Off – press and release light button.
- Light Dimmer - continuously press the light button to brighten the light
- Light Dimmer - continuously press the light button to dim the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM: REMOTE FAILS TO OPERATE
Check:
• Is there power to the receiver unit?
• Is the receiver 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 receiver 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. This remote control is rated for a maximum of 1.2 Motor amp at 120 volts,
and total bulb wattage equaling 100 Watt maximum.
2. Do not use with DC solid state ceiling fans.
3. 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.
4. Only the remote unit should be used to change fan speeds. Do not use
the pull chain to change fan speeds after installation.
5. Make sure no bare wires are exposed outside of the connectors.

• Connect BLACK receiver unit wire (MOTOR L) to BLACK fan wire.
• Connect BLUE receiver 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.
