Aube TH115-A-120S 7-Day Programmable Thermostat Guide
Description
Aube’s TH115 programmable thermostats have three temperature control modes
A mode:
- controls the ambient air temperature
F mode:
- controls the floor temperature using an external temperature sensor
AF mode:
- controls the ambient air temperature
- maintains the floor temperature within desired limits using an external temperature sensor
- Place the switch on Standby to cut power to the heater when not in use (e.g., in the summer). This will not affect the time and temperature settings.
- If your thermostat is installed on a power base equipped with ground fault protection, to reset the ground fault protection, switch the thermostat to Standby and back to On.
- The thermostat displays the percentage of heating time required to maintain the desired temperature. For example,
is displayed when heating is activated 40 percent of the time.
- GFI appears when the ground fault protection has tripped.
Configuration
Some thermostat configurations can be modified via switches on the back of the faceplate (control module). Default (factory) settings are inside the gray cells.
# | Configurations | UP | DN |
1 | Display format | °F / 12 h | °C / 24 h |
2 | Early Start a | Enable | Disable |
3 | Temperature control mode b | F | AF |
- a. Early Start can be used in Automatic mode only. When this function is enabled, the thermostat calculates the optimal time to start heating to obtain the desired temperature by the set time. The thermostat re-assesses the start time daily based on the previous day’s results.
- b. 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 remote 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.
Installation
- Refer to the installation instructions for the power base.
- Insert the tabs at the top of the control module in the slots at the top of the power base.

Setpoint Temperature
The thermostat normally displays the actual (measured) temperature. To view the setpoint, press one of the buttons once. The setpoint will appear for the next 5 seconds. To change the setpoint, press one of the
buttons until the desired temperature is displayed. To scroll faster, press and hold the button.
Preset Temperatures
The thermostat has 3 preset temperatures:
- Comfort temperature
- Economy temperature
- Vacation temperature
To use a preset temperature, press the corresponding button. The corresponding icon will be displayed. The following table shows the intended use and the default setting of each of the preset temperatures.
Icon | Intended use | A/AF modes | F mode |
| Comfort (when at home) | 21 °C (70 °F) | 28 °C (82 °F) |
![]() | Economy (when asleep or away from home) | 17 °C (63 °F) | 20 °C (68 °F) |
![]() | Vacation (during prolonged absence) | 10 °C (50 °F) | 10 °C (50 °F) |
To store a preset temperature:
- Set the desired temperature using the
buttons.
- Press and hold the corresponding button until the corresponding icon is displayed.
Floor Temperature Limits (AF mode only)
NOTE: To avoid damaging your floor, follow your floor supplier’s recommendations regarding floor temperature limits. The minimum and maximum floor temperature limits are 5 °C (41 °F) and 28 °C (82 °F) by default. To modify these limits, proceed as follows:
- Switch the thermostat to Standby.
- Press and hold the
button.
- Switch the thermostat back to On.
- Release the
button when the minimum temperature limit (FL:LO) appears.
- Set the minimum temperature limit using the
buttons.
- Press the button to display the maximum temperature limit (FL:HI).
- Set the maximum temperature limit using the
buttons.
- Press Mode/Ret to exit.
Modes of Operation
The thermostat has 3 modes of operation.
Automatic Mode
The thermostat follows the programmed schedule. To place the thermostat in this mode, press Mode/Ret until is displayed. The data of the current schedule period are also displayed.
Temporary Bypass
If you modify the setpoint temperature (by pressing the button) when the thermostat is in automatic mode, the new temperature will be used until the beginning of the next period.
flashes during the bypass. You can cancel the bypass by pressing Mode/Ret.
Programmed Schedule
The schedule consists of 4 periods per day which represents a typical week day. You can program the thermostat to skip the periods that do not apply to your situation. For example, you can skip periods 2 and 3 for the weekend.
Period | Description | Associated temperature setting |
| Wake-up | |
![]() | Away from home | ![]() |
![]() | Return home | |
![]()
| Sleep | ![]() |
The Comfort ( ) temperature is used in periods 1 and 3 and the Economy (
) temperature is used in periods 2 and 4. For example, when the period changes from 1 to 2, the setpoint automatically changes from Comfort (
) temperature to Economy (
) temperature. You can have a different program for each day of the week; i.e., each period can start at a different time for each day of the week. The thermostat has been programmed with the following schedule.
Period | Setting | MO | TU | WE | TH | FR | SA | SU |
| | 6:00 | 6:00 | 6:00 | 6:00 | 6:00 | 6:00 | 6:00 |
![]() | ![]() | 8:30 | 8:30 | 8:30 | 8:30 | 8:30 | –:– | –:– |
![]() | | 17:00 | 17:00 | 17:00 | 17:00 | 17:00 | –:– | –:– |
![]()
| ![]() | 23:00 | 23:00 | 23:00 | 23:00 | 23:00 | 23:00 | 23:00 |
To modify the schedule:
- Press Pgm to access the programming mode. Period 1 is selected.
- Press Day to select the day to program (hold for 3 seconds to select the entire week).
- Press Hour and Min to set the start time of the selected period, or press Clear if you want to skip the period (–:– is displayed). NOTE: If you intend to use only 2 periods, set periods “1 and 4” or periods “2 and 3”. Early Start will not work if you set periods “1 and 2” or periods “3 and 4”.
- Press Pgm to select another period, or press Day to select another day. Then repeat step 3.
- Press Mode/Ret to exit the programming mode.
NOTE:
If no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the thermostat will automatically exit the programming mode.
Manual Mode
The programmed schedule is not used. The temperature must be set manually. To place the thermostat in this mode:

Parts
- One (1) power base
- Two (2) screws
- Four (4) solderless connectors for copper wires
NOTE:
Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used for connecting aluminum conductors.
Guidelines
Turn off power to the heating system at the main electrical panel to avoid electrical shock. The installation should be carried out by an electrician. NOTE: This power base must be used with a thermostat operating on 15-minute cycles
- High-voltage thermostats must be installed onto an electrical box.
The following guidelines are not necessary for floor heating applications:
- For a new installation, choose a location about 1.5 m (5 ft) above the floor and on an inside wall.
- The thermostat must be installed on an inside wall facing the heating system.
- Avoid locations where there are air drafts (top of staircase, air outlet), dead air spots (behind a door), direct sunlight or concealed chimneys or stove pipes.
Procedure
- Connect the power base wires to the power supply and load using solderless connectors for copper wires (figure 1).
- For floor heating applications, insert the floor sensor wires through one of the two holes below the terminals (figure 2) and connect the wires to terminals 3 and 4 (no polarity). NOTE: The wires must run alongside the terminals and not go over them. The wire must not cross any heating wires nor be placed directly on a heating wire or adjacent to it. For best performance, the sensor probe should be centered between the wires in the mat. WARNING: This power base does not have a built-in ground protection device. Therefore, for floor heating applications, you must install a separate ground protection device at the main electrical panel. Contact your Aube-authorized representative if you need a thermostat with a built-in ground protection device.
- If you wish to use a remote controller such as the CT240 or CT241, insert the cable (use 18 to 22-gauge flexible wires) into one of the two holes available below the terminal board and connect to terminals 1 and 2 of the base (figure 2).
- Push the excess length of the high-voltage wires back into the electrical box.
- Secure the power base to the electrical box using the provided screws.
- If necessary, set the configuration switches on the control module (refer to the control module user guide).
- Install the control module onto the base.
- Apply power to the heating system.
