conditioner’s status right on the home screen.

AIR CON
Press the AIR CON button to change the following:
•AIR CON ON/OFF
•MODE allows you to change between HEAT, COOL, FAN ONLY & DRY
•FAN SPEED will change your indoor fan between LOW, MED, HIGH & AUTO
settings
•TARGET TEMPERATURE is used to change the system temperature set-
point, however, in systems with MyZoneTM functionality this control is
disabled, and the temperature is set via the ZONES screen.
Pressing BACK on any screen will take you back to the home screen.
Note: Setting very low temperatures on COOL mode, or very high temperatures
on HEAT mode will not cool or warm your zones any faster, but will cause your
air-conditioner to run for longer to attempt to achieve the target temperature.
This will result in higher energy usage.
Some air conditioning unit brands/models may not include DRY functionality.

ZONES
Press ZONES to bring up the Zones Screen:
Pressing a zone name toggles that zone between ON and OFF. The zone turns
Blue for ON, and Black for OFF.
There can be two different types of zones in e-zone depending if you chose the
optional Integrated Temperature Control (zones with temperature sensors) at
point of sale.
•Airflow Zone: If there is no sensor installed in your zone then it will be
shown as an AIRFLOW zone. In this instance, you have the ability to
control the air in 5% increments. Use the - / + buttons when a zone is
turned ON, to adjust the amount of airflow going to that zone.
•Temperature Zone (Optional): If your zone has a temperature sensor
installed, e-zone will allow you to choose your desired temperature with
the - / + buttons. e-zone will aim to maintain the desired temperature in
that zone by automatically controlling airflow while the air conditioner is
running.
NOTE: If you did not choose the optional temperature control option (ITC) at
point of sale it is not possible to add this feature at a later date, this requires
different hardware.

MyZone™ - (optional feature)
In a standard temperature controlled zone, the temperature sensor simply
manages airflow to the room while the machine is running; in the MyZone your
air-conditioner unit will respond to the temperature in this specific zone to
decide when it should start, stop or ramp up / down while maintaining a
constant airflow in the zone. MyZone must be a temperature controlled zone.
The MyZone can be identified easily, as the colour of the zone will change to
DARK BLUE & display the °M symbol. In the example above you can see the
KITCHEN is currently the active MyZone.
This feature can be particularly important when you have an unusually high
requirement for air conditioning in a particular area. For example, if you invited
a group of people over to watch a movie and you are all sitting in the theatre
with the electronic equipment on, you will have a larger requirement for air
conditioning than in other rooms in the house. Setting the theatre as MyZone
will ensure that the system continues running until the temperature set-point
for that room is achieved.
Only one temperature controlled zone can be the MyZone at any one time if you
are using multiple zones it is suggested you make the largest zone the MyZone.
To change a MyZone press & hold the zone name of the zone you wish to
nominate.

Press °M HELP to see the following screen which explains the functionality of
the MyZone.
NOTE: MyZone is an optional feature only available on systems where temperature sensors
have been installed & the MyZone feature has been enabled, your dealer may enable this
feature depending on the way you use your system & the layout of the installation.

Constant Zones
Your e-zone system may be set up with electronic Constant Zones. These are
pre-programmed zones that open up to relieve excess air pressure in your air-
conditioning system if insufficient zones are open. Constant Zones are noted
with a small letter c next to the air volume percentage of that zone see DINING
& LOUNGE in the image below.
If you have the MyZone feature enabled, the zone selected as the MyZone will
automatically take over as the first constant zone, airflow will be constant in this
zone & the temperature controlled by your air conditioner
increasing/decreasing its capacity.

Android Tablet
Great news! Your e-zone system is also an Android tablet which means you can
install your favourite apps such as News apps, Email & Weather all from the
Google Play Store.
Your e-zone tablet is permanently attached to your wall with the ability to pivot
the tablet between portrait & landscape modes so you can enjoy all your
favourite apps in the orientation for which they were designed.
To exit the e-zone app press the press home button from any screen as pictured
below
Here you can connect to a Wi-Fi network to access the Google Play Store &
download other apps etc.
If you are not familiar with the Android operating system an abundance of
information can be found on the internet.
