How to Match a Ceiling Fan Receiver
Match the receiver from documentation, not connector shape alone. Verify the fan and transmitter models, receiver identifier, motor system, electrical ratings, wiring diagram, canopy fit, supported features, and pairing procedure before purchase or installation.
Capture the original configuration
With power isolated, preserve clear photos of the receiver label, connectors, wire colors, antenna, and placement before anything is disconnected. Do not rely on wire color alone; follow the wiring diagram for the exact product.
Compare the required fields
A candidate receiver should be explicitly paired with the transmitter or supplied as a matched kit and documented for the fan system.
| Field | Required match |
|---|---|
| Control pairing | Receiver model, remote model, and setup method |
| Motor and light | System type, supported functions, and ratings |
| Physical installation | Dimensions, connectors, antenna, and canopy space |
| Market | Region, voltage, and certification scope |
Install only within instructions
Turn power off at the breaker. If the replacement changes wiring, ratings, or system type, stop and use the manufacturer or a qualified electrician. Never bypass a safety device to make a receiver work.
