Wiring for a remote control ceiling fan with two switches
I am installing a hunter ceiling fan remote (the fan has pull chains). I have two switches on the wall one for the lights and one for the fan. So coming from the ceiling is 4 wires black, red, white, copper. The fan has a black, blue, green, white. The receiver has black (hot), white (neu), black (fan), red (light), white (comm). I understand connect black to black white to white and all that and I get that the receiver can only work on one swich and to cap off the other that's not being used. But when I do this everything is being controlled at once. When I turn my fan on the lights come on with it and the lights will work but there is a humming noise when I turn them on. Not to sure if I am wiring correctly any help would be great.

No, only one. One, either the red or the black, should only have power when the switch is on. The other should have power all the time. You can chose which one to use. If you chose to use the one that has power only when the switch is on, the switch will turn off everything and the remote will not work. If you chose the wire that always has power the switch will become ineffective. If you use both the switch will be ineffective.

The humming is more than likely because the remote you have is not specific to a ceiling fan. There are different kinds of remotes - check to see if your remote is compatibale with a ceiling fan.
FYI - There is another problem that can also affect the use of a incompatible (and some times compatible) remote for a ceiling fan, the use of the new incident light (the spiral ones) may cause the fan not dim. |
