Robertshaw 300-206 - User Manual

Your new Robertshaw thermostat has been designed to provide
accurate control and display of the room temperature. In addition, it
will also display all relevant information pertaining to your system.
The clearly marked buttons and informative display make it
extremely easy to understand and simple to use.
Please take a few moments to read the brief instructions and
familiarize yourself with the various functions in order to obtain
maximum benefit from this truly unique electronic control.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The thermostat normally displays room temperature, mode of
operation and whether cooling or heating is currently on. The
six buttons on the front of the unit allow complete control of
your equipment.
You may select different heating and cooling setpoints for the
system to maintain, e.g., 70° in heating and 75° in cooling.
Raising or lowering the setpoints in heating or cooling is as sim-
ple as pushing a button. In addition, you may choose to display
the temperature in °F or °C.
The thermostat also allows you to select continuous fan operation
(useful when using an air cleaner) or have the fan come on with
the equipment.

mostat in an area away from view.
CLOCK TERMINALS (OPTION) CLK1 – CLK2
Your thermostat is equipped with remote clock terminals. By
connecting a remote clock timer, the thermostat can be alternat-
ed between the DAY/NIGHT (setback) temperature setpoints
automatically.
TEMPERATURE ACCURACY
Full temperature accuracy will only be realized after the thermo-
stat has been installed and powered for at least one (1) hour.
POWER FAILURES
Your thermostat employs the latest in solid state electronic
technology.
One of the unique features of your thermostat is that there is no
battery required to maintain your selected setpoints in the event
of a power loss as the memory is unaffected by power failures of
any duration.
When power is restored, the thermostat will continue operating as
if the power had never been off.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
To ensure proper operation, the thermostat should be mounted on
an inside wall in a frequently occupied area of the building. In
addition, its position must be at least 18" (46cm) from any outside
wall, and approximately 5' (1.5m) above the floor in a location
with freely circulating air of an average temperature. You should
avoid the following locations:
– behind doors or in corners where freely circulating air is
unavailable;
– where direct sunlight or radiant heat from appliances might
affect control operation;
– on an outside wall;
– adjacent to, or in line with, conditioned air discharge grilles,
stairwells, or outside doors;
– where its operation may be affected by steam or water pipes or
warm air stacks in an adjacent partition space, or by an area
behind the thermostat which is not climate controlled;
– where its operation will be affected by the supply air of an adja-
cent climate control HVAC device; and
– near sources of electrical interference such as arcing relay
contacts
