Hello, I recently purchased a Lutron Maestro fan/light speed dimmer multi location system in order to have two-location hardwire control and no remote control/battery issues. I removed the Hampton Bay canopy control module and installed the Lutron canopy control module- the trouble is there are more wires going to the Hampton Bay motor and lights than the Lutron module has outputs. I took a guess based on the Lutron instructions , but failed- the result lights are on all the time with no switching and no fan. Before I take apart and take down the fan again for some more trial and error- I am hoping someone here has tried this method successfully and could share a wiring diagram to connect (or not) the 8 Hampton Bay wires to the 4 Lutron wires. Hopefully I didn't just butcher my ceiling fan- although after reading all the issues with Hampton Bay- I wish I had purchased a better fan.
Thanks, Brent |

| trelab | I wrote Rhine electronics in Taiwan for a wiring diagram and am hoping for a reply. I also called Hampton Bay and after only 3 run arounds got in touch with the correct manufacturer (out of approximately 200) for this particular model. They said they don't have a wiring diagram and I would have to contact the factory in China (maybe Taiwan). Still hopeful someone here has a functional recommendation. | 10/3/2008 11:15:10 AM |

| trelab | Rhine is the maker of the the control module (in this case model UC7058RY) in the Hampton Bay fan. | 10/3/2008 11:16:54 AM |

| cfanrepair | What wires do you have on the Hampton Bay receiver? | 10/3/2008 2:05:51 PM |

I removed the Hampton controller and replaced it with a Lutron controller (new) caps should be fine. On the Rhine controller from the Hampton: Larger diameter wires: blue white Connection block: White pink red yellow gray black And a black ground wire to the controller. On the fan itself: White black yellow red Thanks, |

| trelab | The blue wire on the controller went to a black line/hot. I combined the two white wires to neutral/white on the Lutron, the two black wires (one formerly to the blue wire) to line/black on the Lutron and the yellow to the yellow on the Lutron, and the red to the red on the Lutron | 10/3/2008 3:46:31 PM |

edit: I connected the following on the fan + Lutron controller: Line (blk) to: black on lutron, black on fan..... perhaps I should disconnect the black on the fan and cap it. Neutral (white) to: white on Lutron, white on fan Yellow Lutron to yellow on fan (presumed fan) Red on Lutron to red on fan (presumed light) |

| cfanrepair | The old receiver is specific to the fan and you cant use any other except one direct from the manufacturer. The Lutron one is no good here. Sorry. | 10/3/2008 7:09:14 PM |

| trelab | Do you know what each wire going to the fan from the controller go to and why I couldn't hardwire it without any controller if desired. If I could do that I should be able to use a Lutron controller. Thanks. | 10/3/2008 7:19:05 PM |

| cfanrepair | You couldnt, the run capacitor for the fan motor is inside the receiver, the fan cant run without it. | 10/3/2008 8:50:43 PM |
||||
| trelab | Would it not be possible to install a start capacitor? Any recommendations? | 10/3/2008 10:22:51 PM |
||||
| cfanrepair | You can, but figuring out the wiring would be quite difficult. Basically, if you have to ask, it's probably not a project you'd want to undertake. | 10/6/2008 1:48:11 PM |
