- Room or Floor Temperature Display: Shows the current ambient or floor temperature.
- Operating Mode and Setpoint Type Display: Indicates the current operating mode and setpoint type.
- Current Program Number Display: Shows the number of the currently active program.
- Setpoint Adjustment: Buttons to increase or decrease the desired setpoint temperature.
- Pre-programmed Setpoints: Accesses or displays pre-defined temperature settings.
Temperature Control Modes:
- A: Controls room temperature.
- AF: Controls room temperature and limits floor temperature.
- F: Controls floor temperature.
Installation and Setup
Module Installation
Insert the support tabs of the control module into the slots on the power module. The control module must be installed on a PB112 series power module. Ensure ventilation openings on the thermostat are clean and unobstructed. The retaining screw cannot be removed.
Control Module is shown connected to Power Module.
Initial Power-Up
Upon first power-up, the screen displays 0:00, Mon, and the room or floor temperature. Use the [Hour Button] - [Minute Button] to set the time and the [Day Button] to set the day of the week.
Error Messages (Models AF and F)
If the installation is non-compliant or defective, one of the following messages may appear:
- LO: Floor temperature is below 0°C (32°F), or the temperature sensor is defective or not connected. The heating indicator is displayed and the relay is closed.
- HI: Floor temperature is above 60°C (140°F), or the temperature sensor is defective.
GFCI Test
The GFCI is designed to reduce the risk of electric shock. Test the GFCI upon installation and monthly. To test:
- Increase the temperature until the heating indicator is displayed.
- Press the [Test Button].
- Successful Test: The indicator light illuminates, and the heating system power is cut.
- Unsuccessful Test: The indicator light does not illuminate. Turn off power to the heating system and contact customer service.
Once the test is successful, switch the interrupter from ON to STANDBY and back to ON to re-energize the heating system.
Note: If the indicator light illuminates during normal operation, turn off the circuit power and have the installation checked by an electrician.
Programming and Operation
Pre-programmed Setpoints
The following setpoints are pre-programmed:
Ind. | Description | Pre-programmed (A/AF, F) | Modified |
---|---|---|---|
Comfort (at home) | A/AF: 21°C, F: 28°C | ||
Economy (unoccupied/night) | A/AF: 18°C, F: 20°C | ||
Vacation (extended absence) | A/F/AF: 10°C (50°F) |
Modifying Setpoints
- Set the desired temperature.
- Press and hold the setpoint button until the corresponding symbol is displayed.
- Press [Mode/Return Button] to exit.
Floor Temperature Limit
The floor temperature limit is pre-programmed to 28°C. To modify this limit:
- Press and hold the [Increase Setpoint Button] while switching the interrupter from STANDBY to ON.
- Release and set the temperature.
- Press [Return Button].
To prevent floor damage, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Operation Modes
- AUTO: Executes the schedule. Press [Mode Button] until the program number is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
- Manual: Maintains a constant temperature. Press [Mode Button] until the manual mode symbol is displayed. Adjust the temperature or select a pre-programmed setpoint.
- VACANCE: Maintains the Vacation setpoint during extended absence. Press [Mode Button] until the vacation mode symbol is displayed.
It is possible to temporarily override the current program by adjusting the temperature or selecting a pre-defined setpoint. The new setpoint will be maintained until the start of the next program.
Pre-programmed Schedule
The TH115 is pre-programmed as follows:
Times and Desired Temperatures:
Time | Wake-up & Desired Temp. | Departure & Temp. during absence | Return & Desired Temp. | Bedtime & Temp. during night |
---|---|---|---|---|
6:00 | 21°C | |||
8:30 | 18°C | |||
16:00 | 21°C | |||
23:00 | 18°C |

Schedule Modification
You can program up to 4 programs per day, with different schedules for each day. It's often easier to set the same schedule for the entire week and then modify exception days.
To Modify:
- Press [PGM Button] to access programming.
- Press [DAY Button] to select the day, or press and hold for 3 seconds to select all days.
- Press [PGM Button] to select the program.
- Press [Hour Button] and [Minute Button] to set the time, OR press CLEAR to erase the time (--:-- means the program will not run).
- Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the remaining programs.
- Press [Return Button] to exit.
Note: The TH115 will exit programming mode after 60 seconds of inactivity.

Remote Control Input
The TH115 features a remote control input allowing connection to a telephone controller (CT240, optional) or other remote control systems (e.g., home automation). When this input receives a signal, the thermostat switches to Vacation mode. When the signal is removed, it returns to normal operation.
Activating Vacation Mode
Vacation mode can be activated in two ways:
- From the thermostat: Refer to "Operating Modes".
- From a telephone: Refer to the CT240 instruction manual for details.
ATTENTION: When Vacation mode is activated via the CT240 button or a telephone, it must be deactivated in the same manner.
Temperature Control
The TH115 operates differently from conventional electromechanical thermostats. It uses an adaptive Proportional-Integral-Adaptive (PIA) controller that defines heating cycles based on the room's temperature history. The PIA controller minimizes temperature variations, ensuring more precise temperature regulation and increased occupant comfort. It determines the power to apply to the heating system to maintain the setpoint temperature.

PB112 Power Module - Installation Notice
This notice is for models: 120GA / 120GB / 120S / 240GA / 240GB / 240S / 240D
Parts Included
- One (1) power base
- Two (2) mounting screws
- Four (4) solderless connectors
- NOTE: For aluminum wire connections, use connectors marked CO/ALR.
- One (1) floor probe including a flat-head screwdriver (for floor heating models: F and AF)
Directives
Cut power to the heating system to avoid electrical shock. Installation must be performed by an electrician.
- Install the thermostat on an electrical box.
- For new installations, choose a location approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) above the floor, in an area not influenced by temperature changes.
- Install the thermostat on an interior wall facing the heating system (except for floor heating systems).
- Avoid areas with drafts (top of stairs, air vents), stagnant air (behind doors), direct sunlight, concealed pipes, or chimneys (except for floor heating systems).
Procedure
- Connect the base wires to the electric heating system (load) and power supply wires using copper wire connectors (Figure 1).
- For F or AF models (not A), insert the probe wire through one of the two available holes under the terminal block (Figure 2) and connect it to terminals 3 and 4 of the base (no polarity). The wire should follow the terminal block and not pass over it. The wire should not cross a heating cable or be installed adjacent to one. The probe should be centered between heating cables for proper function.
- If using a remote control (e.g., CT240 or CT241), insert the connection wire (use 18 to 22 AWG flexible wire) through one of the two available holes under the terminal block and connect it to terminals 1 and 2 of the base (Figure 2). Refer to the remote controller manual for details.
- Push high-voltage wires into the electrical box.
- Secure the base to the electrical box using the provided screws.
- If necessary, configure the control module's configuration selectors (refer to the user guide).
- Install the control module onto the base.
- Turn on the system power.
Figure 1 shows wiring connections for the power module. Figure 2 shows probe and remote control wire routing.
