USER GUIDE 

What is a Programmable Thermostat?

The Honeywell CM61 is a programmable thermostat which controls your 
heating system so that you can have comfortable temperatures when you 
are at home and energy savings when you are away. 
It is important to understand that the CM61 is not a traditional “ON/OFF” 
controller but a “HI / LOW” temperature controller.
This means that to program the heating to go ‘OFF’ at a particular time a 
lower (setback) temperature setpoint is entered which you would choose 
to protect you and your home.

What will the CM61 Programmable Thermostat do 
for me?

   

Attractive slim styling makes it ideal for location in any suitable 
room in your home.

      

Display Backlight illuminates the display when a key is pressed for 
easier viewing in low light conditions.

 

    

6  daily  independent  temperature  levels  let  you  set  any  
temperatures from 5 to 30°C to match your daily lifestyle.

   

Holiday button saves energy by letting you reduce the temperature 
for 1 to 99 days while you are on holiday, returning to normal operation 
on the day you return.

   

Memory holds the user program indefinitely so that it is never lost 
even if you take the batteries out.

   

Outside Temperature Sensor (optional accessory) can be fitted to 
the CM61 to display the outside temperature.

   

Remote Temperature Sensor (optional accessory) can be fitted to 
the CM61 to control the temperature from another room.

 

    Optimum Start option is a program which ensures that the optimum 

temperature  conditions  are  achieved  at  the  required  times  as 
described below (not available on T6661B1040).

What is Optimum Start?

Optimum Start is an Energy Efficiency Feature that adjusts the start time 
of your heating system depending upon how cold it is.
On cold days your Heating will be started earlier to ensure that your home 
is warm when you get up and on warmer days the heating system will be 
started later to save energy.
So, if the Optimum Start Feature is used, the time / temperature settings 
which are entered into the CM61 are when you want to be warm by and 
not when you want the heating to start. (not available on T6661B1040)

Comfort Solutions

What if something happens to my heating system? How can I check that the CM61 is working?

See the troubleshooting guide below. If you need assistance after this, call your installer. The CM61 should only be opened or removed by a qualified profes-
sional to prevent possible injury from electric shock.
