A note about our online installation instructions: Most Modern Fan Co. products have been in our assortment for several years or longer. As we continually work to improve product performance and user experience, we occasionally introduce subtle (and sometimes dynamic) product changes. These can affect the steps associated with assembly and installation of our products depending on when a fan was produced.

See Page 2 WARNING 2 Circuit Breaker POWER OFF If your fan was ordered with the optional LED light kit, continue with Step 2 here. If your fan was not ordered with the optional light kit, proceed to Step 3. Keep in mind, the optional LED can be ordered and added to your fan at a later date. It is also possible that your light may have been factory installed. To install optional LED, carefully place fan body (bottom side up) on top of either piece of packing foam.
Fan Installation (continued) 4 Remove down rod stopper screw from fan body and loosen collar set screw. Also remove half-ball from down rod by loosening set screw and removing stopper pin, setting aside for Step 5. Run lead wires from fan body through selected down rod and fit down rod into fan body collar, taking care not to pinch or damage wires. Align holes in down rod with hole in collar and reinstall stopper screw, tightening firmly. Also firmly tighten collar set screw against down rod.
See Pages 2-3 WARNING 6 Circuit Breaker POWER OFF Identify control components from control package(s). In addition to a receiving unit, your fan may have been ordered with a wall control (transmitter), a handheld remote control (transmitter) or both.
See Pages 2-3 Fan Installation (continued) 7 WARNING Circuit Breaker POWER OFF Dimming Selector Switch The remote handset and wall control ship pre-set for “on/off” operation of the light. The LIGHT button will turn the light on and off when pressed and released. To enable dimming function on the remote handset, move the vertically oriented dip switch down from ON to 1 (or from X to D). On the wall control, move the right (or lower) dip switch from ON to 2 (or from X to D).
9 If your fan was ordered with the optioinal light kit, align slotted openings in glass diffuser with small posts on inside edge of light plate. Push up and gently rotate into place. There is no need to forcefully over-tighten the glass diffuser. Device Pairing 10 If using the individual RF channel(s), you will need to pair your remote handset and/or wall control with the receiver.
Fan Installation (continued) Fan Operation 11 The ON/OFF switch on the bottom of your wall control (transmitter) terminates power to the fan. This switch must be in the “ON” position for your fan to receive commands and to operate. Alternatively, you may use an on/off toggle switch at the wall box in combination with a remote control handset (transmitter). In some cases, when no switch leg is present, your fan may have continuous power to the receiving unit.
Fan Balancing 12 The rotor and motor of your fan have been dynamically tested and balanced during manufacturing and production. In addition, the blades have been matched to the nearest gram to ensure well balanced operation. Furthermore, a blade balancing kit has been included with your fan. Please refer to the instructions packaged with the balancing kit should your fan require additional balancing.
