How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan - CW40 Wall Control
If you feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a
licensed electrician.
▲WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
1. Installing Wall Control (Figures 1 & 2):
• With electrical power still disconnected, remove the
existing wall plate and switch.
• Make wiring connections with wire nuts as shown in
Figure 1.
– One black wire from wall control unit to black
(hot supply).
– One black wire from wall control unit to black wire
leading to ceiling outlet box.
– One green wire from wall control unit to ground wire
leading to ceiling outlet box.
• After making the wire connections, the wires should be
spread apart with the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet
box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of
the outlet box.
• After connections have been made, turn leads upward
and carefully push leads into the outlet box.
• Attach wall control unit to outlet box using the two
6-32 screws provided.
• Attach wall plate to the switch control front using the two
small screws provided.
NOTE: Blue wire MUST be capped if not installing optional light
kit.
NOTE: This step is applicable after the necessary wiring
is completed.
▲WARNING
To avoid possible fire or shock, make sure that the
electrical wires are completely inside the canopy housing
and not pinched between the housing and the ceiling.

bracket. Loosen the second shoulder screw without fully
removing it. Assemble canopy by rotating key slot in
canopy over shoulder screw in hanger bracket. Tighten
