OPERATION
System Selector Switch
system
cool off heat auto
The System Selector switch on the front of the
thermostat determines the operating mode of the
thermostat. You may select
COOL, OFF, HEAT or
AUTO (RS3210 only).
NOTE: Anytime you install or remove the thermostat from the wall-
plate, slide the System Selector to the OFF position to prevent
the possibility of a rapid system on-off.
Auto Changeover (RS3210 Only)
Auto changeover is the ability of the thermostat to switch automati-
cally 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 cool set-
tings. Likewise, in cooling mode, if the room continues to cool beyond
a set threshold, the thermostat switches to the heat mode and the
associated heat settings.
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 vary from the active setpoint until heating or cooling is called for.
The larger the deadband the more the room temperature will vary.
Fan Switch
fan
on auto
The Fan switch should normally be set in the
AUTO position. The fan will be turned on along
with normal operation of your system. In a
normal gas or oil furnace, the fan will be turned
on by your furnace after its warm-up delay. For electric heat, air
conditioning, and heat pump operation, the fan will turn on with the
system. To run the fan continuously, slide the Fan switch to the
ON position.
Temporary Override
To temporarily change the current set temperature without affecting
your program, follow these steps:
• Press the
UP and DOWN arrows to change to your desired new
temperature.
• After 15 seconds the display will return to the normal run display.
At the next program change, the Temporary Override is canceled, and
the next program temperature becomes the setpoint temperature.
Once you have determined your Personal Program Schedule, you need
to use the instructions under Weekday/Weekend Programming to en-
ter or revise your program settings at a later date. BEFORE program-
ming your settings, there are several important guidelines and helpful
hints to follow.
• The program time can be set in 1 minute increments. This setting
will be the same for both HEAT and COOL programs.
• The program temperature can be set in increments of 1ºF (1ºC).
• The heat setpoint cannot be set higher than the cool setpoint, and
the cool setpoint cannot be set lower than the heat setpoint.
• If the system selector is in AUTO mode, the current system
operating mode ( COOL or HEAT) will be programmed.
• After 15 seconds without a button press, the thermostat will return
to Normal Display mode.
• When setting the program time, note the AM/PM indicator and
make sure the right one is displaying for the setting.

COMPRESSOR PROTECTION
The thermostat provides a 4 minute delay after shutting off the
heating or cooling system before it can be restarted. This feature will
prevent damage to your compressor caused by rapid cycling. Note
that this delay also applies to the heating system control. It does not
provide a delay when there are power outages.
TEMPERATURE RANGE
This thermostat can be set between 45ºF and 90ºF (7ºC and 32ºC).
However, it will display room temperatures from 30ºF to 99ºF (0ºC and
37ºC).
NOTE: If the thermostat measures a temperature over 99ºF (37ºC), HI
will be displayed on the LCD. If the temperature is below 32ºF
(0ºC), LO will be displayed on the LCD.
AUTO CUT-OFF
Your thermostat will automatically shut down in Heat mode if the room
temperature rises above 95ºF (35ºC). It will shut down in Cool mode if
the room temperature drops below 45ºF (7ºC).
Note that if your system has malfunctioned and no longer responds to
thermostat controls, the Auto Cut-Off will not work.
EMERGENCY HEAT - RS3210 WITH HEAT PUMP
Consult with your installer to determine if your system is a heat pump
with an emergency heat system installed. If you have an emergency
heat system you can activate it by pressing the
EMER button. The
display will show an E by the flame icon when the thermostat is in
system HEAT mode.
The main heating system will not receive a call to turn on. This will
allow maintenance to take place on the main heat system. To turn off
the emergency system, press the
EMER button. The E will no longer
be displayed.
POWER FAILURE
Whenever the main power is interrupted or fails, the back-up battery
power will maintain the current settings. The heating and cooling
systems will not function. In the event of a power outage and dead
batteries, the settings will revert to default settings when power is
resumed. You must reprogram your settings.
FILTER MONITOR
The thermostat counts the number of hours your system’s filter has
been in use. To maximize your system’s performance and energy
efficiency, change or clean your filter regularly. When the total system
run time for heat and cool reaches 400 hours, the filter change
indicator (
Check FLtr) will flash as a reminder to check your system’s
filter. Press and hold the FILTER button until Check FLtr no longer
displays. This will reset the filter monitor to zero.

ELEC/GAS switch on the back of the ther-
mostat (see “Figure 2 Electric/Gas Switch (Fan Option)”) and switch it
to the
ELEC position. This will allow the thermostat to energize the fan
immediately on a call for heat.
Press the reset button to accept a change in the switch option.
If your system is not a heat pump system, refer to the Configuration
section in this manual. The RS3210 thermostat must be changed to a
STD type system.
4. Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat.
5. Label each wire to identify which terminal it was connected to.
6. Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a time. DO
NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
7. Install new thermostat using the following procedures.
WARNING: Do not use on circuits exceeding specified voltage. Higher
voltage will damage the control and could cause an
electrical shock or fire hazard. Do not short out terminals
on gas valve or primary control to test.
Incorrect wiring will damage the thermostat and could
cause personal injury and/or property damage.
Attach Thermostat Base to Wall
1. Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Push in on
the tab at the bottom. Gently pull the cover straight off the base.
Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the
unit.
CAUTION: Be certain all power is off to the system.
2. Pull the wires through the hole in the base. Connect the wires
beneath the terminal screws on the base using the table in the
Terminal Connections section.
3. Place the base over the hole in the wall and mark the mounting
hole locations on the wall using the base as a template.
4. Move the base out of the way. Drill the mounting holes.
5. Fasten the base loosely to the wall, using two mounting screws.
Place a level against the bottom of the base, adjust until level,
and then tighten the screws. Leveling is for appearance only
and will not affect the thermostat operation. If you are using
existing mounting holes or if the holes drilled are too large and
do not allow you to tighten the base snugly, use plastic screw
anchors to secure the subbase.
6. Push the excess wire into wall and plug the hole with a fire
resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent
drafts from affecting the thermostat operation.

Replacing Existing Thermostat
WARNING:
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing
fuse or switching circuit breaker to the
OFF position
before installing, removing or cleaning this thermostat.
IMPORTANT:
• Before removing wires from old thermostat, label each wire with
the terminal designation it was removed from.
• Do not install on voltages greater than 30 VAC.
• Do not install on outside walls or in direct sunlight.
1. Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is
complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
2. Remove old thermostat: A standard heat/cool thermostat
consists of three basic parts:
a. The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
b. The base, which is removed by loosening all screws.
c. The switching subbase, or adapter plate is removed by
unscrewing the mounting screws that hold it on the wall.
3. Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires still
attached, remove wallplate from the wall. If the old thermostat
has a wall mounting plate, remove the thermostat and the wall
mounting plate as an assembly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Do not switch system to COOL if the temperature is below 50ºF
(10ºC). This can damage your cooling system and may cause
personal injury.
• 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.
• All wiring must conform to local and national building and
electrical codes and ordinances.
• Use this thermostat only as described in this manual.
CAUTION:
• Read all the information in this manual before installing this
thermostat.
• This thermostat is equipped with automatic compressor protection
to prevent damage due to short cycling or extended power
outages. The short cycle protection provides a 4 minute delay
between heating or cooling cycles to prevent the compressor from
being damaged.
• The batteries must be replaced at least every 18-24 months to
assure proper operation. The thermostat will display a flashing low
battery when it is time to replace the batteries. The manufacturer
recommends inserting fresh batteries before leaving for an
extended period.
