Ritetemp 6030 Touch Screen thermostat
Caution
- Your thermostat is a precise instrument, handle it with care.
- Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or servicing thermostat or any part of the system.
- Do not turn electricity back on until work is completed.
- Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control on 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
Installation
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 has been completed.
- This thermostat does not require leveling.
Remove old unit
- Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF; then proceed with the following steps
- Remove cover from 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
- 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 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 6030.
- 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 previous installation.
- Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
- Fan wires out as illustrated with 6030 below the wall opening.
- Wires will dress behind the 6030 and up over the terminal area.
- Use the Step-By-Step diagram as your guide.
- Do not bunch wires behind 6030. Feed slack back into the wall opening.
- Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with corresponding letter
- 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
Mount the 6030
- Hold the 6030 against the wall, with the wires coming over the top above terminal block. The 6030 will cover the hole in the wall.
- position 6030 for best appearance. Use the optional standoffs if more space for wires is needed behind the 6030.
- Attach the base to the wall with the screws provided.
- If you are mounting the base to sheet rock 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 mount the base.
Install AAA Batteries
- The 6030 requires 2 AAA batteries to operate .
- Switch 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 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 unit
Check Unit
- Follow these procedures to verify you have correctly installed the 6030.
- 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 to AUTO.
- Touch the room temperature and the heat target temperature will be displayed. Use the UP arrow to raise the target temp to 90F. Allow the system 2 minutes to respond then verify that heat is blowing from the system.
- To check COOL mode:
- Set the mode switch to COOL.
- Touch the room temperature and the cool target temperature will be displayed. Use the DOWN arrow to lower the target temperature to 50F.
- Allow the system 2 minutes to respond
- Verify that cool air is blowing from the system.
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 back-up 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 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: Push the MENU button; the present room temperature is displayed. To change it, use the up/down arrows and change the displayed room temperature as you wish +/- 6F. Your change will also be displayed on the lower left as the DELTA T factor or number of degrees changed. Push HOME icon or wait 60 seconds. The new room temperature will now be displayed on the HOME screen.

6030 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 be easily be set on the large touch screen with the UP/DOWN arrows. A minimum 4 minute off time protects heating and cooling systems from damage. This thermostat uses a new technique called sequential staging for more comfort with faster reaction to requested temperature changes. When using a heat pump with Auxiliary heat, if the heat pump cannot keep up and/or is defective, touch the MENU button, then touch PUMP; the PUMP OFF icon will come on.. The aux heat will then be your only source of heat. When the heat pump is again operational, be sure to turn the heat pump back on by touching MENU and then PUMP (off icon goes out) as the aux heat is more expensive than pump heat
