General Guide
Figure 1 is a standard IRVC1 photo, which can control 5 slides, 2 awnings, 6
water tanks, and 10 utilities (lights, heaters, pumps). Because of differences
in RV floor plans, some models may offer less slides, awnings, and water
tanks. The utility name may be slightly different.
Utility Buttons
The utility buttons are for control of lights, heaters, or pumps. When pressed, a LED next to the button will lit up and indicate the on/off status. Please note that the names on these buttons may be different by RV floor plan.
Slide and Awning Buttons
Press the Select button to select the desired slide or awning, then press the
Retract or Extend button to operate the slide and awning. The slide/awning
movement will stop immediately if the button is released.
Note: the button has slight delay (about 0.5 second) to avoid the
accidental press.
Monitor Battery and Water Levels
IRVC1 can monitor up to 6 water tanks. The water level LED is only lit for 1
minute and goes to blank if no action. You must press the Tank Reading button
again to resume the water level display.
The battery capacity LCD will be on constantly.

the control functions. You simply go to Google Play store or Apple store to
search and

Pairing phones
This device uses smart pairing technology and no password is needed. However,
you must use iRVcontrol app to search and pair. Also the phone must be within

all functions within 50ft of RV. Not pairing is needed afterward.
The pairing is easy. After you open iRV Control App, you simply follow the on- screen message.
Notes:
- If your search in app cannot find iRVC1, it will be the following:
- The phone is not within 1FT of iRVC1.
- iRVC1 is connected to another phone. This phone must be disconnected (or put 50ft away from RV) in order for your phone to pair.
- Only one phone can be connected at a time.
- If your phone has not connected to iRVC1 for 7 days, you must do pairing again. This is a safety design.
- iRVC1 cannot be detected and paired by normal phone Bluetooth search.

Voice Control (option)
IRVC1V offersvoice control function. This voice function is different than Alexa and does not require internet connection.
Wake Up Command
The wakeup command is “Hello RV”. After panel replies” Hello”, the voice
function is ready to use. Repeat Hello RV” if you do not hear the “Hello”
reply.
Use Voice Control
The voice can do only on/off function of utilities such as lights, heaters and
pumps. For safety concern, it cannot do slide/awning operation.
After voice wake up, you must speak “Turn on” + the exact words on utility button (see above photo) to operate. You must say the exact words and cannot change order. For example, if you say “Turn” + “Entry Light” + “on”, the panel will ignore your voice command.
