HVAC Control Panel
I am replacing an old HVAC control unit with a new one ... but wire
markings are different. The instructions with the new unit are unclear. Old unit is WeatherTron New is LUX. Old - R, T, O, G, Y, X2, B, U, W. New - G,Y,W,RH,B,O,RC. Which wire goes to which wire? Thanks for help. Bob |

Here Hold My beer and Watch this ! first a lot of the Old WeatherTron units was heat pumps and the thermostat you have will not deal with the X 2 , U , and T teminals. If not a heat pump read below. If not a heat pump here goes; OLD NEW THERMOSTAT R ----------------- Rh / RC G ----------------- G Y ----------------- Y W ---------------- W Tape off others. Now Hand me my Beer Back ! TURTLE |

Turns out I do have a heat pump ... so it looks like my control will
not work? The old control unit works, it just doesn't have a lot of the programming features of the new control unit. Thanks anyway for your help. Bob |

Your old thermostat (I"m assuming that's what you're talking about) is not a
"Weathertron" ... that's the name of your unit. Your new thermostat won't work on a multi-stage heat pump, but would work on a single stage heat pump (betting you're got a multi-stage). Take it back (assuming they'll give you your money back, which I doubt) and buy a decent thermostat (NOT a LUX - that's a real piece of ****) designed for a multi-stage heat pump. Should be an 800 number for assistance with wiring connections (hint: you won't use the wire from the T terminal on the old thermostat). -- Scott McDaniel InfoTrakker Software "seniorgeezer" wrote in message oups.com...

It looks as though it is by the old designations. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++ spam protection measure, Please remove the 33 to send e-mail |
