5.  CFL Recognition:

• 

Your remote can automatically recognize when CFL 
bulbs are installed. When CFL bulbs are installed, 
dimming capabilities of your lights will be disabled.

2.  Determine your ceiling fan mounting type (Figure 1). 

Most installations will be one of these six types: Canopy 
Hanger, Hunter Hands-Free

TM

 Canopy, Low Profile Styles I 

and II, or Bracket Hanger.

3.  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 1.

4.  If the fan is already installed, turn the power OFF at the 

main electrical panel. Reverse the installation procedure 
according to the fan instructions, to the point of 
disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect the receiver to the 
ceiling fan according to the mounting type as instructed 
in Figure 1.

5.  Use the 2 large wire connectors supplied to connect the 

receiver and house wiring, then use the 3 small wire nuts 
supplied to connect the receiver and ceiling fan wiring. 
Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 2.

6.  Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it can not 

interfere with the ceiling fan motor. Refer to Figure 1. 
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.

ceiling fan and incandescent light fixture.
Notes:
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 that to which the receiver is connected.

• 

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.

3.  In the case of a power outage, the fan and light 

connected to this remote will turn back on to it’s last 
running state after the power resumes. 

4.  For use only with electrically reversible ceiling fans rated 

at 1.0 amp or less, and fan light kits rated at 300 watts or 
less.

5.  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.

6.  Medium and Low fan speeds are determined by the 

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

expressly approved by Hunter Fan Company will void the 
user’s authority to operate the equipment. 

Before Installing the Control:

NOTE:
1.  Use the pull chain switch 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 or universal control may result. The 
speed of the fan should only be changed by the Hunter 
control.

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

installation. The light level should only be changed by the 
Hunter control. 

3. 

If this is a new Hunter Fan brand installation, pull 

each pull chain once out of the box to set the fan 

to HIGH and the light kit to ON.

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 1. Extend antenna through one of 
the ceiling plate openings (approximately 3–6˝).
Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy (Fig. 2-B): Connect wiring as shown 
in Figure 1. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. Extend 
antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 
3–6˝).
Low Profile Style I (Fig. 2-C): Secure receiver to the fan plate 
above the motor with UL listed cable ties (not included). 
Connect wiring as shown in Figure 1. Extend antenna 
through one of the ceiling plate openings (approximately 
3–6˝).
Low Profile Style II (Fig. 2-D): Secure receiver to the ceiling 
mounting bracket with UL listed cable ties (not included). 
Connect wiring as shown in Figure 1. 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 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 1. Extend antenna above the receiver 

(approximately 3–6˝).
Cable Tie Routing for Low Profile Fans (Figs. 

1-C, 1-D): Insert cable tie through openings
