Installation Instructions

To Install Thermostat and Main Control

IMPORTANT: Thermostat installation must conform to

local and national building and electrical codes and

ordinances.

NOTE: Mount the thermostat about five feet above the

floor. Do not mount the thermostat on an outside wall, in

direct sunlight, behind a door or in an area affected by a

vent or duct.

1. Turn off power to the heating and cooling system by

removing the fuse or switching off the appropriate

circuit breaker. (115 VAC and 12VDC).

2. Mount main control box to the mounting template

using four screws.

3. Remove three screws from the main control box,

allowing the bottom section to hinge open. Control

board is now visible and accessible.

4. Route the 115 VAC power cord through the strain

relief of the control box. Tighten the strain relief,

making sure not to damage the wires.

5. Using provided wire connectors, connect line to

black, neutral to white, and ground to green.

6. Using electrical tape or wire nuts, secure the

connectors to prevent any potential movement due

to vehicle vibration.

7. Route the 6 pin connector through the opening of the

hemmed strain relief of the control box. Mate 6 pin

connector to the control box’s wire harness.

Installation Instructions

8. Mate the thermistors to the corresponding

interconnects on the main board. These will be

bundled with the 6-pin connector in the rooftop unit.

For ARC models, one connection will need to be

made (indoor coil sensor). For ARH models, an

additional connection will need to be made (ambient/

outdoor coil sensors).

9. Using provided wire connectors, connect 2 furnace

wires (blue), 3 thermostat wires (red, yellow, black),

and two 12 VDC battery wires (red and black).

10. Rotate lower section of control box upwards making

sure not to crush any wires. Drive three screws,

securing he control box closed. The main control

install is now complete.

11. Remove the cover from the base by undoing the

two plastic snaps on the bottom of the base. A

small screwdriver or ballpoint pen can be used to

gently depress one snap at a time (reference the

figure on page 5).

12. Put thermostat base against the wall where you

plan to mount it. Make sure wires will feed through

the wire opening in the base of the thermostat.

13. With the base level, mark the placement of the

mounting holes.

14 Ensure no other wires are affected by the drilling of

1/8” holes.

15. Using a 1/8” drill bit, drill pilot holes in the locations

you have marked for the wood screws.

16. Align thermostat base with mounting holes and

feed the control wires through the wire opening.

49-5000400 Rev. 4 7

Installation Instructions

To Install Thermostat and Main Control (continued)

17.

Use supplied screws to mount thermostat base

to wall.

18. Insert stripped, labeled wires in matching wire

terminals and tighten terminal screws once

properly aligned. See the “Wiring Diagrams”

section of this manual.

CAUTION

Make sure exposed portion of wires

does not touch other wires.

19. Gently tug each wire to be sure of proper

connection. Verfiy that each wire is connected to

the proper terminal.

20. For Heat Pump models (ARH15AAC_), flip switch

#1 to the “ON” position (see figure on page 12).

Additionally, if your unit will not be connected to a

furnace, furnace mode can be disabled by toggling

switch #4 to the “on” position (see figure on page

12).

21. Reattach the thermostat cover by aligning the cover

and snapping the bottom in place.

22. Turn on power to the system at the main service

panel.

23. Test thermostat operation as described in the

“Testing the thermostat” section.

On Board Diagnostics (RARWT_ _)

Low Voltage Detection:

If the 12VDC drops below 10.5V, the

thermostat will switch to “OFF” mode

and flash “Lo”.

When voltage exceeds 10.5V, the display will show a

constant “Lo” and remain in “OFF” mode until a different

mode is reselected by the user.

A/C Freeze-Up Prevention:

In COOL mode, a flashing snowflake icon

indicates that the indoor coil is near freezing, and

that the compressor was turned off.

Recommend increasing airflow by cleaning the filter and

opening vents.

Heat-Pump Auto-Defrost:

In HEAT-PUMP modes, a flashing HEAT-PUMP

icon indicates that the unit is performing an auto-

defrost.

In HEAT-PUMP+FURNACE mode, while auto-defrosting,

the unit will use the furnace.

Heat-Pump Lockout:

In HEAT-PUMP ONLY mode, a

flashing HEAT-PUMP icon AND 25

Troubleshooting Tips

Problem Solution

Display is blank Check for 12VDC; display is blank

when 12V is not present.

All thermostat buttons

are non-responsive

Verify that the 12VDC is present;

the unit will not operate when the

voltage is below 10.5V.

Fan and Compressor

will not turn ON

Verify that 115VAC is present.

Fan does not turn ON,

but the Compressor

does turn ON

WITH POWER REMOVED, verify

that nothing is obstructing the fan

blade, that it spins freely.

Check the 5 amp Fuse on the board

Fan runs continuously Check Fan Mode. If set to FAN ON,

the fan will run continuously.

Room Temperature does

not match Setpoint when
