A handheld remote, and a small black receiver module that gets\n      wired inside the fan's canopy.

Press a timer button and the fan runs for that long and then\n      stops on its own.

Work overhead, on a circuit you have to isolate yourself, with a fan hanging off\n      it, is not the place to learn. An electrician will also tell you in two minutes whether your particular fan\n      can take this kit at all, which is the other thing worth knowing before you start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe have not been able to verify a UL, ETL or CSA safety listing for this kit.\u003c\/strong\u003e The\n      manufacturer does not state one, and we could not find one on file. Some kits in this category do carry one\n      and say so.

Three speeds and a pull chain usually means an AC motor, which is what this is built for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt does not reverse the fan.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no direction control on the remote and none in\n        the receiver.

The receiver is a rigid block that has to live inside the canopy — the shallow dome where\n      the fan meets the ceiling — alongside the wiring that is already in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eBefore you buy, take the canopy down and look. If there is not a clear space roughly the size of a deck of\n      cards, this receiver will not go in, and no amount of persuasion will change that.
