Ritetemp 6036 Touch Sceen 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 Phillips screwdriver, Sheetrock Saw, level, and Pencil.

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.
• Locate 2″ away from the nearest wall stud to allow wall box clamps to operate.
• Locate where HVAC wiring can be easily accessed.
• 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 and 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.

Cut Wall Opening

The 6036 uses a cut-in type wall box (a type of electrical box that attaches to the drywall, not the studs). Remove the thermostat unit from the wall box as shown. The Thermostat may be placed at the existing wire location or select a better location where you can easily relocate the HVAC wires. To install a wall box it is necessary to cut a hole in the wall. Use the marking template provided. Carefully measure where you want the box, check for level, and mark its perimeter on the wall and make its cutout using a drywall saw. Additional Thermostat wire may be needed to complete installation.

Cut Wall Opening cont

• Use a stud finder to locate stud positions.
• Place the cutting template so that the 6036 will be located between the studs [no closer than 2″ from a stud] but as close to the thermostat wires as possible.
• Mark the opening for cutting in pencil. Take care that it is level.
• Cut through craft paper surface w/ a razor knife will give the best cut. Cut a 45o cut in each corner to help free the pieces of wallboard you remove. Cut the opening for the wall box using a drywall saw. Take care as the box location and plumb will be based on the precision of the wall cutout.
• Clean up the edges of the hole with a file as needed.
• For best results place insulation in the wall above the opening.
• Before placing the wall box in the opening, pull the wire into the box. Select the Wire Opening in the box that gives you the most slack in the wire. If the wires are not long enough, you may need to lengthen some wires. If so be sure they cannot short to each other. Wire nuts are recommended.

Mount Wall Box

• Insert the wall box with the RITETEMP log-up.
• Tighten the 2 clamping screws located on the sides of the wall box. Tighten until you feel resistance. This means the clamp has made contact with the inside of the wallboard – stop tightening when you feel this.
• Do not over-tighten as it may cut into the wallboard and weaken it.

Prepare wires
With the wall box mounted position the wires upward in the opening

• You will need 3-4″ of wire for each of your connections to the 6036.
• Fan out wires below the hole as shown.
• Trim them evenly to make inserting wires in screw terminals easier.

Before you Connect Wires
[DO NOT connect wires until you have cunsulted the Step by Step digrams. ] 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.
• Do not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
• Fan wires out as illustrated with 6036 above the wall box.
• Wires will need to dress behind the 6036 and into the wire hole
• Use the Step-By-Step diagram as your guide.
• Do not bunch wires behind 6036. Feed slack back into the wall opening.
• Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with corresponding letter.

Caution Do not allow wires to touch e ach

Before you Connect Wires cont

• Remember to insert the wire in the terminal and tighten the screw securely.
• You will need to set Configuration Jumpers per the Step-By-Step diagram.
• Set these jumpers first before connecting wires.
• Needle-nose pliers may be needed to modify jumper locations.
• ALWAYS press RESET after changing jumpers.

What wires do you have?
On the next page you will determine which step-by-step wiring diagram you should use. Make sure your wires are labeled. Never guess about what a wire is, it can damage your HVAC system. 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.

Power Options B

BATTERIES ONLY – This thermostat can run on batteries only using 2AA 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.
NOTE: Handling the thermostat during installation will heat it up. It will take 1 hour to equalize to the correct temp reading.

6036 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 or is defective, move the large jumper 3 from B (lower) HEAT PUMP position to the A (upper) AUX ONLY position (reset is not necessary). The Auxiliary heat will then be your only source of heat. When the heat pump is again operational, be sure to change jumper 3 back to the B position as the Auxiliary heat is more expensive than the heat pump.
