I have a Janitrol A/C and heat pump system.
I replaced the thermostat with a Lux T9000LC
The A/C works fine, but the heater does not.
I have it wired as follows:
G - Green
Y - Yellow
W - White
RH - Pink
B -
O - Orange
RC - Red
I have a blue wire and a black wire left over. If I remember correctly, the blue on the Janitrol tstat was used as a Common (C).
What do I need to hook up to the B position?
Do I need any jumpers?
Please help. We're cold.

Pink?? What do you have for back up heat?
Rc and Rh are the same if you have one system, so there really should be only one wire going to Rc/Rh (jumpered?)
