Honeywell RTH5160D1003 T2 Details

The Honeywell RTH5160D1003 T2 thermostat is designed for easy installation, featuring the UWP™ mounting system to simplify the wiring process. Essential components such as screws and anchors are included in the box, along with the thermostat itself and a quick installation guide. For a seamless setup, users will only need basic tools like a Phillips screwdriver, a small flathead screwdriver, a pencil, and a level.

This non-programmable thermostat stands out for its ease of use, featuring a clear digital display and intuitive controls. Users can navigate system settings and custom options using the Menu button, using Edit (-) to adjust values and Next (+) to save changes. Operating the heating or cooling system is simplified with the Mode button, which allows for quick toggling between Auto, Heat, Cool, Em Heat (for heat pumps), and Off, while the Fan button controls fan operation (Auto or On).

A key aspect of the RTH5160D1003 T2's operation is its dependence on two AA alkaline batteries, which are always required for operation, even though a C-wire may assist with some functions. The thermostat features a proactive low battery alert (code 405), which appears approximately two months prior to depletion, and a critical low battery warning (code 407). Honeywell recommends replacing the batteries annually or before extended absences to ensure uninterrupted service.

Despite being non-programmable, the RTH5160D1003 T2 offers significant flexibility in system configuration through its System Setup options. Users can choose between Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature scales and configure the thermostat for various types of heating systems, including conventional forced air, heat pumps, or radiant heat. It also allows selection of heating and cooling equipment types and stage counts (up to 2 cool/compressor and up to 2 heat/1 auxiliary/E), making it adaptable to diverse HVAC systems.

The thermostat features a 5-minute compressor protection function that delays system restart to prevent damage, indicated by the flashing of "Heat On / Cool On". It also supports manual or automatic system changeover, providing user control over comfort. The manual includes important safety warnings, such as electrical hazards, proper disposal of old mercury controls, and guidelines for disposing of the electronic device as household hazardous waste (HHW), emphasizing Honeywell's commitment to user safety and environmental responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Honeywell RTH5160D1003 T2 Thermostat, and we answer them below.


What type of batteries does the Honeywell RTH5160D1003 T2 thermostat use and are they always required?
The thermostat requires two AA alkaline batteries. Yes, batteries are _always required_ for the thermostat to operate, as the C-wire connection does not power the display or operations.

What does the flashing 'Heat On / Cool On' alert on the display mean?
This indication means that the compressor protection feature is activated. You must wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to safely restart, preventing damage to the compressor.

My RTH5160D1003 T2 thermostat has a blank display. What should I do?
First, make sure fresh AA alkaline batteries are correctly installed. If the problem persists, check the circuit breaker for your heating/cooling system and the power switch on the equipment.

Is the Honeywell RTH5160D1003 T2 thermostat programmable?
No, the Honeywell RTH5160D1003 T2 is a _non-programmable_ thermostat. This means you adjust the temperature manually as needed, with no preset schedules.

What should I do if my old thermostat used a 'K' wire and how do I connect it to the RTH5160D1003 T2?
If your old thermostat used a 'K' wire, it means it had a "wire saver" module at the equipment. Rewiring will be necessary so that the Y and G terminals are used instead of K at the equipment, as the RTH5160D1003 T2 does not directly support the K terminal.

What types of heating and cooling systems are compatible with this thermostat?
It is compatible with conventional forced air heating systems (gas, oil, electric), heat pumps (air-to-air), radiant heating (hot water, steam), and cooling-only systems.

Can I change the temperature scale between Fahrenheit and Celsius?
Yes, you can set the temperature display scale to Fahrenheit or Celsius through the System Setup options (Option 125).

What happens if my heating system runs in cooling mode or vice versa?
This may indicate an incorrect configuration. Check System Setup Option 200 (Heating System Type) and/or 218 (O/B Reversing Valve) to ensure they match your heating and cooling equipment.

What do the low battery (405) and critical low battery (407) alerts mean?
The Low Battery Alert (405) indicates that the batteries are getting low and should be replaced within two months. The Critical Low Battery Alert (407) means the batteries are nearly depleted and must be replaced as soon as possible.

Which wiring terminals are not compatible with the RTH5160D1003 T2 thermostat?
This thermostat is not compatible with L/A, S, or U terminals. If your old wiring uses these terminals, you may need a different model or additional wiring support.

What does the warranty for this thermostat cover?
Honeywell offers a one (1) year limited warranty covering defects in workmanship or materials under normal use and service, excluding the battery.
