When you are done linking the wires and extending them, join the extension of the fan to the wire coming out from the fan rod and tape it off with insulation tape.


The last thing you need is for the two wires to touch when power passes through them.


KABOOM!!!!!! angry

Use the type of rubber insulation tape used here. The black one is common.

Use this picture as a guide to connect the wire to the fan using the new wire you bought. You may need to extend wire from the ceiling fan to the wall.

You can attach the new wire to the wire of the bulb as shown.

You will also need to extend a wire from the terminal box to the side of the light switch. As shown below.

Look for the terminal box in the room. Its a white circular plastic where many wires enter.

Open it, and look for a wire that all other wires are connected to. That is the wire bringing in power to the room. You will be able to identify it by many black wires connected to it's black wire. Look at the wire at the left in this picture.


If you notice, you will see that the wire in the right goes down to the light switch of the room. So, you won't use that one. Unless you want you fan to work with the light in your room.

If there used to be a fan in the room before, its just a matter of joining the wires to the fan wires. Live to live, neutral to neutral. Black to black (or blue), red to red (or brown).

By now you should have cut off all power to the room.

Protect yourself from electrocution!!!!!!!!!!


You may also need to change the speed control box.

If you can't do this part yourself, get someone to assist you.

Lift the fan towards the fan hanger and attach it to the hanger with the bolt you removed earlier.


Congratulations if you are able to get to this stage.

See how easy it is?

Don't forget to make the wire long enough to extent out from the rod.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 9:17am On Jan 31, 2015
Remove the bolt from the fan hook (not the bolt passing through the rubber) and place it over the fan hanger as shown.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 9:14am On Jan 31, 2015
Look for this ceiling fan hanger. If its not there, you have to buy. It's dirt cheap.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 9:13am On Jan 31, 2015
Now, the ceiling fan assembly is complete. We now have to find a way to attach the fan to the ceiling.

Fortunately, the manufacturers provided us with a fan hook. It even has rubber for reducing noise.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 9:08am On Jan 31, 2015
This step can come before or after fitting the cups.

Its your choice.

Pass a wire through the rod. There is a hole made of white rubber where it will pass through. That is where the wire will come out from.

Check the top of the motor. You will see a bolt and nut. Remove them and place attach the rod before clamping with the bolt and nut.

Try to remember which hole you removed the bolt from.


Attach the wires to the terminal of the motor.

Then return the cups to their rightful places.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 8:57am On Jan 31, 2015
Next, we have a feel of the cups. Wear them on the rod that will hold the fan in such a way that one faces up and the other faces down.

Also, the one facing down must cover the wiring and capacitors of the motor. You may need to initially remove some screws on the rod for the cups to pass through. Then you return them.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 8:51am On Jan 31, 2015
We start with the motor of the fan. Its the most important part of the device. Like the engine is to a car. Remove the engine, and see how stupid you will look if you try to start up the car.


We start by attaching the blades. Don't remove the paper washers where the blade will be placed. They serve as insulation.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 8:47am On Jan 31, 2015
Every electrical or electronic device comes with an instructions manual.

Let it guide you.

Or just follow my lead here.


Remove all the parts from the pack and place them close to each other.

Science/Technology / Re: Do It Yourself Thread: How To Install A Ceiling Fan (new Room Or Old) by irukandji89(m): 8:40am On Jan 31, 2015
By now you should have bought the fan . if not already. The method is the same for every ceiling fan.

I bought a cheap one for a room I had to stay in for some weeks. It had no ceiling fan installed prior to my stay in it.

I personally prefer ceiling fans to standing ones. Uniform circulation of air.

First, we assemble our tools and items. They include:

Spanner (size 10),

Pliers,

Screwdriver,

Insulation tape,

Belt clip (if you need to make new wiring)

Wire (if you need to make new wiring)

Installing a Ceiling Fan has to be one of the easiest things you can carry out.

Its so easy you can DIY.

Its surprising when people actually call electricians for this measly job.

So for you folks that think its rocket science, let me show you how easy it is.


Installing of ceiling fan can be of two ways:

1. For a room that a ceiling fan has never been installed. In this type of room you will have to make a wiring for the new fan. Also easy.

2. For a room that has an existing ceiling fan. You just need to replace it with the new one.


SAFETY MEASURES:

As is the case with anything and everything that involves electricity, sensible safety measures must be taken.

Wear gloves, don't handle live wire. Or if you are as paranoid as I am, switch off power in the whole house completely.

If each room has a cut out fuse, switch or remove the one for the room.

That way you are sure of working with peace of mind.

Then we start.

For each of the remaining lnbs,simply select an active tp & slide the lnb along the rail till you hit green.


I am still having problem hitting green on Amos 5 with 12216v27500 tp.

pls, pardon my pestering .....

can you please tell me the direction the final setup will face?

will it be facing east or south?

I have used sunlight and shadow method to get true north cos I don't trust the accuracy of my phone compass.

the instruction manual says the dish must face south .... but so far , no success.


I have called installers but they started arguing with me that the fec or skew of Amos 5 is not 6 o clock, I told them it had to be, so I can get other satellites, but all their tracking proved abortive.

@irukandji89.

The basic rule is to make sure the pole is PERFECTLY PLUM on all sides.
Point dish to Amos-5/Ku and the rest is history.



Mr blexxx .... good evening ... I have pointed the dish to Amos 5 using the 10804H tp ....

the skew was BTW 7-8 o clock.

but from the diagram in the installer manual, all the lnbs were skewed to 6 o clock .....

does that mean I need to track Amos 5 with my skew at 6 o clock before I can track other satellites?

Good afternoon y'all ....

Mr. Blexonmaxx .. How are you today?

Odilibe, and all other amiable ogas, I wish u all a happy weekend ... grin

Pls someone shd kindly assist me with this issue.

This srt85w dish with 5lnbs, I got a pdf manual from a fellow and in it, it was instructed that one must first find North direction and place the pole of the dish on that line.

It was also instructed that the pole must be at an angle of 45° on the said line, and the reflector dish must face South.

My question is, won't the dish face a different direction than if installed in the conventionally method of facing east (as done by Dstv n other eastern Ku satellites)?

Pls, pardon my long epistle ... And kindly provide me with an answer.

Thank you in advance.
