Thank you for purchasing a Robertshaw® thermostat. This manual will
describe how to install and test the Robertshaw two stage RS4220C,
RS5220C, and three stage* RS4320C, RS6320C thermostats. For complete
operation instructions, refer to the Robertshaw User Manual.
Use the model number to identify your thermostat.
These thermostats have three main parts:
A. The backplate – mounts to the wall and has wire connections.
B. The body – snaps to the backplate and contains the electronics and
programming buttons.
C. The cover – snaps to the top of the body and swings up to give
access to the programming buttons.
Recycling Thermostat
If this thermostat is replacing a thermostat that contains mercury in a
sealed tube, do not place your old thermostat in the garbage. Contact
your local waste management authority for instructions regarding
proper disposal of the thermostat. If you have any questions, call
Robertshaw technical support at 1-844-362-4822.

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.
• This is a dual powered thermostat that will operate on 24V AC
or batteries.
• 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
compressor cycles on heat pumps.
Replacing Existing Thermostat
1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover from old thermostat to expose wires.
3. Disconnect wires one at a time from existing terminals. Use
enclosed labels to mark existing wires. Refer to cross references in
Table 1 if existing wiring does not directly match the labels.
4. Remove existing thermostat base from wall.

Installing the Robertshaw Thermostat Base
NOTE: For new installations, mount the thermostat on an inside wall, five
feet above the floor. Do not install behind a door, in a corner,
near air vents, in direct sunlight, or near any heat or steam
generating fixtures. Installation at these locations will affect
thermostat operation.
1. Be certain power is off to the heating and cooling systems.
2. Remove the backplate by placing your finger through the wire
opening. Pull the backplate straight out from the body.
3. Place the backplate in position on the wall. Pull the wires through
the wire opening.
4. Hold the backplate level and mark the mounting holes on the wall.
5. Drill the marked holes using a 5 mm (3/16 in.) drill bit.
6. Tap in the wall anchors and secure the base to the wall with the
supplied screws.
NOTE: The thermostats are designed to also mount on a single gang
junction box.
Providing Power to the Thermostat
To take advantage of the Pop-Up Wizard, power should be applied when
the settings are ready to be entered. Fill in the chart in the Pop-Up
Wizard section before applying power.
These thermostats will run on either two AA batteries or 24V AC. If the
common wire from the transformer is not available, the unit must be
powered by two AA batteries.
Thermostats with batteries and powered by 24V AC will continue to
function if the 24V AC fails.
Maintaining the Batteries
When the batteries are low, the thermostat will enter a
low power mode. Low battery mode has two levels.
• LEVEL 1: The low battery icon will be displayed.
• LEVEL 2: The low battery icon will flash indicating
that THE SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE.
