Tools
You will need #1 Phillips screwdriver (small) and
Drill with 3/16-in. (4.8mm) bit for this installation.
Location
• On replacement installations, mount the new thermostat in place of the old
one if possible.
• Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor,
and in a room that is used often.
• Do not install it where there are unusual heating conditions, such as: in
direct sunlight; near a lamp, radio, television, radiator register, or fireplace;
near hot water pipes in a wall; near a stove on the other side
of a wall
• Do not locate in unusual cooling conditions, such as: on a wall separating
an unheated room; or in a draft from a stairwell, door, or window.
• On new Installations, follow the guidelines listed below.
• Do not locate in a damp area. This can lead to corrosion that will shorten
thermostat life.

• Do not locate where air circulation is poor, such as: in a corner or an
alcove; or behind an open door.
• Do not install the unit until all construction work and painting has been
completed.
• This thermostat does not require leveling.

C A U T I O N
• Your thermostat is a precise instrument.
Please handle it with care.
• Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or
servicing thermostat or any part of the system. Do not

(1.5m)
turn electricity back on until work is completed.
• Do not short (jumper) across electric terminals at control
on furnace or air conditioner to test the system. This will
damage the thermostat and void your warranty.
• All wiring must conform to local codes and ordinances.
• This thermostat is designed for use with 24 volt AC and
millivolt systems. The thermostat should be limited to a
maximum of 1.0 amps; higher amperage may cause
damage to the thermostat.

Label Wires to Old Unit
• Switch electricity to the furnace and air conditioner OFF;
then proceed with the following steps.
• Remove cover from old thermostat. Most are snap-on types and simply pull
off. Some have locking screws on the side or front. These must be loosened.
• Note the letters printed near the terminals.
• Carefully attach labels (enclosed) to each wire.
You must have all the wires labeled before you proceed.

NOTE: Replace the batteries once a year
or when this low battery indicator appears
on the right side of the unit.
Power Options
Please be aware of the following power options
1) The 6010 can run on batteries only. (2AA Alkaline)
The batteries will last well over 1 year. If the batteries are not replaced the thermostat will
stop working.
2) The 6010 can run on the C wire if available.
As shown in the wiring diagrams, The C wire is the other side of the 24VAC heating
transformer. If the C wire is used, the batteries are not needed.

Make sure your wires are labeled. This is necessary to determine which step-by-step
wiring diagram you should use. This may require you to find the 'other end' connection for
each wire on your heating or air conditioning equipment and read the label there.
If you have a Zoned Heating/Cooling system with multiple thermostats, please refer to
our website at www.ritetemp-thermostats.com for installation notes or call 1-877-505-2353.
Before you Connect Wires
Please refer back to these guidelines for safe and secure wire
connections.
•
Take care not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
•
Strip insulation 3/8 in. (9.5mm) from wire ends.
•
Connect labeled wires only to a terminal with corresponding letter.
•
Bend the wire slightly, insert the wire under the contact plate and
tighten the screw down onto the wire.

Check Unit
Follow these procedures to verify you have correctly
installed the unit.
To check Fan: (If you connected the G wire)
• Switch Mode to OFF during fan test.
• Switch the FAN switch to the ON position. Verify air is blowing from vents.
• After test, return to Fan switch to AUTO, and Mode to HEAT or COOL
To check HEAT mode:
50 - 60 - - 80 - 90
• Set the mode switch to HEAT. Set the
fan switch AUTO.
• Adjust the temperature control to raise
the target temp to 90
o
.
• Wait 5 min.
• Verify that heat is blowing from the
system.
To check COOL mode:
• Set the mode switch to COOL.
• Adjust the temperature control to 5o below the room temperature.
• Wait 5 min.
• Verify that cool air is blowing from the system.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed your unit. Please proceed to

6010 Features
The 6010 can be used with most 24 volt gas, oil or electric heating and air
conditioning systems, heat pump systems with or without auxiliary heat, Normal 2
Stage systems, Zoned Hot-Water, Zoned Forced air systems, or gas millivolt
heating systems. It cannot be used with 120 volt heating systems or. Ask The
Home Depot for other thermostats to control those systems.
50 - 60 - - 80 - 90
The 6010 is digital. You can program your desired Heat
and cool temperature by setting the dial. The unit uses
no harmful mercury.
A 5-minute minimum off time in COOL protects your air
conditioning system from being damaged.
Two "AA" batteries (not included) are used to run the
thermostat in some installation. "C" wire installations can
make batteries last many times longer.
