Aube Technologies Power Base PB1 30-024T - 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.
For a new installation, choose a location about 5 ft. (1.5 m)
above the floor.
The thermostat should be installed 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.

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).

Installation Steps
n
Connect 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.
o
For a floor heating installation, connect the
floor sensor between the S and R terminals.
p
Push the excess wire into the wall and secure the
base using the provided screws and wall anchors.
q
Before 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.
r
Once the control module is configured (switches) and installed,
return power to the heating system.
