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 ceiling fan and 

incandescent light fixture.

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 

interference 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 

communications. 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 interference 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 the one 

the receiver is connected to.

• 

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. Medium and Low fan speeds are determined by the All-Fan

®

 control and 

thus may vary from the factory settings due to normal motor variations.

6. For use with Hunter Hanging systems (excludes Hunter Original) on 

angled ceilings up to 34 degree pitch.

7. Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved 

by Hunter Fan Company will void the user’s authority to operate the 

equipment.

Before Installing the All-Fan® Control:
1. Use the pull chain to set the fan speed to the HIGH position 

before installation. DO NOT use the pull chain to change 

the fan speed after installation, as damage to your ceiling 

fan may result. The speed of the fan should only be 

changed by the All-Fan® control.

2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before 

installing the All-Fan® control. The light level should only 

be changed by the All-Fan® 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.

IMPORTANT! 

Before installing this control, change 

the factory default DIP switch settings to your own 

unique code. Refer to Figure 1. Be sure the DIP switch 

positions of the transmitter and receiver match, or the 

ceiling fan will not function.

2. Select different combinations of DIP switches to prevent misoperation due 

to other remote control fans, garage door openers, etc.

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

will be one of these five types: Canopy Hanger, Hunter Hands-Free

TM

 

Canopy, Low Profile Styles I or 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 

according to the mounting type as instructed in Figure 2.

5. If the fan is already installed, reverse the installation procedure to the 

point of disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect receiver to 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 connectors 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 does 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.

Wall Control Installation:

1. Remove rocker-style wallplate (not included) to 

expose the wall wiring.

2. If 4 wires are visible, connect each black wire to an 

All-Fan® lead. Use 2 of the large wire connectors 

supplied to make the connections. Refer to Figure 

5.

3. If there is a ground wire in your electrical box, 

attach it to the ground screw near the bottom of the 

mounting plate.

4. Gently push wires and wall control into the 

electrical box. Attach the All-Fan® control to the 

switch box with the two screws provided.

5. Verify that the master switch is in the OFF position. 

Press inward on each side of the wall control to 

remove the face cover. Set the DIP switches in the wall control to match 

the DIP switches in the receiver. Figure 4. Install a 12-volt alkaline battery 

(A23, MN21, or equivalent). Replace the face cover.

6. Restore power at the electrical panel.

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 

openings (approximately 3-6”).

Hunter Hands-Free

TM

 Canopy (Fig. 2-B):

 Connect wiring as shown 

in Figure 3. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. (On some Wisper 

Wind

TM

 models, the receiver must rest across the bottom of the mounting 

bracket.) Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 

3-6”).

Low Profile Style I (Fig. 2-C): 

Attach the receiver to the motor 

mounting plate with 12” cable ties (not included). Cut off any extra cable 

tie. 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):

 Attach the receiver to the ceiling 

bracket with 12” cable ties (not included). Trim off the excess cable tie 

length. Connect wiring as shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the 

ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 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 

ON

an unused hole at the top of the bracket or secure with a canopy mounting 

screw. The bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring as 

shown in Figure 3. Extend antenna above the receiver (approximately 3 – 

6˝).

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.
