Aube TH106 Programmable Thermostat

1 Description

This programmable thermostat is designed to control electric heating systems, including electric baseboard heaters, radiant ceilings, radiant floors, convectors, and fan-forced heaters.

It is not suitable for the following applications:

• Resistive loads exceeding 16.7 A
• Resistive loads below 2 A
• Systems controlled by contactors or relays (inductive loads)
• Central heating systems

Supplied Parts:

• One (1) thermostat
• Two (2) 6-32 screws
• Two (2) solderless connectors

2 Installation

WARNING: TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Ensure all cables and connections comply with local electrical codes. Use special CO/ALR solderless connectors for aluminum conductors.

Mount the thermostat on an electrical box, approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) high, on an interior wall facing the heater. Avoid locations with air drafts, dead air spots, or direct sunlight. Do not install on walls concealing chimney or stove pipes.

The thermostat wires are not polarized; either wire can connect to the load or power supply.

Wiring:

• Connect the thermostat wires to the line wires and load wires using solderless connectors for copper wires.
• 2-wire installation
• 4-wire installation
• Push any excess wire back into the electrical box.

Note: If necessary, configure the thermostat (see Section 3) before re-installing the front component.

Return power to the heating system.

3 Configuration

Configuration switches are located on the back of the thermostat. Factory settings are indicated in the table below:

Early Start: Enables the thermostat to calculate the optimal start time for heating in Automatic mode to reach the desired temperature by the set time. It re-assesses the start time daily based on previous performance.

Cycle Length: Short cycles are recommended for better temperature control. Long cycles are required for fan-forced heaters; the word 'FAN' will display when long cycles are selected.

Keypad Lock: When locked, temperature adjustment buttons only allow viewing the setpoint.

4 Clock and Day Setting

To set the clock and day:

1. Press the Hour button to set the hour.
2. Press the Min button to set the minutes.
3. Press the Day button to set the day.
4. Press the Mode button to finish.

Daylight Savings Time (DLS):

The thermostat can automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time. When enabled ('On'), it switches on the second Sunday of March and to standard time on the first Sunday of November. The default setting is 'Off'.

To enable/disable DLS:

1. Press and hold the Day button for 3 seconds until 'DLS' appears.
2. Press the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] buttons to toggle between 'On' and 'Off'.
3. Briefly press the Day button. The year will display.
4. Use the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] buttons to set the current year.
5. Briefly press the Day button. The month will display.
6. Use the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] buttons to set the current month.
7. Briefly press the Day button. The date will display.
8. Use the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] buttons to set the current date.
9. Press the Mode button to finish.

5 Temperature Setting

Setpoint:

The thermostat normally displays the current temperature. Press the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] button briefly to view the setpoint for 5 seconds. Press and hold the buttons to change the setpoint more quickly.

Preset Temperatures:

The thermostat offers three preset temperatures:

• Comfort: For when occupants are home (Factory: 21°C / 70°F).
• Economy: For when occupants are asleep or away (Factory: 16.5°C / 62°F).
• Vacation: For prolonged absences (Factory: 10°C / 50°F).

To use Comfort or Economy, press the respective [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] button. The corresponding icon will appear.

To use Vacation, press both the [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow] buttons simultaneously. The [Vacation Icon] will appear.

Storing Preset Temperatures:

To save a Comfort or Economy temperature: Set the desired temperature, then press and hold the appropriate button ([Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow]) for approximately 3 seconds until its icon appears.

To save a Vacation temperature: Set the desired temperature, then press and hold both the [Up Arrow] and [Down Arrow] buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds until the [Vacation Icon] appears.

6 Modes of Operation

• Automatic: The thermostat follows the programmed schedule. Press the Mode button until the [Auto Icon] is displayed. The current period and preset temperature icons will also be shown.
• Temporary Bypass: If you change the setpoint while in Automatic mode, the new setpoint is active until the start of the next scheduled period. Pressing the Mode button cancels the bypass.
• Manual: The programmed schedule is ignored, and the temperature is set manually. Press the Mode button until the [Manual Icon] is displayed, then use the [Up Arrow], [Down Arrow], or [Mode Button] to adjust the temperature.

7 Schedule

The schedule allows for 4 periods per day (Wake, Leave, Return, Sleep). You can program specific times for each period, or skip periods if they are not needed (e.g., for weekends).

Comfort ([Comfort Icon]) temperature is used for periods 1 and 3; Economy ([Economy Icon]) temperature is used for periods 2 and 4.

You can set a different schedule for each day of the week.

Default Schedule Example:

(This schedule repeats Monday through Friday. Weekends may have different settings or be skipped.)

To modify the schedule:

1. Press Pgm to enter programming mode. Period 1 is selected.
2. Press Day to select the day to program (hold for 3 seconds to select the entire week).
3. Use Hour and Min to set the start time for the selected period, or press Clear to skip the period (--:-- will display).
4. Press Pgm to move to the next period, or press Day to select another day. Repeat step 3.
5. Press Mode to exit programming mode.

Note: The thermostat will exit programming mode automatically if no button is pressed for 60 seconds.

8 Power Outage

During a power outage, 'LP' (Low Power) appears for the first minute, then the screen goes blank. Settings are retained in memory.

If a power failure exceeds 4 hours, the clock must be reset, and the Daylight Savings Time function may need to be re-enabled.

When power is restored, the thermostat will resume the mode active before the outage.
