IF NEW CONSTRUCTION APPLICATION,
CONSIDER
• equipment type (see manufacturer’s specifications)
— system switching required
— status indication provided
• control wiring—number of conductors required to
operate equipment and thermostat.
IMPORTANT: The T8611 requires a conductor to trans-
former common to provide continuous 24V power
for thermostat operation. This feature is commonly
specified and provided by equipment manufacturer.
IF RETROFIT/REPLACEMENT APPLICATION,
CONSIDER
• equipment requirements
— system switching (manual: EM. HT.-HEAT-OFF-
COOL, automatic: EM. HT.-HEAT-OFF-AUTO-
COOL).
— unique heat pump functions of emergency or
supplemental heat, changeover on heat or cool,
and status indication.
— Table 3 lists typical applications by manufac-
turer.
• existing wiring
— Are there enough conductors to operate the equip-
ment and the thermostat? Can a new cable be
pulled?
