) Connect the thermostat

INSTALLATION

Connect the rear wires to the power and load using solderless con-

nectors for copper wires.

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 sys-

tems, etc.

WIRES

It is not compatible with a low voltage controller used by a cen-

tral 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-

tected 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 con-

cealed chimneys or stove pipes.

4 WIRES

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.

Temperature control type

) Complete the installation

The TH104 is factory-set to use the proportional temperature con-

trol type (15-second cycles).

Once the thermostat is configured and installed, return power to

heating system.

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.

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

If you have a fan-equipped system, use the conventional tempera-

ture control type (15-minute cycles). To change the type:

NOTE: You should select the options before you adjust the clock

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.

ECONO SCHEDULE

This mode automatically runs the programs of the

Econo schedule.

Ideal for cottages, chalets or weekend residences, this schedule

enables the user to enter 2 settings.

Press MODE until ECONO is outlined.

The current program number is displayed above the

ECONO icon.

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.

WARRANTY

ABOUT TEMPERATURE CONTROL

AUBE TECHNOLOGIES INC. ONE (1) YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

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.

This product is guaranteed against workmanship defects for a one

year period following the initial date of purchase. During this period,

AUBE Technologies Inc. will repair or replace, at our option and

without charge, any defective product which has been used under

normal conditions. The warranty does not cover delivery costs and

does not apply to products poorly installed or randomly damaged

following installation. This warranty cancels and replaces any other

manufacturer's express or implied warranty as well as any other

company commitment. AUBE Technologies Inc. cannot be held lia-

ble for related or random damages following the installation of this

product. The defective product as well as the purchase invoice must

be returned to the place of purchase or mailed, prepaid and insured,

to the following address:

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:

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.
