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.
2 Turn off the local electrical power by either switching off the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse from the fuse box. To ensure the wires do NOT have power
running to them, use an inductive voltage detector.
NOTE: The back box wiring shown in this document is an example. Your
wire colors and functions may differ. If you are not sure which wires
are the Hot, Neutral, Load, Traveler, and Ground wires, have a trained
electrician perform the installation.
