Type: User manual

CONCORD RM-08 is a ceiling fan and lighting system that can be controlled remotely or via a wall-mounted control unit. With the included handheld remote, you can operate your fan from anywhere in the room, adjusting the speed and direction of rotation. The wall-mounted control unit is a convenient alternative to the remote, providing easy access to fan and light controls from a fixed location. Additionally, RM-08 features compatibility with CONCORD uplights and motor center band lighting, allowing you to control your lighting ambiance alongside your fan operation

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.

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.

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.
