electrician or heating professional for proper installation of the
Sensaphone remote control facility. Electric baseboard heaters
may utilize either a low voltage (2-wire) thermostat or a direct
control high voltage thermostat. Only the low voltage thermostat
may be directly connected to the Sensaphone.
8 .3 .1 Single Thermostat Control
There are two installation methods that can be used to remotely
change the thermostat setting in your cottage or cabin; the
single thermostat method and the dual thermostat method (see
section 8.3.2 for details on the dual thermostat method). The
single thermostat method requires you to install a model with an
input to switch between two temperature settings. Sensaphone
offers a 7-day programmable thermostat and power supply which
has this feature (order part #’s FGD-0064 & XFR-0024). This
thermostat has been carefully chosen to work with the model 800
to allow remote control between normal or vacation mode. You
will need to replace your current thermostat, so if you are unsure
about performing this work yourself, please contact a licensed
heating/cooling professional for installation assistance. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for installing the thermostat.
The Model 800 will need to be wired to the thermostat to control
it. For a visually appealing installation you may want to locate
the Sensaphone close to your heater so that the cable follows the
same path as the one from your heater to the thermostat. An added
benefit of this location is that you can easily add a water sensor to
monitor for leaks around your hot water heater or other plumbing.
Typically the water heater is located near the heating and cooling
system.
Step 1: Install the thermostat.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for installation. For
installation assistance, contact Aube Technologies at 1-800-831-
AUBE.
Step 2: Mount the Sensaphone 800.
Choose a location for your Sensaphone that allows for easy wiring
to the thermostat, such as near your heater/air conditioning system.
Mount the unit on a wall or flat on a desktop or table surface. Plug
in the power supply and connect the telephone line.
