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.

Notes:

1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing 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. Industry Canada: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device 

may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including 

interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

3. 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.

4. In the case of a power outage, the fan and light connected to this remote will turn off 

and remain off after the power resumes. 

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Medium and Low fan speeds are determined by the control and thus may vary from 

the factory settings due to normal motor variations.

8. For use with Hunter Hanging systems (excludes Hunter Original) on angled ceilings 

up to 34 degree pitch ceilings.

9. Not for use in applications where the fan does not have a wall switch

Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Hunter Fan 

Company will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

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. IMPORTANT! Before installing this control, Change the position of the jumpers in 

the transmitter and the DIP switches in the receiver. Be sure the position of the jumper 

in the transmitter matches the position of the DIP switches in the receiver. If they don’t 

match, the controller will not function. Select different combinations of settings to 

prevent misoperation due to other remote control fans.

3. IMPORTANT! If your ceiling fan light kit is using incandescent bulbs, then slide the 

CFL / INC switch to the INC position. Refer to Figure 1. If your ceiling fan light kit is 

using compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL), then slide the CFL / INC switch to the 

CFL position. NOTE: When the switch is in the CFL position, the dimming feature is 

disabled, and you will not be able to dim the light bulbs. This feature is to protect both 

your bulbs and your receiver as CFL bulbs are not able to dim and will malfunction if 

dimming is attempted.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Use the 2 large wire connectors 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.

8. 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.

9. Restore power at main electrical panel.

1. Install the 12 volt alkaline battery (A23 or equivalent) inside the hand-held transmit-

ter, after setting the dip switches to match the dip switches in the receiver.

2. Mount the remote holder over the ceiling fan’s wall switch using the existing wall 

plate screws. Refer to Figure 4.

3. The transmitter can be placed on the remote holder for convenience or safekeeping.

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 Fig. 

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 open-

ings 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.
