8. Wall Control Installation
3-WAY WIRING DIAGRAM:
NEW CONSTRUCTION
NOTE: Retrofit 3-way installations are likely to
include two traveler wires between the two wall
boxes. In new construction, only one traveler wire Is
required (See Figure 36).
WARNING
!
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse or circuit breaker 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.
8.8
Disconnect electrical power to the branch circuit at the
circuit breaker or fuse box before attempting to install
the ceiling fan wall control into the outlet box.
Screw wall control into wall box using the supplied
screws. Leave wall control in "OFF" mode until fan
installation is completed.
WARNING
!
Do not connect any neutral (white) wire to this control.
Incorrect wiring will damage this control.
The wall control is supplied with a white, ivory, and
almond color switch covers. Choose the finish that best
suits your needs and snap the cover onto the wall
control (Figure 36).
Next, install the other wall control into the wall box
containing the load wire. Connect the black wire of the
wall control to the traveler wire(s) already connected to
the black wire (in the other wall box). Secure with wire
connectors supplied.
