Aube TH115 A/F/AF Owner's Guide

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Aube TH115, a programmable thermostat that provides both energy savings and comfort.

First Power ON

When power is applied for the first time, the LCD displays: 0:00, MO (Monday), and temperature (room/floor).

To set the current time and day:

• Press HOUR - MIN to set the current time.
• Press DAY to set current day.

For AF and F models: one of the two following messages may be displayed if the installation is incorrect:

• LO: The floor temperature is below 32°F (0°C), or the temperature sensor is defective, or not connected. The heating indicator [heating-symbol] is displayed and the relay is closed (energized).
• HI: The floor temperature is above 140°F (60°C), or the temperature sensor is defective.

[Image Description: A diagram shows the thermostat's LCD displaying time 14:25, temperature 18.2°C, and day MO. Below this are two examples: "Correct" showing 0:00 LO, and "Incorrect" showing 0:00 LO. The text explains that "LO" indicates a floor temperature below 32°F (0°C) or a defective/disconnected sensor, and "HI" indicates a floor temperature above 140°F (60°C) or a defective sensor. The heating indicator is depicted with a flame symbol.]

TH115 Description

Models

• A: Controls the Ambient temperature.

• F: Controls the Floor temperature.

GFCI Test (GA & GB power base only)

The GFCI monitors the electrical flow for any loss of current. If there is one, the thermostat will cut off power to the heating system. It is recommended to test the GFCI immediately after installing the control module, and once a month thereafter to ensure it is operating properly.

To test:

• Increase the temperature until the heating indicator [heating-symbol] is displayed.
• Press TEST:

• Successful: The TEST warning light is ON and power to the heating system is cut off.
• Unsuccessful: The TEST warning light is OFF. Cut power to the heating system from the main power panel and call customer service.

When successful, reset the thermostat (Stand By/On) to power the heating system.

NOTE: If the test warning light comes ON during normal operation, cut power to the heating system from the main power panel and have an electrician verify the installation.

Switch Selection

This thermostat is factory-set to the following values:

Notes:

• a. Temperature format: If you switch from °F to °C or vice versa, the setpoints may need to be redefined.
• b. Early Start: When using AUTO mode, the thermostat calculates the optimum start time to obtain the desired temperature by the set time. The heating system could be started a few hours prior to the set time when required.

[Image Description: A diagram shows switches SW1, SW2, SW3 located on the rear of the control module. Text indicates that to modify any setting, switch UP or DN. The table above details the function of each switch.]

Temperature Setpoint

The following temperature setpoints are pre-programmed:

To modify a setpoint:

• Set the desired temperature using ▲▼.
• Press and hold the ▲ or ▼ button until the [setpoint-symbol] is displayed.
• Press RET to exit.

Floor temperature limit

The floor temperature limit is 82°F. To modify this limit:

• Press and hold [button-name] while switching from ON to Stand By then back to On.
• Set temperature using ▲▼.
• Press RET to exit.

To avoid damaging your floor, it is recommended to follow the supplier's instructions.

Control Module Installation

Align the bracket tabs on the control module with the holes located on top of the power base.

[Image Description: A diagram shows the control module and the power base, illustrating how to align the bracket tabs on the control module with the holes on the power base.]

NOTE: Keep the thermostat's air vents clean and free from obstructions.

NOTE: The screw cannot be removed completely.

Operating Modes

• Automatic: Executes the schedule. Press MODE until [auto-mode-symbol] is displayed. The current program number is displayed. You can temporarily bypass the current program by setting a specific temperature using ▲▼ or by pressing on a pre-defined setpoint button (※). The new setpoint will be maintained until the beginning of the next program.
• Manual: Maintains a constant temperature. Press MODE until [manual-mode-symbol] is displayed. Set temperature or press (※) to use a pre-defined setpoint.
• Vacation: Maintains the Vacation setpoint during a prolonged absence. Press MODE until [vacation-mode-symbol] is displayed.

[Image Description: A diagram shows the thermostat display in different operating modes. One shows 6:42, 20.2°C with the "Automatic" mode symbol. Another shows 6:42, 24.2°C with the "Manual" mode symbol. A third shows 9:25, 10.0°C with the "Vacation" mode symbol.]

Pre-programmed Schedule

The TH115 programmable thermostat is pre-programmed with the following schedule:

[Image Description: A table shows the pre-programmed schedule. It lists four time slots per day: Wake (6:00), Leave (8:30), Return (16:00), and Sleep (23:00). The schedule is the same for Monday through Sunday, except for the "Leave" and "Return" times which are marked as "--:--" for Saturday and Sunday.]

Modify the Schedule

Notes:

• You can program up to 4 different programs per day.
• Each day can have different programs.
• It is sometimes faster to program the same schedule for the entire week and then modify the exception days.

To modify:

• Press PGM to access the programming mode.
• Press DAY to select the day to be programmed (hold for 3 seconds to select all days of the week).
• Press PGM to select the program number.
• Press HOUR and MIN to set the time or press CLEAR to clear the time (--:-- is disregarded).
• Repeat steps 2 to 4 for remaining programs.
• When completed, press RET to exit mode.

NOTE: After 60 seconds of inactivity, the thermostat will automatically exit programming mode.

Remote Input

The TH115 is equipped with a remote input which allows connection of a telephone controller (accessory Aube CT240) or any other remote control system. When a signal is received through this input, the TH115 will automatically switch from normal operating mode to Vacation mode [vacation-mode-symbol], and vice versa when the signal is removed.

Activating the Vacation mode

There are two ways to activate the Vacation mode:

• From the thermostat, see "Operating Modes" above.
• From a telephone (remote location). For details on how to activate using a telephone, refer to the CT240 Instruction Manual.

WARNING: When the Vacation mode is activated remotely, it must be deactivated remotely.

Temperature Control

The TH115 thermostat works differently than conventional electromechanical thermostats. It is equipped with a proportional integral adaptive (P.I.A.) controller which determines heating cycles by analyzing the temperature behavior history within the room. The P.I.A. controller reduces temperature variations, providing accurate temperature control while increasing user comfort.

The controller determines the amount of power required by the heating system to maintain the setpoint temperature.

[Image Description: A visual aid shows bars representing power percentages from 1 to 20%, 21 to 40%, 41 to 60%, 61 to 80%, and 81 to 100%. This illustrates how the P.I.A. controller adjusts power output.]

The thermostat uses proportional integral adaptive (P.I.A.) control, with heating cycles of 15-minute or 15-second duration depending on the application and power base.
