Robertshaw RS4110 User manual

Thank you for purchasing a Robertshaw®thermostat. This manual will
describe how to install and test the Robertshaw single stage thermostats
RS4110, RS5110, RS6110, and two stage RS4220, RS5220, RS6220
thermostats. For complete operation instructions, refer to the Robertshaw
User Manual.
Use the model number to identify your thermostat.
These thermostats have three main parts:
A. The backplate – mounts to the wall and has wire connections.
B. The body – snaps to the backplate and contains the electronics and
programming buttons.
C. The cover – snaps to the top of the body and swings up to give access
to the programming buttons.
Recycling Thermostat
If this thermostat is replacing a thermostat that contains mercury in a sealed
tube, do not place your old thermostat in the garbage. Contact your local
waste management authority for instructions regarding proper disposal of the
thermostat. If you have any questions, call Robertshaw technical support at
1-800-445-8299.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING:
• Always turn off power at main fuse or circuit breaker panel before
installing, removing, cleaning, or servicing thermostat.
• Read all the information in this manual before installing this thermostat.
• This is a 24 VAC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages
higher than 30 VAC.
• All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.
• To take advantage of the Pop-Up Wizard, power should be applied when
the settings are ready to be entered. Fill in the chart in the Pop-Up
Wizard section before applying power.
• This is a dual powered thermostat that will operate on 24 VAC or batteries.
• Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the
system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat and
void the warranty.
• Do not connect ground to any terminal in this unit.
• This thermostat is configured with automatic compressor protection to
prevent damage because of short cycling or extended power outages.
Short cycle protection provides a delay between compressor cycles on
heat pumps.
Replacing Existing Thermostat
1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover from old thermostat to expose wires.
3. Disconnect wires one at a time from existing terminals. Use enclosed
labels to mark existing wires. Refer to cross references in Table 1 if
existing wiring does not directly match the labels.
4. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.

Installing the Robertshaw Thermostat Base
NOTE: For new installations, mount the thermostat on an inside 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. Be certain power is off to the heating and cooling systems.
2. Remove the backplate by placing your finger through the wire opening.
Pull the backplate straight out from the body.
3. Place the backplate in position on the wall. Pull the wires through the
wire opening.
4. Hold the backplate level and mark the mounting holes on the wall.
5. Drill the marked holes using a 5 mm (3/16 in.) drill bit.
6. Tap in the wall anchors and secure the base to the wall with the
supplied screws.
NOTE: The thermostats are designed to also mount on a single gang
junction box.
Providing Power to the Thermostat
To take advantage of the Pop-Up Wizard, power should be applied when the
settings are ready to be entered. Fill in the chart in the Pop-Up Wizard
section before applying power.
These thermostats will run on either two AA batteries or 24 VAC. If the
common wire from the transformer is not available, the unit must be powered
by two AA batteries.
Thermostats with batteries and powered by 24 VAC will continue to function if
the 24 VAC fails.
Maintaining the Batteries
When the batteries are low, the thermostat will enter a low power mode. Low
battery mode has two levels.
• LEVEL 1: The low battery icon will be displayed.
• LEVEL 2: The low battery icon will flash indicating
that THE SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.

System Switch Selection
The body of the thermostat has two switches on the backside. They are
accessible by removing the backplate from the body. The installer should set
these to match the system.
If the thermostat is controlling a heat pump system, set the first switch to
Heat Pump. The second switch can be left as is.
If the thermostat is controlling a non-heat pump system, set the first switch to
Non-Heat Pump. The second switch must be set to match the system as Gas
or Electric.
If Non-Heat Pump and Gas are selected, the heating system will control the fan.
If Non-Heat Pump and Electric are selected, the thermostat will control the fan.
Connecting the Wires
1. The wire ends should be stripped back 8 mm (5/16 in.).
2. Use the Wiring Diagrams and secure the wires into the terminal strip.
If replacing another thermostat, the wires should have been labeled.
Match the labels to the terminals. Tighten the screws.
3. Pull lightly on each wire to ensure the connection is secure.
NOTE: Nightlight feature is only enabled when the RH/R and C terminals
are connected.

Wiring Diagrams

Applying Power
Before applying power, fill in the chart in the Pop-Up Wizard section of
this manual.
When 24V AC power or battery power is first applied to the thermostat, the
display will show the model number followed by the Pop-Up Wizard.
The thermostat will start normal operation following the Pop-Up Wizard.
Power is applied to the thermostat two ways:
1. Installing the batteries.
2. Not installing the batteries and connecting the thermostat body to a
backplate that has the C terminal connected and 24V AC present.
Note: A thermostat powered by 24V AC will use the batteries as backup
power if the 24V AC fails.
Installing Batteries
To remove the battery compartment
gently squeeze the ribbed edges on
both sides.
The battery compartment will pull down
from the thermostat body and will
detach. Install two AA batteries
following the polarity as shown inside
the compartment. Place compartment
back into the thermostat.
Connecting The Body
Attach the thermostat body to the backplate by holding it directly in front of
the backplate. The edges will match and the wiring connections will make
contact. Push the body in until it snaps in place.

Installation Test Utility
WARNING: The installation test procedures can damage the
heating/cooling equipment if used incorrectly. These procedures should only
be performed by trained HVAC personnel.
The following instructions may be used to test the heating/cooling system for
correct function.
To enter the test mode press and hold and for ten seconds.
While in test mode, only the , and Start/Stop Schedule buttons
are active.
Short Cycle protection is disabled when using the test utility.
Push the Start/Stop schedule button at any time to exit test mode.
In the test mode:
Press to force the fan on or off. The fan icon will rotate. If the selector
