I am installing a Hampton Bay model 740 154 Mediterranean ceiling fan /light and it seems that the remote control receiver, which is supposed to be hidden in the canopy, is too large to fit. Any suggestions?
I just bought this fan myself and was having the hardest time trying to figure out how to put that thing in the canopy as the pisspoor directions suggested.
I ended up putting sliding the receiver through the opening above the ball on the support arm. It's a pain in the **** especially if you already have the wires run in a certain direction.
Ok since you have the power off move ceiling fan box electrical box over place remote above the electrical box with the antenna sticking out replace fan power up you might have to go into attic to place the remote sensor and antenna down to outside of fan i had the same problem myself i made a cut in drywall ceiling big enough for sensor unit let the antenna hang out placed up there
i used a wall plate cut in half to match the hole i just made or you dry wall back up but if remote goes out theres now no way to get to sensor unit
little cut in drywall place sensor threw antenna hang down put plate over hole

Make sure the switches in the remote and the receiver board inside the fan canopy are set to 3

Hey, thanks for the tip, Shaggyrat. I'll try the plate switch option. I assume I just fasten it with drywall screws, since there won't be any mounting box or bracket above. Should work!
