[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this turned out to be out of date info according to the tech.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.

Randy

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

in my home and none are grounded,
The guy that installed the electric box in the ceiling only used 2
conductor wire (black and white). I tied into that - white to white
and black to black.

When I wired up the fans, I just wired the green ground wire on the
fans to the small screw on the electric box in the ceiling. Maybe
someday I will run a ground wire from the boxes to the circuit breaker
box, but the fans work fine without one.

You don't need the ground wire connected to anything to make your
fans work.

Hello Jim:

when i called the first time to hunter tech i was told it was the reciever
and a new one is being sent.
i recieved it the other day and that one looks like the one used in the
manual.
i am begining to think that the tech lied or wasnt honest when they said i
had the "newer" reciever.
i just think they didnt want to take the chance that i would look to return
it if i knew i had an older reciever. this one looks newer to my newbie
eye and does not have the red or white neutral in wire.
right now 1 fan was installed flush and i will be dropping it down a bit.
while doing that i could just change the reciever. not sure what i will do
but will look to see if there was any kind of recall.

My spouse just brought home a new hunter ceiling fan, so I will be
doing what you are doing pretty soon now as soon as it gets put on the
honey do list.
The way it works around my house is that all household benefits
pretty much grind to a halt when the honey do list has unfinished
chores on it.

Ceiling fans do make household benefits even better.
on the other hand.. i am married to many years for that to work on me.
she wants to hold out... thats fine with me. to a certain point.
