Aube Technologies TH104 Quick start guide

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.
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.
 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.

2) 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 electri-
cal box.
3) Com lete 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.
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.
The TH104 offers the following options:
Highlighted options are factory pre-set. If these options fit your
requirements, go to the next menu.
Tem erature dis lay
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 dis lay
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.
Tem erature control ty e
The TH104 is factory-set to use the proportional temperature con-
trol 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 tempera-
ture 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.
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.
!Press to set the day.
"Use the and buttons to

#Press to exit.
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 tempera-
ture 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 adjust-
ment 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.
The TH104 schedule offers 4 programs per day for the weekdays
and 4 programs per day for the weekend. There are no preset pro-
grams. The schedule maintains the setpoint associated to a pro-
gram until the beginning of the next one.
For maximum energy savings, the following schedule is recom-
mended:
To rogram this schedule
Before you start programming your thermostat, press MODE
until AUTO is selected (outlined).
!Press . The program number is displayed.
Weekdays are displayed (MOTUWETHFR).
"Use HOUR and MINUTE to set the time.
To skip a program (inactive --:--), do not set the time.
#Use the temperature adjustment buttons to define the setpoint.
$Repeat steps 1 to 3 for remaining programs.
For the weekend programs:
%Press . The program number is displayed (1).
Weekend days are also displayed (SU and SA).
&Repeat steps 2 to 4.
'Press to exit programming mode.
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.
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).
!Press . The program number is displayed (1).

Model: TH104
Supply: 120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
Power consumption (off): 860 mW
Load: 14.6 A maximum (resistive only), 2 A minimum
Power: 1750 W @ 120 VCA / 3500 W @ 240 VCA
Temperature display range: 0°C to 99°C (0°F to 99°F)
Temperature setting range: 5°C to 27 °C (40°F to 80°F)
Display resolution: 1°
Storage temperature: -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 120°F)
Accuracy: proportional: ± 0.15°C (0.27°F) from the setpoint
conventional: ± 0.5°C (0.9°F) from the setpoint
Approval: CSA / UL
Dimensions: 120 x 115 x 26 mm (4.8 x 4.5 x 1 inch)
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:
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 tempera-
ture is internally controlled at 0.01°C.
