This manual provides general instructions. Many variables can affect installation complexity and operation. Failure to correctly follow the provided instructions may result in death, serious personal injury, severe product and/or property damage, including voiding of the Lippert limited warranty.

⚠️ WARNING: Ensure that power is properly disconnected at the supply (mains and/or battery). Failure to do so may result in damage to the product and personal injury or death.

⚠️ WARNING: Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual may result in death, serious injury, unit damage, or voiding of the component warranty.

⚠️ WARNING: This thermostat control device requires 12V direct current (DC) and cannot operate from alternating current (AC) sources. Confirm that your furnace or air conditioning unit supplies 12V DC to the zone wiring harness before proceeding. Connecting the thermostat to AC will cause irreparable damage and void the warranty.

⚠️ CAUTION: Ground connections need to be tied together for ALL heating and cooling appliances in a zone.

NOTE: The thermostat module requires 12V DC power from two separate sources:

1. Power from the house battery should be applied via the main power input connector (PWR).
2. Each active climate zone HVAC unit will supply its own power to its corresponding thermostat zone connector.

Resources Required

• Cordless or electric drill or screw gun
• Appropriate drill bits
• Appropriate drive bits
• Tape measure
• Phillips head screwdriver

Preparation

Prior to Installation

NOTE: Ensure the control capabilities have been configured before the HVAC controller is mounted.

NOTE: The HVAC controller should be mounted in close proximity to any other OneControl controllers. All thermostat control leads should be run from the heating and cooling appliances to this centralized location.

Connections

1. Select configuration for each zone using the DIP switches in the top left corner of the controller (Fig. 1). Each zone has four switches:

• A. Dual-Speed Fan
• B. Heat Pump
• C. Air Conditioning
• D. LP Gas Heat

NOTE: All switches are in the "ON" position from the factory. Move the switch to the left for any function not used in each zone. For example, a zone with an air conditioner, dual speed fan, and LP gas heat would be:

• A. Dual-Speed Fan "ON"
• B. Heat Pump "OFF"
• C. Air Conditioning "ON"
• D. LP Gas Heat "ON"

Installation

The HVAC controller is a CAN bus network enabled module that integrates up to three zones of HVAC, plus a generator with hour meter and auto-start, with the OneControl system. Each zone can control one A/C or heat pump, one gas furnace, and one fan (single or dual speed). Each zone uses its own temperature sensor instead of a traditional thermostat.

Controller

1. Mount either the HVAC dual zone controller (Fig. 1) or triple zone controller (Fig. 2) by securing it to a solid surface with #8 x 1" wood screws or equivalent through each of the six mounting holes (Fig. 1A, 2A).

Figure 1 & 2 Description: These figures show the Lippert HVAC Dual-Zone Control (model 406350) and the Lippert MyRV HVAC V2 Triple-Zone Control (model 709169) boards. They illustrate the DIP switches for configuration and various connectors labeled for HVAC harness, CAN bus, Generator, and Zone inputs (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3).

Controller Installation Steps

2. Connect to DC 12V power using the main power harness (Fig. 3).

Figure 3 Description: This figure shows a 12V DC power harness with a red and black wire, terminating in a connector.

NOTE: The controller draws a low amount of current. Power and ground can be obtained from another nearby module.

3. Using the 6-pin wire harness and wire diagram, connect the outputs from the controller to the appropriate inputs on the air conditioning, heat pump, or furnace (referencing Fig. 1D, 1E on the controller diagrams). Perform this for each zone used.

NOTE: If utilizing both zone connections on a dual-zone controller, label the zone harnesses as "Zone1" or "Zone2" to prevent accidental swapping. Use "Zone3" for triple zone controllers.

4. Connect both CAN bus cables (Fig. 4) from the CAN ports on the controller (Fig. 1B, 1C) to link the module into the CAN network.

Figure 4 Description: This figure shows a coiled CAN bus cable with connectors on both ends.

NOTE: Heat pump systems must have a single-wire "heat demand" configuration. The controller does not support independent contacts for the heat pump reversing valve; it drives a single lead for heat pump demand, similar to the gas furnace demand.

NOTE: Coleman Mach systems implement this scheme in Analog Control Box setups. Ensure the installed system complies with this setup.

Harness Connections

Generator connections to the HVAC thermostat control (Fig. 5A, 6A) are made via the 6-pin connector (Fig. 5B, 6B). When wired into the generator's "running signal", the system tracks total generator running hours and can display an alert for scheduled maintenance.

NOTE: The controller implements an automatic priming cycle at the beginning of the startup sequence. A solenoid priming click will be heard a few seconds before the generator engine starts.

Figure 5 & 6 Description: These figures illustrate all harness connections to the dual-zone (Fig. 5) and triple-zone (Fig. 6) controllers. They show the location of the HVAC harness, CAN bus ports, PWR connector, and Zone connectors (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3), along with generator harness connections and color codes for various signals.

1. Connect 12V DC power and ground (Fig. 5C, 6C).

2. Connect CANBUS data wires (Fig. 5D, 6D) in the proper sequence with other OneControl system components.

3. Wire the harness to Zone 1 on the controller (Fig. 5E, 6E), Zone 2 (Fig. 5F, 6F), and Zone 3 (Fig. 6G), connecting to the OneControl system's designated zone.

Zone Sensor Installation

The OneControl Zone Sensor Kit includes a sensor with a cable, a cable hold-down clamp, and a sensor cover. A sensor must be installed in each climate zone to be controlled.

Each climate zone requires at least one temperature sensor connected between the blue with stripe "Sensor Power" lead and the blue "Zone Temperature Input" lead. The zone sensor should be installed on an interior wall, ideally between 54" and 66" above the floor.

⚠️ WARNING: Disconnect all power sources and the HVAC controller power connections before installing the zone sensor. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury from electric shock.

Location Selection

NOTE: Select a sensor location carefully to ensure proper operation of the OneControl HVAC control system. Use these guidelines:

• A. Mount the sensor at least 54" but no higher than 66" above floor height.
• B. Install the zone sensor on an interior wall. Avoid installation on outside walls.

NOTE: Do not mount the sensor in close proximity (less than 36") to direct heat or cold-air sources. Avoid locations near outside doors, windows, or corners of outside walls. Avoid areas with poor air circulation, such as under cupboards or above appliances.

Running the Zone Sensor Wire

A. The zone sensor wire must connect to the HVAC controller.

B. Using a drill and a 3/8" bit, drill a hole in the wall where the sensor will be mounted.

C. Insert the wire through the drilled hole.

D. Secure the sensor to the wall using a "P-clip" (Fig. 7) and a #8 pan head screw.

3. Cover the sensor, "P-clip", and the hole with a plastic thermistor cover (Fig. 8).

4. Secure the cover with two #4 screws.

5. Connect the zone sensor wire between the blue/white stripe sensor power lead and the blue zone temperature input lead on the pigtail harness (Fig. 5B, 6B).

Figure 7 & 8 Description: Figure 7 shows a "P-clip" used for mounting the sensor. Figure 8 shows the plastic thermistor cover that conceals the sensor and mounting hardware.
