Step 2: Installing Model 9550 Thermostat

NOTE: FOR NEW INSTALLATIONS, MOUNT THERMOSTAT ON INSIDE THE WALL, FIVE FEET ABOVE THE FLOOR. DO NOT INSTALL BEHIND A DOOR, IN A CORNER, NEAR AIR VENTS, IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OR NEAR ANY HEAT OR STEAM-GENERATING FIXTURES. INSTALLATION AT THESE LOCATIONS WILL AFFECT THERMOSTAT OPERATION.

1. Turn the power off to the heating and cooling systems.
2. Place AUTO-HEAT-OFF-COOL in the OFF position (Figure 2).
3. Place -ON-AUTO switches into the AUTO position (Figure 2).
4. Remove the cover using a coin or screwdriver (Figure 3). Set aside.
5. Place the thermostat against the wall at the desired location. Make sure wires will feed through the opening (Figure 4) on the base of the thermostat.
6. Mark placement of mounting holes (Figure 4). Set base aside.
7. If mounting on drywall, tap plastic anchors into the wall.
   NOTE: ENCLOSED PLASTIC ANCHORS DO NOT REQUIRE A DRILLED HOLE FOR DRYWALL.
8. Drill the marked holes using a 3/16″ drill bit if mounting on a surface other than drywall.
9. Align the base with plastic anchors and feed wires through the opening.
10. Secure base to wall with supplied screws.
    NOTE: THE THERMOSTAT WILL MOUNT HORIZONTALLY ON A SINGLE GANG JUNCTION BOX.
11. Strip the end of wires 5/16” if needed.
12. Terminal screws are already loose and ready for wire insertion. Insert wires into the terminal strip (Figure 5) matching the label to the corresponding terminal (see Wiring Diagrams below). Tighten screws.
13. Make sure wire connections are secure.
14. Push the access wire back through the opening.

Wiring Diagrams for 9550

TERMINALLEGEND – 9550
TERM	EQUIPMENT TOCONNECT	REQ?	TERMINAL FUNCTION
C	24VAC common connection	Yes	For input of 24VAC common side of the transformer
R	24VAC hot connection	Yes	For input of 24VAC hot side of the transformer
W	First-stage heat convection	Yes*	Energizes on a call for heat
Y	Second-stage heat convection	No	Energizes on a call for cooling
G	Indoor fan connection	Yes**	Energizes with W (ELECTRIC mode only) and Yor with FAN option switched to the ON position
O	Cool active reversing valve connection	No***	Energizes when in the COOL mode
B	Heat active reversing valve connection	No***	Energizes when in the HEAT or EM modes

This thermostat can be used as a heat-only or cool-only thermostat therefore it is not always necessary to use both W and Y. A heat-only gas system typically will not require the G terminal connection unless a separate indoor blower is installed. Most heat pump systems will have a cool active OR a heat active reversing valve. Use the appropriate terminal. If using a single-stage heat pump system, set the switch to HP.

Set the GAS/ELEC switch to either GAS for a gas/oil heating system or ELEC for an electric heating system.

A temperature-limiting jumper has been included in this thermo-stat. Cutting this jumper (J3) limits the heating setpoint to no greater than 72°F and the cooling setpoint to no lower than 78°F (Figure 7).

Replace the thermostat cover by snapping it into place. Turn on the power to the system. Test the thermostat as described in the following section.

Step 3: Testing the Thermostat

WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF GAS VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

CAUTION: DO NOT SWITCH THE SYSTEM TO COOL IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Place the AUTO-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the COOL position.
2. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least 3 degrees below the room temperature. The air conditioning system should turn on within a few seconds.NOTE: ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS OFF WHEN IN THE COOL MODE, ABUILT IN 5-MINUTE DELAY PREVENTS THE SYSTEM FROM TURNING ON AGAIN. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY IS REQUIRED. TO OVERRIDE THE 5-MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.
3. Put the AUTO-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the OFF position. The air conditioning system should turn off.
4. Put the AUTO-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the HEAT position.
5. Press the button until the temperature setting is at least 3 degrees above room temperature. The heating system should turn on. The fan may not turn on immediately, depending on the fan delay built into the furnace.
6. Put the AUTO-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into the OFF position. The heating system should turn off. The fan may continue to run for a short period of time.
7. Put the -ON-AUTO switches into the ON position. The blower fan should turn on.
8. Put the -ON-AUTO switches into the AUTO position. The blower fan should turn off.

Step 4: Customizing the Thermostat

Settings System

• Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling.
• Off: The heating and cooling systems are off.
• Heat: The thermostat controls the heat.
• AUTO: The thermostat automatically selects heat or cool depending on the temperature.

Fan
Auto: Equipment controls the fan.
On: The fan operates continuously.

Temperature
The default setpoint temperature for heating is 70°F (21°C), for cool-ing is 78°F (25°C), and for auto is 72°F (22.0°C). After putting the system switch in heat, cool, or auto, press either the or ‚ button to adjust the temperature setting up or down. The display will return to the current room temperature five seconds after the last input and the new setpoint will be saved.

Temperature Differential and Deadband

The temperature differential is factory set at 1°F (0.5°C). This means that whenever the room temperature changes by one degree Fahrenheit from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the system turns on too often, increase the temperature differential. Although programmed at the same time as the temperature differentials, the deadband is used only during the AUTO mode. In the AUTO mode, the thermostat will automatically cycle either the heating or cooling system to maintain optimal comfort. The deadband is the minimum allowable temperature which must occur to switch to the opposite mode. For example, if the deadband is set at 3°F (1.5°C)and the setpoint is set at 70°F, the thermostat will switch to cooling mode when the temperature reaches 73°F.
NOTE: IF THE TEMPERATURE LIMITING JUMPER J3 IS CUT (FIGURE 7), THE DEADBAND IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND IS AUTOMATICALLY SET TO 6°F (3°C).

Changing Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C), Temperature Differential, Deadband, and Residual Cool
The temperature differential is factory set at 1°F (0.5°C). The deadband for auto changeover is set at 3°F (1.5°C). To change settings:

1. 1. The thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (US models) or degrees Celsius (Canadian models). The temperature display can be changed.
   2. Press and hold both the and  buttons for three seconds.
2. The display will read F or C. Release the buttons. Press the  or  but-ton to switch the display.
   3. After three seconds the display will switch to the differential setting. The display will read DIFFERENTIAL 1st.
   4. The temperature differential is factory set at 1°F (0.5°C). Press the or to adjust the differential up or down.
3. Either wait three seconds or press the button. The display will indicate: AUTOCHANGE DEADBAND.
4. Press either the or button to adjust the deadband between 2.0°F – 8.0°F (1.0°C – 4.5°C).
5. Either wait five seconds or press the button. The fan icon and ON will be displayed.
6. Press either the or button to adjust the residual cool fan delay between 0, 30, 60, or 90 seconds.
7. The display will return to the original room temperature display after a few seconds.

LED Indicators
The Robertshaw 9550 uses three LED indicators (in addition to icons on the LCD display) to indicate the functionality of the thermostat. When illuminated, the right orange LED indicates that the thermostat is calling for heat. The left green LED indicates a call for cool. The middle amber LED indicates the fan is running

Backlit Display
This thermostat is equipped with a backlight to make nighttime temperature adjustments quick and easy. Press the button to activate the backlight. The backlight will turn off after about 15 seconds of inactivity.

Reset
To reset the thermostat to factory preprogrammed conditions, press the RESET button located beneath the lower left corner of the display.

Step 5: Troubleshooting

Symptom	Remedy
The thermostat does not turn on the system.	Check to wire (see Installation section).
Thermostat turns system on and off too frequently.	Increase temperature differential (see Changing the Temperature Differential section).
System fan does not operate properly.	Move fan option switch to either gas or electric, to match system (see Installation section).
