iN-Command Pairing and Functionality Test

The BCM should be wired correctly, without loose connections, and connected to 12 VDC at pin 80.
A RED LED will indicate that the BCM is receiving 12 VDC. A BLUE LED will indicate that Bluetooth
communication is working. (Note: BLUE LED will not be lit until the DC is turned "on" & connected to the
BCM)

The 3 toggle switches on the BCM correspond to the 3 dials underneath them. (In the event where
communication between the DC and BCM is non-functioning, these switches will enable "manual" functions
of the selected devices) The Left switch and knob are used for Electric Slides 1-5. The Middle switch and knob
are used for Front and Rear Electric Jacks (Hydraulic Jacks are manually controlled at the Hydraulic Pump. See
the Hydraulic Pump Manual Override in the RV owner's manual), and the Right switch and knob are used for
Awnings 1 and 2.

The DC will be mounted in a "all access" area near the entrance. On the DC, hold down the Power button (the
left button) for 5 seconds. After a moment, the Passcode Screen will appear. Enter your Passcode . If this is
the first time the DC has been powered on, an End User License Agreement (EULA)screen will appear. Upon
accepting the EULA, a Enter New Passcode screen will appear. Enter your new passcode twice.

Page 8
The DC will now Pair with the BCM and bring up the Home Screen If the Floor Plan has been loaded, All the
devices should be listed with corresponding actitation buttons

Starting with the Lights, cycle ON/OFF, IN/OUT each device. All the functions should be smooth and
instantaneous. Ensure all the Home Screen Main Buttons actuate/turn on the corresponding devices.

When turning on the Water Pump, open the Kitchen Faucet and listen for the pump to turn on. The Water
Pump is pressure controlled and will cycle based on demand. During this time the Water Pump button will
stay highlighted. Cycle the Generator. When the Generator is being cycled for the first time (or if it has been
a while since it has been used), it will need to be primed. Hold the Prime button down to 2 -5 seconds (it will
never "over prime") then hold the Start button down until the generator starts.

Page 9
The Start Button should turn Red and display Stop. Hold the Stop Button to stop the Generator.

If the DC is working correctly, a Handheld Device can now be added.

On the Home Page, scroll down the list of actuations (swiping UP on the left side of the screen) to the

Select the Bluetooth button.

The Pairing Screen will appear:


On the iOS Device, go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth. The iOS device will automatically begin broadcasting
a signal and it will show up in the Unpaired Devices list. Select the device. On both the iOS device and the DC,
a Pairing Request screen will appear. Accept the paring request. The BCM will now be listed in the iOS
Device's Bluetooth menu (i.e.: JENSENDC05E1F7). Select the BCM on the iOS device, it will show "Connected"
on the device's Bluetooth list, and the iOS device will show up in the DC's Paired Devices list. Now open the
iN-Command App on the device. It will pair and show the Home screen.

Display Commander

iOS (Apple) Device

The Android Devices pair a little differently:


When the Pairing Screen is open on the DC, ensure that Bluetooth is functioning on the Android device, and
open the iN-Command App. Select the Menu button the Android App and then the Bluetooth button. On the
DC press Discover and on the Android device press Scan. The BCM (i.e.: JENSENDC05E1F7) will show in the
Android's Unpaired list. Select the BCM. A Pairing Request will show on the DC and the Android device,
accept both. The BCM will now appear in the Android's Paired List with yellow font (indicating that it is
Actively paired with the BCM. There can be more than 1 BCM paired to a Android OR iOS device). Select the
Home button, the DC Pairing screen will appear, then the App will show the Home screen.

Android Device

Page 11
The iOS and Android device Apps need to have the correct floorplan downloaded from the BCM to display
the Trailer's functions. On either device (iOS or Android) go to the Settings screen and select the Reset
button. The Reset Menu will appear. Select Floorplan. The functions will populate on the App's Menu
screen. Press the Home button. Tanks and Generator functions will be listed (if a generator is in the
floorplan). Press the Function List button. The Functions will be listed with an activation button next to them.
The iOS or Android Device is now ready for use.

The iN-Command system can only be paired to 7 devices 4 Android and 3 iOS)and only 4 of them can be
active (3 Androids and 1 iOS). "Active" meaning they can activate functions and receive data. Apple
programming dictates that only 1 iOS device can be actively paired. To use another iOS device that is paired
to the iN-Command system, simply push the iOS App's Power button and shut the App down. This will
disconnect the device from the BCM without having to go to the iOS device's Bluetooth list and disconnecting
it. The new iOS device will need to have the BCM selected in it's Bluetooth settings before opening the App.

3 Android devices are able to be used at one time. If a user wishes to use the 4th paired Android device,
simply use the Power button on the device's App. The Android device will disconnect to allow the other
device to be active.

To verify that the Handheld device is connected to the DC, select the Interior Lights button. All the Interior
Lights should cycle with each button press and the corresponding buttons on the handheld device and DC
should cycle from OFF to ON and vice versa.

Using the handheld device, cycle through all the functions previously tested on the DC. Ensure the DC display
correlates with the handheld device's. While testing the handheld device, push buttons on the DC. Lights
should function while using a Motor Function (slide, awning, etc.). Other Motor Functions should NOT be able
to actuate while a Motor Function is in use. A System Busy message should appear.

Using the DC, cycle through all the functions and ensure the corresponding buttons on the handheld device
mirror the DC's as well.

Disconnect Shore Power and start the Generator. Retest the DC and handheld device. If the RV/Trailer has a
12VDC battery installed, Turn off the generator and retest the DC and handheld device. Motor Functions will
stop at 10.7 VDC. Lights will cease functioning at 10 VDC and the DC will shut down.

When connecting multiple handheld devices, connection should be smooth, no other devices should be
kicked off, actuation of systems on one device should correspond to the buttons on other devices, and only
the non-motorized functions should be able to be actuated by any device while motorized functions are being
actuated on one device.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting The iN-Command system is pretty painless. The BCM and DC simulate all the lights, gauges,
and switches on the old control panels. The BCM Pin Vales portion of this guide will clear most issues.
Basically, if the BCM does not have the desired voltage, or signal, input, it will not be able to function or read
tanks. Also, if the BCM has the correct output voltage or signal , but nothing is functioning, the problem lies
elsewhere.
Symptom Solution
Try cycling the DC with the Power button.

Display Commander (DC) will not Check main fuse in Distribution Panel.
turn ON or no front panel Check 12V+ on wire to DC using a Digital
operation Multimeter.
Check Ground wire to DC.

Try cycling power using the RV main breaker.

Check the Red power LED is off,


No power to the Body Control Check the fuse in the Distribution Panel.
Module (BCM), The Red Light is
off Check 12V+ on wire at pin 80.
Disconnect wire from 8, if BCM powers up,
there is a short on the wire. Correct wiring.
Check Ground wire at pin 77.
Disconnect 12V+ and Ground wires from the
back of DC.

DC screen flashing on and off Shut off all power to the BCM and DC.
after installation Reconnect 12V+ and Ground wires from the
back of DC.
Return power to BCM and DC.
First, check the fuse in the main breaker box
Awnings do not move then look for 12V+ at Pin 78.Ensure the relay
activates*.
First check the fuse in the main breaker box
Slide Rooms do not move then look for 12V+ at Pin 79. Ensure the relay
activates*.
Replace the relay with one from an unused
*Relay not activating
circuit by gently pulling it off the board.

Any issues that are related to iN-Command that cannot be cleared using the above list will be tied to the BCM
and DC hardware and software. Careful inspection of the BCM will need to be done (possibly blowing the
BCM board with air to remove any dust and debris or conductive material). If the BCM looks clean and
undamaged (no burnt or cracked components) with all the wires secure and not touching each other,
troubleshooting the program is needed.
