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 

• 

scaling
