ghost in the fan problems

That voltage is a little high, did you check the voltage at the panel? are both legs the same? if not is that circuit shareing a neutral with another? if so, check for loose neutral connections. If that is the normal voltage for your area, you might contact Casablancas tech line....

The voltage seems fine to me but there must be some interference from another source. Homeowners aren't rolling over on the remote are they????:grin:Jerseydaze said:

it may be, but thats higher than normal in my area, its usually right around 118v
Its interference from something else thats doing it. I put a fan in my great room with a hunter remote that did the same thing. Of course my wife wanted to know what kind of electrical contractor can't get a fan right in his own house.
We even sat at night hitting the remote to see if any of the neigbors lights came on .
Turns out that hunter recalled the remotes because of interferance from aircraft transponders on too close of a freqency.
I am sure if you get a different remote the problem will go away

Does a neighbor have the same controller with the same dip switch setting?

I had the same problem, I just sent the fans back for new ones.. not a problem since. Although, I just think the owner had them in security mode.

For most of us, with a meter that gets banged around from the day we get it until it is lost, 2 or even 4 volts over/under shouldn't be a great concern...as long has there is no discrepancy in the readings of other comparable branch circuits. In any case, fans should easily handle that kind of voltage.
