Arlec DCF6060 - 6 Blade 150cm Ceiling Fan Manual

Introduction

Note: This fan must be installed by a license electrical contractor.

Improperly installed ceiling sweep fans can be dangerous and expensive to repair and will void guarantee.
This fan is designed for indoor use only. Do not mount in positions where fan is subject to water or moisture. The fan must be installed so that the blades are greater than 2.1 metres from floor. All wiring must comply with the requirements of Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZ 3000. The fan blades supplied for this fan are matched to minimize wobble. If installing more than one fan do not mix blade sets.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning use of appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Mounting

1. Choose a location for the fan which will ensure adequate clearance from all objects and walls and with blade height greater than 2.1 metres from the floor.
2. At the selected mounting position, check whether there is a ceiling joist to which the fan can be secured. If there is no suitable supporting member, install a 50 x 100mm brace between ceiling joists. Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling with four mounting screws and washers. If a safety cable is provided with the fan, anchor this securely to the supporting member or mounting bracket when wiring has been completed.

3. Attach the light assembly to the main body. Firstly clip the connecting leads together, then place the mounting holes in the base of the light assembly over the screw heads in the main body.
   
   Rotate the light assembly clockwise to lock into position, then tighten screws.
   Be careful not to damage the exposed LED's of the light assembly.
   
4. To enable the fan wiring the ball joint pin needs to be removed by the following method.

1. Unscrew the locating screws
2. Slide the ball joint downwards
3. Remove pin and the push the ball joint out from the downrod.
   
   Feed the fan supply wires from fan motor housing through the downrod with upper and lower canopy fitted.
   

5. Insert ball joint pin into the downrod and fasten – reverse procedure to above.
6. Attach the downrod to fan motor housing by the following method.
   1. Remove the locating clip and support pin
   2. Loosen the fixing screws
   3. Place the downrod into the collar in the top of the motor housing.
   4. Replace the support pin and locating clip
   5. Fasten fixing screws
      
7. Hang the fan motor housing on to the mounting bracket, ensure the ball joint locating groove aligns with the notch on the mounting bracket.

This product incorporates a self learning code system:

1. Fit 12V Type 23A battery into the transmitter
2. Turn on the supply to the fan.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning on supply to the fan, press and hold the FAN ON/OFF button on the transmitter for 5 seconds.
4. A beeping sound is emitted when pairing is complete (a beep is also emitted when a signal has been sent from the transmitter).

Note: The transmitter code is not accepted for pairing after supply has been ON for more than 30 seconds.

Pairing more than one fan:
When more than 1 fan is installed e.g. FAN A & FAN B, and pairing is required each fan needs to be paired separately. Follow the steps given below to pair the fans:

1. To pair turn the Power ON to one fan only e.g. FAN 'A' and within 30 seconds of turning ON the power to the fan 'A', press and hold the FAN ON/ OFF button on the transmitter 'A' for 5 seconds. When a long beep is heard the fan is paired.
2. Turn OFF the supply to FAN 'A' which is paired and turn ON the supply to the other fan, FAN 'B'. Repeat steps C &D to pair it. To transmitter 'B'.
3. Once Fan 'B' is paired, turn ON the supply to the first fan, FAN A. Both the remotes are paired and will work independently. Note: If the battery is removed / replaced the fan needs to be paired again.

Note: Each fan must have its own means of disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. If this fan is a replacement, remove any existing wall speed controllers.

TRANSMITTER HANDSET FUNCTIONS

1. FAN ON/OFF: Press and release button to switch fan motor OFF and ON.
2. LIGHT OFF/ON: Press and release button to switch light off and on.

OPERATION

The fan is operated using the transmitter handset.

By default the remote included in the box is paired with the fan with which it is supplied.
To pair the transmitter and receiver units together follow the steps as given below.

CARE & CLEANING

Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is the only maintenance that is needed. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan, it could damage the motor or the wood blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearings. No need to oil.
This fan is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Do not allow young children to play with the fan.

WOBBLE

Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted - if they were, they could generate excessive ceiling vibration and stress on their mountings. Movement of a couple of centimetres is quite OK and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball joints to allow free movement.
Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model - some may move more or less than others.
The following procedures should eliminate any wobble. Check for wobble after each step. It is impossible to eliminate wobble completely.

1. Check that all blade brackets are tightened securely.
2. Most wobble problems result from inconsistent blade level. To check blade level, measure the distance from each blade tip to the ceiling. If measurements are inconsistent, adjustments of brackets will be required.
3. Wobble problem could also result from deviations in distance from blade to blade. To check blade separation, measure the distance from blade tip to blade tip. Should measurements vary, loosen screws connecting blades and brackets (one at a time) then shift blade to proper position and re-tighten screws.

NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR

Threaded components working slightly loose or blade carriers even slightly bent due to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. This is not covered under guarantee - but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.

BUMPS-IN-THE-NIGHT

This is the biggest cause for service calls which are outside the manufacturer's warranty. If a fan has a fault, it will be noticeable at all times. Naturally when everything is quiet at night, you will be more inclined to hear small noises which may not be noticeable at other times. Even slight power fluctuations, and mains frequency signals superimposed in you electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal.

SUMMER/WINTER OPERATION

The fan incorporates a reversing switch. Open the battery compartment and the switch is located just above the battery housing. With the switch set to the position marked "S" i.e. Summer air flow is directed downwards. This is best for summer cooling. With the switch set to the position marked "W" i.e. Winter airflow is directed upwards. This is best for winter operation, assists in moving air around the room, makes heating more efficient.
Turn the fan OFF before you change the switch position.
