If installing multiple fans of this same model in a house, how do remotes know which fan to power?
1604974
There are small switches in the remote and the fan receiver that are set in different combinations so each fan only operates on its own remote.

I am not sure because I bought only one fan. I would recommend to do a research on the "SW605 - Fan and Light Control" which is the remote control for Emerson CF550DMBS model

Thank you for your inquiry. When you install multiple fans of the same model in a home the remote controls will be able to distinguish what fan needs to be powered on or off. Each fan will have a remote control frame with a distinctive code learning radio frequency.

There are little levers in the battery compartment of the remote and on the wall controller. They are labeled 1-5 and need to be in the same position to work together. For example, if you have the wall controller set so that all the levers are "up", do the same with the remote you want it paired with. If you have another Dan and remote, make sure the levers are set differently. There is a sixth lever is for dimming control. Set it to on if you want to be able to dim your lights. This can all be found on page 10 of the Owner's Manual.

Hi Mark, thank you for the question. Although it is possible to operate multiple ceiling fans from a single remote control, we do NOT recommend it with any brand. Doing so can cause your fans to get out of sync (one off and the other on, or one on high and the other on low) and getting them back in sync becomes quite a challenge. To avoid frustration, be sure to operate each fan from its own designated remote control. We hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please contact one of our experts. They know everything, and they're sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.

Generally you would want to activate those fans with a thermostatic switch.... but no, no switches at all, just fans.

I am not sure as my electrician used the remote. It is however, an amazing fan....enjoy!

I purchased the fan which came with a remote. I purchased an additional remote so I could have one it at each of the locations I would need it. Just make sure you are purchasing the correct remote for your fan.

I think it should work, as each remote should pair with the receiver in the individual fan. Being on the same circuit would just mean that they both are powered, but you leave the main power/wall switch on and control the fans with the remote.

This switch doesn't directly control power to the fan/light -- it's simply a remote control that is powered by wire rather than battery. If you want to be able to control the fan from two doorway areas, you could certainly buy two controllers and just set both of the signal switches to the same code. I'm not sure I've answered your question but hope it helps.

there are different power feed wires required for each element in the fan (fan, main light, night light) so you can control each independently

I have no idea, since I have only this version. Perhaps you could print out the features and specifications of each fan and compare them that way.

I believe that as long as the remote has the same number of dip switches as the fan it will work

I don't know. I have replaced my ceiling fans that do not have a remotes. I found that the remotes caused problems with the fans that could not be corrected and I decided to buy fans that did not have a remote.

Instructions say yes, but it really has to do with the amount of power the fan motor draws, compared to the amount of power the switch is designed for. I played it safe and put in one for each fan.

Some fan remotes have switches inside that you can change. If it has one, great, if not, I am not sure.

Should be compatible with all of them. It does not have it's own remote head unit, so you'd have to make sure what you purchase had the head unit. Then wire the head unit to the fan, and off you go.

The fan will come paired to a remote. it will not work with both fans. There may be a way to reprogram the remote with DIP switches? The manual or a call to Minka will answer this.

I looked around for a compatible remote for my fan and it doesn't seem matter. Regardless of what type of remote you get you will have to undo the fan and wire in a new receiver. I got one that was specific to my model of fan. I had to rewire it anyway. Its not difficult to do, just a pain. Have a friend to help.
