This article will help you get the most out of your new air conditioning system: e-zone.
Download the e-zone user manual PDF here.
INTRODUCTION
Upon first power up, the system will take a few minutes to initialise. If you walk away from your screen it will go to sleep, to wake the screen simply double tap on a corner of the screen.
This is your home screen, press the large e-zone button to start the e-zone app.
MODE PAGE
The Mode screen on the e-zone app allows you to control your air conditioner’s operation.
From the Mode Screen you can perform the following actions:
- Turn the aircon unit ON or OFF;
- Set an ON or OFF Timer;
- Select the aircon fan speed;
- Set the target temperature; and
- Select the aircon mode.
Simple Timer
The Simple Timer can be used to turn the aircon unit ON or OFF after a set time. The timer can be set up for 12hours in advance. Pressing the bin icon clears the timer.
NOTE: This is a once-only timer that does not repeat each day. More advanced timers can be set up in the Scene and Events page.
Target Temperature
The Target Temperature is the temperature you would like to achieve. Press the + or - symbols to adjust the number.
Fan Speed
The aircon Fan speed can be set to low, medium, high, auto or ezfan.
ezfan allows e-zone to automatically adjust the unit fan speed based on the current number of open zones.
HANDY TIP: Your aircon unit is most efficient when maintaining a Target Temperature. Ensure your Target is set to a Temperature that is comfortable for you. Cooling or Heating a home past what is comfortable will result in higher energy usage.
Operation Mode Selector
- cool – Cool your home in summer
- heat – Warm your home in winter
- fan – Used to recirculate air within the home, a great energy efficient option if you just want to move some air around the home as only your fan in the roof space will run & not the outside unit.
- dry - This can be used to reduce the humidity in your home.
- ezauto - This will average all open zones and aim to maintain them at a temperature between the set minimum and maximum temperatures. The ezauto settings can be change in option page.
ZONES PAGE
Press Zones button on the menu bar to bring up the Zones Screen.
Pressing a Zone name toggles that Zone between ON and OFF. Zones are OFF when they are in grey colour.
There are four different types of zones in e-zone depending on the option you selected when purchasing your system.
Airflow Zone
If there is no sensor installed in a particular 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.
Zone Temperature (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 when the air conditioner is running.
Temperature Control (Optional)
If temperature control was enabled (by your dealer), different options on how e-zone will automate your zones will be available. The options are myzone, eztemp and ezauto. This is explained on the following page.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
myzone
The myzone feature makes that particular zone the “information centre” for the air conditioning unit. That means the set-point for that zone becomes the set-point the air conditioning unit will work toward. The actual measured temperature of that zone is the temperature sent to the unit for it to make its decisions about whether to start/stop or speed up/down to effectively achieve the set-point while maintaining constant airflow in the myzone.
The myzone can be any temperature controlled zone that is currently turned ON, to change the myzone to another zone press the thermometer symbol next to the zone you want to be the new myzone.
This feature can be particularly important when you have an unusually high requirement for air conditioning in a particular area. For example, a group of people watching a movie in Theatre room with all the electronic A/V equipment turned on 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 recommended that you make the largest zone the myzone and then move the myzone around as you move around the home. myzone is an optional feature available on systems where myzone has been enabled; your dealer may enable this feature depending on the way you use your system and the layout of the installation.
NOTE: myzone is not available for systems with no temperature sensors installed.
eztemp
This feature acts as an automated myzone. eztemp will automatically select the zone with the greatest difference between actual and desired temperatures. Once this zone is selected and the desired temperature is reached, a new room will be selected and the process repeated.
NOTE: This mode is only available when using cooling or heating.
There is no need to manually set a zone to be myzone. e-zone will select a zone as myzone for you. 
This feature can be particularly important when you have an unusually high requirement for air conditioning in a particular area at a given time. For example, a group of people is watching a movie in Theatre room. After two hours, they eat dinner together. myzone will transfer automatically from Theatre room to dining room when the dining room demands higher requirement. Different temperature can be set on each zone and e-zone will keep changing myzone to achieve the desired temperature for each zone.
When this option is enabled, changing the temperature in mode page and manually selecting a room as myzone is disabled. The adjustment of temperature can only be done on zone page.
ezauto
Taking eztemp to the next level, ezauto gives you full temperature automation. This feature not only selects a zone as myzone, it will also change the mode of Aircon between cooling and heating.
When enabled it will average all open zones temperature and aim to maintain them at a temperature between 20 and 24 degrees (default range). This temperature range can be adjusted in options page.
Once this feature is enabled you can select it on the main mode page.
This feature is ideal for ever-changing weather conditions, during the day and night. e-zone will change the mode to heat on a chilly morning and to cool during a hot midday. Like in eztemp, it will automatically assign the myzone to an open zone that needs a higher requirement.
When this option is enabled, changing the temperature and myzone is not allowed. e-zone will take care of it.
FRESH AIR (OPTIONAL)
If your system is fitted with the optional fresh air feature, you will find a button at the bottom of your zones screen as pictured below. Turning ON fresh air will enable your system to draw in air from outside the home.
This feature is particularly useful when the outside temperature is pleasant such as in the evenings.
To use this functionality, we recommend that you set your aircon to FAN mode and turn your fresh air ON, this will draw fresh air in from outside and distribute it throughout your home without running the outside unit; reducing your running costs.
NOTE: Having Fresh Air enabled when it is hot or cold outside, with the air-con set to cooling or heating will significantly increase electricity usage.
This optional feature requires additional hardware to be installed.
SCENES PAGE
