About the Monte Carlo 5VMR72BSD Remote

If your Monte Carlo Vision 72-in shows 5VMR72BSD on its label, this is the remote to order. A 72-inch DC fan moves a lot of air even on its lower speeds, so having all six steps back makes a real difference. This replacement pairs in minutes and includes a wall bracket.

Match the number first: the fan label should read 5VMR72BSD. Setup is a learning step: cycle power, press Set within 60 seconds and let the fan finish. Inside the battery door, a small switch picks dimming for incandescent bulbs or on/off for LEDs.

  • 303.947 MHz RF
  • Learning-code setup, no DIP switches
  • Six DC fan speeds plus off
  • Reverse for summer and winter airflow

Dead remote or failed receiver?

Start with a new battery, then repeat the pairing steps. If the fan still ignores every button, the RH786R receiver in the canopy may be the problem, and a new remote will not fix it. Contact us and we can help you narrow it down.

Why the fan spins both ways during setup

After you press Set, the fan runs in one direction and then the other for about 5 minutes. That is normal: the receiver is finishing its setup with the DC motor. Leave the remote alone until the fan stops on its own, then test each button.

Before you order

  • If your fan has both an up light and a down light, this remote runs the speeds and the down light only.
  • Made for DC motor fans with the RH786R receiver, not AC fans.

Setup & Pairing

  1. Switch the fan's power off at the wall or breaker, then switch it back on.
  2. Press Set on the 5VMR72BSD remote within 60 seconds of turning the power back on.
  3. Wait while the fan spins one way and then the other for about 5 minutes; once it stops, you are paired.
  4. Set the light switch in the battery compartment to dim for incandescent bulbs, or on/off for LED and CFL bulbs.
  5. Hang the remote in its wall bracket.

Tip: pair with only this fan powered, so a nearby fan does not learn the code.

In the box: 5VMR72BSD replacement remote, wall bracket and printed instructions. The battery is not included.
