Aube Technologies Power Base PB1 30-024T User manual

Installation Guidelines
Cut power to the heating system at the main power panel to
avoid electrical shock. Installation should be carried out by an
electrician.
Ͽ For a new installation, choose a location about 5 ft. (1.5 m)
above the floor.
Ͽ The thermostat should be installed facing the heating system
and on an inside wall.
Ͽ 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.

Introduction
The PB130-024T power base is designed to power a TH13X Series
control module. This low voltage power base can be used to drive a
line voltage load using a relay or connect directly to equipment (such
as a hot water system) using a 24 V signal.
Although the PB130-024T is compatible with most relays, it has been
optimized for use with an Aube relay. Aube offers triac relays (SSR)
such as the RT850 and RT850T (with built-in 24 V transformer), and
electromechanical relays such as the RC840 and RC840T (with built-
in 24 V transformer).
Technical Specifications
Maximum load: 0.5 A / 24 VAC
Operating temperature: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C)
Storage: -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C)
Size(H•W•D): 2.94 x 2.94 x 0.53 in. (74.6 x 74.6 x 13.3 mm)
Wire gauge: 14 to 22 AWG
Installation Steps
nConnect the base. See the typical wiring diagrams.
a) Electric heating (figures 1, 2 and 3)
• Connect the base to the relay:
• Use a relay with a built-in 24 V transformer or
• Use a relay and an external 24 V transformer.
• Connect the relay to the load (see relay’s instructions).
b) Hot water heating (figure 4)
• Connect the base to the 24 V valve of the
water heating system.
oFor a floor heating installation, connect the
floor sensor between the S and R terminals.
pPush the excess wire into the wall and secure the
base using the provided screws and wall anchors.
qBefore mounting the control module onto the base, select the
heating cycle, set the switches (if necessary) and mount the
control module. Refer to the control module’s user guide for
more information.
rOnce the control module is configured (switches) and installed,
return power to the heating system. If you have any questions concerning the PB130-024T low
voltage power base, call our technical support team at:

Thank you for choosing Aube’s TH131-R regulator.
The TH131-R is specially designed to control an electric
floor heating installation, a baseboard or a convector.
The TH131-R regulator operates like a dimmer switch to
allow you to easily adjust the amount of power sent to
your heating system.
This control module can be used with a line voltage power
base (230 V European models) or a low voltage power
base (24 V) combined with an electromechanical or triac
relay.
Located in the lower-right corner of the
control module, this switch is used to
select the heating cycle based on the
power base.

The TH131-R is equipped with an ON/OFF switch making
it possible to turn off the regulator when its use is not
required (e.g. summer).
Align the bracket tabs on the control module with the
holes located on the power base and secure using the
screw.
NOTE: Keep the regulator’s air vents clean and free from
obstructions.
NOTE: The screw cannot be removed completely.

The TH131-R regulator operates on perpetual 15-minute
or 15-second heating cycles.
For example (15-minute cycles), if the
dial is set halfway, the system will
heat for 50% of the cycle; it will be ON
for 7.5 minutes and OFF for 7.5
minutes.
Below is a detailed table of the cycle
duration based on the dial’s position:
NOTE: Depending on the power base used, the heating
cycles can be 15 seconds or 15 minutes.
Model: TH131-R
Setting Range: from 0 to 100%
Storage: -4°F to 120°F (-20°C to 50°C)
Heating cycles: 15-minute or 15-second
