Hi guys,
I am about to replace a very old thermostat Honeywell T87A15531 w/ the new Honeywell CT8775C for my heat/cool system.
The terminals on the old thermostat are R,W,Y,G,O,X,1,2,3,4,5,6 and it's wired as below:
Red wire to R terminal
White wire to W
Yellow wire to Y
Green wire to G
Blue wire to 4
1 to 5
2 to R
3 to Y
O,X and 6 are unused.

The new CT8775C has terminals R,W,Y,G,B,O and Rc.
My questions are:
(a) what is blue wire for ?
(b) are these compatible?
(c) if yes in (b), should I just tape the blue wire off or connect it to B terminal on the new thermostat?

Many thanks

newbie

Hi xenos,
I notice that there is no B terminal on the old thermostat and you forgot the yellow wire and Y terminal. How should I connect
the 5 wires?

Y goes to Y and disreguard the B is it's not used.
