Just bought the Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Wireless Wall Remote and Transmitter, model number UC-9050T.
The Wireless Wall Remote has 2 black wires and 1 green (ground).
One black wire says "Connect to Power Supply (Do not connect to neutral white)"
The other black wire says"To fan (Do not connect to neutral white)"
[]------------TO POWER
|---------TO FAN
Now my question is:
The unit still has the dip-switches/frequency settings that my other hand-held remote has.
How is this really a wireless remote if I need to have a black wire running up the wall to the fan?
Or are the double black wires just a way to get the switch a little juice on the way to the fan so it doesn't need a battery? If so, couldn't I connect the black wires to an existing switch (that doesn't control the fan?)
