Here's the thermostat Daniel has: https://forwardthinking.honeywell.com/related_links/thermostats/pro_3000/install/69_1775.pdf

Here's a 4 wire thermostat like Kenny has: http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-thermostat3.htm

4 Wire thermostat wiring:

red - 24v input yellow - cooling white - heating green - fan

1 - B - empty 2 - O - empty 3 - G - green 4 - Y - yellow 5 - W - white 6 - Not used 7 - R - jumpered 8 - RC - red (and jumpered)

FAN ON = GREEN AC ON = GREEN + YELLOW HEAT ON = WHITE
