Unhappy Help, what system setup do I have???

I just bought a Honeywell RTH7400 thermostat. It the set up it asks what the system setup is. There are 10 options to choose from. I have in narrowed down to the 4 below..

7. Multi stage heat pump: Heat pump with backup or aux heating.

8. Conventional multi stage system: 2 heat stages (wires on W and W2), 2 cooling stages (wires on Y and Y2)

9. Conventional multi stage system: 2 heat stages (wires on W and W2), 1 cooling stage (wire on Y).

10. Conventional multi stage system: 1 heat stage (wire on W), 2 cooling stages (wires on Y and Y2)

All I know is that I have an air handler in the attic and a heat pump outside. I dont know if it's 1 stage, 2 stage or if it has aux heat. Which type do I choose?

Model # of air handler NFCX3600C1
Style # FCX3600C

Both units are made by International comfort product corp. (tempstar 12)

Heat pump model # NHP230AKA1

Not sure what brand name the original t-stat is, it doesn't say.

It's wired as follows:

White - W2 & E
Orange - O
Green - G
Red - The terminal is not labeled,but it goes straight to the selector switch (Cool, off, heat, emer)
Yellow - Y
Blue - C

It appears your system is multi stage heat pump. Option 7 on your list. Follow the instructions on the stat. Based on the info you provided I would connect as follows:

red to R terminal

white wire is your electric backup heat and emergency heat - this should connect to W2 and E.

Blue to C
Yellow to Y
Green to G
Orange to O
