Aube Technologies TH101A Manuals

MODEL TH101A INSTALLATION This thermostat has been designed to operate with any installation which has a resistive load (not exceeding 4000W / 240Vac or 2000W / 120Vac) such as electric baseboards, radiant ceilings and floors, electric convectors, etc. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A LOW VOLTAGE CONTROLLER USED BY A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM. Electricians or experienced technicians should install the thermostat. This thermostat is designed to be used with a self -protected heating system equiped with a circuit breaker. If you have any questions concerning the installation or programming of the thermostat, please call our technical assistance at (514) 358-4600 for Montreal area or 1-800-831-AUBE for outside area, between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, Montreal eastern time, Canada. TURN OFF POWER TO HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Keep air vents of thermostat clean and free from obstructions. 1) What kind of heating system do you have ? The thermostat has been factory set to proportio- nally control electric base- boards, radiant systems and convectors. Since proportionnal control uses a fast commutation rate (120/min) it is not compatible with fan equipped systems. You can change the control mode to make it compatible with fan equipped convectors. In that case, slide switch #1 (SW1) located on the back of the thermostat at position « ON », than press on the « reset » button by using a fine probe. 2) Mounting thermostat wallplate Wallplate is used when the thermostat is to be mounted close to a door frame or any other obstacle. It is also useful to level the thermostat. Secure the wallplate to the electrical box using 6-32, 1/2" screws. See above drawing. 3) Connecting wires and mounting thermostat Connect the rear thermostat wires to the power supply and to the electric heater wires using solderless connectors for copper wires. See schematic diagram. Push the excess wire back into the electrical box to prevent interference with the thermostat. Fix the thermostat using two (2) 6-32 screws 1 3/4 inches long. Once the thermostat is properly installed, return power to heating system. Note 1: All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code. Note 2: In normal use, the thermostat's housing temperature can reach 35 to 45 °C. Warning : Special service CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminium controlers. 4) Batteries Your thermostat is provided with two (2) back-up batteries. Those batteries will protect the clock and your programs against power failure. Batteries are used only during power failure and provide 500 hrs of protection. To install the back-up batteries, press the latch on the battery compartment and lift off the cover. Insert the batteries and respect the polarity. Replace the cover. To check batteries condition, press BATT key. The display must show BATT OK. If LO BATT is displayed, change the batteries. If you have a new thermostat and the LO BATT indicator is displayed, check the batteries polarity or stretch out the contact on the battery cover. WARNING : Never let children play with batteries. Swallowing a button cell battery could be fatal. 5) First power-up When power is applied for the first time, the display must show the day and hour as follows: 12:00 MO (Monday) The active operation mode is the framed OFF mode. If the display is different, press the RESET button. Use a fine probe such as a straightened paper clip to gently push the RESET button. 6) Temperature displayed in °C or °F. You can choose to display the temperature in Celsius (°C) or in Fahrenheit (°F). Your thermostat has been preset in Celsius. To change the display setting in °F, press and release the RESET button while the MODE button is pushed in. 1.5 volt battery type no 357 or 76
