125 = Temperature Indication Scale	= Fahrenheit = Celsius
200 = Heating System Type	= Conventional Forced Air Heat = Heat Pump = Radiant Heat (Boiler) 5 = None (Cool Only)
Note: This option selects the basic system type your thermostat will control.
205 = Heating Equipment Type	Conventional Forced Air Heat: = Standard Efficiency Gas Forced Air = High Efficiency Gas Forced Air = Oil Forced Air = Electric Forced Air5 = Hot Water Fan Coil Heat Pump: 7 = Air to Air Heat Pump Radiant Heat: 9 = Hot Water Radiant Heat 12 = Steam
Note: This option selects the equipment type your thermostat will control. This feature is NOT displayed if feature 200 is set to Cool Only.
218 = Reversing Valve O/B	= O (O/B in Cool) = B (O/B in Heat)
Note: This option is only displayed if the Heat Pump configured. Select whether reversing valve O/B should energize in cool or in heat.
220 = Cool Stages / Compressor Stages (200=Conv / 200=HP)	0, 1, 2
Note: Select how many Cool or Compressor stages of your equipment the thermostat will control. Maximum of 2 Cool stages or 1 Compressor stage. Set value to 0 if you do not have Cool Stage/Compressor Stage.
221 = Heat Stages / Backup Heat Stages	Heat Stages: 1, 2 Backup Heat Stages: 0, 1
Note: Select how many Heat or Aux/E stages of your equipment the thermostat will control. Maximum of 2 Heat Stages for conventional systems. Maximum of 1 Aux/E stage for systems with more than 1 heating equipment type. Set value to 0 if you do not have Heat Stage/ Backup Heat Stage.
300 = System Changeover	0 = Manual 1 = Automatic
Note: Thermostat can automatically control both heating and cooling to maintain the desired indoor temperature. To be able to select “automatic” system mode on thermostat home screen, turn this feature ON. Turn OFF if you want to control heating or cooling manually.

Honeywell RTH5160 Wiring Conventional Systems

Alternate wiring (conventional systems)
If labels do not match terminals, connect wires as shown below (see notes, below).
NOTES:

If you must connect both R and Rc wires, set the R Slider Tab to the down position (2 wires).
If your old thermostat had both R and RH wires, set the R Slider Tab to the down position (2 wires). Then connect the R wire to the Rc terminal, and the RH wire to the R terminal.
If your old thermostat had only 1 C or C1 wire, connect it to the C terminal. If your old thermostat had 2 C or C1 wires, wrap each separately with electrical tape and do not connect them.
C does not power the thermostat display or operations; batteries are always required.

Honeywell RTH5160 Wiring Heat Pump

Connect wires: heat pump

Match each labeled wire with same letter on new thermostat.
Insert the wires into the matching terminal.

NOTE: If you have difficulty inserting wires, you may have to press down the terminal push button next to the corresponding terminal.
Labels don’t match?
If labels do not match letters on thermostat, see “Alternate wiring (conventional systems)“ above.

Honeywell RTH5160 Alternate wiring (for heat pumps only)

NOTES:

Keep R Slider Tab in the up position (1 wire).
If your old thermostat had both V and VR wires, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
If your old thermostat had separate O and B wires, attach the B wire to the C terminal. If another wire is attached to the C terminal, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
If your old thermostat had Y1, W1 and W2 wires, stop now and contact a qualified contractor for help.
C does not power the thermostat display or operations; batteries are always required.
This model doesn’t support the heat pump fault alert (L/A terminal). If this is desired, please contact a contractor for replacement model.

Honeywell RTH5160 Battery replacement

Batteries are required to provide power. Install fresh batteries immediately when the low battery icon appears. The icon appears about two months before the batteries are depleted. Even if the low battery icon does not appear, you should replace batteries once a year, or before leaving home for more than a month. If batteries are inserted within two minutes, the time and day will not have to be reset. All other settings are permanently stored in memory, and do not require battery power.
NOTE: When replacing batteries, alkaline batteries are recommended.
