Default worlds slowest ceiling fan.

[power wiring]
Connect the red and white wires from the fan with the white from the
receiver to the white power (common) wire.


this turned out to be out of date info according to the tech.
it makes no mention of the read and white wires coming out of the reciever.
the only white wire they mention is the neutral.
i was told by the first tech to connect the recievers red and white wires to
the fans red and white to the white coming out of the ceiling. so 4 wires
to the 1 white wire.

according to the last tech.
i am not suposed to connect the red and white fan wires to the white wire.
the fans red and white wires get connected to the recievers red and white
wire.
the white neutral in wire gets connected to the white wire from the ceiling.
I was told they are now using a new receiver and that the diagrams are
wrong.
they still didnt change it.
both fans are working fine now.
I am not looking into putting one in my diningroom. there are 2 light
fictures on both ends of the ceiling. i will be looking into putting a fan
betweent them and in line with the one in the living room.
i did a few favors for a contractor and might ask him to put that one in.
although i think i can do it myself.

thank you for your help. all i needed was the correct instructions.
but who knows.



Basically, it says connect the like colored wires from the fan and
receiver to each other. Then hook up the power wires by connecting the
red & white wire from the fan together with a (assuming larger) white
wire from the receiver (three wires) to the white neutral power wire
from the ceiling (total four wires.)


that is what the diagram says and its wrong. the like wires from the fan
and reciever all get connected together. the white neurtal in gets
connected to the white in the ceiling.


By the way, an electrician is a lot cheaper than hospital bills, or
what a fire would cost...

Good Luck.

i think this would have been a very simple job if Hunter would up date their
instructions.
unless all the tech people were wrong.
anyway boths fans are working fine finally

Thank you
