Thermostat Help! How do I connect the wires? Trane/Hunter?

Question

Trying to figure out the correct way to fully wire a Hunter Model 44155C. Originally had a Trane thermostat (not sure of model or number).

I'm confused. Is it necessary to connect some wires or all wires to the thermostat. Like if I have both "G" and "F" do I connect just "G" or would I connect both.

Also it already has a small wire connecting RH to RC.

So I don't need to connect the "R" (red) wire?

"If your thermostat has one wire marked R or RH, then leave the jumper wire between RH and RC on the wallplate." Otherwise seperate RH and RC wires (5 wire system).

Trane wiring (Color Coded):

X2 = Black

O= Orange

G = Green

Y = Yellow

T = Greyish/Black

W = White

R = Red

B = Blue

U - Not used

F - Not used

--------------------------------------...

Hunter Wiring (according to manual):

RH, R, 24 Volt

RC, VC 24 Volt Cool

G or F Fan

--------------------------------------...

Y,C, or M Air conditioning compressor

or

O Reversing Valve operating in Cool Mode

--------------------------------------...

W or H Heating

Or

R Reversing Valve operating in Heat Mode

--------------------------------------...

Y1 Heat Pump Compressor

Thanks for the help. May post more info.

Answer 1

Trane uses W for your auxilliary heat ,x2 for emergency heat,B for neutral,R for hot,G for fan,F is just a malfunction light and might not be used on your new stat,Y for the compressor, and O for the reversing valve, energized in the cool mode,T I'm not sure but probably not used like F.Make certain you bought the correct stat.Good luck

Answer 2

x2 is common you already found that out the hard way that hunter model does not have a delay for the fan in h/p mode why are you changing t stat if its not keeping up its your system not the control
