SYSTEM OPERATION
This furnace is Bluetooth ready and functions with a
custom phone application designed to improve the
setup / diagnostic experience of the installing contrac-
tor. Users can see specific model information, review
active diagnostic error codes, observe system status
during operation, make system menu adjustments
such as the target runtime, add site visit notes and run
system testing of all operational modes (heat / cool /
fan) directly from the phone. The phone application is
also capable of directly updating the furnace software
anytime updates are available (the application will
automatically notify the user if updates are available).
Software update time could take approximately 15
minutes to complete. The phone must remain with-
in Bluetooth range for only the download step of an
update. The user will be notified once the download
is completed and installation begins. At this time the
phone can be removed from the Bluetooth range if nec-
essary (Note: if the phone is out of range, the user will
not know when the installation has completed or what
the existing status of the installation is).
Download the CoolCloud Phone Application and create
an account to get started. A Wi-Fi/Cellular connection
will be required for account setup.
Connecting Phone Application to Furnace
When in close proximity to the furnace, the phone
application will detect the Bluetooth Network being
broadcasted by the system. Once the Bluetooth net-
work is selected by the user, due to security reasons,
the user will be prompted for a 3 digit access code be-
fore system information can be displayed. The 3 digit
code will be displayed on the three seven segment
displays of the furnace control board. A sight glass is
located close to the control board that can be used to
see these digits. The user must enter the access code
into the phone application when prompted to do so in
order to gain access to system information. 3 failed
entry attempts will result in a new code being dis-
played on the control. If all 3 digits are not visible from
the sight glass, the user has two options to connect.
Option 1) Perform thermostat task as instructed by the
phone application to gain access. The following steps
will explain what this task involves.
• Step 1, ensure the thermostat is in an idol state (no
cool, heat or fan calls). To do this, set the thermostat
fan mode to Auto (not ON) and then remove any active
heat / cool calls. This task needs to be completed within
5 minutes of the process beginning.
• Step 2, provide any 24VAC call to the control from the
thermostat (cooling, heating or fan will work). This task
must occur within 8 minutes after the Step 1 is complete.
• Step 3, remove the call that was provided during Step
2. This task must be completed within 1 minute after the
call is provided during Step 2.
If the phone remains within Bluetooth range during the
three steps, the user will be notified when each step
has been completed and informed about what to do
next. If the user is not within Bluetooth range during
this process the phone application will still provide
instruction about what tasks to complete. After all 3
steps have successfully been completed, the user will
have access to system information once in range.
Option 2) Remove the furnace door, ensure the control
has power and then read the 3 digits. The code will
temporarily remain active after a power cycle so the
door can put back on before making the connection if
desirable. Note: power will be cycled to the control
board with this option. If it is not desirable to cycle
power to the unit for diagnostic purposes Option 1 may
be a better method to connect.
At power-up, the furnace control will display the unit
address (a two digit number) on the 2
of the three seven segment displays. After the furnace
control has completed its' internal start-up routine, the
furnace control will display the Status Menu.
The control board will display "Id L" while in idle
(stand-by) mode waiting for a call from the thermostat.
The furnace control is now ready to receive inputs
from the room thermostat.
