Aube Technologies TH104 Thermostat Installation Instructions

Aube Technologies TH104 Thermostat

Installation

This thermostat has been designed to control a RESISTIVE load not exceeding 3500 W @ 240 VAC or 1750 W @ 120 VAC, such as electric baseboards, convectors, radiant ceilings, floor heating systems, etc.
It is not compatible with a low voltage controller used by a central heating system or systems using a contactor or a relay whose current is under 2 A.
TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Installation should be carried out by an electrician.
This thermostat is designed to be used with a self-pro-protected heating system equipped with linear limit control and circuit breaker.

• For a new installation, choose a location about 5 ft. (1.5 m) above the floor, facing the heating system and on an inside wall.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air outlet), dead air spots (behind a door), direct sunlight or concealed chimneys or stove pipes.
• All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code.
• Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminum conductors.
• The wires are not polarized, therefore the connections can be made on either terminal.

PROVIDED PARTS

1. One (1) TH104 thermostat
2. Two (2) 6-32 mounting screws
3. Two (2) solderless connectors

Connect The Thermostat
Connect the rear wires to the power and load using solderless connectors for copper wires.

Secure the Thermostat
Push the excess wire into the electrical box to prevent interference with the thermostat. Secure the base to the electrical box using the provided screws. The base can be secured on the left or right hand side of the electrical box.

Complete the Installation
Once the thermostat is configured and installed, return power to heating system. Keep the thermostat’s air vents clean and free from obstructions.

First Power On

To view the ambient temperature, peel the lower-right section of the sticker and remove it from the display. When you first power on the thermostat, the display indicates: 0:00, MO (Monday), the ambient temperature and the MANual mode is selected (framed). The default setpoint is preset to 20°C.

Protected memory
During a power failure, all programs are protected. The thermostat display remains on for approximately 15 minutes after which the LP indicator is displayed (low power). Only the time must be reset if the power failure exceeds 6 hours. The thermostat will automatically return to the previous mode when power returns.

Options Selection

The TH104 offers the following options:

Temperature display	°C	°F
Time display	24 h	12 h
Temperature control	Proportional	Conventional

Highlighted options are factory pre-set. If these options fit your requirements, go to the next menu.

Temperature Display
To change the temperature display from °C to °F and vice-versa:

• Press and hold , do not release.
• Reset the thermostat using a pointed object (e.g. paperclip).
• Release the button.

Time Display
To change the time display format from 12 to 24 hours and vice-versa:

• Press and hold ; do not release.
• Reset the thermostat using a pointed object (e.g. paperclip).
• Release the Button.

Temperature Control Type 
The TH104 is factory-set to use the proportional temperature control type (15-second cycles). Since this temperature control type uses a fast commutation rate, it is not compatible with fan-equipped systems. Also, it can also cause light flickering, especially in rural regions.
If you have a fan-equipped system, use the conventional temperature control type (15-minute cycles). To change the type:

• Press and maintain , do not release.
• Reset the thermostat using a pointed object (e.g. paperclip).
• Release the button.
  Following the change, the FAN indicator is displayed on the screen. To revert to proportional control, repeat above steps.

Adjust The Time And Day

NOTE: You should select the options before you adjust the clock and day settings because using the reset button when selecting options will reset the clock.
The TIME icon flashes to indicate that the clock needs to be adjusted.

1. Press to set the day.
2. Use the and buttons to set the clock.
3. Press to exit.

Operating Modes

The TH104 has three operating modes:

AUTOMATIC
This mode automatically runs your programs.
Press MODE until AUTO is outlined. The current program number is displayed above the AUTO icon. To temporarily bypass the current program, simply select the desired temperature using the temperature adjustment buttons. The new setpoint will be maintained until the beginning of the next program.

MANUAL
Maintains a constant temperature setpoint.
Press MODE until MAN is outlined and select the desired temperature using the temperature adjustment buttons.

ECONO
This mode automatically runs the programs of the Econo schedule.
Press MODE until ECONO is outlined.
The current program number is displayed above the ECONO icon.

Automatic Schedule

The TH104 schedule offers 4 programs per day for the weekdays and 4 programs per day for the weekend. There are no preset programs. The schedule maintains the setpoint associated to a program until the beginning of the next one.
For maximum energy savings, the following schedule is recommended:

Programs		Time	Setpoint
Monday to Friday (same programs for all days of the week)
1	Morning	6:00	21°C
2	Day	8:00	17°C
3	Evening	17:00	21°C
4	Night	23:00	17°C
Saturday and Sunday (same programs for the weekend)
1	Morning	6:00	21°C
2	Day	8:00	17°C
3	Evening	17:00	21°C
4	Night	23:00	17°C

To Program this schedule
Before you start programming your thermostat, press MODE until AUTO is selected (outlined).

1. Press . The program number is displayed. Weekdays are displayed (MOTUWETHFR).
2. Use HOUR and MINUTE to set the time. To skip a program (inactive –:–), do not set the time.
3. Use the temperature adjustment buttons to define the setpoint.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for remaining programs.
   For the weekend programs:
5. Press . The program number is displayed (1). Weekend days are also displayed (SU and SA).
6. Repeat steps 2 to 4.
7. Press to exit programming mode.

Econo Schedule

Ideal for cottages, chalets or weekend residences, this schedule enables the user to enter 2 settings.
The first setting lets the user enter a time (i.e. shortly before expected arrival) at which the thermostat commands the heating system to warm to comfort setpoint. The second setting commands a temperature decrease.

Programs		Day	Time	Setpoint
1	Arrival (start heating)	Friday	3:00 p.m.	21°C
2	End of heating period	Friday	8:00 p.m.	15°C

Using the Econo Mode
At your arrival, switch to Automatic mode. The thermostat will run your programs of the automatic schedule, keeping a comfortable temperature during the day and decrease the temperature during the night.
When you leave, switch to Econo mode. The thermostat will auto-matically maintain the setpoint of the last program (e.g. 2) until the beginning of the next program.

Programming the Econo Mode
Before you start programming your thermostat, press MODE until ECONO is selected (outlined).

1. Press. The program number is displayed (1).
2. Pressto select the expected arrival day.
3. Use and to set the time.
4. Use the temperature adjustment buttons to define the setpoint.
5. Press to select the next program (2).
6. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to select the day, time and setpoint.
7. Press to exit programming mode.

About Temperature Control

The TH104 works differently than conventional electromechanical thermostats which can have a temperature differential up to 4°C and 5°C. The TH104 has a temperature differential of ± 0.15°C from the setpoint. This slight oscillation eliminates the discomfort often found with conventional electromechanic thermostats.
For each cycle, the proportional controller determines the “On” operating time required by the heating system to maintain the set-point temperature. The following table displays the percentage of the “On” operating time for the heating cycle:

1 to 25%	26 to 50%	51 to 75%	76 to 100%

If you are using the conventional control (fan-forced heater), the screen will show the FAN indicator as well as all flame icons ( ) when the system is activated. In this case, the thermostat differen-tial is ± 0.5°C from the setpoint.
NOTE: The temperature display resolution is 1°C, but the temperature is internally controlled at 0.01°C.
