Honeywell Home RLV3150 Electronic Thermostat Overview
The Honeywell Home RLV3150 electronic thermostat is crafted to manage electric heating systems such as baseboard heaters, convectors, and fan-forced heaters. Adequate for central heating systems, it is specifically compatible with a resistive load over 12.5 A and systems operated by a contactor or relay (inductive load).
This user guide explicitly states that the RLV3150 thermostat should not be employed with resistive loads under 2 A. The device comprises several key components for operation and easy interface: a backlit screen, an ‘Up’ button, a ‘Down’ button, a temperature display indicator, a heating intensity indicator, a ‘Fan’ symbol for configurations related to fan-forced heaters, and a lock indication when settings are secured.
Installation Guidelines
Safety during installation is emphasized; power to the heating system must be shut off from the main panel to prevent electrical shock. Installers are cautioned to adhere to local electrical regulations, avoid water exposure or rain, air drafts, and sunlight. Ideal placement is at an approximate height of 1.5 meters (5 feet) above the floor, on an inner wall facing the heater, and not on walls concealing ducts or pipes.
For effective installation, the user manual provides detailed instructions, which include:
- Separating the faceplate from the wallplate by loosening the captive screw.
- Ensuring clean air vents on the thermostat.
- Connecting the thermostat using provided tinned copper wires and special CO/ALR solderless connectors if the connection is to be made with aluminum wires.
- Mounting the thermostat wallplate to the electrical box using the given mounting screws.
- Configuring the thermostat based on the setup switches, with further direction provided on a different page (Configuration Settings on page 4).
- Reattaching the faceplate and securing the screw to complete the installation.
The manual emphasizes that the provided screws are intended for secure attachment to the electrical box and that the thermostat’s wires are not polarized, allowing flexibility in the load or power supply connection.
