RTH2520 Programmable Thermostat 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). 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. Installation and User Guide 1. Introduction The RTH2520 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. Display Adjustment buttons 2.2 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. Backlight button Remove the thermostat faceplate. Loosen the locking screw in order to separate the thermostat from its baseplate (the screw cannot be completely removed). System operating mode selector Fan operating mode selector Programming buttons 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 · Backlit display · Battery replacement indicator · 7-day programming including: - Preprogrammed energy-saving schedule - Early Start - Temporary bypass - Time display (12 h or 24 h) · Filter replacement indicator · Automatic daylight savings changeover · Interchangeable faceplates (titanium, charcoal & taupe) Gently tilt the thermostat upwards. Mark and bore the appropriate mounting holes (using a 3/16" drill bit) 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. 2.3 Connecting the Thermostat Refer to the following table for matching the wire labels with the thermostat terminals.

Installation 2.1 Removing the Old Thermostat IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, CUT POWER TO THE HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM. Remove the old thermostat to access the wires. Warning: 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. RTH2520 Note: Do not connect wires identified as C, X or B. Wrap the bare end of these wires with electrical tape. Important: The red jumper wire between Rh and Rc terminals must be removed in a 5-wire installation. 69-1867EF-1 13/6/06 1/4 2.3.1 2-wire Heating 2.4 Setting JP2 Jumper The jumper specifies how the fan will operate when it is placed in automatic mode (see section 3.2). Jumper Heat relay JP2 jumper HG HE Leave the jumper in this position if you have a gas or oil heating system. Move the jumper to this position if you have an electric heating system. 2.3.2 2-wire Cooling 2.5 Installing the Batteries Jumper Cool relay 2.3.3 3-wire Heating Gently pull out the battery cover. Install the batteries as shown. Observe the polarity. Jumper Heat relay Fan relay Reinstall the battery cover. You will hear a clicking sound. After the batteries are installed, the thermostat performs a sequence of tests for approximately 5 seconds. Afterwards, the screen displays the actual temperature. It is normal that the displayed temperature be higher than the ambient temperature if you are holding the thermostat. Once installed on the wall, the thermostat will display the ambient temperature. By default, the setpoint is 70°F (21°C). The time and day settings flash to indicate that they must be set (see section 5.1).

Secure the thermostat using the locking screw and install the faceplate. Apply power back to the system. 2.3.6 5-wire Heating and Cooling 3. Basic Functions 3.1 System Operating Mode Fan relay Heat relay Cool relay Use this selector switch to place the system in Heating mode (HEAT) or Cooling mode (COOL), or to set both modes to 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 during the delay. 69-1867EF-1 13/6/06 2/4 Note: Remove the red jumper wire between terminals Rc and Rh. RTH2520 3.2 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 in a 2-wire installation as the fan is not connected to the thermostat in this type of installation. AUTO ON The fan operates only when the heating or cooling system is On (typical setting). The fan operates continuously. Use this setting to improve air circulation and air cleaning. After replacing the batteries, set the time, day and date (see sections 5.1 and 5.2). However, the temperature and program 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. 4.
