Operating Manual
Revision 1.5

The EasyTouch 352 model thermostats were designed to directly replace Coleman™, Airxcel™ and RVP™ single zone DC thermostats. The  thermostats can be used in other applications with certain electrical limitations as explained later in this document.

Installing the thermostat
There are three steps to installing the thermostat. First remove your old thermostat. Next disconnect and reconnect the wiring. Finally install the mounting pins to the wall and mount your new thermostat.

Removing the old thermostat
The larger Airxcel thermostats (approximately 5.5 inches wide by 3.75 inches tall) have a front cover that pops off. Behind the cover there are 2-4 mounting screws that must be removed. Once the thermostat is removed, pull out some of the wire from the wall and take a picture of the thermostat wiring connections to the original thermostat.
The smaller three button thermostats are mounted on a button mount similar to the EasyTouch RV mount. Slide the thermostat up and pull away from  the wall to remove this thermostat. Once the thermostat is removed, take a picture if the wiring order so it can be duplicated on the new thermostat.

Using the push button terminals
Figure 1 shows a screwdriver depressing the push button connector. The silver gate is opened for the wire to be inserted.
Releasing the button traps the wire and makes the connection.
Remove approximately 3/8 inch (1cm) of insulation from the wire to be inserted. Use a small screw driver (not provided) or similar tool to push down on  the square push button. Insert the wire in the insertion space and release the push button. Verify the connection by gently pulling on the wire. Do not force excessive wire down into the connector. If the stripped wire end is longer than 3/8 inch, cut the end so there is no bare wire sticking out when properly inserted.

Wiring the thermostat
Original thermostats can have a plug-in connector, push button connector block, or be direct wired to the RV manufacturers wiring. All EasyTouch versions of the 352 thermostats have the push button connector block. 352C models (X03 and X04 extensions) have a connector pre-wired to the connector block for those models that come with connectors.

The tables in each section below list the RVP/Airxcel/Coleman thermostat model numbers that can be used with each thermostat installation type. If your thermostat is not listed, please contact Micro-Air https://www.micro- air.com/SupportRequest to verify the thermostat you received is correct for your application. Coleman model numbers can be found in your original user’s manual and on the back side of the thermostat or the back of the mounting plate.

Note: If you purchase a connector model and find there is no connector, simple remove the wires using the push terminals.
These thermostats connect using push terminals on the back of the thermostat. Examine the original thermostat and notice the labels printed are printed as shown in figure 2. These labels correspond to the same labels on the EasyTouch thermostat. It is recommended to remove DC power when moving the wires from one thermostat to the other. Touching some wires together can trip a breaker or burn a fuse in the RV DC power circuit powering the thermostat. We also recommend taking a picture of the original thermostat wiring order so you can verify the connection order on the new thermostat.micro Air EasyTouch 352

Note: If you purchase a connector model and find there is no connector, simple remove the wires using the push terminals.
Direct wired models have wires coming out of the back of the thermostat that are connected to the manufacturers wiring harness using a crimp splice. The colors on the RV manufacturers harness can vary but the wires connected to the thermostat are always the same as shown in the chart below. Follow the thermostat wires to where they are crimp spliced to the RV wire harness. Write in the RV wiring harness colors in the chart below before making connections. Some thermostats and harnesses may not have all of the wires shown.

Gas Heat Override
This feature turns on the gas furnace from an electric heat mode when the setpoint is five or mode degrees away from the ambient temperature and heating is required. It is only available on systems that have both gas and electric heating and is only active in electric heat or cool/electric heat modes.  The feature can be disabled from the settings/ heat sources screen entered by using the dip switch icon.
If heating setpoint is 5 degrees or more above the inside temperature in an electric heating mode, the furnace will come along with the electric heater. Heat pumps will run an additional minute before shutting down and heat strips will continue to run until the set point is reached. When the furnace is actively overriding the electric heat, a furnace symbol will appear at the top of the thermostat screen.

Smart device application only features Reset device
This Bluetooth only feature allows resetting the display just as if you removed and restored power.
Calibrate Touchscreen
It is normally not necessary to recalibrate the touchscreen. This selection prompts the user to press the four corners of the display then test the calibration using three diagonal marks. This feature is only available from Bluetooth since being at the thermostat is required.
Check for updates
Checks to see if any updates are available for the thermostat. The smart device application must have internet and the thermostat must be connected to WIFI with a green WIFI symbol. Tap Check for Updates and follow the prompts.
Notifications
Notifications allow setting a minimum and maximum allowed temperature to be set. If the temperature is exceeded, the thermostat will send a push notification to your smart device. WIFI must be connected and active on the thermostat for the notification to function. Notifications will be sent for each degree of temperature change.

Installation Troubleshooting

The most common problems during installation are not matching the wires correctly and not seating the wires in the connector properly. The first step should always be to recheck the instructions and make sure the wires are seated properly.
The second most common problem is not knowing the thermostat operation. If the system is running a heating or cooling cycle, the set point will turn  red for heating and blue for cooling. When the thermostat turns white, the heat pump, heat strip and furnace should all be off. The fan may continue to run for a while after the cycle completes. If a fan is left in a manual mode it will not shut off.

Testing an output
Figure 5 is a table showing the color  label and purpose for each of the thermostat
wires. This information can be used in troubleshooting to verify that the thermostat has turned on an output and troubleshooting the output is required.
Use a voltmeter to verify that the thermostat has turned on an EasyTouch output. Set to voltmeter measure DC voltage and check for ~12 volts between the blue (ground) wire and the output terminal to be tested to see if the thermostat has turned on the output. If there is 12 volts present further troubleshooting of the component (fan, compressor furnace, heat pump, heat strip) is required. If 12 volts is not present, verify that the fuse in EasyTouch RV is still good.
