FAQ – Claro Wall Control
How does the Claro Wall Control work?
The wall control communicates with your fan wirelessly using RF (radio frequency), so there’s no extra wiring between the control and the fan. To set it up, press and hold the Fan ON/OFF button during installation until you hear a long beep. That beep confirms the wall control is paired with your fan.
Can I still use my remote with the Claro wall control?
Yes. The wall control works alongside your handheld remote. If you’ve added the optional SMART module, you can use SMART control as well. Pairing instructions are in the manual:

Does the wall control need batteries?
No. It connects directly to your home’s power supply, so there’s no need for batteries or replacements.
Do I need a separate isolation switch?
No. An isolation switch is built into the wall control.
Can I mount it horizontally?
Yes. The wall control can be installed either vertically or horizontally. The Claro Wall Control also supports four different orientation options, giving you greater flexibility to match your preferred installation layout.

Do I need an electrician to install it?
Yes. The wall controller is hard-wired and must be installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with local wiring regulations.
Will it replace my existing wall switch?
Yes. The Claro wall control is designed to replace your existing fan wall switch, providing control of your compatible ceiling fan from a convenient wall-mounted location.
A neutral wire is not required at the wall switch position, making installation suitable for many existing fan circuits. If you’re unsure about your home’s wiring, we recommend consulting a licensed electrician before purchasing or installation.
Can I control more than one fan with a single wall control?
No. Each wall controller operates one fan only. If you have multiple fans, you’ll need a separate wall controller for each.
Does the wall control require a neutral wire?
No. The wall control does not require a neutral wire at the switch location, making it compatible with many existing fan installations.
If you’re unsure about your home’s wiring, we recommend checking with a licensed electrician before purchasing or arranging installation.
What happens if there is a power outage?
The wall control and fan will retain their pairing after a power outage. Once power is restored, you can continue using the wall control as normal.
Still have questions?
The Claro Wall Control is a simple, reliable way to manage your Claro ceiling fan and light from one hard-wired control. It needs no batteries and has a built-in isolation switch, and it works alongside your handheld remote. Before you order, check that your fan model is on the compatibility list. A licensed electrician must carry out the installation. If you’re unsure about anything, contact our team to help you find the right setup for your home.
