Can I wire this fan to a light switch instead of using the pull cord?

Troubleshooting

Fan does not turn on.

Check that the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is engaged. Ensure the pull cord is functioning correctly and making contact.

Reduced airflow.

Inspect the ducting for any obstructions or kinks. Clean the fan blades and the front panel as they may be covered in dust.

Unusual noise during operation.

Ensure the fan is securely mounted. Check for any foreign objects that might be obstructing the fan blades. The ORION panel should be securely latched.

Fan continues to run after being switched off.

This may indicate an issue with the pull cord switch mechanism. Contact customer support or a qualified electrician.
