INTRODUCTION
There are two Legacy Line–RNC Series programmable thermostat models, one for AC applications and one for HP applications. Both are dual-powered, operating from either 24VAC or two alkaline AA batteries. Configuration and program schedules are stored in non–volatile memory, preserving this information during power loss and battery removal. Features include simplified 5/2 programming, a large backlit display, and modern styling. The AC model provides one stage of heating and one stage of cooling. The HP model provides two stages of heating and one stage of cooling.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
AC Operation
For 24VAC operation, both the R and C wires must be connected to the 24VAC power source. Batteries are not needed.
Battery Operation
When batteries are used, the common (C) connection is not needed, saving a wire, and eliminating 24VAC operation. The thermostat continues to operate in the event of a power failure. Battery life is expected to be one year. A “low battery” reminder tells the homeowner when it is time to replace the batteries. When connected without the common wire, the thermostat will not operate without batteries. Continuous backlighting is not available.
Both Battery and AC Operation
If both batteries and 24VAC operation are used (batteries installed and the common wire connected), and indefinite clock operation are provided, the battery will be used only during AC power loss, extending battery life to nearly its shelf life. A jumper has to be properly set for backlight operation. J2 should be set in the “AC” position when the thermostat is operated from 24VAC. J2 should be set in the “BAT” position when the thermostat is operated from batteries. The thermostat will continue to operate if J2 is not in the correct position or not connected. However, the backlight will not operate.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Install batteries last to ensure proper thermostat mounting and latch engagement.
Step 1 — Thermostat Location
The thermostat should be mounted:
- Approximately 5 ft (1.5m) from the floor.
- Close to or in a frequently used room, preferably on an inside partitioning wall.
- On a section of wall without pipes or ductwork.
- The thermostat should NOT be mounted:
- Close to a window, on an outside wall, or next to a door leading to the outside.
- Exposed to direct light and heat from the sun, a lamp, fireplace, or other heat–radiating object which may cause a false reading.
- Close to or in direct airflow from supply registers and return–air grilles.
- In areas with poor air circulation, such as behind a door or in an alcove.
Step 2 — Install the Thermostat
IMPORTANT: Install batteries last to ensure proper thermostat mounting and latch engagement.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death. Before installing the thermostat, turn off all power to the unit. There may be more than 1 disconnect. Lock out and tag the switch with a suitable warning label.
- Turn OFF all power to the unit.
- If an existing thermostat is being replaced:
- Remove the existing thermostat from the wall.
- Disconnect wires from the existing thermostat, one at a time. Be careful not to allow wires to fall back into the wall.
- As each wire is disconnected, record the wire color and terminal marking.
- Discard or recycle old thermostats
- Separate front and back plastic assembly of the thermostat.
- Route thermostat wires through holes in the mounting base. Level the mounting base against the wall (for aesthetic value only, the thermostat need not be level for proper operation) and mark the wall through 2 mounting holes.
- Drill two 3/16–in. (5 mm) mounting holes in the wall where marked.
- Secure the back plate to the wall with 2 anchors and screws provided making sure all wires extend through the hole in the plastic.
NOTE: Anchoring the back plate will maximize proper mounting plate flatness and allow latch to fully engage. - Connect wires to a proper terminal location on the backplate.
- Push any excess wire back into the wall. Seal hole in wall to prevent air leaks. Leaks can affect thermostat operation. Any excess wire left inside the thermostat casing may also affect thermostat operation by interfering with airflow across the temperature sensor.
- Set the thermostat front housing into the (2) latches (notches) on the bottom of the back plate.
- Rotate the front housing forward and press on the faceplate with thumbs near the Up/Down arrows on the right and the “H/C” and fan symbols on the left side of the display. Do this with a moderate amount of pressure
- If necessary, continue to rotate the front housing forward and press to engage the top corner latches.
- Snap thermostats together making sure the assembly is secure.
- Install the batteries.
- Turn ON the power to the unit.
On power-up, depending on the thermostat model being used, the LCD readout will display either AC for air conditioner model (1–stage heat/1–stage cool) or HP for heat pump model (2–stage heat/1–stage cool).
Step 3 — Set Thermostat Configuration
Configuration options enable the installer to configure the thermostat for a particular installation. These are not presented to the homeowner and therefore must be properly set by the installer. Following is a list of the options available, an explanation of their function, and their factory default settings. Not all numbers are used in the Legacy Line–RNC Series because not all options are available in this series.
Configuration Options — Summary:
- Option 01 — Equipment type
- Option 03 — Fahrenheit/Centigrade
- Option 04 — Fan (G) on with W output
- Option 10 — Reversing valve
- Option 13 — Room air temperature offset
- Option 21 — Keypad Lockout
- Option 26 — Minimum Cooling Setpoint
- Option 27 — Maximum Heating Setpoint
To Enter The Configuration Mode
Press and hold the FAN key for about 10 seconds until the display changes so that only two pairs of digits are showing. The configuration number, now 01, will appear in the setpoint/temperature location and the configuration setting will appear in the clock location. The configuration number (left pair) will be flashing which means it can be adjusted using the UP and DOWN keys. To cause the opposite pair to flash (to be adjustable), press the H/C key. Successive presses of the H/C key alternate between the configuration number (left) and the configuration setting (right). To exit the configuration mode, press the HOLD/END key. If no key is pressed for 3 minutes, the configuration mode will automatically exit, returning the thermostat to normal operation.
Configuration Options — Selection
Option 01 — Equipment type
Selections: with HP thermostat: HP, AC, PH, or PC with AC thermostat: AC or PC Meanings: PH or PC selects PTAC units (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners) that are used in motel rooms and other rented spaces. When this option is selected, the display shows only the setpoint, not the room temperature. Also, the compressor time-guard is disabled, allowing the compressor to turn on immediately when demand is established. HP or PH controls a 1-speed heat pump with 1 stage of aux heat. AC or PC controls 1-speed air conditioner with one stage of heat. Note that this option allows an HP thermostat to be converted to
control an AC system.
Option 03 — Fahrenheit/Centigrade
Selections: F = Fahrenheit — This is the default. C = Centigrade. Selects temperature display units.
Option 04 — Fan (G) ON with Woutput
Selections: OF = G not energized with W — This is the default. ON = G energized with W. This selection determines whether the fan (G) is to be ON or OFF when the W (furnace or strip heat) is ON. Furnaces and fan coils which manage their own blowers do not require a separate G signal. Some auxiliary heaters require a separate G signal to operate the blower when W is applied. This option allows an HP thermostat to control an AC system.
Option 10 — Reversing valve
Selections: C = reversing valve energized in cooling —This is the default. H = reversing valve energized in heating — Only appears in HP systems.
Option 13 — Room Air Temperature Offset
Selections: ±5_F/±3_C. The default is 0. The number of degrees to be added to the displayed temperature to calibrate or deliberately miscalibrate the measured room temperature. This option is in _F even if Option 3 is set for _C.
Option 21 — Keypad Lockout
Selections: ON, OF — Default is OF. With OF selected, the keypad cannot be locked. With ON selected the keypad will be locked and can be unlocked by simultaneously pressing the UP and DOWN keys for 5 seconds. Once unlocked, it will relock 2 minutes after the last keypad press. If any key is pressed and the thermostat is locked, “loc” will be displayed in the clock digits.
Option 26 — Minimum Cooling Setpoint
Selections: 50_ to 90_F/10_ to 32_C —Default is 52_F/11_C. Sets the lowest cooling setpoint available to the user.
Option 27 — Maximum Heating Setpoint
Selections: 50_ to 90_F/10_ to 32_C —Default is 88_F/31_C. Sets the highest heating setpoint available to the user.
Step 4 — Understand Thermostat Operation
Temperature Display
The thermostat will display room temperature until UP or DOWN button is pressed. The words SET TEMP to appear when these buttons are pressed and the current setpoint is displayed. If no buttons are pressed for 5 sec, the display will change back to show room temperature.
Backlighting
Continuous backlighting is not available. The backlight will come on for 10 seconds after any button press. Without AC power and when the battery is low, the backlight will remain off with button presses.
Battery Indicator
A battery indication icon on the display shows nothing, half, or low/no battery condition. If the battery is full or the operation is from AC power, no icon appears. Under battery operation, if the battery is half full, a half-full battery icon appears. As the battery depletes below half, the icon remains at half, but the 10-second backlight disappears. When the battery is absent or depleted, the display goes blank except for an empty battery icon and all outputs are turned off.
Timeguard Timer
A 5–minute timecard is built into the thermostat immediately upon power up, and any time the compressor turns off. The compressor will not turn on until the time guard has expired. The time guard affects only compressor operation. Pressing UP and FAN buttons simultaneously will override the time guard for 1 cycle. If PTAC operation (PH or PC) is selected under Option 1, the time guard timer is eliminated.
Cycle Timer
In normal heating and cooling operation, the thermostat will not allow more than 4 equipment cycles per hour (or 1 cycle every 15 minutes). Both the Y and W outputs have a 15-minute timer that starts counting down when the output is turned on, (e.g., if Y output is turned on for 9 minutes and then satisfies, it cannot turn back on for another 6 minutes regardless of demand). However, pressing UP and FAN buttons simultaneously or changing the setpoint will override the timer for 1 cycle.
Minimum on Timer
Once the equipment has turned on, it will remain on for a minimum of 3 minutes regardless of demand. However, the equipment can turn off in less than 3 minutes if a change in setpoint or a change in mode occurs.
Staging Timer
If the thermostat is a heat pump model, it has 2–stage heat capability. In normal operation, there is a 15-minute delay between the first and second stages of heat. The Y output will energize first, then 15 minutes later, W is allowed to come on if the thermostat determines it is not satisfying the demand. However, if the heating demand is greater than 5_F/3_C, there will be only a 30-second delay before bringing on W.
Auxiliary Heat Indicator
When operating a heat pump and either auxiliary heat or emergency heat is active, a front-mounted LCD indicates this condition
ErrorMessages
If the room temperature sensor fails, two dashes will appear in the temperature display and all heating and cooling outputs will be turned off. The thermostat must be replaced.If the internal non–volatile memory fails, E4 will alternately flash with the temperature on the display and all heating and cooling outputs will be turned off. The thermostat must be replaced.
Step 5 — Check Thermostat Operation
Fan Operation
- Press the FAN button. This will start continuous fan operation.
THE FAN ON icon will turn on. - Press FAN button again. This will stop continuous fan operation.
THE FAN ON icon will turn off.
Heating Operation
- Press H/C button until HEAT is displayed.
- Press UP button until LCD readout reads 3_F/2_C above room temperature. Press UP and FAN buttons simultaneously to defeat timers. The heating system should begin to operate immediately.
- For HP thermostats only, press H/C button until EMHT (emergency heat) appears. Press UP and FAN buttons simultaneously to defeat timers. Emergency heating (W is ON, Y is OFF) should begin immediately.
Cooling Operation
- Press the H/C button until COOL is displayed.
- Press the DOWN button until LCD readout reads 3_/2_C below room temperature. Press UP and FAN buttons simultaneously to defeat timers. The cooling system should begin to operate immediately.
