Ritetemp 6025 Programable Thermostat

Caution

• Your thermostat is a precise instrument, handle it with care.
• Turn off the electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing the thermostat or any part of the system.
• Do not turn the electricity back on until work is completed.
• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at the control on the furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will damage the thermostat and void your warranty.
• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
• This thermostat is designed for use with 24-volt AC and millivolt systems. The thermostat should be limited to a maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause damage to the thermostat.

Caution
To avoid electrical shock and to prevent damage to the furnace, air conditioner, and thermostat, disconnect the power supply before beginning work. This can be done at the circuit breaker, or at the appliance.

Tools
You will need a small Phillips screwdriver and possibly a drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit for wall mounting.

Location
Replacement installations – mount the new thermostat in place of the old one.

New installations – follow the guidelines listed below.

• Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in a room that is used often.
• Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, or fireplace; near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side of a wall.
• Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
• Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten thermostat life.
• Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an alcove; or behind an open door.
• Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting have been completed.
• This thermostat does not require leveling.

Remove old unit

• Switch the electricity to the furnace air conditioner OFF; then proceed with the following steps.
• Remove the cover from the old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull off. Some have locking screws on the side or front. These must be loosened. Note the letters printed near the terminals.
• Attach labels (enclosed) to each wire for identification

Caution
Read the instructions carefully before removing any wiring from the existing thermostat. Wires must be labeled before they are removed. THERE IS NO STANDARD COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of the wires since these may not comply with any standard.

• Label the wires one at a time. You must label all the wires before you proceed. With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.
• Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall. You can wind them around a pencil to keep them from falling.
• Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.
• Fill the wall opening with non-combustible insulation to prevent drafts.

Prepare wires

• You will need at least 2.6″ of wire for each of your connections to the 6025.
• If you do not have enough wire, splice additional wire to allow enough slack.
• Fan out wires below the hole as shown

Before you Connect Wires

Please follow these guidelines for safe and secure wire connections.

• Easy Terminals do not require stripping the wire.
• Clip any bare wire from the previous installation.
• Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
• Fan wires out as illustrated with 6025 below the wall opening.
• Wires will dress behind the 6025 and up over the terminal area.
• Use the Step-By-Step diagram as your guide.
• Do not bunch wires behind 6025. Feed slack back into the wall opening.
• Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with the corresponding letters.

Caution Do not allow wires to touch each other or parts on the thermostat.

• Insert the wire in the terminal and tighten the screw securely.
• You will need to set Configuration
• Jumpers per the Step-By-Step diagram. A needle-nose plier may be required to modify jumper positions

What wires do you have?
Determine which step-by-step wiring diagram below you should use. Make sure your wires are labeled. This may require you to find the ‘other end’ connection for each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there. If you have a wire marked “C” it is optional. If you do connect it, the thermostat will draw power from the C wire. This extends battery life.

Find the set-up diagram for your system

• Find the reference page with your wiring diagram and jumper set-up information. Remember, the C wire is optional.
• If your combination of wires is not above you can use the wiring table on pages 24-25 to determine your connections or call our USA support line at 1-877-505-2353 for help.

Mount the 6025

• Hold the 6025 against the wall, with the wires coming over the top above the terminal block. The 6025 will cover the hole in the wall.
• Position 6025 for best appearance. Use the optional stand-offs if more space for wires is needed behind the 6025.
• Attach the base to the wall with the screws provided.
• If you are mounting the base to sheetrock or if you are using the old mounting holes, use the plastic anchors provided. Drill a 3/16-in.(4.8mm) hole for the insert at each screw location then mounts the base. C W Y RH

Install AAA Batteries

• The 6025 requires 2 AAA batteries to operate.
• Switch the MODE switch to OFF and the FAN switch to AUTO.
• Install 2 AAA alkaline batteries according to the polarity noted in the compartment. LCD segments will go on.
• Press the RESET button (under the top cover) to clear transient program memory.
  NOTE: Replace the batteries when this LOW battery indicator appears on the display or once a year.
• Replace top and bottom covers on the unit.

Check Unit
Follow these procedures to verify you have correctly installed the 6025. To check Fan: (If you connected the G wire – fan relay)

• Switch the FAN switch to the ON position. Verify that air is blowing from the system. Return to AUTO position for normal operation.
  To check HEAT mode:
  • Set the mode switch to HEAT.
  • Set the fan switch AUTO.
• Using the TEMP +/- dial raise the Target Temp to 90deg.
• Allow the system 2 min to respond.

Power Options

BATTERIES ONLY – This thermostat can run on batteries only using 2AAA alkaline batteries. The batteries will last at least 1 year; replace the batteries once a year or when the low battery icon comes on the display. If the batteries are not replaced, the thermostat will shut off the HVAC and then stop working.

24VAC – This thermostat can run on the HVAC 24VAC (C wire) if available. As shown in the wiring diagrams, the C wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating transformer and can be found where the other thermostat wires connect at the wall or at the furnace. Do not use the common or ground side of the line voltage. If the C wire is used, the batteries are then for backup in case of power loss only and will last much longer. With the C wire connected, the thermostat will continue to work if the batteries die or are removed.

Calibration

NOTE: Your thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to +/- 1o of the actual temperature. It is an accurate instrument. If you want your thermostat to display the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you can adjust its calibration.

To change the calibration

Set the Mode switch to HEAT or COOL. Locate the TIME SET button and press it. The current calibration factor (+/-) of the 6025 will appear in the LCD display as well as the modified temp. Push the UP or DOWN arrows until the desired calibration factor is reached. Press HOME to save. The new calibrated temperature Calibrate button will be displayed on the LCD.

6025 Features

This thermostat can be used with all millivolt and 24VAC heating and cooling systems. It cannot be used with line voltage systems. This thermostat is digital and your desired heat or cool temperatures can easily be set on the large screen with the +/- buttons on the front. A minimum 4 minutes off time protects heating and cooling systems from damage. This thermostat uses a new technique called sequential staging for more comfort with a faster reaction to requested temperature changes.

When using a heat pump with Aux heat, if the heat pump cannot keep up and/or is defective, remove jumper from position 5 and put jumper on position 6 and the Aux heat will then be your only source of heat. Be sure to restore it to PUMP when the pump is again operational as aux heat is more expensive than pump heat.
