I was given this thermostat by a friend. He removed it from a place that
wanted to start using 7 day programmable thermostats. There is nothing
wrong with the thermostat. I am using the thermostat in my own place
because the one i currently have is an old mercury thermostat. Thank you
for your kind assistance

No, the landlord is cheap and doesn't want to use new hardware when good
used can work. And I don't screw things up. Only people who don't know how
to ask questions screw things up. I thought I could figure this out and
apparently couldn't. SO before I did potentially screw up a few thousand
dollars worth of a/c equipment I thought I'd try and find a diagram
online. I know I can get it together with the right install guide.

The thermostat came out of a business that went to 7 day programmable
thermostats. There is nothing wrong with the Totaline thermostat.
I put back the old thermostat for now and was hoping to get some help on a
wiring diagram. Please any help would be appreciated.

I know I'm not a "professional" in any one trade but my experience has
been even "professionals" can be jerks. To be a professional requires more
than all that training you get at a vocational school or the years of on
the job training you've had. It requires good people skills to. I may not
have had the opportunities like some of the others on this website forum
to get a proper education in HVAC but that shouldn't make me any less of a
person in your sight.
Please I am not trying to belittle anyone or be a jerk myself. I just
needed help with a thermostat install/diagram guide.

Apparently you have a heat pump thermostat, which ( incidentally ) will work
fine if you ignore all installation instructions and use it in a "heat only"
system--this so as long as nobody *ever* sets the thing into auto or cool
mode.

Have fun.

but it works in cool mode. It cools just fine. What happens is that when
you turn the heat on the fan comes on but the heater doesnt kick on. When
i reinstalled the old thermostat the heater will kick on. With the new one
it wont. Am i doomed to wait on the totaline customer service to email me
about this?

Your Tech support guy in India is still in training to speak English and
to read Chinese instruction manuals. Maybe in about 6 months you will
get support with a Fee attached. I do hope you are good at translating
sub-bilingual English. That is a Heat pump Thermostat! You don't have a
Heat pump! Does that maybe give you a clue as to what your problem is?
All you are doing here is providing entertainment for the troops.
