5. Preparation for Wiring.
To prepare fan for wiring, lift motor assembly to
mounting plate and then hang motor assembly on
j-hook on underside of mounting plate. (Use one of
the holes on the rim of the motor assembly or the
preassembled safety cable to do so.) This will allow
motor assembly to hang out of the way while
wiring.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to help lift the fan up to
you once you are set on the ladder.
After wiring the fan, find a secure attachment
point (wood ceiling joist highly recommended)
and secure safety cable. It will be necessary to
use a heavy duty wood screw, washer and lock
washer (not supplied) with the safety cable loop.
If necessary, adjust the loop at the end of the
safety cable. The loop at the end of the safety
cable should just fit over the threads on the
wood screw. Test safety cable by pulling on loose
end of cable with pliers. If the safety cable slips, the
loop must be adjusted smaller. Extra cable slack
can be left in ceiling area.
6. Wiring.
WARNING: Turn off circuit breakers to current
fixture from breaker panel and be sure switch is
turned to the OFF position.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded
and that a ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with
Local Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical
Code. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if
the house/building wires are different colors than
those referred to in the diagram to the right, please
use a qualified electrician.
Note: Excess lead wire length from the fan can be cut
to the desired length and then stripped.
Once motor assembly has been temporarily hung
on the j-hook on the mounting plate , WIRE THE
RECEIVER with wire connectors provided as shown
in diagram at right.
Tip: While you are wiring, keep in mind that wires
must not obstruct receiver.
* Wrap each wire connector separately with
electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
Gently insert receiver (flat side up) into mounting
plate and carefully push wires and taped wire
connectors into outlet box. Let antenna rest
outside of mounting plate.
