Honeywell RTH111B Thermostat Details

The Honeywell RTH111B thermostat stands out for its straightforward design, delivering reliable and easy-to-use climate control without the complexities of programming. This non-programmable model consistently displays the current ambient temperature, offering users an immediate and clear view of their indoor environment. Adjusting the desired setpoint is effortlessly achieved with a simple press of the Up or Down buttons, allowing for quick modifications to your home's heating or cooling needs. Its intuitive interface ensures that comfort is always just a touch away.

Direct control is at your fingertips with the distinct system and fan switches. The System Switch enables selection between Heat, Off, or Cool modes, granting precise command over your HVAC system's primary function. Complementing this, the Fan Switch provides two essential settings: "Auto" mode, which intelligently runs the fan only when active heating or cooling is required, and "On" mode, for continuous airflow. These manual controls are fundamental to the thermostat's philosophy, providing immediate and responsive environmental management.

A critical integrated feature is the Compressor Protection, safeguarding your air conditioning or heat pump system from potential damage. This intelligent function introduces an approximate 5-minute delay before the compressor restarts, preventing harmful rapid cycling. During this protective wait time, the display will prominently flash "Cool On" or "Heat On," informing you that the system is operating safely. This ensures the longevity and efficiency of your valuable HVAC equipment, providing peace of mind.

The installation process for the RTH111B is thoughtfully designed for convenience. It includes clear wire labeling tags, simplifying the connection of existing wires to the new wallplate. Beyond basic setup, the thermostat offers advanced configuration options accessible through a simple button press. Users can optimize the heating cycle rate to match their specific furnace type, whether it's gas, oil, electric, or a hot water system. This customization helps ensure efficient and tailored heating performance for various home setups.

Further enhancing user comfort and preference, the RTH111B allows you to select your preferred temperature display unit. You can easily switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) through the advanced setup menu, making it suitable for a wider range of users. This attention to detail in presentation, combined with the clear digital display, ensures that monitoring and controlling your home's temperature is always comfortable and understandable. The straightforward nature removes guesswork, focusing purely on immediate climate control.

Managing the thermostat's power is hassle-free. It operates on two standard AAA alkaline batteries, and users are alerted well in advance when replacement is needed. A "Lo Batt" warning flashes on the screen for approximately 60 days before the batteries fully deplete, providing ample time for a change. Crucially, most operational settings are stored in nonvolatile (permanent) memory, ensuring they are retained even during battery changes. This feature, combined with a 1-year limited warranty, underscores the product's commitment to reliability and user convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Honeywell RTH111B Thermostat, and we answer them below.


Why is the thermostat display blank?
Ensure fresh AAA alkaline batteries are correctly installed. Also, verify that the furnace door is securely closed, as some systems require this for power.

My heating or cooling system isn't responding. What should I do?
First, check that the System switch is set to the correct mode (Heat or Cool) and that the setpoint temperature is appropriately higher (for heat) or lower (for cool) than the current room temperature. Wait at least 5 minutes for the system to respond. Additionally, inspect your circuit breaker and reset if necessary, and confirm all heating/cooling power switches are on.

Why can't I change the setpoint temperature?
Verify the System switch is set to either Heat or Cool mode. The thermostat allows setting temperatures within specific ranges: for Heat, 40° to 90°F (4.5° to 32°C); for Cool, 50° to 99°F (10° to 37°C). Ensure your desired setting falls within these limits.

What does it mean if 'Cool On' or 'Heat On' is flashing?
This indicates that the compressor protection feature is engaged. The system is intentionally waiting approximately 5 minutes before restarting the compressor to prevent potential equipment damage from rapid cycling. The compressor will turn on once the safe wait time has elapsed.

Why is 'Heat On' not displayed when I expect it to be?
Make sure the System switch is set to Heat, and then set the desired temperature level above the current room temperature. The thermostat will only display 'Heat On' when it's actively calling for heat.

Why is 'Cool On' not displayed when I expect it to be?
Ensure the System switch is set to Cool, and then set the desired temperature level below the current room temperature. The thermostat will only display 'Cool On' when it's actively calling for cooling.

What types of heating and cooling systems is the RTH111B compatible with?
This thermostat is compatible with gas, oil, or electric furnaces; central air conditioners; hot water systems (with or without a pump); millivolt systems; central heating and cooling systems; and heat pumps without auxiliary/backup heat.

Which systems are not compatible with the Honeywell RTH111B thermostat?
The RTH111B is not designed for heat pumps with auxiliary/backup heat, multi-stage systems, or 120/240 Volt systems. Attempting to use it with these systems may cause malfunction.

How do I replace the batteries in my thermostat?
To replace the batteries, first pull the thermostat firmly from the bottom to remove it from the wallplate. Set the System switch to Off. Turn the thermostat over, insert two fresh AAA alkaline batteries into the compartment, and then carefully reinstall the thermostat onto the wallplate.

How often should the batteries be replaced?
It is recommended to replace the batteries annually as a preventative measure. The thermostat will also display a "Lo Batt" warning on the screen, which appears approximately 60 days before the batteries are fully depleted, giving you ample time to replace them.

Will I lose my thermostat settings when I change the batteries?
No, most of the thermostat's settings are stored in nonvolatile (permanent) memory. This means your operational preferences will be retained even after the batteries are removed and replaced.
