TH144 400-144-003-C 2008-02-08 1/6
TURN OFF POWER TO THE SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER
PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Installation should be carried out by an electrician or a qualified
technician.
1.1 Find a Location for the Thermostat
• For a new installation, choose a location about 5 ft. (1.5 m) above
the floor and on an inside wall.
• Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air out-
let), dead air spots (behind a door), direct sunlight, concealed
chimneys or pipes, or air diffusers.
1.2 Prepare and Connect the Thermostat

1.3 Connecting the REM input (optional)
To remotely activate the Unoccupied mode, the REM input allows
connection to an optional CT240/CT241 telephone controller, a
central timer or an alarm system.
A closed contact remotely activates the Unoccupied mode (see 4.1).
1.4 Connecting the AC144-02 RTI (optional)
The AC144-02 Remote Temperature Interface (RTI) connects to a
TH144 thermostat for remote indoor or outdoor temperature
readings.
NOTE: If you wish to use the balance point cut-off function to cut the
heat pump compressor when the outdoor temperature drops below
the defined cut-off setpoint (see section 4.4 to define this setpoint),
you must connect a remote temperature interface.
NOTE: Refer to the AC144-02 installation instructions for details on
how to connect the RTI to the thermostat.
1.4.1 Remote Indoor Sensing
The REM icon indicates that the
temperature is controlled from a remote
location using the RTI’s housing sensor or
the connected probe(s).
Temperature averaging can be obtained
using up to 4 probes.
To return to local control, disconnect the
RTI wires at the thermostat terminals and
turn off for at least 5 seconds.
1.4.2 Remote Outdoor Sensing
The OUT icon indicates the outdoor
temperature read from the outdoor probe
connected to the RTI.
On some models (2H1C & 3H2C), the
outdoor temperature is used for the com-
pressor cut-off point.
1.5 First Power On
When you power TH144 for the first time, it
runs a sequence of tests and resets itself,
which lasts approximately 10 seconds. The
default setpoint is 20°C (68°F).
NOTE: The displayed ambient temperature
might be higher than the real ambient tem-
perature if you are holding the thermostat.
For the programmable models, open the thermostat’s door, and set
the time (Hour and Minute) and day (Day).
NOTE: To protect the compressor, TH144 has an On/Off delay of 2
or 4 minutes (default is 2 minutes) before starting or stopping the
system (see the following section).
1.6 Configure the TH144
The TH144 offers many configuration options
using the DIP switches located on the back of
the thermostat. Default settings are inside the
shaded cells.
NOTE: After first power-up, wait at least 5 min-
utes while the internal battery is being charged
before configuring TH144.

I2.1 Select the Control Mode
The mode indicates which system is used for temperature control.
Use the Heat / Cool button to select one of the following modes:
2.2 Predefined Setpoints
Predefined setpoints represent the temperature that you wish to have
during the day, at night or while you are away. The Comfort and
Economy setpoints are used with the Automatic mode (schedule, for
programmable models) while the Unoccupied setpoint can be used
with the Unoccupied mode (activated manually or remotely). This
table displays the default setpoints:
2.2.1 To Modify the Predefined Setpoints
NOTE: If your thermostat controls both HEATING and COOLING, the
predefined setpoints must be configured for both applications.
NOTE: The Cool setpoints cannot be lower than the Comfort Heat
setpoint. If this should happen, the TH144 will automatically set your
Cool setpoint 1°C (1°F) higher than your Comfort Heat setpoint.

To view the current setpoint, briefly press one
of these buttons once. The arrow

3.1 Program Your Schedule
The TH144 allows four setting changes for each day of the week.
There are no pre-set programs.
For each day, enter the time at which you wake up (P1), the time you
leave for work (P2), the time you return home (P3) and the time you
go to bed (P4):
NOTE: For temperature increases (P1 and P3), allow at least 15
minutes per 1°C (2°F). For example, if you have lowered the temper-
ature by 3°C (6°F) during the night and you wake up at 7 a.m., pro-
gram the change for 6:15 a.m.
To reduce energy costs, you must lower the temperature for a period
of 2 to 3 times the delay required to bring the temperature back to
your comfort level.

TH144 400-144-003-C 2008-02-08 5/6
4.1 Remote Unoccupied
When the REM input is connected to a central
system or a telephone controller and a signal is
received through this input, the TH144 will
switch to the unoccupied setpoint.
• The yellow LED on top of the display turns on
when the unoccupied mode is activated
(1H1C/2H2C models only).
• The icon is displayed.
• For details on how to operate your telephone
controller (CT240/CT241), refer to its
manual.
• When this mode is activated remotely it can
only be deactivated remotely. Although, it can be bypassed for a
2-hour period (see 4.2).
4.2 2-hour Temporary Bypass
When the TH144 is in Automatic or Remote Unoccupied mode, you
can temporarily bypass the current setpoint for a 2-hour period after
which it will return to the previous mode.
Automatic (schedule programs)
• Set the desired temperature or quickly press or to use a
predefined setpoint.
Remote Unoccupied
• Set the desired temperature .
On non-programmable models, all buttons are locked except for
the buttons.
On programmable models, all buttons are locked except for the
, Day, Hour and Minute buttons.
• All other buttons or most buttons are locked depending on the
thermostat model.
• The yellow LED on top of the display remains on (1H1C/2H2C
models only), but the icon disappears.
4.3 Fan Modes (Fan button)
The TH144 thermostat is equipped with a fan button offering two fan
settings: On and Automatic.
• When On: ( ) the fan runs continuously.
• The Automatic setting allows the fan to run only during heating or
cooling cycles.
4.4 Balance Point Cut-Off
The 2H1C et 3H2C models require the AC144-02 Remote Tempera-
ture Interface and the outdoor sensor to use this function.
This option allows the user to define the temperature setpoint at
which the heat pump compressor will be cut-off and only the auxiliary
heat will be used when heating is required.
The auxiliary heat is automatically activated on a call for heat when
the outdoor temperature falls below the balance point. The heat
pump compressor will be re-activated only when the outdoor temper-
ature is at least 1°C (1°F) higher than the cut-off setpoint.
The default balance point cut-off is -8°C (17°F).
nPress and hold Heat/Cool until the setpoint is displayed.
oUse the buttons to set the new balance point.
pPress Heat/Cool to exit.
4.5 Automatic Changeover
When the AUTO mode (automatic
changeover) is selected, the thermostat
analyzes the system’s requirements and
automatically alternates between HEAT and
COOL mode to provide occupant comfort.
There are two ways to use the automatic
changeover mode:
4.5.1 Fixed Setpoint ( )
When you set the temperature using the arrow buttons, the
TH144 uses this unique temperature setpoint for temperature control.
The thermostat automatically switches to HEAT mode when the
ambient temperature drops under the temperature setpoint whereas
the COOL mode is activated when the temperature rises above the
temperature setpoint.
In order to switch modes, the ambient temperature must be
maintained over or under the control band for more than 12 minutes.
4.5.2 Predefined Setpoint ( , or )
When a predefined setpoint button is selected, the TH144 uses the
corresponding COOL and HEAT setpoint temperatures for
temperature control.
The thermostat automatically switches to COOL mode when the
ambient temperature rises above the COOL setpoint whereas the
HEAT mode is activated when the ambient temperature drops below
the HEAT setpoint.
In order to switch modes, the ambient temperature must be
maintained over or under the setpoint control band for more than 12
minutes.
