As its name would imply, the transmitter &ldquo;transmits,&rdquo; or outputs a signal that is then picked up by the receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This signal is communicated via radio frequencies&mdash;the transmitter and receiver are both set to communicate via the same frequency with another device called the dual in-line package, or DIP switch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches.jpg\" alt=\"Many red dip switches\" class=\"wp-image-16177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Many red dip switches\" class=\"wp-image-16177 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Many-red-dip-switches.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a set of DIP switches inside both the transmitter and the remote. Each switch changes the electrical circuit, thereby altering the frequency that the transmitter and receiver are attuned to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A transmitter and receiver are aligned to the same DIP switch frequency, which is what allows the two to communicate without interfering with other frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wall Switches Are Not Necessary to Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The remote control itself is all that&rsquo;s really needed to operate a remote ceiling fan. So, long as there is no problem with the remote itself or with the receiver in the fan, and as long as the fan is hooked up to power, it will work just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that it is entirely possible to install a remote-control ceiling fan without attaching it to the wall switch as the wall switch isn&rsquo;t necessary for the fan to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check with Local Building\/Electrical Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While wiring a <em>fan<\/em> to a wall switch is not necessarily required, having the <em>light<\/em> attached to the wall switch is<\/strong> according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricallicenserenewal.com\/Electrical-Continuing-Education-Courses\/NEC-Content.php?sectionID=828.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Electric Code<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing that, it&rsquo;s probably easier just to wire everything up to the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even if you still prefer not to wire your fan to the wall switch, you should <strong>double-check and take a look at your local building and electrical codes first<\/strong>. It is possible that wiring your fan up to the switch is required in your area anyway as this does have safety benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Wall Switches in Addition to Remotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the topic of safety benefits, wiring your fan up to a wall switch means that you have an additional safety measure available when working on your fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/install-ceiling-fan-without-turning-off-breaker\/\">always flip the breaker off when doing any kind of electrical work<\/a> in your home. However, having your fan hooked up to the wall switch allows you to turn both the breaker and the wall switch off when working on the fan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes it so <strong>you&rsquo;re less likely to face electrical injury<\/strong> if a passerby accidentally flips one of the switches back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of safety, having your remote-controlled fan wired to the wall can just be convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your remote malfunctions or its battery dies while you don&rsquo;t have spares, you&rsquo;ll be able to turn your fan off or on as needed without the remote.&nbsp;If you don&rsquo;t have the wall switch, you&rsquo;d have to try one or more <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/remote-control-ceiling-fan-not-turn-off\/\">alternative methods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, if someone misplaces the remote, the fan can still be operated until the remote is found. In my opinion, this benefit makes wall switches worthwhile even in chain-controlled fans because those <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-chain-broke-how-turn-off\/\">chains are always snapping<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dead battery remote ceiling fan, man wondering where is the misplaced remote ceiling fan, man with a hand in thumbs up and suggesting that a switch  can be used to turn on and off the ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-16193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Dead battery remote ceiling fan, man wondering where is the misplaced remote ceiling fan, man with a hand in thumbs up and suggesting that a switch  can be used to turn on and off the ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-16193 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/ceiling-fan-remote-dies-and-misplaced-you-can-use-switch-to-turn-on-or-off-fan-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The last benefit is just a tiny convenience.
