Emerson ceiling fans help circulate air throughout the home all year-round. Emerson fans can be operated in either direction to pull cool air up or to bring warm air down. Before wiring, the structural requirements of the installation need electrical power and the switch wires present. Wire your Emerson ceiling fan with proper tools, materials and basic electrical wiring know-how.
Instructions
1. Check the breaker at the main electrical panel to ensure the power to the fan circuit is off. Mark the circuit breaker to let others know of the work being done.
2. Test the power supply wiring at the fan box, using the voltage tester. Place one probe of the tester on the black hot wire and the other probe on the white neutral wire to conduct the test. Be sure to use a non-conductive stepladder approved for electrical work.
3. Cut 4 inches of sheathing from the power supply cable and the three-conductor cable from the switch box, using the utility knife.
4. Strip a half-inch of insulation from each of the insulated wires, using the wire strippers. The Emerson fan wires are usually stripped at the factory. The severed end of the insulation, left on to protect the stranded wiring, can be pulled off the wire ends by hand.
5. Connect the green ground wire from the fan hanger bracket to the green wire from the fan motor and the bare copper ground from the three-conductor wire from the switch box. Connect with a wire nut and tighten clockwise.
6. Connect the blue wire from the fan motor to the red wire of the three-conductor. Use a wire nut to secure together.
7. Connect the black wire from the motor to the black wire of the three-conductor cable. Secure with a wire nut.
8. Connect the white wire from the fan motor to the white wire of the three-conductor cable. Secure with a wire nut.
9. Connect the bare copper ground wire from the three-conductor cable to the copper ground from the power supply wires at the switchbox. Secure with a wire nut.
10. Connect the white neutral from the three-conductor cable to the white wire of the power supply. Secure with a wire nut.
11. Bend an open end loop in the end of the red wire at the switch box, using the needle-nose pliers. Secure the red wire to the terminal screw on either side of the switch. Tighten the screw clockwise with the appropriate screwdriver.
12. Connect the black wire from the three-conductor cable to either of the black wires on the Emerson fan control. Secure with a wire nut.
13. Cut a 6-inch pigtail length of black wire from stock with the wire cutters. Strip a half-inch from each end with the wire strippers. Bend an open end loop in one end only, using the needle-nose pliers.
14. Connect the looped end of the pigtail to the remaining terminal screw of the switch. Tighten clockwise with a screwdriver.
15. Connect the remaining black wire from the Emerson fan control and the switch pigtail to the black hot wire of the power supply. Secure with a wire nut.
16. Wrap each of the wire nuts with electrical tape. Wind the tape clockwise, overlapping onto the wires for added protection. Also wrap several turns over the switch terminal screws if a metal switch box is used.
