Danger:
Verify power to
each switch is OFF
before proceeding.
Important Note:
Your wall switch may have two wires attached to the same screw (see illustrations below for examples). Tape
these two wires together before disconnecting. When wiring, connect wires to new Controls the same way they
were connected to the switch.
Identify switch wires.
• If two switches control the fan and light separately, tag the wires connected to the light switch. In Step 12,
connect these wires to the Wall Control.

Important Wiring Information
Push-in Terminals: Insert wires fully.
NOTE:
Push-in terminals are for use with 14 AWG
solid copper wire only. DO NOT
use stranded or twisted wire.
Screw Terminals: Tighten securely.
Screw terminals are for use with 12 or 14 AWG
solid copper wire only. DO NOT
use stranded or twisted wire.

Wiring the Wall Control (MIR-LFQ35M):
• Use wire connectors to connect the
green
ground
wire on the Wall Control to the
bare copper
or
green
ground wire in the wallbox (see 4-Important Wiring
Information).
• Connect either of the wires removed from the switch
to the
black
screw terminal on the Wall Control.
• Connect the remaining wire removed from the switch
to one of the
brass
screw terminals on the Wall
Control.
• Tighten the remaining
brass
screw terminal on the
Wall Control. It is not used in a single-pole circuit.
•
Cap any unused wires.
Mount Control(s) to wallbox.
• Form wires carefully into the wallbox, mount and align the Control(s).
• Install wallplate(s).
Caution:
Do not

Turn ON power.
• Do not turn on power until Wall Control, Accessory Control(s) and Canopy Module have been
installed and wired.
• Turn power ON at circuit breaker (or replace fuse).
Recommended - Disconnect pull chains.
• Disconnect pull chain extensions to prevent light and fan speeds from being adjusted at the fan.
Activate system.
• Pull out the Front Accessible Service Switch (
FASS) at the bottom
of the Wall Control, wait 10 seconds, then push it back in.
• The LEDs will cycle for up to 30 seconds.
• If installing more than one Wall Control/Canopy Module system,
activate one at a time with
FASS pushed in on all other systems.
• Accessory Controls do not require activation.

This switch will be a single-pole. The switch will have
insulated wires connected to two screws of the same
color plus a green ground screw.
Ground
(Bare Copper or
Green Wire)
Two switches controlling a fan/light fixture.
Both switches will be 3-way. Each switch will have
insulated wires connected to three screws plus a green
ground screw. One of these wires is connected to a screw
of a different color (not green) or labeled COMMON.
TAG
this wire on both switches to identify when wiring.
