About your thermostat

The TH115 programmable thermostat has three temperature control modes:

A mode: 4    controls the ambient air temperature

F mode: 4    controls the floor temperature using an external temperature sensor

AF mode: 4   controls the ambient air temperature 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

• One (1) thermostat
• Two (2) mounting screws
• Four (4) solderless connectors for copper wires

Connecting the floor sensor / remote control

1.  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
• 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
• Do NOT staple the sensor head (the plastic end) to the floor. Doing so might damage the sensor. Any damage might not be noticeable during testing but can become apparent several days later.
• If you wish to connect a remote control device (see page 17), insert the wires (use 18- to 22-gauge flexible wires) through one of the two openings on the wallplate and connect them to terminals 2 and 3 (no polarity

Set the configuration switches

Configuration switches are on the back of the faceplate.

1. Early Start is used in Automatic mode When Early Start is enabled (on), the thermostat determines when to start heating so the Comfort temperature is attained at the beginning of periods 1 and 3. When Early Start is disabled (off), heating starts only at the beginning of periods 1 and 3; thus there is a delay before the Comfort temperature is reached.

See page 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 the thermostat. To select the A Mode, place the switch in the AF position and ensure that the remote temperature sensor is NOT connected to the thermostat

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. For example, a defective floor heating mat can cause a ground fault.

A ground fault protection thermostat does not protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or electrical shocks. For example, you can still receive an electrical shock if you touch bare wires while standing on a non- conducting surface such as a wood floor.

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. The TEST light will turn off.

End of Life

If the TEST light is flashing permanently the device must be replaced

Testing the ground fault protection

To ensure the ground fault protection is always in working order, test it once the thermostat is installed and on a monthly basis thereafter.

Increase the setpoint temperature above the measured temperature in order to activate the heating system.

•  Press the TEST button.
• If the TEST light does NOT turn on, the test has failed. Cut power to the heating system at the main electrical panel, have an electrician verify the installation and, if necessary, replace the
