Totaline P474-1100REC Thermostat
I recently purchased a wireless programmable digital thermostat. The thermostat I used to have is a Braeburn Model 1000, which can be seen here: http://www.braeburnonline.com/model1000.html
The thermostat I am attempting to install has the installation manual listed online and can be seen here: http://www.iaqsource.com/pdf/p4741100rf_install.pdf
As you can see from the Braeburn thermostat, I have a single stage A/C with a single stage electric heat pump. I turned on the heat pump on the new receiver by flipping the dip switch next to HP to the On position. I have a total of five wires coming out of the wall. Their colors are as follows: White, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Red.
The Braeburn had the following connections, RC, RH, B, O, Y, W, and G. The RC & RH connection had a jumper connecting the two together and the Red wire from the wall was connected to the RH connection. The B connection was empty, the Orange wire was connected to the O connection, the Yellow wire connected to the Y connection, the White wire connected to the W connection, and the Green wire connected to the G connection.
I have the new receiver connected as follows: The Red wire is connected to the R connection, the Orange wire is connected to the W1, O, B connection, the Yellow wire connected to the Y1 connection, the White wire is not connected to anything, and the Green wire is connected to the G connection.
I tried to connect both the Orange and White wires to the same connection (W1, O, B) but when I turned the heat on it came out as cold air. When I left the White wire disconnected the heat pump seemed to operate correctly.
The problem is that when I turn on the A/C, the unit turns on as usual and blows cold air but I suddenly lose power to the Receiver as the all of the LED lights go off (indicating whether the heat is on, fan is on, or A/C is on) except for the Power light, which is suddenly extremely dim. When I pull the faceplate off and then put it back on the Power light is bright again, I can turn on the heat just fine but then continue to have problems when turning on the A/C. Last night I set the temperature to 65 degrees for the A/C and woke up with it still going at 54 degrees. I had to pull the faceplate off to get it to shut off.
Suggestions?
