This document is an instruction manual for the Aeratron AE+2 and AE+3 ceiling fans, covering user manual and installation guide for models with a metal hanger bracket and safety cord.

Function Description:

The Aeratron AE+2 and AE+3 are ceiling fans designed to provide airflow for cooling and to assist in circulating warm air during winter. They are equipped with a DC motor and can be controlled via a remote control. Optional accessories include an LED light kit, ceiling extension kits for various ceiling heights, and a raked ceiling kit for sloped ceilings. The fans are designed with a self-balancing system and a unique blade profile with winglets to reduce turbulence, providing more airflow with less energy and operating silently.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Models: AE+2 and AE+3
• Available Sizes: 43" (1092mm), 50" (1270mm), 60" (1524mm)
• Motor Type: DC Motor
• Control: Handheld RF Remote Control (pre-programmed, no pairing required initially)
• Standby Power: 0.49W
• Power Disconnection: Mains power disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with national wiring rules.
• Mounting: Metal Hanger Bracket with Safety Cord. Must be mounted to an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support.
• Minimum Blade Height: Blades must be more than 2.3m (7.5 feet) above the floor.
• Weight (approximate):
  • AE+2 43": 4.9Kg (10.8lbs)
  • AE+3 43": 5.5Kg (12.1lbs)
  • AE+2 50": 5.1Kg (11.2lbs)
  • AE+3 50": 5.7Kg (12.7lbs)
  • AE+2 60": 5.6Kg (12.3lbs)
  • AE+3 60": 6.5Kg (14.3lbs)
• Dimensions:
  • Height from ceiling to fan blade: 180mm (7")
  • Height from ceiling to bottom of motor housing: 275mm (10 53/64")
  • Motor housing diameter: 172mm (6 49/64")
• Colour Options: White/Silver/Black, Dark/Light wood-grain
• Optional Controls: Wall switch control, Automation control, Wifi control module (not included, contact local supplier)
• Electrical Safety: Class 5 Device with leakage to Earth. Maximum of 8 fans recommended per RCD/circuit.
• Warranty: 12 months from date of original purchase. Requires proof of purchase and installation by a licensed electrician.

Usage Features:

• Remote Control Functions:
  • Fan ON/OFF
  • Fan Speed UP/DOWN (6 speed indicators)
  • Forward / Reverse mode (counterclockwise for cooling, clockwise for circulating warm air)
  • Light ON/OFF (for optional LED light kit)
  • Light Dimming (press and hold light button to cycle from bright to dark, if LIGHT SWITCH is at DIMMING position)
• Pairing: The remote control is pre-programmed. For single fan pairing in LEARN MODE, ensure the "Learn" switch on the receiver is in "O" position, power on the fan, and within 60 seconds, press and hold the ON/OFF button on the remote for at least 3 seconds until three beeps are heard. Then switch the "Learn" switch to "X" to lock the pairing code. For multiple fans (up to 8 within a 7m radius), ensure all receivers have the "Learn" switch in "O", power on all fans simultaneously, and within 60 seconds, press and hold the ON/OFF button on the remote for at least 3 seconds.
• Isolation Switch: An isolation switch per fan is highly recommended for future programming, maintenance, cleaning, and troubleshooting.
• Environmental Benefits: Ceiling fans create airflow for a cooling sensation, reducing heating costs in winter by circulating warm air. They are most effective in humid environments. Switch off when leaving a room for energy efficiency.
• Installation Requirements: Must be installed by a licensed and qualified electrician according to local authority regulations and current wiring rules.
• Optional Accessories:
  • LED Light Kit: Attaches to the fan motor housing.
  • Ceiling Extension Kit: Available in 115mm (4 17/32"), 600mm (23 5/8"), and 900mm (35 7/16") rod lengths to adjust the fan's distance from the ceiling. Suitable for raked ceilings up to 17°.
