Use

The RAB21.. room thermostat is used in heating or cooling systems to maintain the
selected room temperature.
Typical use:
• Commercial buildings
• Residential buildings
• Light industrial buildings
In conjunction with
− zone valves and thermal valves
− fans
− aquastats

Functions

Heating If the room temperature falls below the selected setpoint, the heating contact will close.
Cooling If the room temperature exeeds the selected setpoint, the cooling contact will be
closed.
Fan speed There are two possibilities to control the fan speed:
a) Manually by means of the three-speed fan switch on the thermostat for continuous
operation
b) Antomatically by switching to the select fan speed via the thermostat for controlled
operation. In that case – prior to commissioning – the jumper positions correspond-
ing to the functions must be selected. There are three choices of jumper positions
available on printed circuit board:
SR1 Select fan speed as continuous operation
SR2 Auto Fan is switched with the cooling valve
SR3 Auto Fan is switched with the heating valve
Ventilation When the ventilation function is selected (RAB21.1 only) on the front cover of the
slide switch, the heating and cooling contacts are always open and the fan operates at
the selected speed.

Changeover If required, heating or cooling can be selected externally (aquastat).

Technical design

Key features of the RAB21.. fan coil room thermostat:

• Two-position control
• Gas-filled diaphragm

Adjustments

The required temperature can be selected by a setpoint adjuster on the front of thermo-
stat.
The setpoint setting range can be mechanically limited by means of setpoint limiter
under the cover.

Notes

Mounting, installation The thermostat should be located where the air temperature can be sensed as accu-
and commissioning rately as possible, without getting adversely affected by direct solar radiation or other
heat or refrigeration sources.
Mounting height is about 1.5 m above the floor.

The unit can be fitted to most commercially available recessed conduit boxes or directly
on the wall.
Only authorised personnel may open the unit to perform service.
Warning: AC 250 V!
The unit must be isolated from the mains supply before opening.

When installing the unit, fix the base plate, first then hook on the thermostat body and
make the electrical connections. Then fit the cover and secure it (also refer to separate
mounting instructions).
The thermostat must be mounted on a flat wall.
The local electrical regulations must be complied with.
If there are thermostatic radiator valves in the reference room, set them to their fully
open position.
Warning!
No internal line protection for supply lines to external consumers
(Q1, Q2, Q3, Y1, Y2)
Risk of fire and injury due to short-circuits!
• Adapt the line diameters as per local regulations to the rated value of the installed
overcurrent protection device.

Remarks

Heating:
Because of the unavoidable self heating effects of the electrical current, any loads of
more than 3 Amperes connected to the unit can influence the control behavior and
temperature accuracy in a negative way.

Cooling:
Because of the unavoidable self heating effects of the electrical current, any loads of
more than 1 Amperes connected to the unit can influence the control behavior and
temperature accuracy in a negative way.
