Is there anything needed to be installed for the remote to work. I don't have wall switch for my fan now. It is wired directly.

My remote us not wired into the wall. I have it so I can use like a TV remote. Hope this answer your question. The fan is beautiful.

My handyman installed it so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I don't think so. I am pretty old fan was powered on and off by the pull from the fan. I love the fan, very pretty and super quiet on speeds 1 and 2. Speed 3 sounds like a tornado it's moving the air so fast. Four hands are needed for some of the install.

The battery has a plastic protective coating that will prevent the remote from working if not removed before use. Steve.

For the hand-held remote, nothing additional needed and it will work nicely with a direct wired fan (mine is that way). I did not opt to go with the wall switch because it's really not necessary. The hand-held remote is great.

The electrician who installed the fan, had stated that it is the best he has ever seen. The remote is aimed at the fan and a button is clicked for the light and one of the three fan speeds. It works well from half way across the room.

Ours is installed with separate wall switches. One controls light, one controls fan. I can turn each on independently of the other. Perfect. Worked out great. Don't really use remote or mess with the controls on fan itself.

Ours has a remote, but we also have an on/off switch on the wall. The wall switch does not control any of the fan functions other than on and off.

Yes, you can. I just installed the fan this past Sunday, and I didn't use the remote. It will install like any normal fan with a light kit...ground, black, white, and blue wires.

I had my fan installed and the guy used the remote from my prior fan. He attached it somehow to the new fan and it works perfectly.

Yes. I installed a remote control with mine, but if you have 2 "hots" along with neutral and ground along with the appropiate switch then no additional wiring would be required to control the fan and light independently at the wall.

Mine did not come with a pull switch. Although we are able to control both light and fan with the wall switch as well. Remote is only necessary for fan speed.

This is designed to be a simple wall switch replacement. If you only have 2 wires in the fan canopy, you are better off with a remote setup that has a handheld transmitter and receiver for the fan.

You will need to know the proper placement of the 4 switches inside the remote unless you want to install the separate piece that comes with it in the fan. Apparently the placement varies by fan model. I bought mine as a replacement remote for one we misplaced and we could not get it to work. Fortunately we found the original remote and looked at the pins, matched them up on the new one and it works great

This has to be purchased with a hunter fan that has remote capabilities. In my case the fan was remote capable so there is no further installation needed.

I set mine up with wall controls (1 gang "switch" but with separate fan and light dimmer settings, with its own remote and control system that replaces the one that came with this unit - from Lutron). I did not want to have just the remote, or a single control/switch on the wall. If you're wiring this up new, consider using 12-3 wire (versus 12-2) - the extra "line" (2 hots, 1 neutral, 1 ground) allows you more flexibility with fan/light fixtures for separate controls "at the switch." Incidentally I've had these units a little while now and both are working just fine.

Well, our fan is hooked up using the wall switch but you kind of need the remote to speed up and slow down also the dimmer is on the remote.

Just install unit at drive unit without changing connection for wall unit. Then both new remote and old wall switch will work.

It comes with a remote control and a bracket for mounting the remote control on a wall. It does not have a hard-wired wall control. Also, it would be inconvenient to turn the fan off with a regular wall switch because it won't come back up to speed when you turn the power back on; it takes a couple of clicks on the remote to do that.

There are pullies as you put it for both light and fan (3 speeds and off). No remote. I put ours on wall switches so that's also an option.

Yes, ours is installed to a double switch on the wall, and they operate independently. As well, there are two pull chains on the fan itself, so if you wire it directly, you can still operate the functions independently from the pull chains.

You can hard wire the fan to the junction box on the ceiling. This allows you to use the chains for the light and the fan speed. You must enter the room and go to the fan to operate it. Also of note is the wireless remotes available that will operate the fan from where the remote is mounted, most times at the doorway of the room. Then there is no need for a switch wired to the house circuit. Hope that helps; and remember to turn off the circuit when installing.
