How to Wire Your
Ceiling Fan
If you feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
!WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.
1.If you are going to use an Emerson Remote Control/Receiver or Wall Control/Receiver to operate your ceiling fan, wire your fan in accordance with the Control/Receiver Owner’s Manual. (NOTE: The wire from the uplight harness is orange instead of yellow.) After wiring, return to Step 4 below.
2.If you are going to use two wall switches or Emerson Fan/Light Controls, you will need a
a.Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger ball and the green grounding lead from the hanger bracket to the supply grounding conductor (this may be a bare wire or wire with green colored insulation). Securely connect wires with a wire connector (supplied).
b.Securely connect the fan motor white wire to the supply white (neutral) wire using a wire connector (supplied).
c.Securely connect the fan motor black wire to the supply black (hot) wire using a wire connector (supplied).
d.Securely connect the fan motor blue wire to the supply red (hot) wire using a wire connector (supplied).
e.After connections have been made, separate the white and green wires from the black, blue and red wires.
f.Carefully turn the wires upward and insert them up through the open side of the hanger bracket and into the outlet box. Push the green and white wires into one side of the outlet box; push the black, blue and red wires into the other side of the outlet box.
