Minka Aire Universal Touch Control

NOTE: The Minka Aire WC220 Universal Touch Control™ System is equipped with 16 code combinations to prevent possible interference from or to other remote units. The frequency switches on your Receiver and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. Check to make sure the switches on both units are set to the same positions. The frequency settings should only be changed in the case of interference or if a second remote controlled ceiling fan is installed in the same structure. Any code combination will operate the ceiling fan as long as the Receiver and Transmitter units are set to the same frequency. (Fig. 1)

 

Safety Precautions
WARNING: Disconnect source of electrical power by removing the fuse or switching off circuit breakers.

  • Do not use with solid state fans.
  • Electrical wiring must meet all local and national electrical code requirements.
  • Electrical source and fan must be 115/120 volts, 60Hz.
  • Maximum fan motor amps 1.0.
  • Maximum light watts 300 incandescent only.

 


 

1. RECEIVER INSTALLATION

 

NOTE: Before the electrical power is disabled for the installation of the receiver and wall control, the light kit must be left on the on position and the ceiling fan on the highest speed.

 

Step 1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 2)

 

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from the fan to the BLUE wire marked "For Light" from the Receiver. (Fig 3).

 

Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE wire marked "AC in N" from the Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in L" from the Receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided.(Fig. 3)

 

After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

 


 

2. WALL TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION

 

WARNING! HOOK UP "IN SERIES" ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT NEUTRAL SUPPLY WIRE OF ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TO THE TRANSMITTER WALL SWITCH. DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMITTAL WALL SWITCH AND POSSIBLE FIRE COULD OCCUR.

 

Step 1. Remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall outlet box.

 

Step 2. Make the electrical connections as shown in Fig. 4. If your outlet box has a ground wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect the Wall Transmitter's ground wire to it. Otherwise connect the Wall Transmitter's wire directly to one of the screws from the outlet box. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided.

 

Step 3. Carefully tuck the wire connections inside the outlet box. Use the screws provided to secure the wall transmitter and wall plate to the outlet box. (Fig 5)

 

3. OPERATING THE WALL TRANSMITTER

 

The WC220 Touch Control™ System includes two sets of face and decorative plate color options. The wall control comes with standard white faceplate attached. If you desire to replace it with the ivory color faceplate, use your fingernail or a small flat screwdriver and gently pry it apart from the top or bottom of the plate.
