Installation & Wiring

1.1 Guidelines

Turn off power to the heating system at the main power panel to
avoid electrical shock. The installation must be performed by an
electrician.

 High voltage thermostats must be installed onto an electrical

box.

 For a new installation, choose a location about 1.5 metres above

the floor.

 The thermostat must be installed facing the heating system.
 The thermostat must be installed on an inside wall.
 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.

The TH136 is equipped with a remote input which allows connection of a
telephone controller (optional CT240) or a home automation system.
When a signal is received thro ugh this i nput , t he TH13 6 wi ll a ut omat icall y
switch from normal operating mode to Frost Protect ion mode, or vice
versa.

NOTE: For details on operating the telephone controller, see Operating

Modes.

Remote Input Wiring

2.1 Connection to the CT240

Connect CT240 terminals A and C to
TH136 terminals X and C respectively.
You must respect the polarity.

2.2 Connection to a home
automation system

Connect the TH136 to the home
automation system as displayed in the
wiring diagram.

When you first install the batteries, the unit runs a
sequence of tests which lasts approximately 5 seconds.
After the tests, the screen should display the current
temperature.

NOTE: We recommend replacing the batteries at least

once a year.

The TH136 will display an icon indicating that the
batteries must be replaced. This icon will be displayed
for 60 days; after this delay, the TH136 will shut down
the heating unit. Once batteries have been replaced,
you will have to reprogram the clock & day settings; all
other programming is stored in a protected memory.

On/Off Button

The thermostat is equipped with an On/Off button
making it possible to put the thermostat in sleep mode
when its use is not required (e.g. summer). This will not
affect the clock or programming.

For greater flexibility, you can define the cycle that best suits your
requirements. The shorter the cycles, the greater your comfort.
However, your system will be activated more often when using
shorter cycles.
