• 

Operating

 

voltage 24 Vac. 

Application 

Typical use: 

• 

Control of the room temperature in individual rooms that are heated or cooled with 
two-pipe fan coil units equipped with electric heat. 

• 

Opening or closing a valve. 

• 

Switching electric heat. 

• 

Switching a three-speed fan. 

Suitable for two-pipe fan coil unit systems with:
