Frequently Asked Questions - 27209 HUNTER

How do I pair the remote with my Hunter fan?

First, ensure the fan is powered off. Then, press and hold the LEARN button on the fan's receiver (typically inside the canopy) for 3 seconds until the light blinks. On the remote, press the OFF button within 30 seconds. The fan should respond. Test by turning on the fan and light.

What batteries does the remote require?

The Hunter 27209 remote uses 2 AAA alkaline batteries (not included). To install, slide off the battery cover on the back, insert batteries with correct polarity, and replace the cover.

Why isn't my remote working?

First, check if the batteries are fresh and correctly inserted. Ensure the remote is within range (50 feet) and pointed toward the fan. Also verify that the fan's receiver is paired and not blocked. If issues persist, try re-pairing the remote.

Can I use this remote for multiple fans?

The remote is typically designed to control a single fan unless the receiver supports multiple codes. To control multiple fans, you may need separate remotes or a universal remote compatible with Hunter receivers.

How do I clean the remote?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the remote. Do not use water, cleaning solvents, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the electronics or plastic.

Is the remote waterproof?

No, the remote is not waterproof. It is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from moisture, rain, and high humidity to prevent damage.

What is the range of the remote?

The remote has an approximate range of 50 feet (15 meters) in open air. Walls and obstacles may reduce the effective range.

The remote’s light button doesn't work. What can I do?

First, ensure the fan’s light kit is properly installed and the bulb is functional. Check the battery level in the remote. If the fan has a dimming feature, the light may need to be turned on first. If nothing works, try re-pairing the remote.

Can I replace the remote if it’s lost or broken?

Yes, you can purchase a replacement remote (model 27209) from Hunter’s website or authorized dealers. Ensure it matches your fan’s receiver frequency (typically 433 MHz).

Does the remote have a wall-mount option?

The remote may come with a wall-mount bracket or allow use with a universal remote holder. Check the product packaging. You can also place it on a flat surface.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE CONTROL:

1. USE THE PULL CHAIN SWITCH TO SET THE FAN SPEED TO THE HIGH POSITION BEFORE INSTALLATION. DO NOT USE THE PULL CHAIN TO CHANGE THE FAN SPEED AFTER INSTALLATION, AS DAMAGE TO YOUR CEILING FAN OR UNIVERSAL CONTROL MAY RESULT THE SPEED OF THE FAN SHOULD ONLY BE CHANGED BY THE HUNTER CONTROL!!
2. Set the ceiling fan light kit to the ON position before installation.

Installation Instructions:

1. Install the ceiling fan according to its instructions, up to the point of making the electrical connections. Connect receiver to ceiling fan according to the mounting types shown on the next page. Determine your ceiling fan mounting type from the images on Pages 4-5. Most installations will be one of these five types.
2. If the fan is already installed, turn the power OFF at the main electrical panel. Reverse the installation procedure according to the fan instructions, to the point of disconnecting the fan wiring. Connect the receiver to the ceiling fan according to the mounting type as shown on Pages 4-5.

IMPORTANT! If your ceiling fan light kit is using incandescent bulbs, then slide the CFL / INC switch to the INC position. (Fig. 2) If your ceiling fan light kit is using compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL), then slide the CFL / INC switch to the CFL position. NOTE: When the switch is in the CFL position, the dimming feature is disabled, and you will not be able to dim the light bulbs. This feature is to protect both your bulbs and your receiver as CFL bulbs are not able to dim and will malfunction if dimming is attempted.

Low Profile Style I (Figure 1): Secure receiver to the fan plate above the motor with UL-listed cable ties (not included).

Connect wiring as shown in Figure 6. Extend antenna through one of the ceiling plate openings (approximately 3–6").

NOTE: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier canopy installation, cut the excess wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches remaining. Restrip the fan lead wires 1/2 inch. Place remaining excess wire into the ceiling electrical box as needed.

Hunter Hands-Free™ Canopy: Connect wiring as shown in Figure 6. Place receiver inside mounting bracket. Extend antenna above the ceiling mounting bracket (approximately 3–6").

Bracket Hanger: Starting with the antenna wire, slide receiver inside mounting bracket. If a ground wire mounting screw prevents the receiver from sliding into the bracket, move ground wire and screw to an unused hole at the top of the bracket or secure with a canopy mounting screw. The bracket must remain properly grounded. Connect wiring as shown in Figure 6. Extend antenna above the receiver (approximately 3 - 6").

NOTE: Some fans may have considerable excess lead wire. For easier canopy installation, cut the excess wire leaving a minimum of 6 inches remaining. Restrip the fan lead wires 1/2 inch. Place remaining excess wire into the ceiling electrical box as needed.

3 · Receiver Installation

1. Use the 2 large (orange) wire connectors supplied to connect the receiver and house wiring, then use the 3 small (blue) wire connectors supplied to connect the receiver and ceiling fan wiring. Refer to the Wiring Diagram in Figure 6.

If you are installing the remote with a Hunter Fan, the wire colors in the fan will be as follows:

Light Power = Black with a White Stripe

Fan Power = Black

Common = White

*These are only the Hunter fan wire colors. Other brands may use different colors.

1. Be sure the antenna is positioned securely, so it does not interfere with the ceiling fan motor. Do not modify or damage the antenna wire, as control performance may be reduced. After securing the receiver, antenna, and wiring, finish hanging the ceiling fan according to its instructions.

2. Restore power at main electrical panel.
