Thermostatshould NOT be mounted:
SCloseto a window, on an outsidewall, or next to a door leading
tothe outside.
SExposedto direct light andheat from the sun, a lamp, fireplace,
oro ther heat--radiating object which may cause a false readin g.
SCloseto or in directairflow from supply registersand return--air
grilles.
SInareas with poorair circulation,such as behind a door orin an
alcove.

Step 2 — Install Thermostat

ELECTRICALOPERATION HAZARD
Failureto follow this warningcould result in personalinjury
ordeath.
Before installing thermostat, turn off all power to unit. There
maybe more than 1 disconnect.Lock out and tag switchwith
asuitable warninglabel.

!WARNING

1. Turn OFF allpower to unit.
2. If an existing thermostat is being replaced:
a. Remove existing thermostat from wall.
b. Disconnectwires from existing thermostat,one at a
time. Becarefu l not to allow wires to fall back into wall.
c. As each wire is disconn ected, record wire color and
terminal marking.
d. Discard or recycle old thermostat.
ENVIRONMENTALHAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in enviro nmental
damage.
Mercury is a hazardous waste. Federalregulations requirethat
Mercurybe disposed of properly.
CAUTION

!

3. Separate front and back plastic assembly o fth ermostat.
4. Route thermostat wires through hole in mounting base.
Level mounting base against wall (for aesthetic value only,
thermostatneed not be levelfor proper operation) and mark
wallthrough 2 mounting holes.
5. Drill two 3/16--in. mounting holes in wall where marked.
6. Secure back plate to wall with 2 anchors and screws
provided making sure all wires extend through hole in
plastic.
7. Connect wiresto proper terminallocation on backplate.
8. Push any excess wire back into wall. Seal hole in wall to
prevent air leaks. Leaks can affect thermostat o peration.
Any excess wire left inside thermostat casing may also
affect thermostat operation by interfering with airflow
across the temperature sensor.
9. Snap thermostat togeth erm aking sure assembly is secure.
10. Turn ON powerto unit.
On powerup, depending on the thermostat modelbeing used, the
LCD readout will display eitherAC for air conditioner model
(1--stageheat/1--stagecool) or HP for heat pump model (2--stage
heat/1--stagecool).

Step 3 — Set Thermostat Configuration

Configuration options enable the installer to configure the
thermostat for a particular installation.
Theseare not presented to the homeowner and therefore must be
properly set by the installer. Following is a list of the options
available, an explanation of their function, and their factory d efault
settings.Not all numbersare used in the Legacy Line--RNCSeries
because not all options are available in th is series.

ConfigurationOptions --Summary:

Option01 -- Equipmenttype
Option 03 --Fahren heit/Centigrade
Option 04 --Fan (G) on with W ou tput
Option 10 --Reversin g valve
Option13 -- Room air temperatureoffset
ToEnter The ConfigurationMode:
Pressand hold the FAN keyfor about 10 seconds untilthe display
changes so that only two pairs of digits are showing. The
configuration number, now 01, will appear in the
setpoint/temperature location and the config uration setting will
appearin the clock location. The configurationnumber (left pair)
will be flashing which means it can be adjusted using the UP and
DOWNkeys. To cause the oppositepair to flash (to be adjustable),
press the H/C key. Successive presses of the H /C key alternate
between the configuration number (left) and theconfiguration
setting (right). To exit the configuration mode, press the
HOLD/END key. If no key is pressed for 3 minutes, the
configuration mode will automatically exit, retu rning the
thermostatto normal operation.

ConfigurationOptions --Selection:

Option01 -- Equipmenttype
Selections: with H P thermostat: HP, AC, PH, or PC
with AC thermostat: AC or PC
Meanings:
PH or PC selects PTAC units (Packaged Terminial Air
Conditioners) whichare used in motel rooms and other rented
spaces. When this option is selected, the d isplay shows only the
setpoint, not the room temperature. Also, the compressor
timeguard is disabled, allowing the compressor to turn on
immediatelywhen a demandis established.
HPor PH controls 1 speed heatpump with 1 stage of aux heat.
ACor PC controls 1 speed air conditionerwith one stage of heat.
Note that thisoption allows a HP thermostat to be convertedto
controlan AC system.
Option03 --Fahrenheit/Centigrade
Selections: F= Fahrenheit — This is default.
C = Centigrade.
Selects temperature display units.
Option04 -- Fan (G)ON with W output
Selections: OF = G not energized with W — This is default.
ON = G energized with W.
This selection determines whether the fan (G) is to be ON or O FF
when the W (furnace or strip heat) is ON. Furnaces and fan coils
which manage their own blowers do not requirea separate G
signal. Some auxiliary heaters require a separate G signal to operate
the blower when W is applied.
This option allows a HP thermostat to control an AC system.
Option10 --Reversing valve
Selections: C = reversing v alve energized in cooling —This is
default.
H =rev ersing valve energized in heating — Only
appears in HP systems.
