APPLICATION
The T8511G Microelectronic Heat Pump Thermostat provides electronic control of 24 Vac, two-stage heating and one-
stage cooling heat pump systems. Refer to Table 1 for a general description of the thermostat. All T8511 Thermostats
require a common wire to supply power.
Table 1. T8511 Thermostat Desription.
MERCURY NOTICE
If this control is replacing a control that contains
mercury in a sealed tube, do
not place your old
control in the trash.
Contact your local waste management authority for
instructions regarding recycling and the proper
disposal of the old thermostat.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After completing installation, use these instructions
to check out the product operation.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply before installation.
Location
Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in
an area with good air circulation at average temperature.
See Fig. 1.
Do not install the thermostat where it can be affected by:
—drafts, or dead spots behind doors and in corners.
—hot or cold air from ducts.
—radiant heat from sun or appliances.
—concealed pipes and chimneys.
—unheated (uncooled) areas such as an outside wall
behind the thermostat.
Wallplate Installation
Mount tthermostat horizontally on the wall or on a 2 in. x 4
in. wiring box.
1. Position and level the wallplate (for appearance
only). The thermostat functions properly even when
not level.

5. Loosely insert the mounting screws into the holes.
6. Tighten mounting screws.
WIRING
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Refer to Fig. 3 through 5 for typical hookups.
A letter code is located near each terminal for
identification.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.

connect the system wires. See Fig. 6.
IMPORTANT
Use 18 gauge, color-coded thermostat cable for
proper wiring.
2. Securely tighten each terminal screw.
3. Push excess wire back into the hole.
4. Plug the hole with nonflammable insulation to
prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.

INSTALLER SETUP
NOTE: For most applications, the thermostat factory
settings do not need changing. Review the
Factory Setting column in Table 2 and if no
changes are necessary, go to the Installer
System-Test section.
Use the Installer Setup to customize the thermostat to
specific systems. Some of the options include temperature
display, changeover, minimum equipment on time and
minimum off time. Installer Setup numbers are listed in
Table 2. It includes all the configuration options and the
factory-settings available for the T8511.
IMPORTANT
The Installer Setup must be set correctly for the
HVAC equipment, thermostat and subbase to
operate properly.
A combination of key presses are required to use the
Installer Setup feature:
1. To enter the Installer Setup, press and hold the
Information i key and the increase ▲and
decrease ▼keys until the first number displays. All
display segments appear for approximately three
seconds before the number displays. See Fig. 11
and 12.
2. To advance to the next Installer Setup, press the
Information i key.
3. To change a setting, press the increase ▲or
decrease ▼key.
4. To exit the Installer Setup, press and hold the
Information i key until the display returns to
normal (approximately three seconds). The display
scrolls the numbers backward to get to the normal
display. The Installer Setup is automatically exited if
no key presses are made for five minutes.

INSTALLER SYSTEM-TEST
Use the Installer System-Test to check the thermostat
configurations and operation. Refer to Table 3 for a list of
the available system-tests.
To start the system-test:
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Minimum compressor off-time is bypassed
during the Installer System Test.
Be aware that equipment damage can occur if the
compressor is cycled too quickly.
Press and hold the increase ▲and decrease ▼ keys, at
the same time, until two zeros appear. All segments of the
LCD are displayed before the zeros appear.

CHECKOUT
Outdoor Temperature Sensor
(Where Applicable)
Allow the outdoor temperature sensor to absorb the
outdoor air for a minimum of five minutes before taking a
reading. With an accurate thermometer (±1°F [±0.5°C]),
measure the temperature at the sensor location, allowing
time for the thermometer to stabilize before reading. Match
the thermometer reading to the outdoor temperature
display at the thermostat.
