The fan and light operate independently via the remote control. The fan does not have an option to be installed without the light kit. The fan can operate while the light is off.

The Altura family of fans has a variety of configurations. The 68" is available in either standard AC motor (Altura II) or with a DC motor (Altura DC). The 56" has a standard AC motor as does the 60 and the 48" versions. The 60 and 48" version have the manual reverse switch on the switch cup at the base of the fan. The 68 and 56" versions have the reverse function included in the remote control.

Sure you could have! It would not have been as easy as watching and following the video, but i have faith in you! You're welcome :)

That is awesome to hear! Congrats!

Nice! Thanks for letting us know. We love to hear that we saved people some $$

You're welcome!

Thanks!

A few reasons for wobble would be: 1. loose blades - make sure all blades are completely tightened. 2. Improperly seated ball in the mounting bracket - make sure ball is seated so that the slot of the ball is seated on the tab in the mounting bracket (see the 7:58 mark). Loose downrod / fan connection. - make sure the downrod is screwed into the motor collar completely and that the set screw is completely tightened. Another reason for wobble could be a loose outlet box.

For optimal performance, cap the red wire and install as directed in the manual using the black and white house wires.

Technically, yes, but it would require altering the wiring. We do NOT recommend doing this because of the color temperature changing light kit. To connect to 2 different switches, you would need to cut the fan's blue wire (light power) from the receiver plug. Then you could wire the receiver to one switch and the blue fan wire to the other switch. If you connect the light to a switch, you will lose the light control from the remote. The remote is the only way to consistently change the color temperature of the light. If connected to a switch, the light will change color temperature if turned off/on rapidly (within 4 seconds).

@@ceilingfans101 appreciate the info! I'll take a look into and if it'll be worth it. If not I'll just use the remote and one switch

that's great to hear! You're welcome!

There is an alignment post that may be stopping the canopy from twisting off. The alignment post is shown at the 3:23 mark. You have to loosen the canopy screws enough so that there is enough room for the alignment post to exit that hole and allow the canopy to twist off.

An exposed copper ground wire is completely normal and is not an issue at all.

@@ceilingfans101 thank you

By the way this was a awesome video! I put up two fan with your help ☺️

You're welcome!

Typically, if there is a switch present, there would be 2 power wires in the ceiling - one would be a constant power wire (typically a black wire) and the other would be a switch wire (typically a red wire). Sounds like the receiver was just wired to the house's black wire.

@@ceilingfans101 thank you kindly. I was able to fix it. Appreciate it ! 😊

That is great to hear. We're happy the video helped!

We didn't have any issues with the manual, but we're happy the video helped you!

you're welcome!

I include that section for fans that have that option. This fan does not have an option to be installed without the downrod. There is a hugger version of the fan (SKU 1008654974) that is designed for rooms with low ceilings.

Thanks!

If the light is connected to a switch, the light must be set to on using the pull chain (1 pull) prior to using the switch. If the light is not set using the chain, the light will not come on. Other than that, please check that all of the wiring is completely/correctly connected. If those tips do not resolve the issue, we would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service (1-855-434-2678). Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting over the phone.

That's ok. The ground wire is not required for operation.

Thanks. The video is based off of the manual. Some have no issues with the manual and some do better with a video guide. We're happy to hear that the video helped.

It has an AC motor. In general, most fans still have AC motors, but if a fan has a DC motor it will typically be called out since it is an important feature.

For this particular fan, we would suggest capping off the red wire. Please note that if the receiver is connected to a switch, the light color temperature may change if the switch is turned off/on too rapidly (typically within 4 seconds).

@@ceilingfans101 thanks that’s what I did.

If your wiring differs from the manual, we have to suggest contacting a licensed electrician to ensure wiring is connected correctly. That being said, a red wire is typically a switch wire. If that is the case, you can use the house red wire instead of the house black wire. This would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off simultaneously using the switch. Please note that if connected to a switch, the light may change color temperature if the switch is turned off/on too rapidly (within 4 seconds).

Thanks for the comment. While the screw may thread into an optional extension downrod, the screw for this particular downrod does not and is more of a tension screw to hold the ball in place. If the screw ever comes out, the ball will still be held by the redundant safety bar that goes through the downrod.

Correct. The fan requires there to be an outlet box that is clearly marked "acceptable for fan support"

Both of the light kit wires have black protection around them and it may need to be pushed down to see the color wires.

the installation is the same for s mounting on an angle. The only difference is the opening of the mounting bracket (where the ball of the downrod inserts) must face the peak of the ceiling angle so that the ball/downrod does not slide out of the mounting bracket.

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

Each remote and receiver pair need to be set to a unique dip switch setting so that each remote only controls the intended fan. This is covered in detail in the video. Fast forward to the 4:06 mark "Preparing the remote and receiver"

Make sure that the slot of the ball is seated properly in the mounting bracket and that the set screw is completely tightened on the motor collar. The downrod should not move when the fan is operating. If that doesn't resolve your issue, we would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678).

Your only option is to call Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460 to order a replacement remote.

@@ceilingfans101 thank you so much for replying!

If you are not sure about wiring, we have to suggest contacting a licensed electrician. That being said, a red wire is typically a switch wire. If that is the case, you can use the red wire instead of the house black wire, or use the red wire to power the light (fan blue wire).

To change the direction, slide the motor collar up the downrod. Once the otor collar is slid all the way up, you will be able to access the reverse switch. The reverse switch is located on the black switch housing on the top of the fan.

on high speed, the fan rotates at 160 RPM

thanks!

We're happy to hear that the video helped!
