Installing a ceiling fan is easier than most people imagine. Provided you use the connection from your existing ceiling light, you can have the ceiling fan installed within 45 minutes. Depending on the model, there are differences in the installation, which we would like to briefly explain here.
The Fanaway models have the advantage of pre-installed wings, all that needs to be done is to mount the suspension rod - make sure that the covers of the motor and canopy are in the correct order before mounting the hemisphere and that all screws are tightened so that the support rod has no play in the anchorage.
The ceiling bracket is attached to the ceiling using two screws; 8/10 mm dowels/screws are sufficient. With special cavity dowels, it can also be mounted on a plasterboard ceiling, provided that the substructure can bear the specified load.
Disconnect the ceiling connection from the power supply and connect the three wires of the ceiling connection to the lamp terminal of the ceiling bracket.
Next, lift the Fanaway into the holder and make sure that the ball joint engages with the pin provided. The Fanaway automatically swings straight down. Now the receiver (and the LED driver in the LED model) is pressed into the gap between the ball joint and the ceiling and the connecting cables are connected to the specified cables (clip connection).
Finally, the canopy is pushed over the ceiling mount, the cables are pushed under the cover by hand and hung or screwed into place on the sides. Now power can be applied to the ceiling connection again and the ceiling fan can be put into operation.
It is better to start the Fanaway at the highest level, as the blades extend more quickly then. Lucci air/Bayside models with a suspension rod are installed in a similar way to the Fanaway. The only thing that still needs to be done is installing the blades. Always screw the blades on hand-tight, otherwise hairline cracks can form and the blades could break off during operation.
We recommend installing the blades beforehand and then hanging the fan.
The assembly is similar for CTC models. After installing the ceiling mount, you can hang the engine block on the hook on the ceiling plate, then you have your hands free to connect the cables. For the Radar and Fraser models, first install the engine housing cover and then the wings.
Quick guide:
- Installation and connection of the ceiling mount
- Mounting the suspension rod
- assembly of the wings
- Hang the fan
- clip on the receiver
- Screw the cover over the ceiling mount
What to look out for:
- For devices with a wall switch (usually without light), the switch supplied replaces the existing wall switch and the power is regulated accordingly by the wall switch. These devices can be equipped with any AC remote control set from Lucci.
- DC motors only run properly when the blades are mounted.
- When installing multiple AC fans, 16 different radio frequencies can be set on the remote control and receiver. Or you can control multiple fans in parallel with one frequency.
- The receivers have a memory function, which means that if you turn the device off using the wall switch, the device starts again with the last function used. This means that, for example, with devices with ceiling lights, you can switch the light on/off using the wall switch as before.
