How to Connect a Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Remote

Controlling your Hampton Bay ceiling fan with a remote control offers convenience and ease of use. Connecting the remote to your fan is a simple process that can be completed in a few minutes. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you connect your Hampton Bay ceiling fan remote:

Materials Needed:

Hampton Bay ceiling fan remote control
Two AAA batteries (if not included with the remote)
Screwdriver (if required for your fan model)

Step 1: Install Batteries

Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Open the compartment and insert two AAA batteries according to the polarity markings (+ and -). Ensure the batteries are securely in place.

Step 2: Locate the Receiver Module

The receiver module is a small device that receives signals from the remote control. It is usually located near the ceiling fan motor. Look for a small box with wires connected to it.

Step 3: Check DIP Switch Settings

Both the remote control and the receiver module have DIP switches. These switches determine the frequency at which the remote and receiver communicate. Ensure that the DIP switches on both devices are set to the same position. This is usually indicated by a small diagram on the devices.

Step 4: Connect Wires (if applicable)

Some Hampton Bay ceiling fan models require you to connect wires between the receiver module and the ceiling fan motor. Refer to your fan's installation manual for specific instructions. The wires are typically color-coded for easy identification.

Step 5: Power Off the Circuit

For safety, turn off the power to the ceiling fan circuit at the electrical panel. This will prevent any electrical accidents while working on the fan.

Step 6: Mount the Receiver Module

Find a suitable location for the receiver module near the ceiling fan motor. Screw the module into place using the provided screws or the existing mounting holes on the fan.

Step 7: Wire the Receiver Module

Connect the wires from the receiver module to the corresponding terminals on the ceiling fan motor. Follow the color coding on the wires for correct connections. Tighten the wire connections securely.

Step 8: Power On the Circuit

Turn on the power to the ceiling fan circuit at the electrical panel.

Step 9: Pair the Remote Control

Press and hold the "Program" or "Sync" button on the receiver module for a few seconds. The LED indicator on the module will start blinking. While the LED is blinking, press the "Fan" button on the remote control. The LED will stop blinking and stay solid, indicating a successful pairing.

Step 10: Test the Remote Control

Press the buttons on the remote control to control the ceiling fan. Ensure that the fan responds appropriately to the remote commands.

Troubleshooting Tips:

If the remote does not control the fan, check the batteries and ensure they are properly installed.
Verify that the DIP switches on the remote and receiver module are set to the same frequency.
Inspect the wire connections between the receiver module and the ceiling fan motor. Make sure they are secure and there are no loose wires.
