INSTALLATION

NOTE: The "Problems and Solutions" section located at the end of this document will help you to correct the problems you might have during the installation.

This thermostat has been designed to operate with any installation which has a RESISTIVE load not exceeding 4000W (16.7 A) @ 240 VAC or 2000W @ 120VAC as electric baseboards, radiant ceilings and  floors, electric convectors, etc.  It is not compatible with a low voltage controller used by a central heating  system or systems using a contactor or a relay whose current is under 1.0A.

Electricians or experienced technicians should install the thermostat.  This thermostat is designed to be used with a self-protected heating system equipped with linear limit control and circuit breaker.

PARTS INCLUDED:

One  (1) TSSHC-3DP-2/3/4/7 thermostat
Two (2)  6-32 screws.
Two (2) solderless connectors

 TURN OFF POWER OF THE HEATING SYSTEM AT MAIN POWER PANEL TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK. Keep air vents of thermostat clean and free from obstructions.

CONNECTING WIRES AND MOUNTING THERMOSTAT

Make the appropriate connections. Please note that the thermostat wires are not polarized, therefore the connections can be made on either terminal.

Set the 4 switches located at the back of the thermostat to your preferences.

1: Cycles of 15 min. (fan) or 20 sec.

2: Early Start

3: Time display in 12 or 24 hours

4: Temperature display in °C or °F

NOTE 1: This thermostat has been factory set to proportionally control electric baseboards radiant systems and convectors. Since proportional control uses a fast commutation rate, it is not compatible with fan equipped systems (see characteristics). Also, this control mode could occasionally create light flickering, especially in rural area.

By switching to the 15 minute cycle mode, the thermostat will be compatible with fan equipped systems.

NOTE 2. The thermostat is providing a built‑in function enabling it to calculate the optimum time to start the heating system to achieve the desired temperature setting at the programmed time. To enable this function, set the switch E.S. to "ON" at the back of the thermostat.

Replace the front part of the thermostat on the base and secure them in place with the screw.

NOTE: All cables and connections must conform to the local electrical code.

WARNING: Special CO/ALR solderless connectors must be used when connecting with aluminium conductors.

Power‑up

 When power is applied for the first time, the dis­play must show the time 0:00, the ambient tem­perature and the Manual mode icon

 (            ).  Other information might show up on the display if installation is defective or does not comply with the instructions.

500 watts or less Installation

During the 30 minute period following the instal­lation or a long power failure (more than 2 hours), the light intensity of the display decreases when a button is pressed on while the thermostat is in the heat mode. This problem will disappear when the accumulator for the memory backup will be charged.

OPERATING MODES

The TSSHC-3DP-2/3/4/7 has two (2) operating modes:

MANual (       )

This mode allows you to maintain a constant ambient temperature.

1 ‑ To activate this mode, press on Mode button to display the          icon.

2‑ Set the desired temperature using the                             buttons or select the preprogrammed                        settings.

(To select the   setting, press on           and         simultaneously.)

AUTOmatic (          )

This mode executes your own programming.

To activate this mode, press on Mode button to display the            icon. The         or        icon indicates which temperature setting is used.

TELEPHONE CONTROLLER

The TSSHC-3DP-2/4/7 incorporates a telephone controller interface which allows you to switch from the normal operating mode to the Vacation setting (         ), and vice versa, using the telephone keypad (stationary or portable). You can, for example, heat your country house from your office on Friday, or your house from the airport or from your car on your way back from vacation. When the telephone controller sends a signal, the              icon appears on the screen.

Connection to the CT240

The TH1 06 is designed to connect directly to the CT240 telephone controller. This combination allows the activation and deactivation of the Vacation mode from the CT240 or the telephone.

Connect the CT240's terminals A and C to the TH1 06's terminals X and C respectively. You must respect the polarity. The signal given by the CT240 is a low voltage signal and must not circulate in the electrical box. The wire must run on the exterior side of the electrical box to join the thermostat.

Use a 18 to 22 gauge flexible wire and pass it behind the thermostat through the slot located in front of the connector.

For details on operating the telephone controller, refer to the CT240's Instruction Manual.

Schedule programming

 The TSSHC-3DP-2/3/4/7 allows 4 setting changes for each day of the week. There are no pre‑set programs. The programs are tailored to perfectly adapt to your life style. The principle is very simple. For each day, enter the time at which you awake (P1), the time you leave for work (P2), the time you arrive back home (P3) and the time you go to bed (P4).

For savings to be obtained, you must lower the temperature for a period of 2 to 3 times the delay required to bring the temperature back to your comfort level.

Example: If your system takes one hour to go from your saving temperature level to your comfort temperature level, it is useless to lower the temperature for a period less than 2 to 3 hours.

TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT TEMPERATURE BYPASS

This operation allows you to temporarily modify the temperature while you are in the Automatic mode. Simply press on              or             button to select the desired temperature, or  the             or             button to select the

Comfort or Econo setting you have programmed. This temperature will be maintained until the beginning of  the next program.

You can also switch to the Vacation setting for a prolonged absence by pressing on          and          buttons at the same time. The display will show

icon.  In that case, the temperature bypass is permanent.  To return to the normal operating mode, press on Mode button.

If you wish to return immediately to the programmed settings, press on Mode button twice.

MEMORY BACKUP

In the event of a power failure, an internal circuit will maintain the programming. Only the time will

have to be set if the power failure is more than two hours. The thermostat will return to the same

operating mode as set before the power failure.

CHARACTERISTICS

This thermostat works differently than the conventional electromechanic one. The letter can have a

differential of temperature up to 4 °C (7.2 °F) while this electronic thermostat has one of only

 0.2 °C (0.36 °F). This slight oscillation eliminates the discomfort often found with conventional

electromechanic thermostats.

The proportional controller determines the amount of power required by the electric heating system to

maintain the exact ambient temperature of the temperature setting.

To see this process, the display shows, in real time, the percentage of power applied to the electric

heating system.
