    Sorry I have no idea about that stat. There are so many ways to hook up a heat pump you wouldn't believe it. It might be worth your wild to have a contractor install a low amient thermostat in the heat pump, you can set this new control at 30 degrees so when it gets below 30 the pump turns off and voltage is transferred to you emergency heat.
