To avoid possible electric shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories. 2. Read all instructions and safety information carefully before installing your fan and save these instructions. 3. Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes or ordinances as well as the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with electric wiring, please use a qualified and licensed electrician. 4. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan which allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at lease seven (7) feet of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. 5. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, use only an outlet box clearly labeled "Acceptable For Fan Support". Model #26544-xx: 13.67 lbs 10. Do not attempt to control the operation of the fan (or an optional light kit) from any wall control that is not approved by Quorum for use with its fans. Do not use solid state wall controls. The use of any unapproved control voids the fan's warranty. 6. To reduce the risk of personal injury use only approved hanging brackets and screws supplied with the outlet box for mounting to the outlet box. TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLAITON Phillips Screwdriver Wire Cutters Electrical Tape Step Ladder 7. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure. 8. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while they are rotating. 9. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop. 2. UNPACKING YOUR FAN Unpack your fan and check the contents. Do not discard the carton. If warranty replacement or repair is ever necessary the fan should be returned in original packaging.

Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers. 2. If there is an existing outlet box, ensure it is clearly marked "Suitable for Fan Support". If it is not so marked, it must be replaced with an approved one. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT THE FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Ceiling Joists Ceiling Joists 3. Secure the outlet box (or make sure the existing box is secured) directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. Outlet Boxes Outlet Boxes 4. Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box in different situations. A longer downrod may be required in sloped ceiling situations to maintain proper blade clearance. 5. To hang the fan in locations where no ceiling joist is available, a hanger support bar may be required (Figure 4). Contact your local dealer for suppor bars and outlet boxes. Fig. 3 Ceiling Joists Fig. 4 Ceiling Joist Recessed outlet Boxes Angled ceiling maximum 10º angle with 4" downrod (23º Max. slope with optional extension rod) Hanger Support Bar Ceiling Joist Outlet Boxes CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, INSTALL THE PRIMARY MOUNTING MEANS AND USE ONLY THE HARDWARE PROVIDED WITH THE FAN. 4. HANGING YOUR FAN WARNING - Turn off the power! DO NOT fasten the blades to the fan until it is assembled and hanging from the ceiling. To do so now will likely bend the blade arms and almost certainly cause wobble. Downrod Ceiling Fan Outlet Box 1. Attach hanging bracket to outlet box using screws and washers provided with the outlet box. (Fig. 5) Canopy Hanger Bracket 2. If not already affixed to the hanger bracket, place the rectangular rubber isolators between the hanger bracket and outlet box. Secure the hanger bracket to the outlet box using the 2 long steel screws supplied with the outlex box. 3. Remove the set pin and safety lock clip from the yoke on top of the motor assembly. Slide the downrod through the canopy and canopy cover. Slide the yoke cover onto the downrod (Fig. 6). Feed the wires from the fan motor through the downrod assembly. 4. (Fig. 7) Attach the downrod assembly (downrod, yoke cover, canopy and canopy cover) to the motor by sliding the downrod into the yoke on top of the motor assembly. Slide the set pin through the hole in the yoke, downrod and secure it with the safety lock clip. Tighten the set screws on yoke. The yoke cover will lower down to conceal the yoke. Feed the wires through the downrod ball. 5. Lift the fan motor without the blades and place into the hanger bracket, rotating the ball until the groove engages the tab on the hanger bracket. This locks the ball mount and fan motor, preventing fan rotation during operation.

(Fig. 16) Carefully tuck the wire connections inside the junction box. Secure the wall control with the two screws provided. Attach the wall plate over the wall control and secure with the two screws provided. Fig. 16 8. OPERATING YOUR TRANSMITTER Your DC brushless motor is equipped with an automatically learned type remote control. There are no frequency switches on the receiver; the receiver unit will automatically scan the frequency from the wall control if any changes are made. The frequency settings on the transmitter should be changed only in case of interference or if a second or more ceiling fans with the same type of control system are installed in the same structure. (Fig. 17) (If two fans or more in a house, it is recommended that you not use the factory code settings. Change codes setting to any other combination of dip switch setting to avoid fan interference issues, but users need to do control setting process as below once the code setting is changed. Please refer the "SET" code setting button section.) Remove the panel from the transmitter and then install one 23A/12V battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not use for long periods of time (Fig. 17). A. I, II, III, IV, V and VI buttons: These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows: I = minimum speed II = low speed III = medium low speed IV = medium speed V = medium high speed VI = high speed B. button: This button turns the fan off. C. Reverse button: This button is to control fan direction. This button must be pressed while fan is running (suggested speed IV). D. Light button: This button is to control optional light. Switch the "D" and "ON" dip switch on the front of transmitter to decide the light in "ON/OFF" or "Dimmable" condition. E. "D" and "ON" dip switch: The "ON" selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs execpt for CFL bulbs. The "D" selection is the light on only (no dimmable function) and is to be used with CFL and LED bulbs as CFL bulbs cannot be dimmed properly. F. NOTE: The ”SET” button must be pressed within 60 seconds of restoring power. NOTE: A single fan can be controlled with as many as 3 wall controls in one room. Every control will need to repeat the pairing process based on instructions above and all controls must be within 30 feet of the fan. Fig. 17 Code dip switch code setting button: Code dip switch. G. "SET" code setting button: Follow the below steps to use the set button. (Fig. 17) H. ON - OFF Slide button: Power switch. (Fig. 18) I. Signal light (Fig. 18) Pairing Process With the fan’s power off, arrange code switches to desired code setting only if the factory pre-set code (all 4 dip switches in “on” position) will not be used. Restore power to the fan. Press and hold “SET” button for about 5 seconds and release. If optional light kit is installed, the light kit will flash twice and the signal light on the wall control will come on when the button is pressed. The fan has completed the pairing process with the wall control and is ready for use. Fig. 18 Signal light Power switch 8. OPERATING YOUR TRANSMITTER (continued) NOTE: If multiple fans are installed on the same circuit, each fan must have it’s own switch leg. Each fan and wall control pair must have its own wire from the control to the fan(the wire from the control to the fan can NOT be shared). There can NOT be a jumper wire running from fan to fan. The receiver provides the following protective function: 1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will be locked operation and disconnect power after 30 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles before re-set. 2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 80W, the receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds. 9. FAN OPERATION AND CARE 1. A ceiling fan is an environmentally smart choice to cool as well as to help warm your home or office. Adjust your HVAC thermostat during fan use to save additional energy and money on your air conditioning and heating utility bills. You should see a significant reduction in both your heating and cooling costs by regular use of your fan. Do not hesitate to use your fan during summer and winter months. In summer, (Fig. 19) using the reverse switch, adjust the fan's direction so cool air is blown down, producing a cooling breeze. In winter, (Fig. 20) reverse the fan so that an upward airflow will push warm air off the ceiling and circulate it downwards into the living area. In winter months, use the fan at a lower speed than summer. 2. Periodically check tightness of all screws securing the blades to the blade arm attachment points. A clicking or a rattling noise is a sure indication of loosening screws. Since screws will invariably work loose over time, at least once a year, tighten all the screws attaching blades to blade arms. Do not bend blade arms when cleaning or servicing the fan. 3. Clean you fan periodically using only a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution for all hardware - never use solvents. The finish plating is lacquered to prevent tarnishing. Use a lint-free cloth with clean water to clean blades. Fig. 19 4. You will never need to oil or lubricate your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings will provide trouble free, silent operation for many years. 5. If repairs or servicing are ever required, to avoid possible electric shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse or circuit panel before you begin. Fig. 20 WINTER 10. TROUBLESHOOTING FAN WILL NOT START 1. Check that the electricity has been turned on at the circuit breaker which had probably been turned off during installation. 2. Turn off the electricity. Check all connections in the wiring of the fan at the ceiling and make sure it follows the wiring instructions outlined in this manual. 3. Be sure ON/OFF power switch on the wall control is in ON position. 4. Be sure the wall control is installed within 30 feet of ceiling fan. NOISE Note: Always allow a day or two "run-in" time for any new fan at medium or high speed. When attempting to diagnose noise, listen carefully from several sides to try and isolate the location of the noise (blade, upper end, motor, light kit, etc.) 1. Tighten all screws attaching blades to blade arms. Remember to tighten these screws at least once a year because they may loosen slowly over time and cause a clicking noise. 2. Turn off the power. Loosen the canopy and check that the wiring and/or wire nut connectors are not resting against the canopy, possibly vibrating while the fan is on. 3. Use of a standard light rheostat or an unapproved fan wall control to control the fan speed will always cause an annoying "hum". Many fan motors do not work quietly with solid state variable speed controls. 4. Check that the rubber gasket on the mounting bracket has been installed if called for in the installation instructions. 5. Check that the canopy in not touching the ceiling. 6. Check that all screws on the motor housing and the bottom housing are tight. FAN TURNS, BUT DOES NOT MOVE MUCH AIR 1. The fan may be running in reverse. Press the reverse button on transmitter to set the fan in forward operation. 2. The distance from the ceiling to the blades may be too small. For downrod fans, optimal placement would be 8-9 feet from the floor. 3. The room may contain items which obstruct the air flow. 4. The fan may be too small for the size of the room. EXCESSIVE WOBBLE Note: A small amount of wobble is considered acceptable and should not be considered a defect. 1. Make certain all blades are tightly attached to each blades' respective blade arm.
