INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
T8611M Deluxe Programmable
Heat Pump Thermostats
APPLICATION
The T8611M Deluxe Programmable Heat Pump Thermostat provides electronic control of 24 Vac single-zone two
compressor or two speed heat pump systems with auxiliary heat. The T8611M can be configured to run a single
compressor heat pump system. Refer to Table 1 for a general description of the thermostat. All T8611 thermostats
require a common wire to supply power.
Table 1. Description of T8611 Thermostats.
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. Dispose of properly.
Contact your local waste management authority
for instructions regarding recycling and the
proper disposal of the old control.
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow

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.

Fig. 1. Typical location of thermostat.
Wallplate Installation
The thermostat can be mounted horizontally on the wall
or on a 2 in. x 4 in. (50.8 mm x 101.6 mm) wiring box.
Position wallplate horizontally on the wall or on a
2 in. x 4 in. (50.8 mm x 101.6 mm) wiring box.
1. Position and level the wallplate (for appearance
only). The thermostat will function properly even
when not level.
2. Use a pencil to mark the mounting holes.
See Fig. 2.
3. Remove the wallplate from the wall and drill two
76 mm (3/16 inch) holes in the wall (if drywall) as
marked. For firmer material such as plaster, drill
two 5.56 mm (7/32 inch) holes. Gently tap anchors
(provided) into the drilled holes until flush with the
wall.
4. Position the wallplate over the holes, pulling wires
through the wiring opening.
5. Loosely insert the mounting screws into the holes.
6. Tighten mounting screws. Fig. 2. Mounting the wallplate.

WIRING
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Refer to Fig. 3 and 4 for typical hookups. A
letter code is located near each terminal for identification.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or equipment
damage.
Disconnect power before wiring.
1. Loosen the terminal screws on the wallplate and
connect the system wires. See Fig. 5.
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.

Mounting Thermostat
1. Engage tabs at the top of the thermostat and
wallplate. See Fig. 6.
2. Press lower edge of case to close and latch.
NOTE: To remove the thermostat from the wall, first pull
out at the bottom of the thermostat; remove top
last.
Using Thermostat Keys
The thermostat keys are used to:
• set current day and time,
• program times and setpoints for heating and cooling,
• temporarily override program temperatures,
• display present setting,
• configure Installer Setup,
• check System Test,
• display outdoor temperature (select models),
• set the system operation,
• set the fan operation.
See Fig. 7 for the key location.
NOTE: Always press the keys with your fingertip or
similar blunt tool. Sharp instruments like a pen
or pencil point can damage the keyboard.

SETTINGS
System and Fan Settings
The system default setting is Heat and the fan default
setting is Auto. Use the System and Fan keys to change
the settings. See Fig. 8. The fan settings can be set for
each program period individually. The system selection is
for all the program periods.
System settings control the thermostat operation:
Em Heat: Defrost reset output relay (L) is on
continuously. The thermostat cycles the
Emergency Heat relay and the highest heat stage.
Cooling system is off. Compressor is de-energized.
Heat: The thermostat controls the heating.
Off: Both the heating and cooling are off.
Cool: The thermostat controls the cooling.
Auto: The thermostat automatically changes between
heating and cooling operation, depending on the
indoor temperature.
Fan settings control the system fan:
On: Fan operates continuously.
Auto: Fan operates with equipment.

LED Indication
Two LED indicators are located in the upper right of the
thermostat. They indicate when a CHECK or FAIL signal
is sent to the thermostat from the system. See Fig. 9. The
CHECK LED is on continuously when the thermostat
system setting is in the Emergency Heat position.
.
Fig. 9. LED location.
Temperature Settings
Refer to Table 2 for the default program settings. If the
daytime energy savings period is not used, press the
period key (Leave or Return) until the time is blank. The
fan setting feature is available on select thermostat
models. See Owner’s Guide for complete instructions on
changing the program.

INSTALLER SETUP
NOTE: For most applications, the thermostat factory-
settings will not need to be changed. Review
the factory settings in Table 2 and if no changes
are necessary, go to the Installer System Test
section.
The Installer Setup is used to customize the thermostat
to specific systems. Some of the options include
temperature display, changeover and outdoor
temperature display. Installer Setup numbers are listed in
Table 3. The table includes all the configuration options
and the factory settings for the T8611.
A combination of key presses are required to use the
Installer Setup feature:
— To enter the installer setup, press and hold the
information ikey with the increase sand decrease t
keys until the first number is displayed. All display
segments appear for approximately three seconds
before the number is displayed. See Fig. 10 and 11.
— To advance to the next Installer Setup, press the
Time ∆key.
— To change a setting, use the increase sor
decrease t key.
— To scroll the Installer Setup numbers backward, press
the Time ∇key.
— To exit the Installer Setup, press Run Program.
