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  
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  
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.  
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A LOW VOLTAGE CONTROLLER USED BY A  
CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM.  
Electricians or experienced technicians should install the thermostat.  
Note 1:  
Note 2:  
All cables and connections must conform to the local  
electrical code.  
This thermostat is designed to be used with a self -protected heating system  
equiped with a circuit breaker.  
In normal use, the thermostat's housing temperature can  
reach 35 to 45 °C.  
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.  
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.  
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

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.

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.  
Secure the wallplate to the electrical box using 6-32, 1/2" screws. See above

OPERATION  
CHARACTERISTICS

4 °C while the electronic thermostat has a  
variation of only 0.3°C. This slight oscillation eliminates the  
discomfort of temperature variation often found with conventional  
electro-mechanic thermostat.  
They are selected through the MODE button. On display, the active  
mode is framed. The frame moves on to the next mode each time  
the MODE button is pressed.  
The proportional controller determines the amount of power required  
by the electric heating system to maintain the exact ambient  
temperature of the temperature setting.  
NOTES :  
When scrolling from the operation mode OFF to an active mode, the  
thermostat will take 5 to 10 seconds to display the room temperature.  
The display shows, in real  
time, the applied power to the  
electric heating system.  
In normal use, the thermostat housing temperature can reach 35 °C to  
4
5 °C.  
If you have set the switch #1  
at position «ON » to control  
a fan equipped system, the  
display will show 100 % when  
the heating system is turning  
on and 0 % when it is OFF. In  
that case, the temperature  
regulation is +/ - 0.5°C around  
the set point.
