I'm replacing a 24 year old Bryant heat pump thermostat with two mercury switches, part number P271-3456 with a Honeywell TH4210D. It controls a heat pump/air conditioner with electric thermal storage (equivalent to electric resistance backup) as second stage heating. The Honeywell manual and website do not cover my situation, as all 8 thermostat wires are connected to the thermostat and there are no jumpers:

Wire Color - Old Thermostat Terminal

Red - R
Org - O
Yel - Y
Grn - G
Brn - C
Blu - E
Wht - W1
Blk - W2



The TH4210D has the following wiring positions for heat pumps:
C
B
R
L
O
G
Y
AUX
E

Can any one advis which wire needs to connect to the new thermostat

Thanks

I am curious about what W1 and W2 control.
Do you have elec. resistance heat also?
Is the ets 2 stage?
If you don't know then answer this: Do you ever feel cold air blowing from vents when heat pump goes into defrost?
You may need a 3 stage thermostat.

New terminal = wire(s)
C = brown
B = not used
R = red
L = not used
O = orange
G = green
Y = yellow
Aux = black and white
E = blue

Note that Carrier uses brown for common instead of the blue used in my example...
