Hi.
I have a heat pump and an electric heat system and I am trying to replace my old thermostat (Robertshaw 300-208) with a Honeywell RTH8500D.
The original wiring setup on the Robertshaw 300-208 was the following:
terminal - color
---------------------------- W1 - white Y1 - yellow G - green R - red
24V - jumper to R 24V(c) - black O - orange B - not connectedI have made the following connections on the Honeywell RTH8500D:
terminal - color
---------------------------- RC - jumper to R R - red O/B - orange Y - yellow G - green C - black E - jumper to AUX AUX - white
This wiring scenario seems to be working ok for a while, but after some time the circuit breaker turns off and I have to reset it. I have tried other wiring scenarios as per the manual without success, but I have to admit that it's pretty difficult for me to understand.
I would welcome any help to resolve this issue and the Honeywell site and their client service is of no use.
Thank you.
