1. Overview

The Honeywell Home RTH7560E 7-Day Flexible Programmable Thermostat is designed to provide you with maximum comfort and energy savings. This thermostat offers 7-day flexible programming, an extra-large backlit display, smart response learning, and a UWP mounting system for easy installation and upgrades.

2. Installation

1. Turn off power to your heating and cooling system at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
2. Remove the existing thermostat, but keep the wires connected.
3. Label the wires with the provided stickers according to their current connections.
4. Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.
5. Install the UWP mounting system on the wall using the provided screws and anchors. Make sure it is level.
6. Connect the labeled wires to the corresponding terminals on the thermostat.
7. Insert 2 AA batteries (not included) into the thermostat.
8. Attach the thermostat to the UWP mounting system by aligning the pins and snapping it into place.
9. Turn the power back on to your heating and cooling system.

3. Programming

Set the time and date on the thermostat by following the on-screen prompts. To program your heating and cooling schedule, follow these steps:

1. Select the desired programming mode: 7-Day, 5-2 Day, or 5-1-1 Day.
2. Set the desired start time and temperature for each period (Wake, Leave, Return, and Sleep) for each day of the week.
3. Save your settings and exit the programming mode.

4. Operating Modes

The thermostat has multiple operating modes:

• Heat: The thermostat controls the heating system.
• Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling system.
• Off: The thermostat does not control the heating or cooling system.
• Auto: The thermostat automatically switches between heating and cooling based on the set temperature.
• Fan On: The fan runs continuously.
• Fan Auto: The fan runs only when the heating or cooling system is active.
• Fan Circ: The fan runs periodically to circulate air (33% of the time when heating or cooling is not needed).

5. Troubleshooting

1. If the thermostat is not functioning, check the batteries and replace them if necessary.
2. If the thermostat is not controlling the heating or cooling system, ensure the wires are connected correctly and securely.
3. If the thermostat is not maintaining the desired temperature, adjust the programming settings and check for drafts or other factors that may affect the thermostat's temperature reading.
4. If the display is not working, check the batteries and ensure the thermostat is properly connected to the UWP mounting system.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the thermostat be powered by the C wire?
A: No, the thermostat requires 2 AA batteries for power and cannot be powered by the C wire.

Q: What is the temperature variance tolerance?
A: Honeywell's temperature variance tolerance is 5 degrees.

Q: Can I adjust the ambient temperature reading?
A: No, there is no offset adjustment for the ambient temperature reading.

Q: Can I use this thermostat with a two-wire system?
A: Yes, the thermostat is compatible with two-wire systems (R/W).

Q: Does this thermostat have Wi-Fi or geofencing capabilities?
A: No, this thermostat does not have Wi-Fi or geofencing capabilities.

Q: What is the Honeywell Home RTH7560E 7-Day Flexible Programmable Thermostat?
A: The Honeywell Home RTH7560E 7-Day Flexible Programmable Thermostat is a thermostat that allows you to program your heating and cooling preferences for the week ahead. It has 7-day flexible scheduling, which means you can program it for different parts of the day or set one schedule for the whole week.

Q: What are the features of this thermostat?
A: This thermostat has an extra-large backlit display that shows you the time, current room temperature, and your temperature set point simultaneously. It also has smart response learning which learns your heating and cooling run times to deliver your right temperature when you want it. Other features include change reminders for air filter replacement and low battery signals, and a UWP mounting system that simplifies installation with uniform wiring and fast, easy future product upgrades.

Q: Does this thermostat run on battery power all the time or are the batteries for back up power only?
A: The AA batteries are required to power this thermostat. It cannot use a 'C' wire for power.

Q: Can this unit be programmed for different parts of the day, such as low @ AM, hi @ Noon, back to low @ night?
A: Yes, this thermostat is programmable for 1 to at least 4 different temperature control periods per 24 hours. It comes out of the box setup for "WAKE", ~to Work, "HOME", and "SLEEP". The periods can be renamed, and can be set to start at any hour and minute within the 24-hour day.

Q: Does it switch from heat to cool automatically?
A: Yes, it automatically switches from heat to A/C if programmed to do so.

Q: What is the lowest temperature it will go to for A/C?
A: The lowest temperature it allows is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Q: What type of staging does this use?
A: This thermostat can go up to two-stage, but it has values that can be altered in controls.

Q: Does it work with Amazon Echo?
A: No, this thermostat does not work with Amazon Echo as it is not a smart thermostat.

Q: What is the battery life (when connected to C wire or not)?
A: The battery life is not specified by the manufacturer, but they recommend replacing the batteries yearly even without seeing a warning.

Q: Can the day temperature have multiple settings?
A: Yes, you can have four different settings for day temperatures that are set for different times of the day (Wake, Away, Home, Sleep). You can set the temperature to automatically go to 72 degrees when you wake up at 7 am, then 65 degrees when you leave for work at 9 am, then 72 degrees when you get home at 6 pm, then 68 degrees when you go to sleep at 11 pm (or any particular temperature and time you want for each setting).

Overall, the Honeywell Home RTH7560E 7-Day Flexible Programmable Thermostat is a great choice for those who need a programmable thermostat that does a good job. It offers great features like an extra-large backlit display and smart response learning. The installation process is easy and straightforward.
