ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before
wiring.
NOTE:
The Aire Control
®
System for this DC motor fans is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 32
code combinations to prevent potential interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and
Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 19) No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to
install another Minka Aire DC motor fan within the same home or area with a separate frequency code please see the
"frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.
The “D (DIMMER)” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The
“ON (ON/OFF)” selection is the light on only (no dimming function) and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL bulbs cannot
be dimmed properly. The CFL bulb included with this fan is not dimmable. The switch has to be set at "ON."
Step 1. Connect the ground conductor of the 120V supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire with green colored
insulation) to the green ground lead(s) of the fan. (Figure 20) When using standard ceiling mounting, there are two green
grounding leads; one from the ceiling mounting bracket and one from the ball/downrod assembly. When using
“Flushmount Installation” mounting, there is only one green ground lead from the ceiling mounting bracket since the
ball/downrod assembly is not used.
Step 2. Connect the fan motor white wire to the supply white (neutral) wire using a wire nut. (Figure 20)
Step 3. Connect the fan motor black wire to the supply black (hot) wire using a wire nut. (Figure 20)
Step 4. Turn wire nut connections upward, spreading them apart so the green (ground) will be on one side of the outlet
box, and the white and black wire will be on the other side, and push carefully up into the outlet box.
WARNING:
Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
nuts. Except for the ground wire.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock. Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
