How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan
If you feel that you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
1. For a wall control installation you will need a three-
wire (with ground) conductor cable between the
ceiling and wall outlet boxes. This will allow you to
control the fan separately from the lights. Figure
12 is a basic wiring diagram that will control the
uplight and downlight on a switch and the fan on a
separate control. Refer to the installation
instructions and wiring diagrams supplied with the
Emerson Fan Control Owner’s Manual.
a. Connect the green grounding lead from the
hanger ball and the green grounding lead from
the hanger bracket to the grounding conductor
of supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire
with green colored insulation). Securely
connect wires with wire connector supplied.
b. Securely connect the white wire from the
downrod to the supply white (neutral) wire
using wire connector supplied. Securely
connect the black wire from the downrod to
the supply black (hot) wire using wire
connector supplied.
c. Securely connect the blue wire from the
downrod to the supply red (hot) wire using
wire connector (supplied). After connections
have been made, turn leads upward and
carefully push leads into the outlet box, with
the white and green leads on one side of the
outlet box and the black, blue and yellow leads
on the other side of the outlet box.
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity
is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is
grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice,
as it must be grounded for safe operation.

Check to see that all connections are tight, including
ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
connectors, except for the ground wire. Do not
operate fan until blades are in place. Noise and fan
damage could result.

2. Screw the two 1-1/4” threaded studs (provided)
into the tapped holes in the hanger bracket.
3. Lift the ceiling cover up to the threaded studs and
turn until studs protrude through the holes in the
ceiling cover (Figure 13).
4. Secure the ceiling cover in place by sliding
lockwashers over the threaded studs and
installing the two knurled knobs (supplied). (Figure
13.) Tighten the knurled knobs securely until the
ceiling cover fits snugly against the ceiling and the
hole in the ceiling cover is clear of the pipe.

and not pinched between the ceiling cover and the
ceiling.
