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 24V AC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages
higher than 30V AC.
• All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.
• 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 heating
and cooling cycles on heat pumps.
Detailed mounting and wiring instructions are explained in the Installation
Manual.
Refer to the pop up wizard section in the installation manual for a
complete list of factory defaults and contractor settings.
Providing Power to the Thermostat
For wiring diagrams refer to the Installation Manual.
The thermostats will operate using 24V AC or two AA batteries. When the
two AA batteries are installed the thermostat will continue to run if the
24V AC fails.

Installing or Changing the 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.
When the batteries are low the thermostat will enter a low battery mode.
Low battery mode has two levels.
• LEVEL 1: The low battery icon will be displayed. The
thermostat will continue to operate. Replace the
batteries as soon as possible
• LEVEL 2: The low battery icon will flash. If 24V AC is
present the thermostat will continue to operate if
the batteries are discharged or removed. If 24V AC
is not present the thermostat runs on batteries only
and THE SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE. Replace batteries
immediately.
The clock will continue to run for 10 minutes when the batteries are
removed.
Replace batteries if leaving thermostat unattended for more than 30 days.

The operation mode will be one of the following:
The fan setting is Auto.
The keypad has no password protection.
Refer to the pop up wizard section in the installation manual for a
complete list of factory defaults and contractor settings.
Emergency Heat
Your system may include Emergency Heat. The RS6220 thermostats have
an emergency heat capability for multi stage heat pump systems. To
determine if your system is capable of using emergency heat contact your
contractor. Use the button to enter the EMER mode. An E will be
displayed with the Heat symbol. This mode is used to bypass the heat
pump when it needs servicing or when it cannot keep up with the heat
demand.
Auto Changeover
Auto changeover is the ability of the thermostat to switch automatically
between heating settings and cooling settings. This is useful in Spring and
Fall when the days are warm and the nights are cool. In heat mode if the
room continues to warm beyond a set threshold the thermostat switches
to the cool mode and the associated cooling settings. The reverse is also
true.
As the room temperature changes, the thermostat will call for heating or
cooling as needed. To prevent the heating and cooling systems from
overriding each other, an automatic changeover deadband is used.
The deadband is the number of degrees that the room temperature can
move away from the active setpoint until heating or cooling is called for.
The larger the deadband the more the room temperature will vary.
Making Changes To the Programmed Settings
Any setting can be changed when it is flashing by pushing or
If a button is not pushed for 10 seconds the thermostat returns to
operation.
The following buttons can be accessed from the front panel.

To exit the changes and save:
press START/STOP SCHEDULE. The thermostat will return to
operation.
SCAL = Scale in °F (Fahrenheit) or °C (Celsius)
CLOC = Clock setting in 12 or 24 hour readings
LITE = Display backlight always on ”Y” or off ”n”. Also called the
nightlight feature. If the thermostat has been wired to enable this
feature it will be displayed and the setting can be changed.
DIFF = The differential keeps the thermostat from turning on for small
changes in temperature. When in Fahrenheit the range is 0.5 to 3.0
Degrees. In Celsius the range is 0.5 to 1.5 Degrees. The differential is
factory set at 1.0 F Degree (0.5 C Degree). This means that whenever
the room temperature is more than 1 F Degree (0.5 C Degree)
different from the set temperature the system will turn on. If the
system is turning on too often, increase the differential setting. Note
that a larger differential will mean the room temperature changes
more before the system turns on.
DIF2 = SECOND STAGE DIFFERENTIAL = Operates with the first stage to
control a second heating/cooling system. This number will be added
to the first stage differential (See: Two Stage Systems). If the first
stage is running too often lower the settings. This will turn the
second stage on to help the first stage. If both stages are coming on
too often then increase this setting to delay the second stage.
8

DLY2=SECOND STAGE DELAY = This timer starts when the first stage turns
on. It resets when the first stage turns off. If this timer runs out the
second stage will turn on (See Two Stage Systems).
DEDB = Deadband for auto changeover = the number of degrees that the
room temperature can move away from the active setpoint until
heating or cooling is called for. The larger the deadband the more
the room temperature will vary. This can be from heat to cool or cool
to heat.
HI = High Heat Limit = This is the highest allowed heating setpoint. The
user will not be allowed to set a schedule setpoint or override
temperature higher than this value.
LO = Low Cool Limit = This is the lowest allowed cooling setpoint. The
user will not be allowed to set a schedule setpoint or override
temperature lower than this value.
CHECK = Timer to remind the home owner to maintain the filter. Default
setting is off. The timer runs when the system is on. It can be set at
0 (OFF) or up to 9900 hours. When the time expires CHECK FLTR is
displayed. Press any button to reset and return to the normal display.
9

CYCL = Cycle Timer allows a compressor to rest between cycles. Can be
set from 0 to 5 minutes in 1 min increments.
WARNING: A wrong short cycle setting can
damage your equipment.This should only be
changed by a trained HVAC professional.
CAL = Calibration offset. Changes the displayed temperature from the
actual temperature by +3 to -3 degrees in one degree increments.
Increasing the offset by +2 will cause the thermostat to display a
temperature that is 2 degrees higher than the actual room
temperature
