Honeywell RCHT8610WF Series Smart Thermostat Installation Guide Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: T5 Smart Thermostat Following Schedule Programmable Thermostat Quick Install Guide Read before installing
• Page 2: Included in your box: Quick install guide Screws and anchors UWP mounting system T5 smart thermostat
• Page 3: Get the most from T5 Smart Thermostat Multiple programming options that fit your lifestyle: Location-based scheduling uses your smartphone’s location to save energy and adjust comfort upon your return. Smart scheduling combines geofencing and time scheduling to accommodate busy lifestyles. Time-based scheduling allows programming for one week with different schedules for each day. No scheduling option lets you manually adjust temperature set points. Smart alerts provide push notifications for filter changes and extreme indoor temperatures. Smart response learns your heating and cooling system to optimize temperature delivery. Auto change from heat to cool automatically determines the need for heating or cooling.
• Page 4: Tools you will need include a smartphone to install your thermostat and photograph existing wiring. A Phillips screwdriver and a small flat head screwdriver are necessary. You will also need a pencil, level, and your home Wi-Fi password. The Honeywell Home app is required to configure your system and connect to your smartphone. Additional tools you may need are a wire stripper, needle-nose pliers, and a drill with a 7/32 inch drill bit.
• Page 5: Caution: electrical hazard Can cause electrical shock or equipment damage. Disconnect power before beginning installation. Caution: equipment damage hazard Compressor protection is bypassed during testing. To prevent equipment damage, avoid cycling the compressor quickly. Caution: mercury notice If this product is replacing a control that contains mercury in a sealed tube, do not place the old control in the trash. Required: 24 VAC power (“C” wire) Caution: electronic waste notice The product should not be disposed of with other household waste. Compatibility Compatible with most heating, cooling, and heat pump systems. Does not work with electric baseboard heat (120-240V). Does not work with millivolt systems. Does not support input (S terminals) for indoor and outdoor sensors. Does not support relay (U terminals) for ventilation.
• Page 6: Turn off the power at the breaker box or switch that controls your heating/cooling system. Check that your system is off by changing the temperature on your old thermostat. If you don’t hear the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off. If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank display, skip this step. Remove your old thermostat from the wall plate by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps. Do not remove any wires from your thermostat at this time.
• Page 7: Make sure there are no 120/240V wires. If your thermostat is 120V or higher, it will not work. Take a picture of your current wiring for reference. Use wire labels to identify wires if colors are faded. Remove any jumpers before continuing with installation. A jumper connects one terminal to another and must be removed. Use a screwdriver to release wires from the terminal. The thermostat does not need jumpers. Be sure to include the letters next to the terminals in your picture. If unsure, visit honeywellhome.com for assistance.
• Page 8: Record if you have wires in the following terminals. Do not include jumpers as a part of your count. Write down the color of the wires. Check mark the wires that are connected to terminals. Check all that apply (Not all will apply). S and U terminals are not supported with this thermostat. If there are wires in terminals that are not listed, you will need additional wiring support. Visit honeywellhome.com to find out if the thermostat will work for you.
• Page 9: Disconnect the wires and remove the old wall plate. Use a screwdriver to release wires from terminals. To prevent wires from falling back into the wall, wrap the wires around a pencil.
• Page 10: Installing your T5 Smart Thermostat Mounting System T5 Smart Thermostat Screws Anchors Wall
• Page 11: Bundle and insert wires through the UWP. Pull open the UWP and insert the bundle of wires through the back of the UWP. Make sure at least 1/4-inch of each wire is exposed for easy insertion into the wire terminals. It is recommended that you use the wall anchors included in the box to mount your thermostat. You can use the UWP to mark where you want to place the wall anchors. Level the wall plate. Mark the location of the wall anchors using a pencil. Drill the holes. Insert wall anchors. Make sure anchors are flush with the wall.
• Page 12: Set the R-switch up or down based on your wiring notes in Step 7. Insert wires into the inner holes of the terminals on the UWP. If you have 1 R-wire (R, Rh, or Rc), set R-switch to the up position. Insert your R-wire (R, Rh or Rc) into R-terminal. If you have 2 R-wires (R or Rh, and Rc), set R-switch to the down position. Insert your Rc wire into Rc-terminal. Insert your R or Rh wire into R-terminal.
• Page 13: This wiring is just an example, actual wiring may vary. Do not mount the UWP to the wall prior to connecting the wires. Depress the tabs to put the wires into the inner holes of their corresponding terminals on the UWP. Gently tug on the wires to verify they are secure. If you need to release the wires again, push down the terminal tabs on the sides of the UWP. Mount the UWP using the provided screws. Install all three screws for a secure fit on your wall. Close the door after you’re finished. Use 3x supplied screws #8 1-1/2”.
• Page 14: Attach your thermostat. Align the thermostat onto the UWP and firmly snap it into place. Turn on the power at the breaker box or switch that controls the heating/cooling system. Return to the thermostat. Confirm the screen shows START SETUP. If it does, continue to “Setup with Honeywell Home App” on page 15. If your thermostat does not show START SETUP, please contact Resideo support.
• Page 15: Setup with Honeywell Home App Start setup with the app by touching START SETUP on the thermostat. Select to setup with the app by touching Yes on the USE APP screen. Your thermostat is now ready to be configured using the Honeywell Home app. Download the “Honeywell Home” app from the App Store or Google Play.
