4. Pairing Process for Receiver & Transmitter: (Figure 3)
– The receiver and accompanying transmitter are matched
at the factory. If replacing transmitter or receiver, you must
follow the pairing process below before using the unit. The
fanSync receiver can be paired to up to five (5)
transmitters. NOTE: Smart device pairing is unlimited.
– After installing the receiver unit, set desired transmitter
code by pushing dip switches (under battery cover) up or
down to the desired positions. Once code is set, restore
power to your fan and press and hold the fan off button ( )
for approximately 1 to 3 seconds. The light will blink twice
and fan turn on to medium speed to indicate that the
pairing process is complete. Please note that you must
press the fan off button ( ) within 30 senconds after
restoring power. Re-pairing your device is not necessary
after replacing the battery. Each fanSync receiver can pair to
five different transmitters (with different dip switch codes).
If light kit uses CFL bulbs, please slide the “light dimmer
function select switch” to on/off position. If incandescent
light bulbs are installed, please slide the “light dimmer
function select switch” to dimmer position.
NOTE: Transmitters can pair to multiple receivers, when
performing the pairing process take care not to pair the
transmitter to unintended receivers. It is suggested that
fans more than seven feet apart be on separate power
switches.
CAUTION: INCORRECT WIRE CONNECTION WOULD
DAMAGE THIS RECEIVER.
1. Ceiling fan must be set at HIGH speed and light kit (If
any) in the ON position.
2. Connect wires using connectors as shown in Figure 1.
3. Once the connection has been made, slide the receiver
into the hanger bracket, taking care not to pinch the wires
The canopy comes up to cover the receiver and hanger

This document provides instructions for wiring and operating the BTCR9 Remote Control for ceiling fans. It covers the installation of the receiver, pairing the transmitter, and the functions of the transmitter and wall plate.

Device Description

The BTCR9 Remote Control system is designed to provide wireless control over ceiling fan functions, including fan speed and light operation. It consists of a receiver unit that is installed within the fan's canopy and a handheld transmitter, along with an optional wall plate for convenient access. The system is designed for ease of use and offers features for both basic and advanced control, including smart device integration.

Function Description

Receiver Unit: The receiver unit acts as the intermediary between the transmitter and the ceiling fan. It receives signals from the transmitter and translates them into commands for the fan's motor and light kit. The receiver is designed to be compact, fitting within the fan's hanger bracket and covered by the canopy. It features a dimmer switch to select between dimmer functionality for incandescent bulbs and on/off functionality for CFL bulbs, ensuring compatibility with different lighting types. The receiver can be paired with up to five transmitters, offering flexibility for multi-user or multi-location control. Smart device pairing is unlimited, allowing for extensive control options through the fanSync app.

Transmitter Unit: The handheld transmitter provides the user interface for controlling the ceiling fan. It features several buttons for various functions:

• LIGHT ON/OFF: A quick press and release of this button turns the light on or off.
• LIGHT DIMMER: Pressing and holding this button allows the user to dim or brighten the light to a desired level. Releasing the button sets the light at that level. Note that the dimming feature is not available with certain bulbs, such as CFLs.
• Fan Off: This button turns off the ceiling fan. It also plays a crucial role in the pairing process.
• Fan Speed Control: Dedicated buttons are provided to set the fan speed to high, medium, or low.

The transmitter operates using a CR2430 3V battery, which is accessible under a cover. It also includes dip switches for setting a unique code, which is essential for pairing with the receiver and preventing interference with other remote-controlled fans.

Wall Plate: The wall plate provides a fixed location for the transmitter, offering an alternative to the handheld operation. It is designed to be easily attached to a wall using provided screws, ensuring the transmitter is always accessible and neatly stored.

Usage Features

Installation and Wiring: The installation process begins with ensuring the main electricity is turned off at the fuse box for safety. The ceiling fan must be set to HIGH speed, and any light kit must be in the ON position before wiring. The receiver wires are connected to the fan and supply wires according to a specific diagram, matching colors (e.g., black to black, blue to light/live, white to white). Once wired, the receiver slides into the hanger bracket, and the canopy covers it, concealing the unit.

Pairing Process: The receiver and transmitter are factory-matched, but if either unit is replaced, a re-pairing process is required. This involves setting the desired transmitter code using the dip switches (located under the battery cover). After setting the code, power is restored to the fan, and the fan off button on the transmitter must be pressed and held for 1 to 3 seconds within 30 seconds of restoring power. A successful pairing is indicated by the light blinking twice and the fan turning on to medium speed. This process allows multiple transmitters to control a single receiver, or a single transmitter to control multiple receivers, provided care is taken to avoid unintended pairings, especially for fans less than seven feet apart.

Lighting Control: The system offers flexible lighting control. For incandescent bulbs, the "light dimmer function select switch" on the receiver should be set to the dimmer position, enabling variable light intensity. For CFL bulbs, the switch should be set to the on/off position, providing simple on/off functionality without dimming.

Smart Device Integration: A significant feature of this system is its compatibility with smart devices. Users can download the fanSync app to control their receiver via their smartphone or tablet. This extends the control capabilities beyond the physical transmitter, offering a modern and convenient way to manage fan and light functions.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement: The transmitter operates on a CR2430 3V battery. While the manual does not explicitly detail the battery replacement process, it implies that replacing the battery does not necessitate re-pairing the device, simplifying maintenance. The battery is accessible under a cover on the transmitter.

Troubleshooting (Implicit): The manual's emphasis on correct wiring and the pairing process serves as a guide for troubleshooting common issues. For instance, if the fan or light does not respond, checking the wiring connections, ensuring the fan is set to high speed and the light is on, and re-performing the pairing process are implied first steps. The warning about incorrect wiring damaging the receiver also highlights the importance of careful installation to prevent future maintenance issues.

Professional Assistance: The document advises seeking assistance from a qualified electrician if the fan or supply wires are different colors than indicated, or if the outlet box is not grounded. This ensures safe and correct installation, preventing potential electrical hazards and ensuring the longevity of the device.

In summary, the BTCR9 Remote Control system offers comprehensive and user-friendly control over ceiling fans and their integrated lighting. Its design focuses on ease of installation, flexible control options, and compatibility with various lighting types, all while incorporating modern smart device integration.
