Introduction
Coleman™or Airxcel™Air conditioners are used throughout the RV industry for many years.
EasyStart is a great companion to achieve low current starts on these units.
The information contained in this manual can be used to install EasyStart on most Coleman™
brand air conditioning units. Similar models are grouped together as the installation is very comparable
for these units.
Safety first
Follow standard electrical safety guidelines for your locality when working with your air
conditioner. If you are uncomfortable working on your air conditioner, please seek professional help
from RV dealers, electricians or HVAC service installers to complete the installation of this product.
An air conditioner is a high voltage AC device that can cause an electric shock. The voltage inside
can cause severe injury or death if improperly handled. Always be sure power is removed from the
entire RV or boat before working on the air conditioner.
Many air conditioners are installed on the top of RV’s where there is a significant risk of falling.
Be sure to mitigate that risk where ever possible and use safety equipment and assistance where
required.

Making a good crimp
Good crimps are essential for a long-lasting, reliable installation. There are many informative
guides, videos and tool recommendations on the internet. Please consult this excellent reference if you
are unfamiliar with crimping connectors or need to purchase a tool.
Moderately tug on the crimp joint after making your crimp to be sure the joint was properly
made. If the wire pulls out, the joint was not done correctly and must be redone. It is better to test
every joint during the install than to find out on a hot day that the crimp failed!
Installation kit for Coleman Mach (KIT-364-CM1)
(Note some of the items in this kit are meant for use in the Coleman low-profile systems as well, and will
therefore not be used in this described installation.)

2. Wire Ties
3. Yellow female quick-connect (ES WHITE
wire)
4. Male quick-connect
5. Piggy-back quick-connect

Wiring diagram
A Coleman AC may be factory configured four different ways as shown in the factory diagram
above. The dash outlined block on the left where EasyStart is connected shows a PTCR and start
capacitor. The right dashed block shows a start relay configuration. The dashed components inside each
block show that those components may not be installed in either configuration. There may be 2 or 3
capacitors inside of the electric box.
EasyStart installs the same way regardless of the configuration used in your air conditioner.
Follow the instructions in this manual to correctly install EasyStart.

Mounting locations
Image 1
The blue arrows in image 1 above show possible mounting locations. This can vary depending on
how the tubing is run in this part of the air conditioner. Use the double-sided tape included in the
optional installation kit to secure EasyStart to the Air Conditioner. The wire exit should be pointing down
or the box should be mounted parallel to the bottom of the cabinet.
Clean and dry the selected mounting area. Use double sided foam tape to secure the enclosure
to the air conditioner in one of the identified areas.
The green arrow in Image 1 shows the location or the door for the electric box. Remove the
screws to gain access to the inside of the box.
Routing the wire
The electrical box wire entry is sealed with a putty
as shown in image 2. Pull back the putty and push through
the EasyStart wiring harness. Replace the putty by pressing
it around all the wires. Leave the black sleeve around the
wires intact where they enter the electrical box. Neatly
secure the wires using wire ties.

Identifying the wires
The blue arrow to the left points to
the top of the compressor. Three wires exit
this cap colored BLACK, WHITE, and RED
shown entering the electric box by the green
arrow.
Making the connections
Use only end splice connectors for connecting one wire to another. Wire nuts can come off in this high
vibration environment and automotive connectors are not rated for line voltage.
Brown wire
Follow the white wire from the compressor
into the electric box to the top of the run capacitor
as indicated by the green arrow in image 4.
Disconnect the white wire and cut off the connector
on the end. Strip about ½ inch (1.27cm) of
insulation from the white wire and from the
BROWN wire from EasyStart. Twist both wires
together and crimp them with and end splice
connector as shown in image 5.
Note: Some installations will have multiple wires on the terminal group along with the white and yellow
wires shown in image 4. Be sure to follow the white wire from the compressor completely back to the
capacitor to be sure you have the correct wire.

White wire
Place a yellow female quick-connect terminal on the
WHITE wire from EasyStart and crimp tightly. Connect the WHITE
wire from EasyStart to the run capacitor on the same terminal
group as the yellow wire indicated by the yellow arrow in image
6.
Orange wire
Place a blue female quick-connect terminal on the
ORANGE wire from EasyStart and crimp it tightly. Connect the
ORANGE wire to the red wire terminal group on run capacitor
shown by the orange arrow in image 7.

Black wire
Follow the black wire from the compressor into the
electrical box to where is connects to the purple wire pointed to
by the orange arrow in image 8. There is an end splice connector
located at the junction of these two wires. Cut off this end splice
connector. Strip about ½ inch (1.27cm) of insulation from both the
black and purple wires. Strip ½ inch (1.27cm) from the BLACK wire
from EasyStart and twist the three wires together. Securely crimp
the three wires together using a new end splice as shown in image
9.
Removing existing start components
Some systems may use a start cap (orange arrow in image
10) and PTCR (green arrow in image 10). Previous owners may
have also installed a hard start kit that replaces these components.
These components form a circuit that connect from the yellow
wire side of the run capacitor to the red wire side of the run
capacitor.
Image 7 shows a single red wire connecting to the run
capacitor. If your system has only this single red wire then there
are no start components in your system so skip the rest of this
section.
If there is another wire connected to the red wire group on
the run capacitor (other than the orange wire from EasyStart),
remove the wire and disconnect it from the component it connects to. If the end of the wire is directly
connected to the PTCR (such as a different style PTCR than shown in image 10), disconnect the PTCR
wire on the other side of the PTCR from the start capacitor as well.

Mach 8 low profile models.
Model identification and wiring diagrams
Two slightly different models of low profile air conditioner were produced. They are identified
here as style 1 and style 2. Diagrams are normally installed on the electric box inside cover.
Style 1
Image 11 shows the early model low profile unit. The
picture is shown with the fan removed for easier access.
Capacitors are mounted inside the metal box in the center of
the AC unit. The EasyStart wiring connections will all be made
inside this box.
Image12 shows the wiring diagram shipped with this
model.

Style 2
Image 13 shows a later low-profile unit. The
capacitors are mounted outside the box as
indicated by the blue arrow in the image. Wiring
connections to EasyStart will all be made inside the
electric box in the center of the unit just under the
fan.
Image 14 shows the wiring diagram
shipped with this unit and modified to show
EasyStart.
