4. Configuring the Code Settings for the Hunter 85095 Remote
One of the key steps when installing or replacing the Hunter 85095 remote is configuring the code settings to avoid interference between multiple fans. The jumpers in the transmitter and receiver need to be set to the same configuration.
Step 1: Accessing the Jumpers
- Transmitter (Remote): Open the battery compartment to access the three jumper switches inside.
- Receiver: The receiver is located in the fan’s switch housing. You may need to remove the receiver from the housing to access the jumper switches.
Step 2: Adjusting the Jumpers
- Using Small Pliers or Tweezers: Gently move the jumpers in both the transmitter and receiver to set the same code.
- Example Configuration: Both the transmitter and receiver should have their jumpers aligned (e.g., in the same “ON” or “OFF” position for each switch).
- Visual Guides: Refer to Figures 1 and 2 (included in the remote’s manual) to get a clear understanding of jumper positions.
Step 3: Reassembling the Receiver
- Receiver Placement: Once the jumpers are set, carefully replace the receiver inside the switch housing. Ensure that the mounting holes align with the receiver slots to prevent any misalignment.
- Secure with Screws: Tighten the screws to secure the receiver in place, ensuring the fan is correctly connected.
5. Pairing the Remote with the Receiver
Now that the jumpers are set, you can begin the pairing process.
Step 1: Turn the Power On
- Restore the power to your fan by turning on the circuit breaker.
Step 2: Activate Pairing Mode
- Press and hold the pairing button on the remote for about 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep or the fan light blinks to indicate successful pairing.
Step 3: Test the Remote
- Test the remote by adjusting the fan speed, light brightness, and fan direction. If the fan responds correctly, the pairing was successful.
6. Troubleshooting Common Pairing Issues
If the Hunter 85095 remote isn’t working properly, try these troubleshooting tips:
1. No Response from the Fan
