.3 Remote Input Wiring  
Heating Cycle Selection (switches #1 and #2)  
The TH140 is equipped with a remote input which allows connection  
of a telephone controller (optional Aube CT240), a home automation  
system or any other remote control system. When a signal is  
received through this input, the TH140 will automatically switch from  
normal operating mode to Vacation mode, or vice versa when the sig-  
nal is removed.  
Select the cycle using switches #1 and #2. Short cycles help  
eliminate temperature variations, thus increasing user comfort. Since  
shorter cycles can lead to premature system wear, it is important to  
select the temperature control cycles appropriate to your heating  
system. In general, the bigger your heating unit is, the longer the  
cycles should be.

span is 0.5°C (0.9°F). For example, if the temperature setpoint is  
20°C (68°F), the heating system will turn on at 19.5°C (67.1°F) and  
turn off at 20.5°C (68.9°F).

(0,9°F)  
This mode analyzes previous cycles to define the the next duty cycle.  
This control mode guarantees optimal temperature control based on  
the system’s capacity. To extend the life of the system, a minimum  
On/Off time of 10% of the cycle has been implemented. For example  
with a 15-minute cycle, the system would not start or stop for less  
than 1.5 minutes.

Not recommended for:  
Gas or fuel furnace or boiler with a wall chimney having a 30-sec-  
ond or higher combustion gas purging cycle. To figure out the gas  
purging cycle of your system, count the time between the heating  
command sent by the thermostat and the moment when the  
burner actually goes on.  
Multi-zone systems, where several thermostats command a single  
heating unit.  
Note: In these last two cases, conventional mode with anticipation is
