Thank you for choosing Aube’s TH113-R Regulator.
The TH113-R is specially designed to control a floor heating installation, a baseboard or a convector.
The TH113-R regulator operates like a dimmer switch to

GFCI Test (GA/GB line power base only) Remote Input (line voltage only)
The GFCI monitors the electrical flow for any loss of current; if there is any loss, the thermostat will cut off power to the heating system.
We recommend you test the GFCI immediately after installing the control module, and once a month thereafter to ensure it is operating properly.
To test:
n Press the TEST button:
Successful: TEST warning light is ON and power to heating system is cut off.
Unsuccessful: TEST warning light is OFF. Cut power to heating system from the main power panel and call customer service.
o When successful, reset thermostat (STANDBY/ON)
to power heating system.
NOTE: If the test warning light comes ON during normal
operation, cut power to heating system from the main power panel and have an electrician verify the installation.
When a remote control interface (Aube CT241 or any other remote control system) is connected to the power base’s remote input and a signal is received, the TH113-R module automatically lowers the percentage by 35% based on the dial’s current position.
The LED lights up to indicate the signal’s presence (except for GA and GB models).
ߓ ࠢࠥࠔࠥࠬߓ
The TEST button can be used to bypass the signal for a 2-hour period.
The LED goes off to indicate the bypass.
NOTE: When combined with a GA or GB power base, the
TEST button is used only for GFCI testing. The percentage is decreased, but the bypass function and indicator are not available.
Align the bracket tabs on the regulator with the holes located on the power base.

The TH113-R regulator operates on perpetual 15-minute heating cycles.
For example, if the dial is set halfway, the system will heat for 50% of the cycle; it will be ON for 7.5 minutes and OFF for 7.5 minutes.
Below is a detailed table of the cycle duration based on the dial’s position:
Position and equivalent %I 0%220%440%660%880%10100%
ON 0 min 3 min 6 min 9 min 12 min 15 min
OFF 15 min 12 min 9 min 6 min 3 min 0 min
NOTE: Depending on the power base used, the heating
cycles can be 15 seconds or 15 minutes.

Installation Instructions
24 V Low-Voltage Power Base
n
The PB112-024T-15S power base can b e used on any TH11x series thermostat (with the exception of the TH110 model). This low-voltage power base operates on 15-second cycles and can be connected to a line-voltage load using a solid-state relay. The PB112-024T-15S is compatible with most solid-state relays; however, the following Aube relays are optimized for use with this power base:
RT850 solid-state relay (SSR)
RT850T solid-state relay (SSR) with built-in 24-V transformer
Applications
WARNING
This power base MUST be used ONLY with solid-state relays. The use of electromechanical relays will result in reduced life expect­ancy and in the possibility of overheating of these devices.
