• Page 3: Owner’s Guide Before you start CAUTION: Read the entire document. Installation must be carried out by a certified electrician and must comply with national and local electrical codes. Use this thermostat for resistive loads only. Do not install the thermostat in an area where it can be exposed to water or rain. To prevent severe shock or electrocution, always turn the power off at the service panel before working with wiring. Install the thermostat onto an electrical box. Use special CO/ALR solderless connectors if you connect the thermostat to aluminum wires. Keep the thermostat's top and bottom air vents clean and unobstructed at all times.
• Page 4: About your thermostat The TH115 programmable thermostat has three temperature control modes: A mode controls the ambient air temperature. F mode controls the floor temperature using an external temperature sensor. AF mode maintains the floor temperature within desired limits using an external temperature sensor. See page 9 on how to change the temperature control mode setting. Supplied parts include one thermostat, two mounting screws, four solderless connectors for copper wires, one floor sensor, and one flat-tip screwdriver.

Test the ground fault protection.
• Page 8: Wiring diagram Connect the wires using the provided solderless connectors for copper wires. Power supply 120 V 240 V
• Page 9: Owner’s Guide Connecting the floor sensor / remote control Insert the floor sensor cable through one of the two openings on the wallplate and connect the sensor wires to terminals 1 and 2 (no polarity). The sensor cable must not come in contact with the electrical wires and must be routed outside the electrical box and follow the wall down to the floor. Position the sensor cable such that it does not come in contact with the floor heating wires. The sensor must be centered between two floor heating wires for best temperature control. Do NOT staple the sensor head (the plastic end) to the floor. Doing so might damage the sensor. If you wish to connect a remote control device, insert the wires through one of the two openings on the wallplate and connect them to terminals 2 and 3 (no polarity).
• Page 10: Set the configuration switches. Configuration switches are on the back of the faceplate. Display format options include °F / 12 h and °C / 24 h. Early Start is used in Automatic mode only. When Early Start is enabled, the thermostat determines when to start heating. When Early Start is disabled, heating starts only at the beginning of periods 1 and 3. To select the F Mode, place the switch in the F position. To select the AF Mode, place the switch in the AF position and ensure that the temperature sensor is connected. To select the A Mode, place the switch in the AF position and ensure that the remote temperature sensor is not connected.

• Page 12: Daylight Saving Time When the Daylight Saving Time function is enabled, the thermostat automatically switches to Daylight Saving Time on the second Sunday of March and to normal time on the first Sunday of November. The Daylight Saving Time function is disabled when the clock loses its setting. To set the Daylight Saving Time function and to set the date, press the Day button until DLS appears on the screen. Press either of the buttons to toggle between On (enabled) and Off (disabled). Press the Day button briefly to display the year setting. Press the Day button briefly to display the month setting. Press the Day button briefly to display the date setting. Press the Mode/Ret button to return the thermostat to normal display. The thermostat will automatically return to normal display if no button is pressed for 60 seconds.
• Page 13: Owner’s Guide Floor temperature limits (AF mode only) To avoid damaging your floor, follow your floor supplier’s recommendations regarding floor temperature limits. The minimum and maximum floor temperature limits are 5.0°C (41°F) and 28.0°C (82°F) by default. To modify these limits, switch the thermostat to Off. Press and hold the button. Switch the thermostat back to On. Set the minimum temperature limit using the buttons. Set the maximum temperature limit using the buttons. The thermostat will automatically return to normal display if no button is pressed for 60 seconds.
• Page 14: Preset temperatures The thermostat has 3 preset temperatures. Their default settings are shown in the following table. Comfort When at home 21.0°C (70°F) Economy Vacation When asleep or away from home 17.0°C (63°F) To use a preset temperature: Briefly press the appropriate preset temperature button. The preset temperature will become the current setpoint and its icon will appear on the screen. To modify a preset temperature: Press one of the buttons to display the desired temperature. Press and hold the appropriate preset temperature button until its icon is displayed.
• Page 15: Owner’s Guide The schedule consists of 4 periods per day, which represents a typical work day. The Comfort preset temperature is automatically used in Periods 1 and 3 and the Economy preset temperature in Periods 2 and 4. You can program the thermostat to skip the periods that do not apply to your situation. You can have a different program every day; each period can start at a different time every day. The thermostat has been programmed with a specific schedule for each day of the week. Comfort and Economy settings are designated for different periods throughout the day. Early Start will not work with any combinations other than “1 and 4” or “2 and 3”. The preset schedule includes wake, leave, return, and sleep settings. The wake setting is set for 6:00 AM on weekdays. The economy setting is applied during the leave and sleep periods.

There are two ways to place the thermostat in Vacation mode. Press the button on the thermostat to activate Vacation mode. From any remote control device equipped with a dry contact, the thermostat can be placed in Vacation mode. When the contact opens, the thermostat returns to the previous mode. When activated from a remote control device, it can only be deactivated using the device.
• Page 19: Owner’s Guide Ground fault protection (GFCI) This ground fault protection thermostat is different from conventional thermostats. In the event of a ground fault, the ground fault protection mechanism on the thermostat will trip and quickly stop the flow of electricity to prevent serious injury. Definition of a ground fault Instead of following its normal safe path, electricity passes through a person’s body to reach the ground. A ground fault protection thermostat does not protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or electrical shocks. Ground fault protection reset When the ground fault protection mechanism trips, the TEST light is On (red). To reset the ground fault protection, switch the thermostat to Off and back to On.
• Page 20: Testing the ground fault protection is essential to ensure it is always in working order. Test the ground fault protection once the thermostat is installed and on a monthly basis thereafter. Increase the setpoint temperature above the measured temperature to activate the heating system. Press the TEST button to initiate the test. If the TEST light does not turn on, the test has failed. If the TEST light turns on, switch the thermostat to Off then back to On. If the TEST light turns off, the test has passed. If the TEST light remains on, the test has failed and further action is required. Switch the circuit breaker of the heating system to off then back to on and repeat the test. If the test fails again, have an electrician verify the installation and replace the thermostat if necessary.
• Page 21: Owner’s guide Error messages The measured temperature is below the display range. Heating is activated. The measured temperature is above the display range. Heating is deactivated. Verify the thermostat connection and sensor connection.
• Page 22: Technical specifications include maximum load for resistive only and ground fault details. The model numbers are TH115-AF-GA and TH115-AF-GB. The supply voltage options are 120 VAC, 60 Hz and 240 VAC, 60 Hz. The maximum power load is 1800 W for 120 VAC and 3600 W for 240 VAC. The ground fault current is specified as 5 mA for TH115-AF-GA and 15 mA for TH115-AF-GB. Wiring configuration requires 4 wires and is double pole. The display range is from 0°C to 70.0°C (32°F to 158°F). The ambient setpoint range in A/AF modes is 5.0°C to 30.0°C (40°F - 86°F). The floor setpoint range in F mode is 5.0°C to 40.0°C (40°F - 104°F). Data protection ensures that most settings are saved during a power failure, but time and Daylight Saving Time must be reset if the outage lasts more than 6 hours.
