MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. The location of the fan, air circulation,

and fan size are all important factors to consider before installation.

Location

Ceiling fans have practical uses in almost every room in your home. We suggest you follow these mount-

ing recommendations as you decide where to install your Casablanca fan.

• For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of 7′ above the floor.

• Do not locate the fan in a doorway or above a swinging door.

• In any installation, the tips of the blades must be at least 18″ from the wall in order to provide

sufficient clearance for the blades.

• In bedrooms, fans work best when mounted above the foot of the bed.

• Over pool tables, be sure to provide plenty of clearance to avoid damage from

pool cues.

• In low ceiling locations, our optional Low Ceiling Adaptor (LCA)—available at

extra cost—can be used to gain 3¹/ 2″.

• In kitchens be sure to allow for open cupboard doors to clear the fan blades.

• Do not install a fan close to, or over, a pool or spa. High humidity combined

with corrosive gases will destroy the finish and warp the blades.

Fan Size

Variable fan speed capability permits the use of a full-size 52″ fan even in

smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may be needed.

When to Use Extension Poles

For best performance and best appearance,

an extension pole should be used with

your Casablanca fan when installing on

high (cathedral) ceilings or sloped ceil-

ings. Casablanca offers standard poles in

increments of 6″ up to 5′. Custom poles

are available in lengths up to 10′. See your

Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.

Note: Fan may wobble or vibrate if

pole length is not long enough and

inside blade is too close to downslope

or side wall. Extending pole length

will usually solve problem.

EXAMPLE 1

This slope is less than 32˚.

It is OK to install your fan.

EXAMPLE 2

This slope is 32˚. This is the maximum

slope that will allow the fan to hang

straight down. It is OK to install your

fan.

EXAMPLE 3

This slope is more than 32˚.

Your fan will not hang straight down, an

adaptor is necessary. Contact your local

Authorized Casablanca Dealer in regards

to purchasing a “Slope Ceiling Adaptor.”

Calculation of 32°

Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template card inserted in the

back of this manual, it provides you with a simple ‘go’ or

‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

INTELI•TOUCH© INSTALLING THE W-32 WALL CONTROL

The wall control installs in the same manner as an ordinary light switch, using an existing junction box and wiring. This

controller is designed to signal the fan microcomputer as well as perform normal switching operations. For this reason the

following precautions must be observed:

1. Use only the Casablanca W-32 wall control.

3. Do not use more than one fan per wall control.

2. Do not use any additional control with your Inteli-Touch 4. No other light fixtures or electrical appliances may be con-

nected on the circuit controlled by the W-32 wall control.

INTELI•TOUCH ♦ SINGLE W-32 INSTALLATION

CAUTION! Ensure power is turned OFF at the breaker

or fuse panel before starting installation.

W-32 is used to describe either white (-11) or ivory finish.

1. Remove the screws and switch plate from the existing

switch box.

2. Remove the screws holding the switch in the switch box.

3. Pull the existing switch from the switch box to expose the

wire connections.

4. Remove the two wires from the switch.

5. Connect the two wires just removed from the switch to

the W-32 wall control black wire and black/ white stripe

wire. Secure these connections with wire nuts.

6. Install the W-32 in the wall box with the two long screws

provided.

7. Install the wall plate with the two color matched screws.

NOTE: If wall control operation is reversed (fan switch controls

lights and light switch controls fan) turn off the power at the breaker

or fuse panel, then swap the two W-32 black/ white stripe wires.

INTELI•TOUCH ♦ DUAL W-32 INSTALLATION

CAUTION! Ensure power is turned OFF at the breaker

or fuse panel before starting installation.

SWAP THESE TWO WIRES

WHEN NECESSARY

(SEE NOTE BELOW)

To control the fan and lights from two locations (a

three-way circuit), use 2 W-32 wall controls.

1. Remove the screws and switch plate from the ex-

isting switch box and the screws holding the switch

in the switch box.

2. Pull the existing switch from the switch box to

expose the wire connections.

3. Determine which wire is connected to the common

terminal of the 3-way switch. (The terminal will be

marked on switch).

4. Remove the wire from the common terminal of the

3-way switch. Connect this wire to the remaining

black/ white striped wire on the W-32 control. Se-

cure this splice with a wire nut.

5. Remove the two remaining wires from the 3-way

switch. Connect one of these wires to a black wire

on the W-32 control. Secure the splice with a wire

nut. The remaining wire is to be connected to the

other black wire on the W-32. Secure the splice

with a wire nut.

END

LINE

6. Install the W-32 in the wall box with the two long

screws provided.

7. Install the wall plate with the two short color-

matched screws provided.

8. Installation of the second W-32 control is identi-

cal. Repeat steps 1 through 7.

NOTE: If wall control operation is reversed (fan switch controls

button to start. The words 'AUTO SPEED' show on the display. Set

the fan speed to the speed at which you are most comfortable. Once set, the fan will

increase or decrease by one speed for each 1.5°F increase or decrease in temperature.

If temperature decreases enough to turn the fan OFF, the Auto Speed indicator will

flash slowly to remind you that the fan will turn on when the temperature increases.

Note: The temperature displayed is from an electronic thermometer

built into the remote control that reads room temperature. It is not

a thermostat that controls the room temperature.

You will need to repeat this step any time you remove the remote

control batteries. Record the new channel setting in the space pro-

vided on the rear label.

having the desired channel already set in the re-

mote control.

your home during this 110 second period.

The control automatically changes the fan

channel to the new setting.

COMFORT•TOUCH ♦ DUAL REMOTE CONTROL - BASE

A second remote control can be purchased from your dealer to provide

dual remote control of one fan. Because the fan could be confused by

two controllers signaling different information it is necessary to set a

BASE control and an AUXILIARY control.

The last control manually operated controls the fan.

BASE

DISPLAY

Where two remote controls are used to control a single fan, they must

be set so that:

• BOTH controls are set to the SAME channel.

• ONE control is made into the BASE control.

• The OTHER control is made an AUXILIARY control.

(All remote controls leave the factory as a BASE).

Initial remote control settings

1. Set both the controls to operate the fan.

2. Select one of the remote controls to be the BASE unit.

BASE Check

AUXILIARY

DISPLAY

TWO CONTROLS OPERATING ONE FAN

When two controls are used for the same fan, we suggest that both controls be set for the same features

(AUTO-SPEED, SAVER, etc.) so that performance remains the same as you move from one to the other.

Remember, the fan will only respond to updates from the control that was last operated manually.
