Ritetemp 6036 Touch Screen thermostat

Using a TOUCH SCREEN

Please take a moment to try out your touch screen itself.
To select a function on the touch screen, place your finger on the main temp display and give a short firm push. Try a “tap” of the finger or stylus. Your input must last long enough for the system to determine it is not an accidental ‘bump’.
Using the stylus is more comfortable for some users. Again allow the system enough time to recognize your inputs. When you are comfortable with touch inputs, proceed. Statement of use: The 6036 can be used with millivolt, 24VAC, single and 2 stage conventional systems, gas/oil/electric heat, 1 stage heat pumps, 2 stage heat pumps, zoned hot water (2 or 3 wire), zoned forced air, single and 2 stage cooling and hybrid systems.

Heat Pump Features

If you have a heat pump with Auxiliary heat, the new sequential staging will give you faster recovery from set backs. The thermostat can be configured for Electric aux or gas/oil aux heat (see installation). If the heat pump cannot maintain your desired room temperature, the new system allows the Aux heat to help maintain your heat all the way to your desired room temperature.
When using a heat pump with Auxiliary heat, if the heat pump is not working, you can 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.

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.

Calibration

NOTE: Your thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to + or – 1oF 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 it. Maximum calibration is +/-6o .

To change the calibration:
With the switch MODE in HEAT or COOL.
Press the MENU button.
Press the Temp Up/Temp Down arrows to adjust the temperature reading. CALIBRATE DISPLAY ON will appear.
Press HOME to save the new setting.
