Hope you got one that matches your original. Open the back of the remote and observe the dip switches, little black ones. Inside your canopy is a receiver with the same bank of switches, set your new remote to exactly match the on/off settings of each dip switch in the receiver

You can give it a try, won't hurt. Otherwise you will need to drop the ceiling cover and match the DIP.

I meant to say to try the new transmitter without moving the DIP switch. If you are lucky it may work, otherwise you will need to sync both DIP's.

I agree that it won't hurt but think you chances are about 1:100 a ne one will work right out of the box.
