I have 2 xl000 units outside and 2 xl80 units in my house
I am trying to change the trane thermostats TAYSTAT241 over to a hunter programable model number 44760
I took the first thermostat off and this is the wiring i found
R=red wire
G1=green wire
Y1=yellow wire
W1=white wire
W2=#FFFAF0 wire
the hunter thermostat has these terminals on its controls and I need to know how to do this or if I even have the right thermostat
G
C
L
O
W2
B
E
R
Y1
I assume and I know that is not a good thing to do because when you assume you make an ass out of u and me but here goes
R-R
G1-G
Y1-Y1
W1-???????? help me here
w2-w2
jumper between w2-E as per instructions with hunter packaging

Look at your unit outside. Beside the XE1000 designation it will say either Air Conditioner or Heat pump. The wiring you are showing is typical of a single stage cool 2 stage heat stat (your original one) which is what that model of stat is.

Then that thermostat will not work properly. You need a single stage cool, 2 stage heat thermostat (non-heat pump).

Just from looking at the Hunter product line on their homepage, they do not make a 2 stage heat/ single cool stat that is non-heat pump. you will probably need to look more at Honeywell or White-Rodgers stats.
