Removing your old thermostat

1 Turn power OFF.

To protect yourself and your equipment, turn off the power at the breaker box or the switch that controls your heating/cooling system.

2 Check that your system is off.

Change the temperature on your old thermostat to be above room temperature in heat mode or below it in cool mode. If you don’t hear the system turn on within 5 minutes, the power is off.

Note: If you have a digital thermostat that has a blank display, skip this step.

3 Remove the old thermostat’s

faceplate.

On most thermostats, you can take off the faceplate by grasping and gently pulling. Some thermostats may have screws, buttons, or clasps.

Do not remove any wires from your thermostat at this time!

4 Make sure there are no 120/240V

wires.

Do you have thick black wires with wire nuts?

Is your thermostat 120V or higher?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, you have a line voltage system and the thermostat will not work.

5 Take a picture of how your wiring

looks right now.

Be sure to include the letters next to the terminals where the wires are inserted. This will be a helpful reference when wiring your new thermostat.

Tip: If the color of your wires has faded or if 2 terminals have the same wire color, use the wire labels provided in the package to label each wire.

6 Record which R-wire(s) you have and write down the color of the wire(s).

Note: Do not include jumpers as a part of your count. The thermostat does not need jumpers.

7 Record the remaining wires and write down the color of the wires.

Check mark the wires that are connected to terminals. Next to the check mark, write down the color of the wire. Do not include jumpers as a part of your

count. Check all that apply (Not all will apply):

Terminal Wire Color

NOTES:

• C does not power the thermostat display or operations; batteries are

always required.

• If K was used on old thermostat you have a wire-saver at the equipment.

Re-wiring would need to be done so that Y and G are used instead of K.

• The RTH5160 thermostat does not support L/A, S, or U terminals.

• If there are wires in terminals that are not listed, you will need

additional wiring support. Visit yourhome.honeywell.com/support to ﬁnd out if the thermostat will work for you.

Quick Installation Guide

8 Disconnect the wires and remove the old wall plate.

Use a screwdriver to release wires from terminals. Then, use a wire label to identify each wire as it’s disconnected. The letter on the wire label should match the letter on the terminal.

Tip: To prevent wires from falling back into the wall, wrap the wires around a pencil.

9 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.

Anchors Wall

RTH516 0 Series

10 Insert the wall anchors.

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.

a) Level the wall plate. b) Mark the location of the wall

anchors using a pencil. c) Drill the holes. d) Insert wall anchors.

e) Make sure anchors are ﬂush with

wall.

Tip: Use a 7/32 drill bit.

11 Set R-switch position and insert R-wire(s).

Set the R-switch up or down based on your wiring notes in Step 6.

Insert wires into the inner holes of the terminals on the UWP. The tabs will stay down once the wire is inserted.

NOTE: Alternate wiring options are shown on pages 1112.

If you have 1 R-wire (R, Rh, or Rc)

1. Set R-switch to the up

position.

If you have 2 R-wires (R or Rh, and Rc)

1. Set R-switch to the down

position.

2. Insert your

R-wire (R, Rh or Rc) into R-terminal.

2. Insert your Rc wire

into Rc-terminal

3. Insert your R

or Rh wire into RTerminal.

Quick Installation Guide

12 Connect remaining wires.

Depress the tabs to put the wires into the inner holes of the corresponding terminals on the UWP (one wire per terminal) until it is firmly in place.

Gently tug on the wires to verify they are secure.

Tip: If you need to release a wire

again, push down the corresponding terminal tab on the side of the UWP.

NOTE: Alternate wiring options are
