I have existing wiring and switches in which the two ceiling fans with lights were controlled by a switch and so were the fans. I am replacing both with remote control fans. My problem now is that the remote sensor on each fan only has a black and a white wire and from the ceiling are a black, red and white wire. The oringinal wiring was set up that one switch used the red wire to control the fans and the black wire to contol the lights. How do I wire a black, red, and white wire from the ceiling to only a black and white wire from the remote censor on the fan so that it works with the two switch configuration before?

Thanks, Tricia

If 1 switch works both fans, and other switch works both lights on fans. Then Connect the black/white to black on one fan, other fan, connect black/white to the red wire. Be sure to change the code on one fan(receiver and transmitter).
Is the control a handheld remote or wall mounted remote?

You will have to connect the black fan wire to EITHER the red or black ceiling wire. Cap off the unused wire.

Correction, Black of one receiver to black wire, black of other receiver to the red wire,
Change DIP switch setting on fans. Each fan receiver should match it's own control switching.
You can have all switches on both fans the same. A little trickey to get back "In Sync"
Just get the remote(If handheld)and have further away from second fan.
I appologize for saying Black/white instead of Black.

Thank you both so much for the info. Of course I got frustrated and disconnected the remotes all together. Have been running the fans, on high as there is no other speed control, by the switch. Have actually bought a switch to replace the reg. switch in wall so I could adjust fan speed but will retry wiring the remotes again.

Thanks again, Tricia
