Caution: Risk of Electrical Shock!

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 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 interfer-

ence 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 communica-

tions. 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 interfer-

ence 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 equip-

ment.

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. IMPORTANT! 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 mis-

operation due to other remote control fans.

3. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type (Figure 2). Most installa-

tions 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 accord-

ing 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 open-

ings (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 (approxi-

mately 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 mount-

ing 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.
