Caution
• Your thermostat is a precise instrument, handle it with care.
• Turn off electricity to the appliance before installing or
servicing thermostat or any part of the system.
• Do not 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.

Tools
You will need a Phillips screwdriver, Sheet rock Saw, level, Pencil.
Location
Replacement installations - mount the new thermostat in place of the old one.
New installations - follow the guidelines listed below.
• Locate the thermostat on an inside wall, about 5 ft. (1.5m) above the floor, and in
a room that is used often.
• Locate 2" away from the nearest wall stud to allow wall box clamps to operate.
• Locate where HVAC wiring can be easily accessed.
• 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.
• 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.

IMPORTANT : LABEL ALL WIRES
Remove old unit
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THEM!
• 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. Attach labels
(enclosed) to each wire for identification.
Read instructions carefully before removing any wiring from existing thermostat.
Caution
Wires must be labeled before they are removed. THERE IS NO STANDARD
COLOR CODE. When removing wires from their terminals, ignore the color of
the wires since these may not comply with any standard.
• Label the wires one at a time. You must label all the wires before you
proceed. With all wires labeled, remove them from the old unit.
• Make sure the wires do not fall back inside the wall. You can wind them
around a pencil to keep them from falling.
• Loosen all screws on the old thermostat and remove it from the wall.

Cut Wall Opening
Wall
Box
The 6036 uses a cut-in type wall box (a
type of electrical box that attaches to the
drywall, not the studs). Remove the
thermostat unit from the wall box as shown.
The Thermostat may be placed at the
existing wire location or select a better
location where you can easily relocate the
HVAC wires.
To install wall-box it is necessary to cut a
hole in the wall. Use the marking template
provided. Carefully measure where you want
the box, check for level, and mark its perimeter on the wall and
make its cutout using a drywall saw. Additional Thermostat wire
may be needed to complete installation.

• Cut through craft paper surface w/ a razor knife

to help free the pieces of wallboard you remove.
Cut the opening for the wall box using a using a
drywall saw. Take care as the box location and plumb
will be based on the precision of the wall cut out.
• Clean up edges of the hole with a file as needed.
• For best results place insulation in the wall above the opening.

• Before placing the wall box in the opening, pull wire into the box. Select
the Wire Opening in the box that gives you the most slack in the wire. If the
wires are not long enough, you may need to lengthen some wires. If so be
sure they cannot short to each other. Wire nuts are recommended.

Mount Wall Box
• Insert the wall-box with the RITETEMP log up.
• Tighten the 2 clamping screws located on the
sides of the wall box. Tighten until you feel
resistance. This means the clamp has made
contact with the inside of the wall board - stop
tightening when you feel this.
• Do not over tighten as it may cut into the
wall board and weaken it.

• You will need 3-4" of wire for each of your
connections to the 6036.
• Fan out wires below the hole as shown.
• Trim them evenly to make inserting wires in

• Do not to damage the labels for each wire in handling.
• Fan wires out as illustrated with 6036 above the

• Use the Step-By-Step diagram as your guide.
• Do not bunch wires behind 6036. Feed slack back

On the next page you will determine which step-by-step wiring
diagram you should use. Make sure your wires are labeled. Never
guess about what a wire is, it can damage your HVAC system.
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 wire marked "C" it is optional. If you do connect it,
the thermostat will draw power from the C wire. This extends
battery life.

Power Options
BATTERIES ONLY - This thermostat can run on batteries only using 2AA
alkaline batteries. The batteries will last at least 1 year; replace the batteries
once a year or when the low battery icon comes on the display. If the batteries
are not replaced, the thermostat will shut off the HVAC and then stop working.
24VAC - This thermostat can run on the HVAC 24VAC (C wire) if available.
As shown in the wiring diagrams, the C wire is the other side of the 24VAC
heating transformer and can be found where the other thermostat wires
connect at the wall or at the furnace. Do not use the common or ground side
of the line voltage. If the C wire is used, the batteries are then for back-up in
case of power loss only and will last much longer. With the C wire connected,
the thermostat will continue to work if the batteries die or are removed.
Calibration
NOTE:Your thermostat comes from the factory calibrated to +/- 1o of actual
temperature. It is an accurate instrument. If you want your thermostat to
display the same temperature as another thermometer in your home, you
can adjust its calibration.
To change the calibration:
Push the MENU button; the present room temperature is
displayed. To change it, use the up/down arrows and change
the displayed room temperature as you wish +/- 6F. Your
change will also be displayed on the lower left as the DELTA T
factor or number of degrees changed. Push HOME icon or
wait 60 seconds. The new room temperature will now be
displayed on the HOME screen.
NOTE: Handling the thermostat during installation will heat it up.
It will take 1 hour to equalize to the correct temp reading.

This thermostat can be used with all millivolt and 24VAC heating and cooling systems. It
cannot be used with line voltage systems. This thermostat is digital and your desired heat or
cool temperatures can be easily be set on the large touch screen with
the UP/DOWN arrows. A minimum 4 minute off time protects heating
and cooling systems from damage.

COOL OFF HEAT
This thermostat uses a new technique called sequential staging for
more comfort with faster reaction to requested temperature changes.
When using a heat pump with Auxiliary heat, if the heat pump
cannot keep up or is defective, move the large jumper 3 from B
(lower) HEAT PUMP position to the A (upper) AUX ONLY position
(reset is not necessary). The Auxiliary heat will then be your only
source of heat. When the heat pump is again operational, be sure to
change jumper 3 back to the B position as the Auxiliary heat is more
expensive than the heat pump.
