The T8611M Thermostat provides automatic control of
multistage heat pump systems with up to three stages of
heat and up to two stages of cool. The first heat stage is the
heat pump and the last stage is electric, gas, or oil auxiliary
heat. T8611M provides automatic changeover from heat
to cool or cool to heat.
ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENT RECOVERY™
OPERATION
Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ is the Honeywell trade-
mark for the way the T8611 controls the heating and
cooling equipment during recovery from an energy sav-
ings setting to a comfort setting. During recovery, the
control point changes gradually rather than jumping from
the energy savings setting to the comfort setting all at once.
This provides additional energy savings.
When Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ is used in the
heating mode, the control point raises gradually, maximiz-
ing the use of the more economical heat pump to bring the
sensed temperature to the desired comfort setpoint. This
minimizes the use of the typically more expensive auxil-
iary heat.
In both heating and cooling, the thermostat monitors
recovery each day and adjusts the next day recovery start
time. This ensures that the building is at the desired
temperature at the programmed time, regardless of the
outdoor temperature. Recovery time varies depending on
without affecting the permanent program.
PERIOD
Press and hold until the desired period shows
on the display. The start time and tempera-
ture setting will appear on the display.
DAY
Press and release to display the next day
time and temperature for that period.

SETTING
Press and release. The display will show
the current temperature setting for several
seconds, then revert to the room tempera-
ture.
During recovery from energy savings, the
setting displayed will not match the pro-
grammed setting. This is because the ther-
mostat gradually changes the temperature
setting during recovery to provide maxi-
mum comfort combined with most effi-
cient use of the heating or cooling equip-

Use of Outdoor Thermostats
Because Adaptive Intelligent Recovery™ calls for aux-
iliary heat only when it is truly needed, it eliminates the
need for outdoor thermostat(s). If an outdoor thermostat is
used with T8611 and it is set close to the balance point, the
recovery time from energy savings will be prolonged
because the outdoor thermostat will prevent operation of
