Key Features

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

(01) 3-speed fan control with auto adjustment
This Modbus Thermostat With External sensor supports manual and automatic fan speed control. It adjusts airflow based on temperature difference. This improves comfort and reduces unnecessary energy use in daily operation.

(02) 2 pipe system control
This Modbus Thermostat With External sensor is designed for 2 pipe FCU systems. It switches between heating and cooling modes. This simplifies system design and ensures stable seasonal operation. If you need a standalone model, please refer to this link: HTW-31-F13-2.

(03) External sensor for auxiliary control
The external sensor function allows detection of pipe or floor temperature. When preset conditions are met, auxiliary heating can be activated. This improves system protection and control accuracy.

(04) Modbus communication for BMS
With Modbus communication, this Modbus Thermostat With External sensor can connect to a BMS system. It enables central monitoring and control. This is useful in large buildings and managed projects.
