The RET B is a battery powered room thermostat
that combines the benefits of a conventional
analogue setting knob and an LCD display to
show temperature and thermostat status.
Styled on the RMT and RET thermostat
range, the RET B provides accurate electronic
temperature control without the need for an
external power supply. This makes it an ideal
solution for system upgrades when replacing
conventional electro-mechanical two-wire
thermostats.
The RET B utilizes a micro-processor which, in
addition to providing accurate temperature
control, also drives a small LCD display. During
normal operation, this LCD displays actual room
temperature and changes momentarily to show
set temperature whenever the setting dial is
moved. The LCD is also used to display output
relay state and to indicate when the batteries
require changing.
The micro-processor also provides other
added features not normally found in such
thermostats. These features include:
Selection of either on/off or chrono-
•
proportional control
Cycle rate adjustment if chrono-
•
proportional control is selected
Selection of heating or cooling control
•
Selection of compressor delay timer if
•
cooling operation is selected
Selection of Fahrenheit or Centigrade
•
