Quick Summary

T6861-2 digital thermostat is used in fan coil unit systems. It controls 3-speed fan motors and on/off water valves. It supports both 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems with cooling and heating modes. Remote setback input and remote sensor improve temperature control and operational flexibility.

This page explains control logic, function meaning, and engineering relevance in FCU systems. It also covers parameter confirmation, installation considerations, and typical application questions. Guidance is included for model selection and project-level configuration decisions.

T6861 digital thermostat Functional Highlights

(This section introduces the main control functions and their engineering value in the specific HVAC system.)

(01) 3-speed fan control
Supports low, medium, and high fan speeds for FCU systems. It helps adjust airflow more precisely, improves room comfort, and saves energy when full capacity is not needed.

(02) 2/4 pipe valve control
Works with both 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems using on/off valves. This makes it easy to use in different HVAC setups and reduces the need for multiple product versions.

(03) Remote setback and sensor input
Supports keycard input and external temperature sensor connection. This allows us to reduce energy use when rooms are not occupied and also helps improve temperature accuracy in different room layouts and installation conditions.

(04) 2-stage cooling control
Two-stage cooling activates the second valve when cooling demand increases. This helps us achieve smoother temperature control, keeps the room more stable during changing loads, and avoids sudden cooling fluctuations in peak conditions.

(05) Timer on/off
Allows us to set automatic on and off schedules based on daily or weekly needs. It makes operation more convenient and helps manage energy use in a smarter and more efficient way, especially in hotel and residential applications.

(06) Flexible installation and screen colour options
Available in vertical or horizontal versions with blue or green screen options. This allows better matching with project design and building style requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can this T6861 digital thermostat work with both 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems?

Yes, it supports both 2-pipe and 4-pipe FCU systems. The wiring and valve outputs are set according to the system type.

Q2: Can I use a remote sensor instead of the built-in sensor?

Yes, this model supports a remote sensor function. It is useful when the thermostat position does not reflect the real room temperature well.

Q3: Does this model support BMS integration such as Modbus or BACnet?

No, this is a standalone digital thermostat. It does not support Modbus, BACnet, WiFi, or app control.

Q4: How does the 2-stage cooling function work?

In cooling-only mode, valve 1 starts first. When the second-stage cooling condition is reached, valve 2 starts after valve 1.

Q5: What is the MOQ, and can I order samples?

Yes, we support samples for testing. The usual MOQ is 300 units, and smaller trial orders such as 100 units can also be discussed.

Q6: How do I place an order and arrange shipment?

Please contact us first to confirm the required model and functions. We will then provide a PI, and payment can be made by TT, PayPal, Visa, or similar methods. Terms such as EXW, FOB, and DAP are available.

Q7: How long does it take to prepare the products?

Non-custom samples are usually sent within 7 days. For customised orders, we need to review the quantity and functions, adjust the software if needed, and the lead time is usually 3 to 5 weeks. For a bulk order such as 300 units, preparation usually takes about one month.

Q8: How can the products be shipped?

Courier delivery such as FedEx, DHL, or UPS is usually recommended, and door-to-door delivery takes about 7 days. Air shipment is also about 7 days, while sea shipment usually takes around one month or longer, depending on the destination.
