EasyStart Bluetooth Diagnostic Manual WARNING Bluetooth operation with EasyStart is designed to provide diagnostic feedback when troubleshooting an A/C system. It should be used only by qualified HVAC technicians and HVAC engineers with a good understanding of the system. Changing fault detection, limits, and values in the Bluetooth application for EasyStart can damage the connected compressor or EasyStart under some circumstances.
EasyStart Bluetooth Diagnostic Manual Connecting to EasyStart A smart device with the EasyStart app downloaded to it is required to use EasyStart’s Bluetooth interface. EasyStart itself must be powered to establish a connection. Typically, this is when a cooling or heating cycle is called for by the thermostat. Note: Some A/C systems will shut down if a fault occurs and remove power.

If you used the scanning feature, the Bluetooth ID field will be updated with the full unique Bluetooth ID for the EasyStart it is connected to. Future connections can use this ID instead of scanning. The ID should be noted and used if more than one local EasyStart can be powered at one time.
