2. To remove cover, pull gently at the seam at the top.
3. Put thermostat base against the wall where you plan to mount it (Be sure wires will feed through
the wire opening in the base of the thermostat).
4. Mark the placement of the mounting holes.
5. Set thermostat base and cover away from working area.
6. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill holes in the places you have marked for mounting.
7. Use a hammer to tap supplied anchors in mounting holes.
8. Align thermostat base with mounting holes and feed the control wires through slit in thermal
intrusion barrier and into wire opening.
9. Use supplied screws to mount thermostat base to wall.
10. Insert stripped, labeled wires in matching wire terminals.
CAUTION!: Be sure exposed portion of wires does not touch other wires.
11. Gently tug wire to be sure of proper connection. Double check that each wire is connected to the

Mode of Operation
RT6P is a 1-stage cool/2-stage heat thermostat. It functions with air conditioning, heat pumps, or
electric heat systems. It is programmable for 7 days a week and has auto changeover capability.
The thermostat activates the heating appliance when the room temperature is below the set heat
temperature (by the dierential temperature). The RT6P will stop outputting when the call for heat has
been satisfied. With heat pumps, the thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes
after it turns o to protect your compressor.
When the room temperature is greater than the set cool temperature (by the dierential temperature),
the cooling device is activated. The RT6P will stop outputting when the call for cooling is satisfied.
The thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns o to protect your
compressor.
The RT6P has four possible operating modes: OFF , Heat , Cool and Heat/Cool mode. In o mode,
the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. In heat mode, the thermostat controls the
heating system. In the cool mode, the thermostat controls the cooling system. In the Heat/Cool mode,
the thermostat controls the heating and cooling system
The manual fan can be turned on in all operating modes using the fan button.
In program mode, the thermostat will automatically be controlled by the set program. Program mode
can function with heat mode, cool mode, or heat & cool mode. The clock display alternates with the
set temperature display for heat & cool mode.
The program schedule can be overridden by changing the set temperature (up or down button). This
puts the RT6P thermostat into a 2-hour temporary hold. After 2 hours, it will automatically return to the
program schedule.
