Mode of Operation
The
SC5811
is a programmable, manual or auto changeover, 2-stage heat, 2-stage cool thermostat. It functions
with air conditioning, heat pumps, gas, oil or electric heat systems. An outdoor sensor can be used to monitor the
outdoor temperature.
The thermostat activates the heating appliance when the room temperature is below the set heat temperature
(by the differential temperature) and the red indicator light (configurable) on the thermostat will light. The
SC5811
will stop outputting and the red light will turn off when the call for heat has been satisfied. With heat pumps, the
thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.
When the room temperature is greater than the set cool temperature (by the differential temperature), the cooling
device is activated and the green indicator light (configurable) on the thermostat will turn on. The
SC5811
will
stop outputting and the green light will turn off when the call for cooling is satisfied. The thermostat will not let the
compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.
The
SC5811
has five possible operating modes:
OFF
,
Heat
,
Cool
,
Heat & Cool
, and
Program
mode. In off mode,
the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. The manual fan can be turned on in all operating modes
using the fan button. In heat mode, the thermostat controls the heating system. In the cool mode, the thermostat
controls the cooling system. In heat & cool mode, the thermostat controls both the heating and cooling systems. In
program mode, the thermostat will automatically be controlled by the set program. Program mode can function with
heat mode, cool mode, or heat & cool mode. The clock display alternates with the set temperature display for heat &
cool mode.
The program schedule can be overridden by changing the set temperature (up or down button). This puts the
SC5811
thermostat into a 2-hour temporary hold. After 2 hours, it will automatically return to the program schedule.
The programmable fan feature can be used to recirculate air while in
Program
mode. It is activated during the
program schedule set up.
The
SC5811
also has a button lockout feature. This enables the thermostat to be set to the proper mode and
temperature and locked so it cannot be tampered with.

changing over from one to the other as needed.
• The timing display alternates with the set temperature every 10 seconds in the cool
and heat mode.
Emergency Heat Mode (Heat pump systems only)
• In emergency heat mode, the heat pump system will be disabled and auxiliary
heat will become the primary source of heat.

Field Programming
This feature is used for transferring configuration and program schedule from the master to the target thermostat.
All thermostats for a job can be mounted and powered up. Configure and program one thermostat. This will be the
master. The master will be used to copy the program to the rest of the thermostats.
Preparing the master to Send:
1. The master must be powered with 24 VAC.
2. Verify the master thermostat is in
OFF
mode.
3. Press
SYS
(left) button until
OFF
mode displays.
4. Remove cover of the master thermostat by gently pulling near one of the corners at the top
of the thermostat.
5. Press the
up
and
down
buttons and
CONFIG
switch simultaneously for 5 seconds.
6. The
OUT
screen displays indicating the master thermostat is ready to transfer data.
Note:

up
and
down
buttons and
CONFIG
switch simultaneously for 5 seconds
to exit from data transfer mode and to return the master to the
OFF
mode.
7. Turn off power to the master and remove it from the wall.
8. Connect the master to the target using the 3 wire connector. Attach one end to the Master’s
FP pins and the other end to the Target’s FP pins.
Note:
Target thermostat must be powered with 24 VAC for field
programming to occur.
When the connection has been made correctly, the master thermostat will power up and the target will count from 5
