IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING:
•Always turn off power at the main power source by unscrewing fuse
or switching circuit breaker to the off position before installing,
removing, cleaning, or servicing thermostat.
• Read all the information in this manual before installing or programming this thermostat.
• This is a 24 VAC low-voltage thermostat. Do not install on voltages
higher than 30 VAC.
• All wiring must conform to local and national building and electrical
codes and ordinances.
• Do not short (jumper) across terminals on the gas valve or at the
system control to test installation. This will damage the thermostat
and void the warranty.
Step 1: Replacing Existing Thermostat
1. Turn off power to heating and cooling system.
2. Remove cover from old thermostat to expose wires (Figure 1).
3. Disconnect wires one at a time from existing terminals. Use enclosed labels
to mark existing wires. Refer to cross references in Table 1 if existing wiring
does not directly match the labels.

following section.
Step 3: Testing the Thermostat
WARNING: DO NOT SHORT (JUMPER) ACROSS TERMINALS OF
GAS VALVE OR SYSTEM CONTROL TO TEST OPERATION. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE THERMOSTAT
AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CAUTION: DO NOT SWITCH SYSTEM TO COOL IF THE TEMPERATURE IS
BELOW 50°F (10°C). THIS CAN DAMAGE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Place the AUTO-HEAT-OFF-COOL switch into
the COOL position.
2. Press the button until the temperature setting
is at least 3 degrees below the room temperature.
The air conditioning system should turn on within
a few seconds.
NOTE: ONCE THE THERMOSTAT TURNS OFF WHEN IN THE COOL MODE, A
BUILT IN 5-MINUTE DELAY PREVENTS THE SYSTEM FROM TURNING ON AGAIN. THIS PROTECTS THE COMPRESSOR. NO ADDITIONAL TIME DELAY RELAY IS REQUIRED. TO OVERRIDE THE 5MINUTE DELAY FOR INSTALLATION, PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.

Step 4: Customizing the Thermostat
◆ Settings
System
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling.
Off: The heating and cooling systems are off.
Heat: The thermostat controls the heat.
AUTO:The thermostat automatically selects heat or cool depending
on the temperature.
Fan
Auto:Equipment controls the fan.
On: The fan operates continuously.
Temperature
The default setpoint temperature for heating is 70°F (21°C), for cooling is 78°F (25°C), and for auto is 72°F (22°C). After putting the system switch in heat, cool, or auto, press either the or button to
adjust the temperature setting up or down.
The display will return to the current room temperature five seconds after
the last input and the new setpoint will be saved.
◆ Temperature Differential and Deadband
The temperature differential is factory set at 1°F (0.5°C) for the 1STstage
differential and 2°F (1.0°C) for the 2NDstage. This means that whenever
the room temperature changes by one degree Fahrenheit from the temperature setting, the system will turn on. If the system turns on too
often, increase the temperature differential.
The 2NDstage will turn on when the room temperature changes from the
desired temperature by the sum of the 1STand 2NDstage differential settings. The 2NDstage will also turn on if the temperature has not increased
(or decreased in the event of cooling) for a period of twenty minutes.
Although programmed at the same time as the temperature differentials,
the deadband is used only during the AUTO mode. In the AUTO mode, the
thermostat will automatically cycle either the heating or cooling system to
maintain optimal comfort. The deadband is the minimum allowable temperature which must occur to switch to the opposite mode. For example, if
the deadband is set at 3°F and the setpoint is set at 70°F, the thermostat
will switch to cooling mode when the temperature reaches 73°F.
NOTE: IF THE TEMPERATURE LIMITING JUMPER J3 IS CUT
(FIGURE 7), THE DEADBAND IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND IS
AUTOMATICALLY SET TO 6°F (3°C).

◆ Changing Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C),
Temperature Differential, Deadband,
and Residual Cool
The temperature differential is factory set at 1°F (0.5°C) for the 1STstage
differential and 2°F (1.0°C) for the 2NDstage. The deadband for auto
changeover is set at 3°F (1.5°C). To change settings:
1. The thermostat is preset to display the temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit (U.S. models) or degrees Celsius (Canadian models). The
temperature display can be changed. Press and hold both the or
A
buttons for three seconds. The display will read F or C. Release
the buttons. Press either the or button to change the display.
2. After three seconds, the display will switch to the differential
settings. The display will read DIFFERENTIAL 1ST.
3. The temperature differential is factory set at 1°F (0.5°C) for the first
stage. Press either the or button to adjust the 1STstage
differential between 0.5°F - 3°F.
4. Either wait three seconds or press the button. The display will
indicate: DIFFERENTIAL 2ND.
5. The 2nd stage differential is factory set at 2°F (1.5°C). Press either
the or button to adjust the 2nd stage temperature differential
between 1°F - 6°F (1°C - 3°C).
6. Press the or button to adjust the 2nd stage timed differential
between 5 to 40 minutes. Either wait 5 seconds or press the
button.
7. Either wait three seconds or press the button. The display will
indicate: AUTOCHANGE DEADBAND.
8. Press either the or button to adjust the deadband between
2°F - 8°F (1.0°C - 4.5°C).
9. Either wait three seconds or press the button. The fan icon and
ON will be displayed.
10. Press either the or button to adjust the residual cool fan delay
between 0, 30, 60, or 90 seconds.
11. The display will return to the original room temperature display after
a few seconds.
◆ LED Indicators
The Robertshaw 9560 uses three LED indicators (in addition to icons on
the LCD display) to indicate functionality of the thermostat. When illuminated, the right red LED indicates that the thermostat is calling for emergency heat. The left green LED indicates a call for auxiliary cool. When
the middle amber LED is illuminated, the system is not functioning. Call
your local HVACR service contractor.

◆ Backlit Display
This thermostat is equipped with a backlight to make nighttime temperature adjustments quick and easy. Press the button to activate the
backlight. The backlight will turn off after about 15 seconds of inactivity.
◆ Emergency Heat
The Emergency Heat switch is located on the bottom right corner. To
activate emergency heat, slide switch from NORMAL to EMER HEAT.
◆ Reset
To reset the thermostat to factory preprogrammed conditions,
press the RESET button located beneath the lower left corner
of the display.
