[User Guide] Anderic DC1 and DC8 Remote Control and Ceiling Fan Receiver

Thank you for purchasing the Anderic DC1 remote control and/or the DC8 ceiling fan receiver. To go to the product pages, click the links below:

Note about compatibility

The Anderic DC8 receiver is fairly universal to replace most other DC8 receivers for Monte Carlo, Casa Vieja, Hampton Bay, and Home Decorators Collection ceiling fans if your original receiver reads (located on a sticker on the side of the receiver) DC8-96SG8, DC8-56SGV-L-D, DC8-56SGYD, DC8-72SGZ-L-D-1-C, DC8-70SG7-L-D-C, DC8-60SGTF-L-1, DC8-56DFH-L, DC8-120-56NDJ-L-1, DC8-62SGZ-L, DC8-65LP17-L, DC8-56LP32-L-D, DC8-60LP30L-D, DC8-56HED-L, DC8-96SG8-L and similar models.

Although the Anderic DC8 receiver is designed to work with the largest fan known, which is the 96" fan, it seems it also works for small fans such as the 56", 72", 70", 60", 62", and 65".

Battery Installation

Remove the battery cover from the remote control transmitter and install batteries. Replace the cover.

Note: Use two 1.5V/AAA batteries (included).

Note: If not in use for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent damage to the remote transmitter. Store the remote transmitter away from excessive heat or humidity.


Dimming / Non-dimming Setting

The “DIM” selection is the light dimmable selection; the light will cycle from bright to dim to bright until the button is released. The “ON” selection is only the light ON/OFF (non-dimming function). Light will maintain the last setting if turned off.

Note: The remote control is preset with light dimming function enabled at the factory.

Note: Ensure electricity is turned off before installing the receiver (Refer to the ceiling fan instructions).

Pairing the DC1 Remote Universal Mode and Learning Mode

There is a “Universal Mode” and a “Learning Mode” with the remote control.

  1. UNIVERSAL MODE: When selecting “Universal Mode,” place the dip (code) switch at the UPPER position labeled "COMMON CODE." Your fan remote control is ready to use.

Note: If using universal mode, your fan can be controlled with other remote transmitters in the same setting.

  1. LEARNING MODE: To control the fan with a specific remote transmitter, select “Learning Mode” by placing the dip (code) switch in the lower position (L. CODE), then,
  2. Cycle the power to the fan via the circuit breaker. After restoring the power source to your fan, press and hold the “LEARN” button for at least 3 seconds. You must press the “LEARN” button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan.

Note: Power must be off for at least 10 seconds, then turned back on for the remote control learn function to take effect.

Note: If the fan is installed with a light, the light will blink twice. The remote control setting process is complete, and your fan is ready. For fans without light, check the operation using a remote transmitter.

Note: To control multiple fans, ensure the dip switches are set at the same setting. A maximum of two transmitters can control a fan.


Receiver Protective Functions

Lock protection - The DC motor features a built-in safety mechanism that prevents the blade or motor from obstructing during operation. If something obstructs the fan blades or motor, the motor will try to run five times and then stop the process after about 60 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles and reset. To reset, turn the fan off using a remote transmitter and then turn it back on. Or you may turn the power off for 15 seconds. Then, turn the power back on and activate the fan.

Overload protection (current limit) - The device limits the maximum current output from the receiver/drive when the fan or light load is increased abnormally. The fan will shut off if the fan input power exceeds the input power ratings.

Key Descriptions

  • Fan speeds: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 key - Adjusts fan speeds, with the one key being the lowest speed and the 6 key being the fastest speed.
  • Power key: Turns fans speed to off
  • Forward/Reverse key: Indicated by the two arrows. This key reverses the rotation of the fan. Press once to change the direction of the fan rotation. The fan must be running to reverse.
  • (Note: It can take a few seconds to change direction once the key is pressed.)
  • Light key: Press this button to turn the light on or off. Hold down the button to dim the light (Setting at “DIM” position), and the light will cycle from bright to dim to bright until the button is released.

Note: This remote control has an auto-resume function. The fan and light will maintain the last setting if power is cycled.


Wall Mount Installation

Install the remote control’s wall mount cradle with the two screws provided.

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS. (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.

Notes

  1. When powering on after installation, the fan may start automatically due to factory preset settings.
  2. If the fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off for at least 10 seconds and then turn the power back on) and redo the learn function setting.
  3. If there are multiple fans in the same room, please make sure the power supply for the setting fan is independent of the other fans.
  4. When turning the fan on or operating the forward/reverse function, it is normal for the fan to rotate and run in both directions for approximately 1 minute and then stop.

Installing the DC8 Receiver

DC8 Specifications:

Input: 120VAC 60Hz power supply only.

Output: 40W (Maximum) for motor. 60W (Maximum) for Light (LED)

Operating Range: Approximately 10 meters

WARNING: Do not use a wall dimmer switch to control the fan speed; this can cause damage to the fan. Do not use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed, as this can increase the risk of fire or electrical shock.



  1. Switch the power off to the fan using the circuit breaker before you begin installing the fan.
  2. Make wiring connections as indicated in Fig. 1. If installing more than one fan, refer to the last page for special considerations.
  3. Restore power to the fan.
  4. Refer to the Universal Mode and Learning Mode section above for pairing the remote control with the receiver.

Note: After the AC power is on, do not press any other button on the transmitter before the “learn” key is pressed. Doing so will cause the pairing process to fail.

After completing the steps above, you should be able to operate the ceiling fan and light. If the fan is not responding to the transmitter, please turn the power off to the receiver and repeat the pairing process. 

Multiple Fans - Special Considerations

This remote control operates one fan. When installing multiple fans that use the pairing procedure on the same circuit breaker, they must be wired up and paired individually. Failure to do so will result in the fans responding to only the most recent remote transmitter.

Turn off the power at the breaker. Wire up the first fan and leave the second fan unwired. Turn on the power at the breaker. Press and hold the Learn button on the remote control of the first fan. 


Turn off the power at the breaker. Wire up the second fan and unwire the first fan. Turn on the power at the breaker. Press and hold the Learn button on the second fan’s transmitter.
