HONEYWELL T8511G Heat Pump Thermostats Installational Instruction

HONEYWELL T8511G Heat Pump Thermostats

APPLICATION
The T8511 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. Description of T8511 Thermostats

T8511	Changeover	System Selection	Fan Selection	Comments
G	Automatic	Em. Heat-Heat-Off-Auto-Cool	On-Auto	System and fan selections are by keyboard.
R	Manual	Em. Heat-Heat-Off-Cool	On-Auto	System and fan selections are by switches.

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

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 the 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 the power supply before installation.

Location
Install the thermostat about 5 ft (1.5m) above the floor in an area with good air circulation at an 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 the 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 a 2 in. x 4 in. wiring box. Position the wallplate horizontally on the wall or a 2 in. x 4 in. 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 3/16 inch holes in the wall (if drywall) as marked. For firmer materials such as plaster or wood, drill two
   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.

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

Disconnect power before wiring to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

1. Loosen the terminal screws on the wallplate and 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

Mounting Thermostat

1. Engage tabs at the top of the thermostat and wallplate. See Fig. 7.
2. Press the lower edge of the case to close and latch.

NOTE: To remove the thermostat from the wall, first pull out at the bottom of the thermostat; remove the top last.

Using Thermostat Keys
The thermostat keys are used to:

•  set temperature,
• display present setting,
• configure Installer Setup,
• check System-Test,
• display outdoor temperature (select models).

The T8511G has keys to:

• set the system operation,
• set the fan operation.
• See Fig. 8 for the key information.

SETTINGS

System and Fan Settings
System settings control the thermostat operation as follows:
Em. Heat: The emergency heat relay is automatically controlled by the thermostat. The cooling system is off. The 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 operations, depending on the indoor temperature.
Fan settings control the system fan as follows:
On: Fan operates continuously.
Auto: Equipment controls fan.
The system’s default setting is Heat and the fan’s default setting is Auto. Use the keyboard or system and fan switches, depending on the model, to change the desired settings. See Figs. 9 and 10.

NOTE: Always press the system and fan keys with your fingertip or similar blunt tool. Sharp instruments like a pen or pencil point can damage the keyboard.

Temperature Settings

The default setpoint for heat is 70°F (21°C) and for cool is 78°F (25.5°C). Press the increase ▲ or decrease ▼ key to change the present setting. To change between heat and cool, press the Information I key until the setting to be changed appears.

INSTALLER SETUP

NOTE: For most applications, the thermostat factorysettings do 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, minimum equipment on time, and minimum off time. Installer numbers are listed in Table 2. The table 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.

•  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 Figs. 11 and 12.
• To advance to the next Installer Setup, press the Information i key.
• To change a setting, use the increase ▲ or decrease ▼ key.
• 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.

CHECKOUT
Outdoor Temperature Sensor (Where Applicable)
Allow the outdoor temperature sensor to soak in 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.
