Chapter 8: Controlling the Output

offers a 7-day programmable thermostat and power supply which
has this feature (order part #’s FGD-0064 & XFR-0024). This
thermostat has been carefully chosen to work with the model 400
to allow remote control between normal or vacation mode. You
will need to replace your current thermostat, so if you are unsure
about performing this work yourself, please contact a licensed
heating/cooling professional for installation assistance. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for installing the thermostat.
The Model 400 will need to be wired to the thermostat to control
it. For a visually appealing installation you may want to locate
the Sensaphone close to your heater so that the cable follows the
same path as the one from your heater to the thermostat. An added
benefit of this location is that you can easily add a water sensor to
monitor for leaks around your hot water heater or other plumbing.
Typically the water heater is located near the heating and cooling
system.
Step 1: Install the thermostat.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for installation. For
installation assistance, contact Aube Technologies at 1-800-831-
AUBE.
Step 2: Mount the Sensaphone 400.
Choose a location for your Sensaphone that allows for easy wiring
to the thermostat, such as near your heater/air conditioning system.
Mount the unit on a wall or flat on a desktop or table surface. Plug
in the power supply and connect the telephone line.
Step 3: Connect cable from thermostat to Sensaphone 400.
This Sensaphone 400 has a terminal strip below the input/output
wiring door that will connect to the 12VDC power supply and X
& C terminals of the thermostat (See Figure 1). This connection
is required to switch the thermostat between normal and vacation
modes. Run a two-conductor cable from the thermostat to the
Model 400. On the thermostat, connect the red wire to the X (+)
terminal, and the black wire to the C (-) terminal. On the 400,
connect the red wire to the NO terminal. Connect the black wire
to the negative wire from the power supply. Use a wire nut to
complete this connection. Connect the positive wire from the
power supply to the “C” terminal on the model 400.
