Hunter 27157 - ON/OFF Fan & Light Control Manual

Notes

All wiring must be performed in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with the wiring codes, you should use a qualified electrician.

To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, fluorescent light fixture, motor operated appliance, or transformer-supplied appliance. Use only to control one paddle-blade ceiling fan and incandescent light fixture.

1. This device сomplies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
   1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
   2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

3. For use only with electrically reversible ceiling fans rated at 1.0 amp or less, and fan incandescent light kits rated at 300 watts or less.
4. Not for use with shaded-pole motors. Not recommended for use with the Hunter Original®. For Hunter Original® series fans, use Hunter control model numbers 27187, 22691, or 27189.
5. This product is intended for use with a single switch. If more than one switch is being used to control the fixture, consult a qualified electrician for assistance.

Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company will void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Before Installing the Control

1. Use the pull-chain switch on the fan to set the fan speed to the HIGH position before installation.
2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation. The light setting should only be changed by the Hunter control.

Receiver Installation

1. Disconnect power to the ceiling fan and light kit at the main electrical panel. Remove fuse or move circuit breaker to the OFF position.
2. 
   Before installing this control, check the factory default jumper settings on the transmitter and the dip switches on the receiver. Refer to Figure 1. Be sure the jumper positions of the transmitter and dip switch positions on the receiver match, or the ceiling fan will not function. Select different combinations of dip switches and jumpers to prevent misoperation due to other remote control fans.
   
3. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type (Figure 2). Most installations will be one of these four types: Canopy Hanger, Hunter Hands-Free^TM Canopy, Low Profile Styles I and II, or Bracket Hanger.
   
4. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of making the electrical connections. Connect receiver to ceiling fan according to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.
5. If the fan is already installed, turn the power OFF at the main electrical panel. Reverse the installation procedure according to the fan instructions, to the point of disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect the receiver to the ceiling fan according to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.
6. Use the 2 large wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and house wiring, then use the 3 small wire nuts supplied to connect the receiver and ceiling fan wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 3.
   
7. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it can not interfere with the ceiling fan motor. Refer to Figure 2. Do not modify or damage the antenna wire, as control performance may be reduced. After securing the receiver, antenna, and wiring, finish hanging the ceiling fan according to its instructions.

Fan Installation Types

NOTE: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier canopy installation, cut the excess wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches remaining. Restrip the fan lead wires 1/2 inch. Place remaining excess wire into the ceiling electrical box as needed.

Canopy Hanger (Fig. 2-A): Place receiver in canopy. Connect wiring as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings (approximately 3–6˝).

Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy (Fig. 2-B): Connect wiring as shown in Figure 3. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6˝).

Low Profile Style I (Fig. 2-C): Secure receiver to the fan plate above the motor with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings (approximately 3–6˝).

Low Profile Style II (Fig. 2-D): Secure receiver to the ceiling mounting bracket with UL listed cable ties (not included). Connect wiring as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6˝).

Bracket Hanger (Fig. 2-E): Starting with the antenna wire, slide receiver inside mounting bracket. If a ground wire mounting screw prevents the receiver from sliding into the bracket, move ground wire and screw to an unused hole at the top of the bracket or secure with a canopy mounting screw. The bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the receiver (approximately 5–8˝).

Cable Tie Routing for Low Profile Fans (Figs. 2-C, 2-D): Insert cable tie through openings as shown. DO NOT insert the cable tie through the inside of the receiver. The cable tie can be placed across the length or width of the receiver to best match your fan installation type.

Light Operation

• Press and quickly release the ON or OFF button on the remote control to turn the light OFF or ON. (Light will come ON at maximum brightness.)
  

Fan Operation

• Press and quickly release the ON or OFF button on the remote control to turn the fan OFF or ON.
• To change the fan speed, slowly pull the fan pull-chain switch to select the desired speed.
