Quick Summary

The HTW-31-F10-4N digital thermostat is designed for fan coil unit systems, offering control of a 3-speed fan and on/off valves. It supports both 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems and ensures stable performance in both heating and cooling modes. RS485 Modbus communication is also supported.

This page explains how this digital thermostat works in real projects. It helps clarify control logic, wiring, and key parameters. It also covers common questions and model choices. Some custom options may be discussed based on project needs.

Key Functional Highlights

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

(01) 3-speed fan control
This digital thermostat controls low, medium, and high fan speeds. It helps match airflow to room demand. This improves comfort and reduces energy waste. It also supports stable fan operation in daily use.

(02) 2/4 pipe on/off valve control (configurable)
The thermostat supports both 2-pipe and 4-pipe systems. It controls heating and cooling valves separately when needed. This gives flexible use across different projects. It also simplifies system setup during installation.

(03) RS485 Modbus
With Modbus communication, this thermostat connects to a BMS (building management system), which allows central monitoring and control. This is useful in hotels or office buildings. It helps reduce manual checks and improves system management.

BACnet models with the same design are also available in this series. If one prefers BACnet communication to Modbus, please refer to this model (please click → HTW-31-F10-2B/4B).

(04) Keylock function
The keylock function prevents unwanted changes to the thermostat and helps avoid incorrect settings in public spaces. This is useful in hotels, offices, or shared areas as it can improve system stability and reduce maintenance work.

(05) Set-point limitation
The set-point limitation function controls the allowed temperature range. It helps avoid extreme heating or cooling settings. It supports energy saving and keeps system operation within a safe range.

Fan coil series xx stands for
2/4 2 for 2-pipe on/off; 4 for 4-pipe on/off system
M Modulating valve control
W Wi-Fi
N/B N for Modbus; B for BACnet
K/E K for Keycard; E for External sensor
Example HTW-WF11-FC-xx: if xx = 2EN, it stands for a 3-speed fan, 2-pipe system with on/off valve control, external sensor function, and Modbus communication. Most sub-models are ready-made. Kindly contact us to confirm availability.

Project Fit & Customization

(This section describes project suitability, system limitations, and available customization options.)

This digital thermostat is not suitable for EC fan systems. It does not support 0–10V control. It is also not ideal for projects needing BACnet. For advanced BMS or smart control, other models may be needed.

Despite these limits, some functions can be adjusted if discussed early. For example, communication options may be changed. External sensors or control logic can also be added. Final options depend on project details and volume.

We also support OEM requests for brand projects. Logo printing and label changes are available. Housing colour can also be customised. This helps match different project styles or market needs.

Certificates and Compliance
