I recently bought a new thermostat from Honeywell, model VisionPro TH8320. I'm replacing the old thermostat MapleChase 9620 (now Robertshaw 9620). The old one was working correctly. It has 7 wires. I believe I figured how to wire 5 of them, but not sure about the remaining two. I tried different combinations, but it always gives me heat instead of cold.
Based on Robertshaw 9620, my configuratioon is a typical heat pump with cool active reversing valve and auxiliary/emergency heat. 7 wires has following code: C (24V common), R (24V hot), Y1 (first stage compressor), E (emergency heat), G (indoor fan), W2 (second stage heat), O (cool active reversing valve).
Based on this wire, I figured my system must be a 2H/2C system (1 transformer), becase only this one has 7 wires based on instruction of TH8320. Is it right?
I found the matching terminor at TH8320 for C (24V common), R (Power, with jumper to RC), G (fan relay), W2 (heat relay 2). I connected Y1 (first stage compressor) from MapleChase to Y (cool relay 1). However, I'm not sure with the remaining two wires. E (emergency heat) and O (cool active reversing valve) in MapleChase. I tried to put E into E (emergency heat relay), and O into W (also O/B for 1st stage heat relay or Changeover valve for heat pumps). But I got hot air instead of cool air, although the thermostat says cooling. This doesn't match any wiring guide in TH8320 user manual.
Please help. Thank you very much.
