T28 Fan Coil Thermostat
Application Requirements
The T28 thermostats control line voltage fan coil units
and zone valves on heating, cooling, and a
combination of heating and cooling equipment. The
thermostats directly control one or two zone valves.
Thermostats with fan switches require a two-gang
switch box at least 2 1/2 in.-deep, or a 4 in. by 4 in. or
larger junction box with a two-fixture plaster ring. For
example, use Raco No. 230 or Appleton No.4SD1/2
two-gang switch box, plus plaster ring.
Thermostats without fan switches require a 2 in.-deep
single, vertical switch box or a larger box with a
single-fixture plaster ring. For example, use Raco
No. 420 or Appleton No. 111 single switch box.
Note: The boxes and plaster rings are not included
with the thermostat.
Installation
IMPORTANT: The T28 Series Thermostats are
intended to control equipment under normal
operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of
a T28 thermostat could lead to an abnormal
operating condition that could cause personal injury
or damage to the equipment or other property, other
devices (limit or safety controls) or systems (alarm or
supervisory systems) intended to warn of, or protect
against, failure or malfunction of the T28 thermostat
must be incorporated into and maintained as part of
the control system.
Parts Included
•thermostat
•2 No. 6 screws
•2 fiber washers
Note: Plaster rings and switch box are not furnished.
Dimensions
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for detailed dimensions
of the T28 Fan Coil Thermostat.
Mounting
Location Considerations
Mount the thermostat about 4 to 5 ft. (1.2 to 1.5 m)
above the floor on an interior wall, where it can sense
the average room temperature. Do not mount the
thermostat where it may react to heat or cold from
water pipes, windows, doors, lamps, sunlight, or other
heat or cold sources.
On unit heater applications, place the thermostat
below and behind the heater in the path of air entering
the unit—not in the path of discharge air.
To mount the thermostat:
1. Install the switch box and plaster ring (when
required). See Figure 3.
2. Remove the cooling anticipator resistor to prevent
over-anticipation on 208/240 VAC installations.
Carefully clip the left-hand resistor leads with
diagonal cutters. See Figure 3.
3. Refer to Wiring section to make the necessary
connections.
4. Loosen the cover screw at the bottom of the cover,
swing the cover bottom out, and lift up to remove.
5. Fasten the thermostat to the switch box with the
two captive screws in the baseplate.
6. Carefully remove the contact protector (insulation
barrier). See Figure 3. Move the temperature
setting lever from Cool to Warm to be sure the
contact arm is free.
7. Reposition the cover, and tighten the cover screw.
8. Turn on the power supply.
9. Check the thermostat operation. Refer to the
Checkout section.

Wiring
Make wiring connections using wire nuts or other
approved solderless connectors. See wiring diagrams
for proper connections.
!
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock.
Disconnect the electrical power supply before
making the wiring connections to avoid possible
electrical shock or damage to the equipment. On
multiple circuit units, more than one circuit may have
to be disconnected.

Setup and Adjustments
Calibration
If the thermostat has a thermometer in the cover,
recalibrate the thermometer by following the steps
below:
1. Remove the thermostat cover.
2. Place an accurate test thermometer and the cover
side-by-side, allowing both the test thermometer
and the cover thermometer to reach a stable
temperature before adjusting.
3. Carefully turn the hex nut behind the insulator with
a thin wrench until the pointer corresponds to the
temperature indicated by the test thermometer.
Checkout
Before leaving the installation, observe at least three
complete operating cycles to ensure that all
components are functioning correctly. Follow the steps
below:
1. Move the lever toward Warm to raise the
temperature setting to check the heating cycle.
2. Move the lever toward Cool to lower the
temperature setting to check the cooling cycle.
The center of the scale is approximately 75°F
(24°C).
Repairs and Replacement
Field repairs must not be made. For a replacement
thermostat, contact the nearest Johnson Controls
representative.
