Thermostatic Sensors Type RAE
Application
RAE 5054/5154 RAE 5056
RAE is a self-actuating proportional controller
with a small P-band.
The series includes:
• RAE 5054 with built-in temperature sensor.
• RAE 5056 with remote sensor.
• RAE 5154 with built-in sensor and positive
shut-o feature
RAE Radiator thermostats are designed for use in
2-pipe domestic heating systems.
RAE sensors incorporate a frost protection
setting and max/min limitation of the temperature setpoint.
RAE sensors are equipped with a snap-lock
mechanism which ensures quick, rm and long
lasting mounting of the sensor to the valve body,
without the use of tools.
RAE 5056 is equipped with 2 m of ultra-thin
capillary tube, which is coiled up within the
remote sensor housing. After sensor mounting
capillary tube is pulled out to the required length.
The RAE construction is particularly robust, with
both End-Stop strength limits and sensor bending
force limits being substantially above the
requirements of the European Standard EN 215.
Approved to EN 215
Data and Ordering
Thermostatic sensors RAE are manufactured
to the highest standards, and are approved
to the European standard EN 215.

The remote sensor is delivered with all of the capillary tube coiled up within the sensor. When mounting the sensor,
only the capillary tube required is uncoiled.

The RAE thermostatic sensor operates with a
liquid lled bellows system, which is actuated by
ambient temperature changes.
The calibrated pressure in the bellows corresponds to the temperature. This pressure is balanced by the force of a regulating spring.
On a rise in ambient temperature, the pressure
increases in the bellows, moving the valve cone
towards the “closed” position, until equilibrium
exists between the bellows and spring.
On a drop inambient temperature, the pressure
falls, allowing the bellows to contract and the
valve cone to move towards the “open” position
until a state of equilibrium is re-established.

Locking and limitation of the temperature
setpoint of RAE sensors are carried out using the
limiter tabs as shown below.

Example: Limiting max. setting to 4.
• Turn sensor left to max.
• Press and hold the right tab with a screwdriver
while turning handle to 4.
• Remove the screwdriver.

Setting the Temperature
Mounting
The required room temperature is set by turning
the setting dial. The temperature scales show the
correlation between scale values and the room
temperature. The temperature values stated are
for guidance only as the obtained room temperature will often be inuenced by installation
conditions.
The temperature scales are stated according to
European standards at Xp = 2°C. This means that
The Danfoss snap-on coupling is easy to mount and
requires no use of tools, once the valve cover has been
removed. Just place the sensor on the valve and press
rmly.
When the sensor is in place, the snap-on mechanism is
activated and the sensor is mounted correctly.
Tighten the coupling by turning the snap-on ring
clockwise.
the radiator thermostats close at a sensor
temperature which is 2°C higher than stated on
the temperature scales.

Theft Protection
The sensor is removed by turning the snap-on ring
counter-clockwise.
Before remounting he snap-on mechanism must be
activated manually by turning the snap-on ring counterclockwise.
Note!
Mounting instructions are found on the sensor package.
After mounting the RAE sensor, insert an anti-theft plug
and press.
Removing an anti-theft plug:
Tightening the snap-on coupling
Removing the sensor
1. Screw the locking pin tool in the plug.
2. Pull the plug out.
3. Unscrew the locking pin tool.
