    New Honeywell thermostat wiring
    I am replacing my old Honeywell (q675 subbase) with a new Honewell FocusPro TH6220D.
    I have a RUUD heatpump with a RUUD electric furnace.

    It looks as though there are some wiring differences between the old and the new one.

    The old thermostat had the following wires connected.

    X (Brown) -- "Clogged filter switch or common connection"
    E (White) -- "Emergency Heat Relay:
    G (Green) -- "Fan Relay"
    R (Red) -- "Power connection to transformer"
    B (Blue) -- "Changeover Valve"
    Y (Yellow) -- "Compressor Contactor"

    The descriptions of the connections are from a manual for the q675 I found online.

    Based on this I suspect that the connection is made in the following way on the new one.


    Old Terminal Color New Terminal
    X (Brown) C
    E (White) E
    G (Green) G
    R (Red) R
    B (Blue) G
    Y (Yellow) Y

    Does this look correct?

    This basically means that the only change for honeywell was X is now C. I don't know if this is standardized in the HVAC world, or just a Honeywell terminal naming convention. In any case I have heard that if you miss wire these things it can cause major problems.
