How to Properly Install Multiple Remote-Controlled Fans

If you want to install multiple fans with independently operating remote controls, and the fans are on the same circuit 
breaker, please follow these extra steps during the installation process. Failure to follow these instructions may result in 
interference or faulty operation of your remote controls.

Note: These instructions apply only to 99XXX series remote models and 5XXXX series fan models with remotes included. The instructions are applicable to handheld and wall control models.

1. 

Complete the installation of your first fan, including the remote control pairing instructions. 

Your remote must be paired within 3 minutes of restoring power to your fan. If pairing is not 

completed within 3 minutes, please turn power off and back on and repeat the pairing process. 

(Please refer to the Remote Control chapter of your fan’s Owner’s Manual for further instructions on pairing your remote.)

2. Once you have paired the remote for your first fan, 

turn power off at your circuit breaker.

3. 

Unscrew the canopy and gently rest it on top of the motor housing. Save the canopy screws. You 
will need them for reinstallation.

4. Disconnect the wire connectors between the ceiling wires and the remote control receiver wires 

as shown below. 

(Please refer to the Wiring chapter of your fan’s Owner’s Manual for more details.) 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

5. To avoid possible electrical shock, USE THE WIRE CONNECTORS TO CAP THE EXPOSED WIRES 

COMING FROM THE CEILING before restoring power.

6. After completing steps 1-5, you may install your next fan. Complete the installation of your next 

fan, including the remote pairing instructions. Your remote must be paired within 3 minutes of 
restoring power to your fan. 

(Please refer to the Remote Control chapter of your fan’s Owner’s Manual for further 

instructions on pairing your remote.)

Note: If you are installing more than two fans on the same circuit breaker, repeat steps 1-6 until 
you have installed every fan. For each fan, you should complete the installation, pair the remote 
control, then disconnect the appropriate wire connectors (see steps 4-5). Do not reconnect any of 
these wires until all remote controls are paired.

7. Once you have installed every fan and paired each remote, turn power off at your circuit 

breaker and reconnect the wires from your ceiling to the wires from each remote control 
receiver. Reinstall the canopy for each fan. 

(Please refer to your fan’s Owner’s Manual for further instructions 

on wire connections and canopy installation.)

8. 

After ensuring that all wire connections and fan parts are properly and securely installed, turn 
power on 
at your circuit breaker. You may now use multiple remote controls to independently 
operate multiple fans on the same circuit breaker.

If you have problems or questions during installation, please call customer service at 888-830-1326.
