Honeywell Home RLV450 Programmable Thermostat

READ BEFORE INSTALLING DESCRIPTION

• LP appears only for the first two minutes when the thermostat is without power. This can occur during a power outage or when the thermal protection device inside the baseboard heater is opened.
  Fig. 1.
  This programmable thermostat can be used to control an electric heating system such as an electric baseboard heater, a radiant ceiling, a radiant floor, a convector or a fan-forced heater.
  The thermostat cannot be used with:

  • a resistive load over 16.7 A
  • a resistive load under 2 A
  • a system driven by a contactor or relay (inductive load)
  • a central heating system

SUPPLIED PARTS:

• One (1) thermostat
• Two (2) 6-32 screws
• Two (2) solderless connectors

INSTALLATION

WARNING

TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN ELECTRICIAN. All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code. Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminum conductors. Install the thermostat onto an electrical box. Install the thermostat about 5 feet high, on an inside wall facing the heater. Avoid locations where there are air drafts (such as the top of a staircase or an air outlet), dead air spots (such as behind a door), or direct sunlight. Do not install the thermostat on a wall that conceals chimney or stove pipes. The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can be connected to the load or to the power supply. Always keep the thermostat’s vents clean and unobstructed.

1. 

2. Connect the thermostat wires to the line wires and to the load wires using solderless connectors for copper wires.

3. Push any excess wire back into the electrical box.
   NOTE: If necessary, before re-installing the front component, configure the thermostat (see “Configuration” on page 2).

4. Return power to heating system.

CONFIGURATION

The configuration switches are on the back of the thermostat. The factory settings are indicated by the gray cells in the following table.

Table 1

1. Early Start can be used in Automatic mode only. When this function is enabled, the thermostat calculates the optimal time to start heating in order to obtain the desired temperature by the set time. The thermostat re-assesses the start time daily based on the previous day’s performance.
2. Select 15-second cycles in most cases as it provides better temperature control. However, you must select 15-minute cycles if you have a fan-forced heater. The word FAN is displayed when 15-minute cycles are selected.
3. The settings are locked. The temperature adjustment buttons only allow you to view the temperature set point.

CLOCK AND DAY SETTING

1. Press the Hour button to set the hour.
2. Press the Min button to set the minutes.
3. Press the Day button to set the day.
4. Press the Mode button to end.

Daylight Savings Time
The thermostat can automatically re-adjust its clock at Daylight Savings Time changeover. When this function is enabled (On), the thermostat switches to Daylight Savings Time on the second Sunday of March and to normal time on the first Sunday of November.

NOTE: The function is disabled (default setting) when the clock loses its setting.

1. Press the Day button (3 seconds) until DLS appears on the screen.
2. Press either of the buttons to toggle between On (enabled) and Off (disabled).
3. Press the Day button briefly. The year setting is dis-played.
4. Press either of the  buttons to set the current year.
5. Press the Day button briefly. The month setting is dis-played.
6. Press either of the  buttons to set the current month.
7. Press the Day button briefly. The date setting is dis-played.
8. Press either of the buttons to set the current date.
9. Press the Mode button to end.

TEMPERATURE SETTING

Set point
The thermostat normally displays the actual temperature. To view the setpoint, press the button briefly. The setpoint will appear for the next 5 seconds.
To change the setpoint, press the button until the desired temperature is displayed. To scroll faster, hold the button.

Using a preset temperature
The thermostat has 3 preset temperatures:

• Comfort temperature
• Economy temperature
• Vacation temperature

Table 2.

• To use the Comfort or Economy temperature, press the or button respectively. The corresponding icon will be displayed.
• To use the Vacation temperature, press both and buttons simultaneously. The icon will be displayed.

Storing a preset temperature
To store the Comfort or Economy temperature:
Set the desired temperature using the button. Press and hold the appropriate button ( or ) for approximately 3 seconds until the corresponding icon is displayed.
To store the Vacation temperature:
Set the desired temperature using the button. Press and hold both
and buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds until the icon is displayed.

MODES OF OPERATION
Automatic – The temperature is set according to the programmed schedule. To place the thermostat in this mode, press the Mode button until is displayed. The icons of the current period and preset temperature are also displayed.
Temporary Bypass – If you modify the setpoint when the thermostat is in automatic mode, the new setpoint will be used until the end of the current period. When the next period starts, the temperature set for that period becomes the new setpoint. To cancel the bypass, press the Mode button.
Manual – The programmed schedule is not used. The temperature must be set manually. To place the thermostat in this mode:

1. Press the Mode button until is displayed.
2. 2. Set the temperature using the or button.

SCHEDULE
The schedule consists of 4 periods per day which represents a typical weekday. You can program the thermostat to skip the periods that do not apply to your situation. For example, you can skip periods 2 and 3 for the weekend.

The Comfort ( ) temperature is used in periods 1 and 3 and the Economy ( ) temperature is used in periods 2 and 4. For example, when the period changes from 1 to 2, the setpoint automatically changes from Comfort setting ( ) to Economy setting ( ). You can have a different program for each day of the week; i.e., each period can start at different time for each day of the week. The thermostat has been programmed with the following schedule.

To modify the schedule:

1. Press Pgm to access the programming mode. Period 1 is selected.
2. Press Day to select the day to program (hold for 3 seconds to select the entire week).
3. Press Hour and Min to set the start time of the selected period, or press Clear if you want to skip the period (–:– is displayed).
4. Press Pgm to select another period, or press Day to select another day. Then repeat step 3.
5. Press Mode to exit the programming mode.

NOTE: If no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the thermostat will auto- matically exit the programming mode.

POWER OUTAGE
During a power outage, LP (Low Power) appears for the first minute. Then the screen becomes blank. The settings are stored in memory. After initial
installation, product must be connected to power for a minimum of two hours to enable the power outage feature. However, if the power failure exceeds 4 hours, only the thermostat’s clock must be re-adjusted. When power returns, the thermostat will return to the mode of operation active prior to the power failure.
