Operation The room thermostat is based on a two-wire, gas membrane technology.
When the room temperature falls below the selected setpoint, the thermostat closes the
heating contact. If the room temperature is over the selected setpoint, the cooling
contact is closed.
Adjustments A rotating setpoint adjuster inside the thermostat can select the required temperature.
•RAA10… No adjustments can be made outside the thermostat. The cover must be
removed to adjust setpoint.
•RAA20… High and low setpoint limit stops can be engaged to limit temperature
range.

Mounting Locate the unit where the air temperature can be sensed as accurately as possible. Do
not mount in direct sunlight or near other heat or refrigeration sources.
Mounting height is approximately 60 inches (1.5 m) above the floor.
The unit can be fitted to most commercially available recessed conduit boxes or directly
on the wall.
Figure 1. Recommended Mounting Locations.
(Dimensions in Inches)
WARNING:
1. This unit can be installed by authorized personnel only.
2. The unit must be de-energized and the operating voltage
checked before opening.
•An ARG70 wall plate adapter (provided with electrical wall box mount models) must
be used to mount to a 2 × 4-inch or 4 × 4-inch electrical wall box.
•An ARG70 wall plate adapter must be used to meet UL and cUL requirements.
•The thermostat must be mounted on a flat wall.
•All local electrical regulations must be complied with.
•If there are radiator valves in the room, set them to their fully open position.
Setpoint Limit Stops
Adjustment To set limit stops, remove gray tabs located on the setpoint knob and position high and
low stops around the perimeter of knob as required. Each position on the setpoint dial is
1.8°F.
Installation
Required Tools
•Small, flat-blade screwdriver
•1/4-inch drill bit
•Drill motor
•Small mallet
•Pencil

Drywall Mounting 1. Loosen the two screws at the bottom of thermostat.
2. Lift the bottom of the thermostat cover from the thermostat base and push up to
remove cover.
3. Remove sub-base from back of thermostat.
4. Using the sub-base (packed with thermostat) as a template, mark the hole locations
with a pencil.
5. Drill two 1/4-inch diameter holes for plastic wall anchors (provided).
6. Using a mallet, tap in the plastic wall anchors flush with wall.
7. Pull the wiring through the opening in the upper portion of the sub-base.
8. Level the mounting plate.
9. Using the two wood screws provided, fasten sub-base to wall. Thermostat is not
position sensitive.
10. Pull the wiring through the thermostat housing.
11. Position thermostat housing over the two mounting lugs located at the top of the
sub-base, and press down on cover until bottom lugs snap in place.
12. Terminate wires per wiring instructions on the inside of thermostat cover.
Optional: To set limit stops, remove gray tabs located on the setpoint knob and
position high and low stops around perimeter of knob as required. See Figure 2.
Figure 2. Setpoint Limit Stops.
13. Insert the top of the thermostat cover into the slots located on the top of the
thermostat and press down.
14. Tighten the two screws at the bottom of the thermostat.
The installation is now complete.
