1.3 Remote Input Wiring

The TH140 is equipped with a remote input which allows connection
of a telephone controller (optional Aube CT240), a home automation
system or any other remote control system. When a signal is
received through this input, the TH140 will automatically switch from
normal operating mode to Vacation mode, or vice versa when the sig-
nal is removed.

1.3.1 Connection to the CT240

Connect CT240 terminals A and C to TH140
terminals X and C. You must respect the
polarity.

For details on operating the telephone control-
ler, refer to the instruction manual.

1.3.2 Connection to a home automation system

Connect the TH140 to the home auto-
mation system as displayed in the wir-
ing diagram.

1.4 Configure the Thermostat

The switches are located on the back of the faceplate. Default set-
tings are highlighted.

1.4.1 Proportional Adaptive Mode (switch #5)

This mode analyzes previous cycles to define the the next duty cycle.
This control mode guarantees optimal temperature control based on
the system’s capacity. To extend the life of the system, a minimum
On/Off time of 10% of the cycle has been implemented. For example
with a 15-minute cycle, the system would not start or stop for less
than 1.5 minutes.

Ideal for:

• Radiant or convection electrical heating system

• Circulator control in a hot water system

• Electrical hot-air furnace

• Conventional gas or fuel hot-air furnace

Not recommended for:

• Gas or fuel furnace or boiler with a wall chimney having a 30-sec-

ond or higher combustion gas purging cycle. To figure out the gas
purging cycle of your system, count the time between the heating
command sent by the thermostat and the moment when the
burner actually goes on.

• Multi-zone systems, where several thermostats command a single

heating unit.

Note:

In these last two cases, conventional mode with anticipation is
recommended.

Heating Cycle Selection (switches #1 and #2)

Select the cycle using switches #1 and #2. Short cycles help
eliminate temperature variations, thus increasing user comfort. Since
shorter cycles can lead to premature system wear, it is important to
select the temperature control cycles appropriate to your heating
system. In general, the bigger your heating unit is, the longer the
cycles should be.

1.4.2 Conventional mode with anticipation (switch #5)

This mode is compatible with all heating systems.

Programmable Span Selection (switches #1 and #2)

Select the span using switches #1 and #2. The default temperature
span is 0.5°C (0.9°F). For example, if the temperature setpoint is
20°C (68°F), the heating system will turn on at 19.5°C (67.1°F) and
turn off at 20.5°C (68.9°F).
