Key Features

(This section explains the core control functions and their practical value.)

(01) 3-speed fan control with auto mode
This Modbus Thermostat supports manual and automatic fan speed control. It adjusts airflow based on room demand. This improves comfort and helps reduce energy use in daily operation.

(02) 4 pipe system control
This Modbus Thermostat controls heating and cooling valves separately. It suits buildings with simultaneous heating and cooling supply. This improves flexibility and avoids seasonal switching errors. If you need standalone thermostat for 4 pipe system, please refer to this link: HTW-31-F13-4.

(03) Modbus communication
With Modbus communication, this Modbus Thermostat can connect to a BMS system. It allows central monitoring and control. This is useful in hotels, offices, and large buildings.

(04) Keycard energy saving function
The keycard function detects room occupancy. When the card is removed, the system can reduce operation. This helps save energy and improves control in hotel applications.
