Connecting TH8321U thermostats to older packaged heat pumps

I think by reading existing threads I have the information I need to do the work I want to do. However someone out there may know of a pit fall that could save me time and money (and maybe a burned out unit).

I have 2 Honeywell TH8321U1097 and 1 TH8321U1006 I would like to use with 3 heat pumps my family has installed. The heat pumps are all 1 cool stage / 2 heat stage (the 2nd stage being aux heat strips). All units are packaged Trane systems. I have already reconfigured and set up the schedules for the Honeywell thermostats.

The day I went to swap out the old analog thermostats I quickly learned there have been some changes in labeling over time. Below are the 3 systems with equipment model numbers and existing wire connections (yes, I know one has blue / black wires reversed, and deserves my scrutiny before continuing). Any feed back, obvious or obscure mistakes, helpful hints, warnings, or questions I need to answer would be most appreciated.

The third analog thermostat has an "AUTO" system selection, the other two must be manually switched between heat and cool.

From an earlier thread I found the following terminal conversions (old to new)

F = L
O = O/B
Y = Y1
X2 = E
W = Aux
G = G
T = Tape off this wire
B = C
R = Rc and R

Thanks in advance,
Jim T

Remove power to the units before replacement or you can pop a fuse or burn up the transformer by touching R to B (C).

You must also configure for heat pump with Aux heat.
Set function 170 to 7.

Verify that function 190 is set to 0.
(The O/B terminal is O)
