:confused: I am attempting to replace our Weathertron thermostat with a Honeywell RTH3100C. We have a Trane heatpump system. I am having trouble with the wiring. My wires don't match the 'less common wire designations' in the manual.
I have the following wires on the Weathertron:

R-red
T-brown
O-orange
G-green
Y-yellow
X2-black
B-blue
W-white

I'm not sure where the T wire should go.

You will not use the brown wire, tape it off and stick it in the wall. This "T" connection is only used on the older Trane or GE heat pumps for the outdoor anticipator with the weathertron thermostats. Mike
