To control the ambient temperature using the internal
sensor. The AC146-410 temperature sensor is used for
automatic changeover. See section 5.5.1.
To use the outdoor air for cooling whenever possible.
The AC146-410 temperature sensor is used to measure
the outdoor air temperature. The internal temperature
sensor measures the room temperature which is then
compared with the setpoint. If the room temperature is
lower than the setpoint, the air intake damper remains
closed. If the room temperature is higher than the
setpoint, the latter is then compared with the outdoor
temperature. If the fresh air temperature is lower than
the setpoint by more than 3°C (5.4°F), the damper
opens to allow cool air in.

4.3.2 Minimum Opening
The minimum damper opening can be set between 0 and 50 %.
Note: It is not recommended to set the minimum damper opening to
0 % (fully closed) when a duct heater is connected to Output 2 or 3.
4.3.3 Opening time (1F and 1F2T models only)
The damper opening time can be set between 80 and 160 seconds.
4.4 Output 2 (models TH150-1A2T and TH150-1F2T)
Output 2 controls heating only, regardless of the thermostat’s mode.
When the thermostat is in heat mode, Output 2 is activated as soon
as Output 1 reaches its full capacity. When the thermostat is in cool
mode, Output 2 is activated when the measured temperature drops
below the setpoint.
4.3 Output 1
Output 1 is used to control a damper. It controls heating when the
thermostat is in heat mode or cooling when the thermostat is in cool
mode.
Set the following configuration parameters:
• Default mode
• Output type (1A and 1A2T models only)
• Minimum opening
• Opening time (1F and 1F2T models only)
4.3.1 Default Mode / Output Type
The default mode (heat/cool) is used for the following:
• The default mode is the thermostat’s mode at power-up.
• The default mode is the active mode when the N.O. changeover
contact is open (see section 5.5.2).
• When configured as a contact (see section 4.5), Output 3 controls
either heating or cooling depending on whether the default mode
is set to heat or cool respectively.
The following table shows the output types for Output 2 and their
corresponding settings in the configuration menu.

4.7 DIP Switches
Three switches at the back of the control module are used to select
various options.
Temperature Display (SW1)
Selects the desired temperature display (°C or °F).
Access Mode (SW2)
Selects the operation mode (NORM) or the configuration mode
(MENU).
• Place the switch to MENU to access the configuration menu.
• Place the switch to NORM for normal display.
Output 2 Type (SW6)
Sets Output 2 type (Analog or Triac).
WARNING: Place the switch according to the type of device (Analog or Triac) connected to Output 2. Failure to do so can result in
thermostat damage.
5. Operation
5.1 Power-Up
Upon power-up, the thermostat undergoes a series of test before
displaying the actual temperature.
Note: On the TH150-1F and TH150-1F2T models, at power-up, the
message OPEN appears at the top of the screen during the calibration of the damper opening. This can last up to 3 minutes.
When setting 5 is selected, Output 3 controls heating or cooling
depending on whether the default mode has been set to heat or
cool respectively (see section 4.3.1). For example, if the default
mode has been set to heat mode, the contact remains opened when
the thermostat is in cool mode. When the thermostat is in heat
mode, the contact closes when Output 1 reaches a percentage of its
capacity, set via the configuration menu.
4.6 Minimum and Maximum Setpoints
The minimum and maximum setpoints are factory-set at 10°C
(50°F) and 35°C (95°F). The maximum setpoint can be set between
35°C (95°F) and (minimum setpoint + 1). The minimum setpoint can
be set between 10°C (50°F) and (maximum setpoint - 1).
5.2 Backlight
To turn the backlight on, press any button. The display will illuminate
for 12 seconds.
5.3 Temperature Display and Setting
The thermostat usually displays the actual temperature. To view the
setpoint, press once on one of the buttons. The setpoint
appears for 5 seconds and is indicated by the display. During the
setpoint display, press one of the buttons to change it.
Note: The temperature setpoint is automatically increased or
decreased by 1°C (2°F) when the controller switches to heating
mode or to cooling mode respectively. For example, if the setpoint is
at 25°C (77°F) in heating mode, it will become 26°C (79°F) in cooling mode and will return to 25°C (77°F) when the controller is back
in heating mode.
5.4 Output Display
The bar graph represents the voltage for an analog output or the duty cycle for a triac output. The bar graph
usually shows Output 1 power (% of damper opening).
To view Output 2 or 3, press Override for 2 seconds to
enter the diagnostic mode. Press Override momentarily
to switch between the three output graphs. To exit the
diagnostic mode, press Override for 2 seconds or wait
for 1 minute for the mode to exit automatically.

5.5 Mode Changeover
The thermostat can switch between heat mode and cool mode
either via:
• the automatic changeover
• the changeover input
5.5.1 Automatic changeover
In automatic changeover, the thermostat detects when the system
switches between heat mode and cool mode by comparing the air
supply temperature with the ambient temperature. If the thermostat
is in heat mode, it switches to cool mode when the air supply is
cooler than ambient by 5°C (9°F) or more. If it is in cool mode, it
switches to heat mode when the air supply is warmer than ambient
by 5°C (9°F) or more.
Note: Neither the heat mode icon ( ) nor cool mode icon ( )
appears when TH150 is placed in automatic changeover.
5.5.2 Changeover Input
The thermostat is in the default mode when the contact between terminals 9 and 11 is open and switches mode when the contact is
closed. The default mode is set via the configuration menu .
Note: The changeover contact state is ignored if TH150 is config-
ured in automatic changeover or in limited cooling.
