Read entire instruction sheet carefully before beginning installation.
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, be sure the power is TURNED OFF as its source (fuse
or circuit breaker). All electrical components must be installed in accordance with national and
local electrical codes. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, this remote control should
be used only
with CONCORD ceiling fans.
CA
UTION:
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION STEPS:
Locate the Hand-held Remote Control Transmitter, the Receiver Unit, and the Wall Control. These three items have a
block of dip switches inside them. See illustrations “i” and “ii” to locate the block of dip switches. Make sure the
switches in all three units are aligned exactly the same way. This system will not function properly unless all switches
are set the same. Insert 1-12 volt battery into the Wall Control Unit (see illustration ii). Insert 1-9 volt battery into the
compartment of the Hand-held Remote Control Transmitter (see illustrations “iii”, “iv” & “v”).

Option to remove wiring from switch housing
NOTE: If your fan has uplights or motor center band lighting, your
switch housing will look like figure B.
WARNING:
For fans with uplighting or lighted motor housing, before disconnecting fan to install
Remote Control, tur
n all lights on HIGH.
STEP 1
The Switch Housing has three (3) screws around the top. Loosen the 3 screws. Rotate the Switch
Housing Unit to the left and remove. Unplug the Molex connector (see figure 1A). If you have
a light kit already attached to the fan, you may leave it attached. Simply remove the wire nuts
and disconnect the wires to the light kit. If you are installing a light fixture to the fan, do this now
according to the instructions supplied with the light kit. Do not however, connect any of the light
kit wires at this point.
NOTE: If your fan has uplight or motor center band lighting you will
have to unplug pigtail connector also (see figure 1B).
You will find 2 capacitors in your kit. Choose the capacitor that corresponds
with your fan model name (see chart below) then proceed to Step 2.
STEP 2
Make the following connections and place RM-08 wire bundle into the empty switch
housing. Remove paper backing from stickers to secure reverse module and capaci-
tor to the bottom of the shell (see figure 2).
CONNECTIONS (see figure 2):
-Attach the WHITE Module wire to the WHITE
(Un-marked) Capacitor wire.
-Attach the RED wire from Molex plug to the RED
Capacitor wire.
-If your fan has a light kit attached, connect the BLUE Lite Kit
to the BLUE Molex
plug wire and the WHITE Lite Kit
wire to the WHITE Module wire.
-If no light is installed, the second WHITE
Capacitor wire (marked “For Light”)
remains unconnected.

NOTE: If your fan has uplight or motor center band lighting you MUST connect the
WHITE Capacitor wire (marked “For Light”) to the BLUE
wire coming down from fan
(see figure 3B).
STEP 3
Connect the Molex plug from the switch housing unit to the end from the fan.
These plugs are notched and will connect in one direction only. Match the
colored sides and push together. The Switch Housing has 3 slotted holes
around the top. Align these holes with the three screws on the mounting plate.
Push the Switch Housing up and rotate to the right so the screws are at the far
left of the horizontal slot.
Tighten each screw (see figure 3A).
STEP 4: Install Mounting bracket
Loosen the two canopy mounting screws on the downside face of the mount-
ing bracket. Back them out about half way. This will allow for easier instal-
lation of the ceiling canopy later.
Install the mounting bracket onto the electrical junction box in the ceiling
using 2 machine screws, 2 washers and 2 lock washers (see figure 4). The
mounting bracket has slotted holes to enable it to move sideways for proper
alignment.
Make sure the mounting bracket is centered over the electrical junction box
and that it is securely attached.
NO MOVEMENT SHOULD OCCUR BETWEEN THE MOUNTING
BRACKET AND THE ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX.
Pull the electrical wires in the junction box down and through the mounting
bracket.
STEP 5 (see figure 4)
-Attach the WHITE wire from the junction box to the WHITE wire from the
receiving unit.
-Attach the BLACK wire from the junction box to the BLACK
wire from the
receiving unit.
-Now connect the GROUND wire from the mounting bracket to the GROUND
wire in the ceiling junction box.
NOTE: Make sure and use wires nuts on these connections. DO NOT USE
PLASTIC TAPE.

STEP 6: Hanging the fan body
Notice the half ball on the end of the support rod is grooved down one side.
This Keyway fits over the small keyway pin on the inside of the mounting
bracket and keeps the ceiling fan from spinning on the mounting bracket.
Lift the fan and place the half ball in the center of the mounting bracket with
the keyway pin inserted into the keyway on the ball. Turn the fan left and
right slightly to make sure it is seated on the bracket with the keyway pin in
the keyway (see figure 5).
Trim the lead wires, leaving about six (6) inches of each wire extending from
the support rod.
STEP 7: Making the electrical connection
TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY BEFORE PROCEEDING!
Make electrical connections from the fan to receiving unit in mounting bracket
(see figure 6a and 6b).
-Attach the WHITE wire from the fan to the WHITE
wire from receiving unit.
-Attach the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK
wire from receiving
unit.
-Attach the BLUE wire from the fan to the BLUE
wire from receiving unit.
NO
TE:
-If your fan has uplighting you will have an ORANGE or GRAY (on some
models) wire coming out of the fan. Connect this ORANGE or GRAY wire
from the fan to the ORANGE or GRAY wire on the Receiving Unit (see
figure 6a).
-If your fan has NO
Uplight, cap off the ORANGE or GRAY wire from
receiving unit (see figure 6b).
Position the receiving unit inside of the mounting bracket and feed the 4 wires
from the receiving unit down through the mounting bracket (see figure 5).
STEP 8: Install Ceiling Canopy
Lift the ceiling canopy up into place covering the mounting bracket.
Push the canopy up so the screws come through the mounting holes in the
canopy. Rotate the canopy slightly and tighten the screws (see figure 7).

Remove the wall switch plate cover and then remove the ON/OFF switch from the switch box (see
figure A). Pull the switch out of the box until you can see the wire nuts connecting the two wires
in the wall to the two wires on the switch. Now remove the wire nuts and disconnect the wires
from the switch. Re-connect the 2 switch wires together and tuck back in switch box to allow room
for RM-08. Replace wire nuts.
Push the Control Unit into the switch box and secure it with the two screws at each end of the unit
(this procedure is the same as if you were to put the original wall switch back into the wall). Now
attach the face plate to the Wall Control (see figure B).
Next, please see the Operation Instruction.
Reset your circuit breaker.
