Can you buy an extra transmitter so that one remote can control two ceiling fans?

Yes... they are programmable by setting the matching the program code ( the 4 digit code that links the handset with the control box) with the one remote. I did it with my baseemnt fans ans it works fine and I just don't use the second remote.

Hi, I'm pretty sure you can set the "dip" switches on the 2 fans and the dip switches remote to the same settings to make remote control both fans.

As long as the dip switch pattern on both fans is set to the same pattern of the remote, it should control both fans.

Actually, I believe the question itself is flawed. Why purchase an "extra" transmitter if you want both fans to work on a single remote? Yes, two fans can be operated with a single remote but it will not take long until they are out of sync with each other. Press the light button and one light will come on as the other goes off. If you have at least one on a wall switch then it is relatively easy to get them back into sync. Just change the codes within the fan unit to be the same as within the transmitter. You probably will not like the results because of them getting out of sync often. Actually, I believe the question itself is flawed.

I have heard of people needing to change their settings because they where operating the neighbors fan so I don't see why you couldn't. Make sure you can return it and try it out.Good luck

If you set the transmitter and two fans to the same code the transmitter will work on both fans. However, if the fans are within close proximity to each other you may have a problem with which one you are turning on and off etc.

There are 4 in the remote and 4 in the receiver unit in the fan. Both must match.

I suppose it could work. As long as you want both fans on the same setting at the same time. You just would need to crawl up a ladder to the fan with the broken remote and put it on the same channel as this remote.

This unit has no remote control. My local big box store sells remotes for ceiling fans that control the light and multi-speed for the fan. I do not think there is room in the fan body to use the add-on kit.

Unfortunately, they are only sold as system sets. I have two sets and use the second transmitter as a spare.

No, you do not need an additional transmitter. My camera has a remote sensor on the front of the camera!

While looking at Lutron.com, I did see controls for two fans. That is what they are specifically for.

I can't honestly answer that since it is wired for a remote already. My opinion is that you can remove the current fan remote brain, which should be in the fan ceiling housing and replace it with any other remote brain.

Yes, but bear in mind that the remote has four mini-pencil switches to set an individual code to prevent interference between nearby identical units. You need the code setting of your fan receiver as both must match for it to work at all. The code setting on your receiver is readily visible once you take it down and find your fan receiver. Plan B is to try all code combinations without taking down the fan.

It's not a good idea, but technically yes. The remotes and the receivers have dip switches on them. As long as the settings on both are the same, the remote will control the fan. Therefore, if you have two fans with two receivers that both have the same settings as a single remote, it would operate both of them. However, I wouldn't assume it will control them in unison, especially if both fans are not perfectly within line of sight of each other. For that reason I would recommend a second remote (you can use the same type; it would just be controlled with a different setting). Regardless of that, will it work? Yes.

You most likely would have to purchase the remote with its receiver/controller module as I've never seen them available separately. But at the low price these things cost, I already did that just to have a spare of each on hand.

The remote will work right out of the box. If you have more than one ceiling fan you you can set the dip switch settings in the battery compartment to a different frequency setting. If you are replacing the remote you can copy the settings from your old remote over to the new one. If your fan does not have the remote feature your will need to install the controller which can be purchased separately.

You can buy the remote (including the receiver module) from Amazon. You'll might have to drop the fan assembly to install the new module into the fan housing./ I don't believe the modules are interchangeable with any/all remote controls.

Yes, you can purchase and use more than one remote. As mentiioned, if Amazon no longer offers it, contact Mace direct.They have a very helpful Customer Service Dept. that will walk you through the programming.

Yes, it can. The black box slides into the fan mounting bracket, under the ceiling bezile. Then, it's a matter of connecting all of the wires together, as explained in the instructions that come with the unit. really quitte simple. Just make sure that the code on the black box (4 position) matches the remote controls that you are using with that fan. If they do not match, the remote will not work.

Yes, you only need one transmitter and then you can add multiple chimes. Model number RC3733D is the Add-On chime.

You can't use 2 kits in the same room. In your case you need to purchase the Model 400 transmitter and Model 480 wireless receivers.
