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

To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be grounded for safe operation.

1.For a wall control installation you will need a three- wire (with ground) conductor cable between the ceiling and wall outlet boxes. This will allow you to control the fan separately from the lights. Figure 12 is a basic wiring diagram that will control the uplight and downlight on a switch and the fan on a separate control. Refer to the installation instructions and wiring diagrams supplied with the Emerson Fan Control Owner’s Manual.

a.Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger ball and the green grounding lead from the hanger bracket to the grounding conductor of supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire with green colored insulation). Securely connect wires with wire connector supplied.

b.Securely connect the white wire from the downrod to the supply white (neutral) wire using wire connector supplied. Securely connect the black wire from the downrod to the supply black (hot) wire using wire connector supplied.

c.Securely connect the blue wire from the downrod to the supply red (hot) wire using wire connector (supplied). After connections have been made, turn leads upward and carefully push leads into the outlet box, with the white and green leads on one side of the outlet box and the black, blue and yellow leads on the other side of the outlet box.

! WARNING

Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire connectors, except for the ground wire. Do not operate fan until blades are in place. Noise and fan damage could result.

2.Screw the two 1-1/4” threaded studs (provided) into the tapped holes in the hanger bracket.

3.Lift the ceiling cover up to the threaded studs and turn until studs protrude through the holes in the ceiling cover (Figure 13).

4.Secure the ceiling cover in place by sliding lockwashers over the threaded studs and installing the two knurled knobs (supplied). (Figure 13.) Tighten the knurled knobs securely until the ceiling cover fits snugly against the ceiling and the hole in the ceiling cover is clear of the pipe.

! WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, make sure that the electrical wires are completely inside the outlet box and not pinched between the ceiling cover and the ceiling.
