CAPTAIN BUBBLE FAN
Designed by Dave Ellis
Ceiling fan manufacturers are required by federal law to publish an EnergyGuide label for all models in a standardized format, including watts used, cubic feet of air moved per minute (CFM), a resulting CFM per watt efficiency value and an estimated annual cost to use the product.
These values are “weighted averages” of high and low speed performance and are intended to represent typical use. They are based on results from a standardized test gathered in a controlled environment and are furnished to help consumers and specifiers compare products.
Because the standardized test method and the EnergyGuide format has changed over the years (with significant impacts on resulting data), be sure to only compare information which has been published based on current test methods and EnergyGuide label format.
Many websites continue to provide “high speed” performance data instead of the more current “weighted averages”, making for large discrepancies. Please contact our customer support team with questions about performance data.

TECHNICAL DRAWING
DETAIL
It is also important to recognize that in a real world installation, there are a number of variables that can affect air movement patterns and volume, including ceiling height, down rod length, room size/layout, furnishings and airflow direction. It can be challenging to rely on the reported EnergyGuide information alone to determine how the airflow might feel in a given application.
Nevertheless, our EnergyGuide data shows that all Modern Fan products perform at the upper range of fans on the market. Furthermore, while DC motor fans are reaching new levels of efficiency, it’s important to remember that all ceiling fans (AC or DC motors) are inherently efficient and use very little electricity to begin with, especially when used to offset or reduce use of air conditioning.

CONTROL OPTIONS
FAN SPEED ONLY (-001)
A basic fan control used to operate a fan only (no light). Provides four speeds and comes with decora style wall plate (white only).
FAN & LIGHT - 3 WIRE (-002)
For operation of a fan with light. Requires three wires (two hot and a common neutral) for separation of fan and light operation. Provides four fan speeds, dimming function for light and comes with decora style wall plate (white only).
HANDHELD REMOTE (-003)
For operation of a fan or a fan with light. Uses only one circuit (two wires). Provides three speeds, dimming or "on/off" light function and timer options for delayed shut down. Includes handset, battery, wall mountable holder and an RF canopy receiver.
FAN & LIGHT - 2 WIRE (-004)
For operation of a fan with light. Uses only one circuit (two wires). Provides three speeds and dimming or "on/off" light function. Includes wall control, decora style wall plate (white only) and an RF canopy receiver.
WALL & REMOTE COMBO (-005)
A combination control package for operation of a fan or a fan with light. Uses only one circuit (two wires). Provides three speeds and dimming or "on/off" light function. Includes remote handset, wall mountable holder, battery, wall control, decora style wall plate (white only) and an RF canopy receiver.
MULTI-FAN SPEED CONTROL (FC-009A/FC-009B)
A three speed fan control designed to control 2-3 fans (#009A) or 3-6 fans (#009B) on a single circuit. Separate control/switching of lights must be planned if this control is to be used for fans with lights. For AC motors only; includes decora style wall plate (white only).
