Braeburn BRAE-2020 Programmable Thermostat 1H 1C

Product Description

The Braeburn BRAE-2020 is a programmable thermostat from the Economy Series, designed to control single-stage heating and cooling systems in residential and light commercial applications. It operates on 18 to 30 VAC or 3 VDC and supports 1 Heat/1 Cool staging. The thermostat accepts both hardwired and battery power sources, using two AA alkaline batteries as a backup or primary supply. A 3 square-inch universal blue display provides clear readout of setpoints and current conditions. Temperature accuracy is rated at plus or minus 1 degree F, with adjustable differential settings of 0.5, 1, or 2 degrees F. Licensed HVAC technicians and qualified installers are the intended service professionals for this device.

The BRAE-2020 suits residential forced-air systems running conventional heat and cool configurations. It supports 7-day or 5-2 day programming schedules, allowing flexibility for weekday and weekend setback routines. The operating temperature range spans 45 to 90 degrees F for setpoints, with a storage rating of 14 to 140 degrees F. Humidity tolerance runs from 5 to 95 percent RH. Terminal designations include RH, RC, Y1, G, W1, O, B, and C, making it compatible with a range of low-voltage wiring configurations including heat pump systems with O/B reversing valve outputs.
