Question:
What is ADB on the air conditioner?
asked by: Ronald B

Hi Ronald,
ADB is an abbreviation for air distribution box, which is the white box that fits into the ceiling under the AC unit.
For non-ducted RVs, the air distribution box (ADB) has the controls built into it. Usually knobs or buttons to manually control the air conditioner.
For ducted RVs, the air distribution box doesn't have controls on it but has a plenum on the back that directs the air into the ducts. The temperature is controlled instead from a wall thermostat or the temperature controlled remote. Furrion has systems with both a wall thermostat and temperature sensing remote like part # FR99TD or just the temperature sensing remote part # FR59TQ).
Are you planning on upgrading to a new air conditioner?
