Wifi Ceiling Fan Control – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly beside a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be taken care of, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to the room size being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, which are reversible. Except for the instruments and possible other regions necessary for installing them, their self-assemble kits feature anything else. In many cases, the fan, that can have its very own 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, turn off 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 throughout the installation; don’t lean or enter a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring should be used, 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 extra screws for securing the junction box, if needed

Installation steps (seeing the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the permanent fixture from your ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from your electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the exam light will stay off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect them 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 check 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, that might require drilling two holes in the box on their behalf. 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 towards the box with all the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside with the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from your 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 really should swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one to the motor plus a blue or off-color one to the lights to be attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of these two wires (motor and lights) together with all the stripped end with the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together with all the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire towards the white ceiling wire exactly the same way.


Then, to hold these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of these nuts to their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from your bracket frame) towards the electrical box if your box is also grounded which has a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an expert concerning this green wire connection. Some will say to leave it be, i.e., do nothing at all by it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud towards the far ends with the mounting bracket with all the small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges with the motor as well as the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (4 to 6) and mount them. After picking out the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades to their end brackets with all the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades towards the bottom side of fan motor with all the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed towards the motor to hold them separate from your rest with the kit hardware.

Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level within this step, install the blades one by one opposite together to begin with. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly towards the small round central housing unit just below the fan blades via the 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 just 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 with all the wall switch, as 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.
