Airxcel 9630-352 Installation, Operation and Application Manual

This thermostat should be installed by trained technicians only. Adhere to all local and national codes. Disconnect all power to the system before installing, removing, or cleaning.

Application

The thermostat wiring is factory installed by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). RV Products suggests the thermostat wiring be a minimum of 18 gauge. The thermostat is intended for use with a 12 VDC control circuit that does not exceed 1 amp. The thermostat is equipped with a replaceable 2 amp fuse located on the base of the thermostat. The fuse is designed to "open" if the circuit is mis-wired or if there is a short in the system. Before replacing the fuse, the cause of the failure must be located and corrected.

Operation

The display indicates the mode and the room temperature. When the mode button is pressed once, the thermostat will wake and if your thermostat is equipped with a backlight, the backlight will illuminate. When the mode button is pressed again, the mode will change. Press the or button to wake the thermostat, the set temperature will display and flash. Press the or button again to change the set temperature. The thermostat will go back to sleep mode after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.

In electric heat mode, if the heat pump is unable to satisfy the thermostat call, the heat pump will go into lockout (See heat pump and backup heat example for conditions of heat pump lockout). When thermostat is in lockout, ELEC will flash on the display.

In gas heat mode, the gas furnace will provide the only source of heat and the heat pump is locked out.

Refer to the operation chart for a more detailed listing of operation sequence.

Installation

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Turn off power at the main service panel by removing the fuse or switching the appropriate circuit breaker to the Off position before removing the existing thermostat.
