Need help with wiring a Honeywell T8011 Digital Thermostat
I bought the 'T8011R1006' programmable Digital Thermostat to replace my existing 'T874R1822', Analog Thermostat that controls a 2-Stage Heating and 1-Stage Cooling Electric Heatpump, The Sub-base model of the existing thermostat is 'Q674L1710'. The volts going into the thermostat is 24V. The thermostat also controls central Air Conditioning. The available terminals on the old analog thermostat are W2, W3, L, O, X, R, Y, E, G and B. There are 7 wires going into the W2, L, O, X, R, Y and G terminals and there is also a cross connection between the W2 and E terminals. In the new Digital thermostat 'T8011R1006' the available terminals are: W1, W2, L, O, C, R, Y, E, G and B. My doubts in the wiring are:
(1) Since there is no X terminal in the digital thermostat I bought, can I make the same connection to the C terminal?
(2) The connection to the W2 terminals from the analog thermostat should go into the W2 terminal in the digital thermostat as well, isn't it?
(3) Should I make the cross connection between W2 and E in the digital thermostat as well?
(4) All the other connections from the analog thermostat would be mapped one-on-one in the digital thermostat as well, isn't it?
Same Thermostat, only two wires
Please help me, I have ten years electronics experience and I can't figure this out. I have two wires, one red, one white. Logic would dictate that since there are only two, and this is a relay type system, then it doesn't matter which way they are connected. So I have the red going to the R(Rc Jumpered) and the White going to the W. This is what is in the instructions, this is what I did. Only the boiler never kicks on. I shorted the wired together and the boiler works fine. I tried playing with the Thermo and a meter. None of the connections ever short together whether the system in on or not. Am I doing something wrong or is my thermo shot?
