6. Operating Instructions
The single zone controller works in conjunction with your Furrion single zone thermostat to manage the air conditioning system. Once installed, operation is primarily controlled via the thermostat.
Key Features and Operation:
- Temperature Setpoint Maintenance: The controller enables your AC unit to maintain a desired temperature between 60-86°F (15.5-30°C).
- 2-Fan Speed Operation: The system supports two fan speeds, which can be automatically adjusted by the thermostat in Auto mode based on the temperature differential.
- Short-Cycle Protection: This feature prevents rapid cycling of the compressor, extending the lifespan of the AC unit.
- Auto Restart: In the event of a power outage, the controller retains the last settings and automatically restarts the AC unit to those settings once power is restored. The compressor will power up after a brief delay to ensure protection.
7. Maintenance
The Furrion Single Zone Controller is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks of the overall AC system are recommended.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the controller and its connections for any signs of damage, loose wires, or corrosion.
