Congratulations! Your recreational vehicle manufacturer has equipped your RV with the most advanced RV thermostat. Your Dometic Comfort Control Center 2 thermostat (hereinafter referred to as the CCC 2 thermostat) has been designed for ease of operation and for many years of reliable service.
Features
To help familiarize yourself with the operation of the CCC 2 thermostat, review the following diagrams and accompanying text that explain the functional characteristics of this system.
Your CCC 2 thermostat is equipped with a liquid crystal display (LCD) that identifies the mode of operation (OFF, Cool, Heat Pump, Fan, Heat Strip, Auto, & Furnace or Aqua), temperature set-point, zone identification (1, 2, 3, 4), fan speed (Auto, Low, Med, High), program 1 and 2, inside temperature, outside temperature, clock, ºF/ºC, compressor delay, filter maintenance, and dehumidify operation with humidity set point. The modes of operation viewed in the LCD will vary depending on the system installed in your RV.
System Configuration & Initialization
The installer of your system will set the required system DIP switches to the ON position. In order for the CCC 2 thermostat to recognize the system zones, type of units installed and their options, a system reset must be done. Once the system is completely installed, do a system reset.
The furnace ON/OFF temperature differential should be set at this time. See “Programming & Operations” on page 7 for further information on furnace mode differential setting.
Any time a system reset occurs, the factory default settings are restored. See “Factory Preset Settings” on page 3.
In the unlikely event of CCC 2 system memory loss or dip switch setting change, the CCC 2 thermostat will require a system reset. Refer to page 11 for system reset procedure.
Your Dometic CCC 2 thermostat has been pre-programmed. Review settings below and adjust the settings to your personal comfort level.
Note: Any time the CCC 2 is in an idle stage (not illuminated) you will need to wake it up by pressing any button on the CCC 2 before it will recognize a new setting attempt.

To set the 1 degree differential, simultaneously press PROGRAM button and up button (“dIF1” will appear in the display while the buttons are pressed). To set the 2 degree differential, simultaneously press the PROGRAM button and the down button (dIF2” will appear in the display while the buttons are pressed). In this mode there are 4 fan speed selections:
“AUTO” – Auto Change Over Mode
In the AUTO mode the system will automatically change the mode of operation from cool to heat or from heat to cool. In order for this mode to operate, the zone being programmed must contain either a heat pump, heat strip or furnace heating source. When in the AUTO mode, all pre programmed operations for the heat pump, heat strip, and furnace will apply.
Auto Change Over Cooling: If the room temperature rises above the temperature set-point by 2 degrees, the air conditioner will turn ON until the room temperature reaches the temperature set-point at which time the air conditioner will cycle off.
Auto Change Over Heating: If the room temperature goes below the temperature set-point by 2 degrees, the available heat source will be cycled ON until the room temperature reaches the temperature set point at which time it will cycle OFF. If more than one heat source is available on this zone, the priority for selecting the heat source will be heat pump (first), furnace (second), and heat strip (third).
Auto Fan
When auto fan is selected the fan speed will vary depending on the difference between the temperature set-point and the room temperature. In auto fan the compressor and fan cycle On and OFF with the thermostat.
When the difference is:
Zones are established at the time of the installation of your Dometic CCC 2 thermostat. A zone is an area of cooling/heating which is controlled independently by the CCC 2 thermostat. The CCC 2 thermostat allows for four zones (Air Conditioner/ Heat Pump) to be set up and run independent of each other. If you have one air conditioner/ heat pump installed, you will have one zone. If your RV has more than one cooling/heating system, you may have 2, 3, or 4 zones.
Your CCC 2 thermostat will operate cooling and heating appliances that your vehicle manufacturer has designed to cool or heat specific areas (zones) of your RV. The CCC 2 thermostat will advise you of the number of zones in your RV. The zones are displayed 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the LCD readout. See “Quick reference to icons” on page 3. In the event your vehicle has multiple zones designed, you have the freedom of selecting different modes of operations for each zone. To change from one zone to another, press the ZONE push-button on the CCC 2 thermostat. Each time the button is pressed and released the indicator will change the zone data displayed. When the zones have been programmed, the zones in operation will be displayed.
To program each zone, simply repeat the programming steps shown in the operation section of this manual.
The Dometic CCC 2 thermostat will accommodate only one dehumidify air conditioner within the four zones. The dehumidify air conditioner can either be zone 1, 2, 3, or 4. The dehumidify air conditioner must have the DEHUMIDIFY dip switch set to the ON position when the unit is installed.
When the relative humidity is above the humidity set-point the compressor will cycle ON and if the fan is in the AUTO mode it will run on LOW speed. If LOW, MED or HIGH speed is selected the fan will run in the speed selected. When the humidity is 5% or less than the humidity set-point the compressor will cycle OFF.
The dehumidify feature does not permit operation under the following conditions:
When the system calls for furnace operation, the dehumidify feature will continue to operate unless one of the conditions above occurs.
Program 1 & 2
The Dometic CCC 2 thermostat can store two operating programs. Each program can be set on individual zones with different mode and time settings for each zone. For each event the user can program the operating mode, fan speed, temperature set-point, and the time of day for the event.
To set program 2, repeat steps 3 – 5.
Press the Program button again to save programs in memory. Depending on the time of day, program 1 or 2 will begin immediately. For instance, if program 1 is set to begin at 10:00 AM and the time of day is 10:30 AM, program 1 will begin immediately. On the other hand, if program 1 is set to 10:00 AM and program 2 is set to begin at 6:00 PM and the time of day is 7:00 PM, program 2 will begin immediately.
When program 1 or 2 is operating, the “PROG 1 or 2” icon will be displayed in the LCD. The zone will continue to operate in the programmed setting until the program is manually cancelled.
To cancel the program operation, press and hold the PROGRAM button for 3 seconds. The zone will be restored to normal operation.
CANbus Interface
The CANbus interface is designed to communicate between the Dometic CCC 2 thermostat and a CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol generator. Refer to the CANbus installation instructions for more information on installation and operation of the CANbus.
Auxiliary Heat (Heat Pump Models Only)
Auxiliary heat operation will be activated when the measured temperature of the outdoor temperature sensor is less than 30º F. If the system is equipped with a furnace, the control will select FURN heating mode for the auxiliary heat source. Auxiliary heat operation, once initiated, will have priority over a heat pump defrost cycle. Auxiliary heat operation will be de-activated and the heat pump operation will resume when the temperature of the outdoor temperature sensor is higher than 35º F.
Stage Select – Two Air Conditioner/Heat Pump Units (Select Models) On 1 Zone
This system can be configured to run two air conditioner/heat pump units using the same temperature set-point for controlling the comfort level in one zone. One unit is designated as the primary stage and the other unit is designated as the secondary stage. The power module boards in both units will use the same DIP switch selection for the Zone (for example, both will be set to Zone 2). On the unit designated “secondary” the power module board DIP switch identified as “Ext Stage” must be set to the ON position in order to configure the power module board for the on-demand secondary stage operation (in this example Zone 2 and Ext Stage DIP switches are in the ON position). In this stage configuration, the CCC 2 thermostat temperature set-point will be used for both the primary and the secondary stage air conditioner/ heat pump. Only one indoor temperature sensor is required for this configuration and it must be installed in the power module board configured as the primary control. The turn ON time for the compressors and fans will be controlled to ensure that compressors on the system start one-at-a-time. A minimum delay of 20 to 30 seconds is required between compressor starts.
Stage Select – Dual Compressor Air Conditioner/Heat Pump (Select Models)
The Dometic CCC 2 thermostat will operate an air conditioner/heat pump unit with two compressors. On dual basement air conditioner/heat pumps, a single power module board is used to control the operation of two compressors in one air conditioner/ heat pump. This system is designed to optimize comfort and operating efficiency by providing an on-demand secondary stage of operation. The CCC 2 thermostat will allow the user to set the primary temperature set-point. The set-point for the secondary stage is preset at a differential of 3 degrees Fahrenheit from the primary temperature set-point (that is , +3º F. for cooling and -3º F. for heating). Example: In the cooling mode with the set-point set to 72º F., the primary air conditioner will cycle ON when the room temperature is ≥ 73º F. The secondary stage compressor will cycle ON when the temperature is ≥ 75º F. In the heating mode with the set-point at 72º F., the primary compressor will cycle ON when the temperature is ≤ 71º F. The secondary stage compressor will cycle ON when the room temperature is ≤ 69º F.
Auto Generator Start (AGS)
On RV’s equipped with an optional AGS Kit, the vehicle generator will automatically start when any zone calls for cooling and will shut off when zones reach set point. The Auto Generator Start (AGS) function will be implemented by an individual power module board configured for this function by setting the GEN Start DIP switch ON. On the AGS power module board a relay shall be used to provide a start signal to the generator. The normally open relay contacts are utilized and the closure of these contacts provides the signal to start the generator. The AGS relay shall be activated when any zone or stage requires cooling, heat pump, dehumidifier or heat strip operation. When a zone calls for heating, cooling or dehumidification, the AGS relay shall be closed, followed by a time delay to allow the generator to warm up after which time the output relay will be activated on the zone that initiated the heating, cooling or dehumidification request. When the heat/cool and dehumidify requests in all zones have been satisfied, the AGS relay will open and the generator will shut-down.
Load Shed
The Dometic CCC 2 thermostat has provisions for Load Shedding. The AC power module board shall provide the 12 VDC source for the Load Shed signal. This 12 VDC source shall be turned ON one second before the compressor relay when the system calls for the compressor to be ON. The Load Shed source shall remain on when compressor is caused to turn OFF due to being disable by either a Freeze Sensor or a Load Shed condition. The load shed source signal will be switched to the Load Shed input by the normally open contacts or an off-board relay from the RV power management system. When the Load Shed signal is detected, the compressor shall turn OFF.
Defrost Cycle (Heat Pump Models Only)
To avoid frost formation on the outside coil and to obtain maximum performance when the outside temperature is less than 42º F. and greater than 30º F., a defrost cycle will be initiated. While operating in this temperature range the compressor continuous run time is limited to 25 minutes. When this time is accumulated, the fan will shut off, the refrigerant flow will be reversed, and the compressor will continue to run for 4.5 minutes. During this 4.5 minute period, the LCD will toggle between HP and Defrost. The refrigerant flow will then be reversed and after a 30 second delay the fan will resume operation. This cycle will remove any frost formation on the outside coil. This cycle will repeat itself until the outside temperature is greater than 42º F. If the outside temperature becomes less than 30º F. the heat pump will shut OFF and the auxiliary heat (if provided) will turn on.
Compressor Time Delay
A time delay of approximately two minutes occurs any time the compressor is required to begin the cooling or heat pump cycle.
Power Interruption
In the event the power to the air conditioner or control is interrupted, the system will restart with the previous set points once power is restored.
LCD Error Code
When the system determines that one of the faults listed below has occurred an error code will be displayed in the LCD for the zone in which the error occurred. During normal operation, a blinking zone number indicates a fault has occurred. The error code is displayed in place of the temperature set-point.
Error Code:
When your unit was installed the appropriate dip switches on the electronic control board were turned on to match your system configuration. Any time these settings are changed, a system reset will need to be done before the CCC 2 thermostat will recognize the updated selection. To do a system reset:
The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the RV. Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain and improve the performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by:
Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high outside temperatures.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving it a “head start” on the expected high outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor temperature.
For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accessories like A&E outdoor patio and window awnings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.
The manufacturer of this air conditioner will not be responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture on ceilings or other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air enters the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. During normal operation, this unit removes moisture from the air. Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on cold surfaces.
Air Filter – Periodic cleaning or replacement of the air conditioner/heat pump air filters is required. When a system fan run time exceeds 1000 hours the filter icon is displayed in the LCD. See “Quick reference to LCD icons” on page 3. When this occurs wash the filter with soap and warm water. Let dry and reinstall. NEVER run the air conditioner without the air filter in place. This may plug the unit evaporator coil with dirt and substantially degrade the performance of the unit. To reset the fan run time and clear the filter icon, hold the INSIDE and OUTSIDE buttons for three seconds. This will clear the fan run time for the current zone selected. Dometic CCC 2 thermostat: Clean the CCC 2 thermostat with a moist soft cloth. DO NOT spray water directly on the CCC 2 thermostat. DO NOT use solvents for cleaning.
In the unlikely event the unit fails to operate or operates improperly, check the following before calling your service center.
