Connect the temperature sensor  
wire to the two lower screws of the  
terminal block at the back of the  
thermostat (no polarity needs to  
be respected). The wire must pass  
outside the electrical box and  
follow the wall down to the floor.  
The sensing probe should be  
placed in a representative heat  
area for maximum system perfo-  
mance. The sensing probe should  
be centered between the wires in  
the mat. The temperature sensor  
wire cannot cross any heater  
wires and the sensing probe must  
not be directly or adjacent to a

Other information might show up on the display if  
installation is defective or does not comply with  
the instructions. The warning light (GFI) must be

thermostat is ON and power to the load is  
cut-off. If these events do not occur, check  
the installation. Press on RESET button to  
reset the GFCI.  
If the GFCI test fails:  
Check the load wires. The thermostat  
must be in heating mode to carry out the  
test (heating indicator ON).  
The GFCI test should be carried out  
monthly. If the test fails, cut off the electric  
power to the heating system and call  
customer service or return the thermostat  
to your supplier for verification. If the  
warning light comes on during normal  
operation, cut off power to the heating  
system and have an electrician verify the  
installation.  
INSTALLATION  
This thermostat is designed to control floor electric heating systems. The  
resistive load must not exceed 4000 watts (NI) @ 240 VAC (16.7 A). The  
thermostat is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and therefore  
the isolation of the line and load are required for operation. During a ground fault,  
the two lines of the load will be cut off from the 240 V line. Connect thermostat as  
shown on diagram.  
OPERATING MODES  
The TH111GFCI-P has two (2) operating modes.  
Electricians or experienced technicians should install the thermostat.  
This thermostat is designed to be used with a circuit breaker.  
MANUAL (
