The system supports single and multi-zone configurations, with compatibility noted for Coleman, Airxcel, and RV Products units, excluding ZC and dual-stage 1 models. Operation is managed through the device interface and via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling control through dedicated smart device applications available on both iOS and Android platforms. The thermostat includes features such as temperature setting, fan speed control, and scheduling options.
Installation Procedures
Installation of the Micro-Air EasyTouch RV thermostat is performed via an external wall mount. The documentation details procedures for different zone configurations.
For Single Zone DC (ASY-352) installations, the process begins with gently pushing upwards on the bottom of the original thermostat to release it from the wall.
Multi-Zone OEM (ASY-350) and Single-Zone OEM (ASY-351) installations are also performed by removing the existing thermostat from its wall mount.
Following removal of the existing thermostat, the installation continues with securing the wall mounting bracket. This involves screwing the bracket into wall anchors using the provided screws. After tightening the screws, the center plastic spacer is removed. The thermostat cable is then connected to the EasyTouch RV thermostat. Finally, the thermostat mounting pins are inserted into the back of the thermostat, aligning them with the provided holes, while simultaneously pressing the unit against the wall to secure it.
Basic Operations and Interface
The EasyTouch RV thermostat offers several basic operational functions. Users can adjust the temperature, select the source, control fan speed, and switch between “Home” and “Away” modes. The thermostat also allows selection between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. Brightness adjustment is also a supported function.
The thermostat interface displays image icons to indicate system status. These icons represent states such as “System off” and “System on,” as well as settings options. Further details regarding the specific meaning of each icon are found in Appendix I of the provided documentation.
