The Quiet Power: A Professional Guide to Installing Your DC Motor Polaris Ceiling Fan Light

The Polaris Ceiling Fan Light perfectly blends natural elegance, modern comfort, and powerful yet quiet DC motor technology. This guide will walk you through the professional installation process, ensuring your ceiling fan light is installed safely and securely, providing you with comfort year-round.

While this guide provides comprehensive step-by-step instructions, ceiling fan installation involves heavy lifting and complex electrical wiring connections. If you feel uncomfortable or unsure at any step, we strongly recommend that you hire a qualified, licensed electrician from your local area.

⚠️ Part 1: Critical Safety, Tools, and Ceiling Requirements

Ceiling fans require a more robust mounting than standard light fixtures. Your Polaris Fan Light weighs over 20 kg and is a high-performance appliance. Safety and structural integrity are paramount.

Required Tools and Materials

• Absolute Safety Tools: Voltage Tester (non-contact type recommended), Safety Glasses.
• Mounting Tools: Stable Ladder (ensure it is rated for your height/weight), Phillips head screwdriver, Flat head screwdriver, Electric Drill (for mounting bracket).
• Wiring Tools: Wire Strippers/Cutters, Wire Nuts (ensure they are appropriately sized for your local gauge).

Absolute Safety Protocol (POWER OFF!)

This is the most critical step before beginning any installation:

1. Locate the Breaker: Find your home's main circuit breaker panel.
2. Shut Off Power: Locate the breaker controlling the circuit for this light and switch it completely to the OFF position. Do not rely on the wall switch.
3. Verify Power (Mandatory!): Use your voltage tester on all wires inside the ceiling junction box to confirm that the power is completely cut before touching any wires.

Structural Pre-Installation Check

The Polaris Fan Light CANNOT be installed on the following ceiling types, as it may cause noise and wobbling issues:

• Ceilings with joists + gypsum board or wood panels.
• Prefabricated ceilings (e.g., suspended ceilings).

Acceptable Installation Surfaces:

• Solid cement concrete ceilings.
• Solid wood beams.

Ceiling Requirements:

• The installation surface must be able to support a static weight of over 20 kg.
• The wood beam width (if using a beam mount) should be at least 6 cm wide.
• Sloped Ceilings: The standard Polaris is a flush/short downrod mount for flat ceilings. If you have a sloped ceiling, you MUST have contacted customer service for the compatible downrod version and accessories.

📦 Part 2: Unboxing and Inventory Check

Lay out all components and inspect for damage before you begin assembly.

Key Components to Verify:

• Central Motor Body/Housing 
• Mounting Bracket/Crossbar.
• Wooden Blades
• Acrylic LED Light Shade.
• Handheld Remote Control and Receiver
• Hardware Kit 

🔩 Part 3: Fixture Assembly (Fan & Light Structure)

Before mounting the unit to the ceiling, you will assemble the core components.

Step 1: Connecting and Securing the Wooden Blades

This is the most critical assembly step for fan balance and motor safety.

• Align the pre-drilled holes of a Wooden Blade with the corresponding mounting points on the underside of the Central Motor Body.
• CRITICAL WARNING: When fixing the blades, you MUST place the supplied gaskets between the blade and the motor. Failure to use the gaskets will lead to screw overtightening, which can damage the motor's copper wiring, affecting the fan's lifespan and stability.
• Secure the blades using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly tightened, but stop immediately if you feel resistance beyond secure fitting.

Step 2: Connecting the Integrated LED Light Plate

• Locate the LED light plate and its corresponding Light Wires connection coming from the motor body.
• Connect the plug from the light plate to the light socket/plug coming from the motor body.
• Carefully mount the LED Light Plate onto the base of the motor housing and secure it using the screws or clips provided. Ensure no wires are pinched.

Step 3: Installing the Acrylic Shade

• Align the Acrylic Shade with the slots or screw holes beneath the light plate.
• Rotate or fasten it with screws, ensuring the shade is level, centered, and securely installed onto the fan base.

🔌 Part 4: Mounting and Hardwiring (International Guidelines)

Your Polaris Fan Light is engineered with a wide voltage tolerance (AC 110V–240V, 60Hz) to be compatible with most global electrical standards (North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, Australia).

Step 1: Installing the Mounting Bracket

• Locate the metal Mounting Bracket.
• Secure the bracket to the existing junction box using heavy-duty rated screws suitable for your materials.
• The bracket must be robustly secured and rated to safely support the full 20+ kg weight of the fixture.

Step 2: The Electrical Connection (Wiring & Receiver Placement)

Since this is a DC fan, the Remote Receiver is integral to the wiring process.

• Connect the Receiver to the House Wires:
• Safety Ground: Connect the fixture's Bare Copper or Green/Yellow Stripe wire to the house circuit's Bare Copper or Green/Yellow Stripe wire, AND to the designated ground screw on the mounting bracket.
• Neutral Wire: Connect the receiver's White wire to the house circuit's White wire using a wire nut.
• Live/Hot Wire: Connect the receiver's Black wire to the house circuit's Black (or hot) wire using a wire nut.
• Connect the Receiver to the Motor Wires:
• Connect the output wires from the receiver (usually color-coded or using Molex Plugs) to the corresponding wires coming from the top of the fan motor body. Ensure these are securely plugged in.
• Tuck the Wires: Carefully tuck all spliced wires and the Receiver unit neatly inside the ceiling canopy/junction box area.
• Pro Tip: After twisting the wire nut onto each connection, gently tug on each wire to verify a secure splice.

Step 3: Securing the Fan Body

• Lift the fan assembly and align the top canopy with the Mounting Bracket.
• Fasten the fan canopy to the bracket using the final decorative screws or bolts, ensuring the entire unit sits firmly and flush against the ceiling.

✨ Part 5: Fixture Reveal and Operation Test

Congratulations! You have safely and professionally installed your Polaris Ceiling Fan Light.

1. Restore Power and Test: Return to your main circuit breaker panel, switch the power back on, and flip the wall switch.
2. Test Remote Control: Use the handheld remote to test all functions:
• Fan Speed: The DC motor has 6-speed control. Test all levels.
• Reversible Rotation: Test the reverse function for winter/ventilation use.
3. Enjoy the Comfort: Step back and admire the silent, powerful airflow and beautiful illumination of your new Polaris Fan Light!
