8 • Setting the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Setting Jumper Switches When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to have the receiver/transmitter for each fan set to a different code, so that the operation of one fan does not affect the operation of the other fans. In the transmitter you can access the jumpers from the battery compartment. e jumpers are very small. You can move them most easily using a small pair of pliers or tweezers.
9 • Completing Your Installation 9-1. To attach the lower switch housing, connect the plug connector from the motor to the plug connector from the receiver in the lower switch housing assembly.
