Installation Instructions and User Manual

1 . Introduction

The CT240 telephone controller is designed to remotely control your
home’s thermostat. It is possible to command a temperature
decrease (Unoccup ied) duri ng a prol onged a bsenc e or a tempera ture
increase (Comfort) before you return home.

Depending on your thermostat’s operating characteristics, it either
connects to the Aube output (for most Aube models) or to the auxil­iary output.

When the auxiliary output is not used to control a thermostat, it can
be used to simultaneously control a load such as a water heater,
lighting, etc.
