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
When Installing this Product…
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:
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.
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.
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:
The T8511G has keys to:
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.
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.
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.

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:
NOTE: The minimum off time for compressors is bypassed during the Installer System Test. Press and hold the increase ▲ and decrease ▼ keys, at
the same time, until two zeros appear. All segments of the LCD is displayed before the two zeros appear
NOTE: Press and hold the increase ▲ and decrease ▼ keys for three seconds to exit the system test. The system test times out after five minutes without any key presses.

Thermostat Information
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.
Symptom | Possible Cause | Action |
Display will not come on. | Thermostat is not being powered. | • Check that C terminal is connected to the system transformer. • Check for 24 Vac between C and R or RH terminals. — If missing 24 Vac: — check if the circuit breaker is tripped—reset the circuit breaker. — check if the system fuse is blown—replace the fuse. — check if the power switch on the HVAC equipment is in the Off position—set to the On position. — check wiring between thermostat and HVAC equipment—replace any broken wires and tighten any loose connections. — If 24 Vac is present, proceed with troubleshooting. |
Thermostat microprocessor is locked up. | Remove the thermostat from the wallplate for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, replace the thermostat on the wallplate. | |
Temperature display is incorrect. | Room temperature display has been reconfigured. | Enter Installer Setup mode number 37 and reconfigure the display. |
Thermostat is configured for °F or °C display a. | Enter Installer Setup mode number 14 and reconfigure the display. | |
Bad thermostat location. | Relocate the thermostat. | |
Temperature settings will not change. (Example: Cannot set the | The upper or lower temperature limits were reached. | Check the temperature setpoints: • Heating limits are 40 to 90°F (4.5 to 32°C) • T8511R cooling limits are 45 to 99°F (7 to 35°C) and T8511G cooling limits are 48 to 99°F |
heating higher or the cooling lower.) | The setpoint temperature range stops were configured. | Check Installer Setup mode numbers 34 and 35 and reconfigure the setpoint stops. |
Heating will not come on. | No power to the thermostat. | • Check that C terminal is connected to the system transformer. • Check for 24 Vac between C and R or RH terminals. — If missing 24 Vac: — check if the circuit breaker is tripped—reset the circuit breaker. — check if the system fuse is blown—replace the fuse. — check if the system switch at the equipment is in the Off position—set to On position. — check wiring between thermostat and HVAC equipment—replace any broken wires and tighten any loose connections. — If 24 Vac is present, proceed with troubleshooting. |

O/B terminal configured incorrectlya. | Check Installer Setup mode number 29 and reconfigure correctly. | |
O or B terminal miswireda. | Check system description to determine whether changeover should be energized in heat (B) or cool (O). Rewire if necessary. | |
Cooling will not come on. | No power to the thermostat. | • Check that C terminal is connected to the system transformer. • Check for 24 Vac between C and R or RC and Y terminals. — If missing 24 Vac: — check if the circuit breaker is tripped—reset the circuit breaker. — check if the system fuse is blown—replace the fuse. — check if the system switch at the equipment is in the Off position—set to the On position. — check wiring between thermostat and HVAC equipment—replace any broken wires and tighten any loose connections. — If 24 Vac is present, proceed with troubleshooting. |
Thermostat minimum off time is activated. | • Wait up to five minutes for the system to respond. • Enter Installer Setup mode number 33. Reconfigure minimum off time (if required). | |
System selection is not set to Cool. | Set system selection to Cool. | |
