Honeywell RTH110B Non-Programmable electronic Thermostat

product

Introduction

The RTH110B non-programmable thermostat can be used to control:

a gas, fuel oil or electric furnace – 2 or 3 wires
a central air conditioner – 2 or 3 wires
a hot water system with or without pump – 2 wires
a millivolt system – 2 wires
a central heating and cooling system – 4 or 5 wires
Note : This thermostat is not compatible with heat pumps or multistage systems.

Features

System operating mode selection: heat, cool or off
Fan operating mode selection: automatic or on (continuous)
Programmable heating and cooling cycle lengths: 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 minutes
Temperature display in °F or °C
Battery replacement indicator

Installation

Removing the Old Thermostat
IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, CUT POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM.

Remove the old thermostat to access the wires.
Attention : If the old thermostat was mounted onto an electrical box, it was probably powered by 120/240 volts. In this case, this thermostat cannot be used.
Identify and label each wire (with the corresponding letter on the wire terminal) and remove them from the terminals.
If necessary, strip the end of each wire (maximum of 1/4 inch).
This is a legacy product document supported by Resideo. It is no longer manufactured.
Wrap the wires around a pencil to prevent them from falling into the wall.
If the hole in the wall is too big, insulate it using a non-flammable material in order to avoid air draughts behind the thermostat.

Installing the New Baseplate

For a new installation, choose a location approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor and on an inside wall. Avoid draughty areas (top of staircase, air outlet, etc.), dead air spots (behind doors), direct sunlight or areas near concealed pipes or chimneys.

Remove the thermostat faceplate.
Loosen the locking screw to separate the thermostat from its baseplate (the screw cannot be completely removed).
Tilt the thermostat upwards.
Mark and bore the appropriate mounting holes (or use the existing holes). Insert the plastic anchors.
Pass the wires through the opening of the baseplate and fix the baseplate to the wall using the screws provided.

Connecting the Thermostat

The connection of the new thermostat should be similar to that of the old thermostat; however, it can vary depending on the installation.

Rh	Heating power supply
Rc	Cooling power supply
W	Heating signal
Y	Cooling signal
G	Fan

Note : The red jumper wire between the Rc and Rh terminals must be removed in 2- or 5-wire installations. The jumper must be used in 3- or 4-wire installations if you wish to use the mode selector switch for the fan.

Setting J2 Jumper

The jumper defines the fan operation when the fan is placed in automatic mode.

Installing the Batteries

Pull out the battery cover.
Install the batteries as shown. Observe the polarity.
Reinstall the battery cover. You will hear a clicking sound.
After the batteries are installed, the thermostat performs a series of tests for approximately 5 seconds. Afterwards, the screen displays the actual temperature. It is normal that the displayed temperature will be higher than the ambient temperature if you hold the thermostat in your hands. It will display the ambient temperature after the thermostat is installed on the wall. By default, the setpoint is 70°F (21°C).

Completing the Installation

Once the baseplate and the batteries are installed, mount the thermostat on the baseplate.
Secure the thermostat using the locking screw and install the faceplate.
Apply power back to the system.

Basic Functions

System Operating Mode
Use the selector switch to place the system in Heating mode (HEAT) or Cooling mode (COOL), or to turn the system off.
Note : When you place the thermostat in Cooling mode, you might need to wait up to five minutes before cooling can start. This is a safety feature for the compressor. will flash on the screen until cooling can start again.

Fan Operating Mode
Use the selector switch to set the fan to automatic mode (AUTO) or continuous mode (ON).
Note : This switch is not used if you have a 2-wire installation as the fan is not connected to the thermostat.

__

AUTO

| • If you have an electric furnace (see section 2.4), the fan works only when heating or cooling is activated.

• If you have a gas or fuel oil furnace (see section 2.4), the fan works as follows:

• When the thermostat is placed in cool mode, the fan works only when cooling is activated.

• When the thermostat is placed in heat mode, the fan is con- trolled by the furnace fan control circuitry.

---|---
ON| The fan is always on.

Displaying the Temperature

The actual temperature is normally displayed. To view the setpoint, press once on either of the buttons. The setpoint is displayed for 5 seconds along with the icon.
Note : Pressing any of the buttons more than once will change the setpoint.

Setting the Temperature
Press one of the buttons until the desired temperature is displayed.

Battery Replacement Indicator

An icon appears when the batteries need replacement. This icon will flash for 120 days, then the thermostat will cut power to the heating/cooling unit. The icon disappears
once the batteries are replaced. The temperature settings are saved and do not need to be re-entered.
Warning : Before removing the batteries, place the system switch on the thermostat to Off. Otherwise, the heating/cooling unit might still be running even after the batteries are removed.

To access the configuration menu, press both buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
To go to the next parameter (menu item), briefly press both buttons simultaneously.
To modify a parameter, press one of the buttons.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 if necessary.
Press both buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to exit the configuration menu.
DISPLAY| DESCRIPTION| DEFAULT| SETTINGS
---|---|---|---
Temperature display| °F| °C or °F
Heating cycles per hour 1| 4| 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 2
Cooling cycles per hour 1| 4| 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 3
1 When either the heating or cooling parameter is displayed, use the system mode selector switch to alternate between the two parameters.

2 For optimal heating control, use the setting that matches your system as follows: 2=30 min (steam or gravity), 3=20 min (hot water or 90%+ high- efficiency furnace), 4=15 min (gas or oil), 5=12 min (alternate setting for gas or oil), 6=10 min (electric). 3 The corresponding cooling cycle lengths are as follows: 2=30 min, 3=20 min, 4=15 min, 5=12 min, 6=10 min.
