How to Wire Your

Ceiling Fan

Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse 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.

WARNING

!

1. If you are going to use an Emerson Remote

Control/Receiver or Wall Control/Receiver to
operate your ceiling fan, wire your fan in
accordance with the Control/Receiver
Owner’s Manual. (NOTE: The wire from the
uplight harness is orange instead of yellow.)
After wiring, return to Step 4 below.

2. If you are going to use two wall switches or

Emerson Fan/Light Controls, you will need a
three-wire (with ground) conductor cable
between the ceiling and wall outlet boxes.
This will allow you to operate the uplight and
optional Emerson Light Fixture (if installed)
from one switch/control and the ceiling fan
from a separate switch/control. (Refer to the
Emerson Fan/Light Control Owner’s Manual.)
Refer to Figure 10 and proceed as follows:
a. Connect the green grounding lead from

the hanger ball and the green grounding
lead from the hanger bracket to the
supply grounding conductor (this may be
a bare wire or wire with green colored
insulation). Securely connect wires with a
wire connector (supplied).

b. Securely connect the fan motor white wire

to the supply white (neutral) wire using a
wire connector (supplied).

c. Securely connect the fan motor black wire

to the supply black (hot) wire using a wire
connector (supplied).

d. Securely connect the fan motor blue wire

to the supply red (hot) wire using a wire
connector (supplied).

e. After connections have been made,

separate the white and green wires from
the black, blue and red wires.

f. Carefully turn the wires upward and insert

them up through the open side of the
hanger bracket and into the outlet box.
Push the green and white wires into
one side of the outlet box; push the black,
blue and red wires into the other
side of the outlet box.

3. If you are going to use a single wall switch to

control your ceiling fan, uplight, and optional
Emerson Light Fixture (if installed)
simultaneously, you will need a standard
two-wire (with ground) conductor cable
between the ceiling and wall outlet boxes.
The fan speed and uplight can then be
operated from the pull chain switches in the
switch housing; the optional light fixture can
be operated from the light fixture switch.
Refer to Figure 11 and proceed as follows:
a Connect the green grounding lead from

the hanger ball and the green grounding
lead from the hanger bracket to the
supply grounding conductor (this may be
a bare wire or wire with green colored
insulation). Securely connect wires with a
wire connector (supplied).

b. Securely connect the fan motor white wire

to the supply white (neutral) wire using a
wire connector (supplied).

c. Securely connect the fan motor black

wire and blue wire to the supply black (hot)
wire using a wire connector (supplied).

d. After connections have been made,

separate the white and green wires from
the black and blue wires.

e. Carefully turn the wires upward and insert

them up through the open side of the
hanger bracket and into the outlet box.
Push the green and white wires into one
side of the outlet box; push the black and
blue wires into the other side of the outlet
box.
