electric, oil, heat pump, and millivolt heating and electric cooling
systems. The RS5110 is a single stage thermostat while the RS5220 is a
two-stage thermostat.

weekdays will operate on one schedule and the 2 weekend days will
operate on a second schedule
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
