How to install wiring for new thermostat?

Old one has 9 wires and new one has 8 wires. Where do each of these wires go?

Welcome to the forums.

Although they are both thermostats.... they couldn't be more different.

You have an FCU (fan coil unit)..... sometimes also known as a PTAC (packaged terminal).
Your thermostat runs on 120v and switches much differently than the 24v model you want to use.
You can only upgrade to another 120v thermostat or major re-wiring work would need to be done.

Those pictures are great but doesn't change the fact that you want to install a 24v thermostat on 120v lines. You can replace that with a new 120v line powered thermostat or you can add relays in your system to convert from 24v to 120v. It's not hard but you need to understand wiring.

If you want to make the conversion... take a picture of the wiring at the FCU.
A picture of the wiring diagram would be helpful too.
