Aube Technologies TH111GFCI-NP User manual

MODEL TH111GFCI-NP 120 VAC
SUMMARY
OPTIONS SELECTION
At the back of the thermostat, there is one selection switches to set at
your preferences.
Temperature in °C or °F.
TO SET TEMPERATURE
Press on or once to see setpoint temperature appear on display. Every
subsequent press will change the setpoint temperature by one degree.
TO RECORD THE (COMFORT) SETPOINT TEMPERATURE
Select chosen setpoint temperature by using or button. Press on
button (2 to 3 seconds) until icon appears on display.
TO RECORD THE (ECONOMIC) SETPOINT TEMPERATURE
Select chosen setpoint temperature by using or button. Press on
button (2 to 3 seconds) until icon appears on display .
TO RECORD THE (VACATION) SETPOINT TEMPERATURE
To program the Vacation temperature, select the desired degree using the
buttons and press on the and buttons simultaneously until the
icon is displayed (app. 3 seconds).
CHECKING GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Adjust the setpoint temperature until heating indicator (flames) appears on
display. Press TEST button. The test is conclusive if the warning light (GFCI) on
thermostat is ON and power to the load is cut-off (flames remain on display
though). If these events do not occur, check the installation. Press on RESET but-
ton to reset the GFCI.
INSTALLATION
Parts included:
One (1) TH111GFCI-NP (120 VAC) thermostat
Two (2) 6-32 screws
Four (4) Solderless connectors (for copper wire)
One (1) Temperature sensor with a 15 foot extension
TURN OFF POWER TO THE HEATING SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER
PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. KEEP AIR VENTS OF THE
THERMOSTAT CLEAN AND OBSTRUCTION FREE.
This thermostat should be installed by an electrician or experienced technician.
The thermostat must be used with a circuit breaker or fuse.
This thermostat was designed to control floor electric heating systems. The
resistive load must not exceed 2000 watts @ 120 VAC (16.7 A). The
thermostat is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and
therefore the isolation of the line and load is required for operation. The
polarity of line connection must be respected. During a ground fault, only the
current in the black wire of the load will be cut-off from the 120 V line.
Connect thermostat as shown on diagram.
1) CONNECTING WIRES AND MOUNTING THERMOSTAT
Connect the rear thermostat wires to the power supply and to the load using
solderless connectors for copper wires. See schematic diagram.
Push the excess wire back into the electrical box to prevent interference
withthe thermostat. Secure the thermostat using two (2) 6-32 screws
1 1/4 inches long. Once the thermostat is properly installed, return power
to heating system.
2) CONNECTING TEMPERATURE SENSOR WIRE
Connect the sensor wire to the two lower screws of the terminal block at the
back of the thermostat (no polarity need to be respected). The wire must pass
outside the electrical box and follow the wall down to the floor. The sensing
probe should be placed in a representative heat area for maximum system
perfomance. The sensing probe should be centered between the wires in the
mat. The probe wire cannot cross any heater wires and the temperature sensor
must not be directly or adjacent to a heating wire.

CHOOSING THE TEMPERATURE SCALE IN °C (CELSIUS) OR °F
(FAHRENHEIT) TO APPEAR ON DISPLAY.
Set the temperature switch at the back of the thermostat to °C or °F at your
preferences.

• Recording a setpoint temperature for the (ECONOMIC) setting
Select chosen setpoint temperature by using and buttons. Keep
pressing on the button (2 to 3 seconds) until icon appears on display.
• Recording a setpoint temperature for the (VACATION) setting
To program the Vacation temperature, select the desired degree using the
buttons and press on the and buttons simultaneously until the
icon is displayed (app. 3 seconds).
NOTE: When the temperature setting used is or or , you can still use
the or buttons to change the setpoint temperature without changing the
recorded temperature.
• Recalling stored setpoint temperatures
Once stored, the setpoint temperatures can be recalled simply by selecting the
or button or both and for setpoint.

POWER UP
To power up thermostat:
CHECKING GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
Adjust the setpoint temperature until
heating indicator ( ) appears on
display. Press TEST button. The test is
conclusive if the warning light (GFCI)
on the thermostat is ON and power to
the load is cut-off. If these events do not
occur, check the installation. Press on
RESET button to reset the GFCI.
If the GFCI test fails:
Check the load wires. The thermostat
must be in heating mode to carry out
the test (heating indicator ON).
The GFCI test should be carried out
monthly. If the test fails, cut off
the electric power to the heating
system and call customer service or
return the thermostat to your supplier
for verification. If the warning light
comes on during normal operation, cut
off power to the heating system and
have an electrician verify the installa-
tion.
OPERATION
The thermostat has 4 different buttons to control the floor temperature. The
and buttons increase or decrease the setpoint temperature. The and
buttons are used to store and recall two temperature settings.
• Default values
To erase the recorded setting temperatures ( and ) and replace their va-
lues by the default ones, 28 °C (82 °F) and 18 °C (64 °F) press the but-
ton while pressing and releasing the RESET button. Then release the button.
• Setting a setpoint temperature
Press once the or button to see the setpoint temperature on display. Every
subsequent press will change the setpoint temperature by one degree.
• Recording setpoint temperature for (COMFORT) , (ECONOMIC) and
(VACATION) settings
By recording the setpoint temperatures you will be able to go from the
setting to the or setting by simply pressing the or button or ( and
) for .
• Recording a setpoint temperature for the (COMFORT) setting
Select chosen setpoint temperature by using and buttons. Keep
pressing on the button (2 to 3 seconds) until icon appears on display.

When power is applied for the first time,
the display must show the time 00:00,
the floor temperature and the manual
mode icon ( ). Other information
might show up on the display if installa-
tion is defective or does not comply with
the instructions. The warning light (GFI)
must be off.
The message L0 or HI will appear on
the display if the temperature sensor is
defective or the temperature is below 0
°C (32 °F) or higher than 60 °C (140
°F). Also, the heating indicator will be
present on display and the relay will be
closed (current going in the load).
