What fan is this?

[henrye]

Hello, I need to find instructions for this fan but first I need to identify it.  Its a hunter model with reversible blades (white on one side, wood look on the other).

it had one pull string and one light socket.

Can someone help me identify it?

When I came to attach the fan, it only has 2 wires coming from it.  One white, and one black.  When I connect them to the corresponding ceiling wires, only the light come on.  I can't figure out how to get the fan to work, and why there isn't a hot wire for the fan.  From what I understand, most fans have more than 2 wires.  Can someone help me understand?  Thank you in advance

That is the motor of a Hunter Studio Series remote control ceiling fan from the '90s. The one pull chain is from the light kit; the fan itself lacks pull chains. It was supposed to come with a full function remote control system.

The hot wire for the fan is the black wire. What you should do, since there doesn't appear to be a third, blue wire, due to what seems to be a proprietary Hunter control system (the blue wire is a second hot wire for a potential light kit that most fans have, but many proprietary Hunter fan control systems would omit), is examine the fan's wiring inside the switch housing, which is what the light kit mounts to. If there is a remote control receiver there, then all you have to do is find the remote control transmitter this fan uses, which is easy. The transmitter is model #UC7848T, and I'll link it here: www.ebay.com/p/UC7848T-OEM-Hunter-Fan-Remote-Control-with-Wall-Holder/668936042

If your fan has the necessary remote control receiver, then this solves your problem. All you'd need to do is make sure the dip switches (a series of around four or five small levers in either the up or down position on both the remote control receiver and the transmitter unit) are in the same sequence so the transmitter and receiver are paired, then mount the blades on your fan and enjoy.

Now, if there is no remote control receiver, or your receiver doesn't work even after ensuring the dip switch sequences between receiver and transmitter are the same (sometimes the dip switches are situated upside down so be careful about those), then you'd have to try to find the whole remote control system for the fan, which will be extremely hard (trying to find the receiver) because this version of the Hunter Studio Series fan was more obscure than the normal pull chain version. But, if you get massively lucky and find a receiver, then you're fine. Otherwise, getting your fan to work involves undertaking a project. If your fan doesn't have a receiver unit, please do reply to this post; I will get back to you with how to deal with that.

Good luck!
