Ceiling Fan With Reverse Remote – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly close to a flat horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be taken care of, and from where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to the size of the room being fitted, and may cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the instruments and possible other parts essential for installing them, their self-assemble kits include anything else. In many cases, the fan, that can have its lighting, will replace a ceiling permanent fixture.
Safety, The electricity has to be off once your there where the fan will be installed. If the fan is replacing a permanent fixture, shut down its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall switch to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during the installation; do not lean or enter into a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye-glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is required, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eye-glasses or goggles step-stool/ladder Phillips screwdrivers pliers electrical tape knife or sissors AC tester light wire cutter/stripper tape measure (optional) electric drill and additional screws for securing the junction box, if needed
Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture in the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws in the electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the test light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail to get in touch the crooks to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the home is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also look into the firmness with the electrical box in the ceiling. If it can be not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes in the box for them. The ceiling fan is heavier as opposed to permanent fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends with the tailing wires in the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket on the box using the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside with the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly in the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger into the centralized holder with the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should certainly swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for your motor plus a blue or off-color one for your lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together using the stripped end with the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together using the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire on the white ceiling wire exactly the same.
Then, to maintain these connections from loosening even though the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of such nuts for their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire in the bracket frame) on the electrical box if your box can also be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert about it green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing by using it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud on the far ends with the mounting bracket using the small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges with the motor and the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades for their end brackets using the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades on the bottom side of fan motor using the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed on the motor to maintain them separate in the rest with the kit hardware.
Tip: to maintain the motor from becoming too off-level in this step, install the blades one by one opposite to one another first of all. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly on the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades through quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders in the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly is not wanted at all. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch to on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set in the future on using the wall switch, even though the fan itself is controlled through the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch that allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred. For more information on ceiling fan installation, see the following sites.
