sequence for two-pipe fan coil applications.
Features •Manual, three-speed fan switch
•Dual setpoint temperature scale
•Fan release function
•Two-point control algorithm (On/Off)
•24 to 120 Vac, 277 Vac operating voltage
•Manual changeover switch
•Two mounting styles: electrical wall box or drywall
•Wall plate adapter (ARG70) included with electrical wall box mount styles
Application Typically used in commercial, high-rise and light industrial buildings in conjunction with:
•Zone valves
•Thermal valves
•Fans
Product Numbers See Table 1.
Technical Design The RAB10... fan coil room thermostat is based on a two-wire, gas diaphragm
technology.
Operation
Heating Mode
When the heating mode is manually selected, and the room temperature falls below the
selected setpoint, the heating contact is closed.
Cooling Mode When the cooling mode is manually selected, and the room temperature rises over the
selected setpoint, the cooling contact is closed.

Operation,
Continued
Fan Speed
The fan control speed can be controlled two ways:
•Manually, using the three-speed fan switch on the thermostat cover for continuous
operation. (Low), (Medium), (High).
•Automatically, by switching to the selected fan speed using the thermostat for
controlled operation. Prior to commissioning, the jumper position corresponding to
the thermostat function must be selected.
Fan Release Setting There are two jumper position choices on the printed circuit board:
−Jumper SR1 Selected fan speed as continuous operation
−Jumper SR2 Auto Fan is switched at the same time as the valve
Ventilation When the ventilation function is selected (RAB10.1..), the heating and cooling contacts
are always open and the fan works at the selected speed.
Changeover The control algorithm can be selected with a switch located on the front of the controller
(change over switch).
Adjustments The required temperature can be selected by a rotating setpoint adjuster at the front of
the thermostat.
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. See Figure 2.
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.

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.
Figure 2. Setpoint Limit Stops.
13. Place all thermostat switches in the “down” position to allow cover switch sliders to
fit over the switches.
14. Insert the top of the thermostat cover into the slots located on the top of the
thermostat and press down.
