INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
the instructions can damage the product or cause
a hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After completing installation, use these instructions
to check out the product operation.
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.
Refer to Table 1 for a general description of the
thermostat. All T8611 thermostats require a common wire
to supply power.
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
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 correctly 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
3/16 inch (76 mm) holes in the wall (if drywall) as
marked. For firmer material such as plaster, drill
two 7/32 inch (5.56 mm) 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.

4. Plug the hole with nonflammable insulation to
prevent drafts from affecting the thermostat.

WIRING
All wiring must comply with local electrical codes and
ordinances. Refer to Fig. 3 for typical hookup. A letter
code is located near each terminal for identification.
CAUTION
Electrical 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. 4.
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.

Mounting Thermostat
1. Engage tabs at the top of the thermostat and wallplate. See Fig. 5.
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 (Fig. 6)
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.
NOTE: Always press the keys with your fingertip or sim-
ilar 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. 7. The fan settings can be set for

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 is required to use the
Installer Setup feature:
— To enter the installer setup, press and hold the
information i key with the increase ! and
decrease " keys until the first number is displayed.
All display segments appear for approximately three
seconds before the number is displayed. See Fig. 9
and 10.
— To advance to the next Installer Setup, press the
Time ∆ key.
— To change a setting, use the increase ! or decrease
" key.
— To scroll the Installer Setup numbers backward, press
the Time ∇ key.
