Smart Fan Coil Thermostat

When selecting a fan coil thermostat, there are several key features to consider that enhance functionality, efficiency, and user experience:

• Compatibility with fan coil system type (2-pipe or 4-pipe)
• Fan speed control options: typically, low, medium, high, and auto modes
• Programmable scheduling, such as 5-1-1, 7-day, and weekend scheduling
• Energy efficiency modes and features and occupancy sensor compatibility
• Display of real-time data and usage insights
• Wireless connectivity like LoRaWAN® for remote monitoring and control
• Installation flexibility and easy integration into existing setups

To determine if a fan coil thermostat is compatible with your system, follow these steps:

• Identify your fan coil system type (2-pipe or 4-pipe). For instance, Milesight WT301 and WT302 are designed for two-pipe systems and can control 3-speed fan coils. A new model supporting both 2-pipe and 4-pipe FCU will be released in early 2025.
• Check the wiring of your existing thermostat. Milesight provides a compatibility checker tool to guide you through identifying your current wiring setup.
• Look at the technical specifications of the thermostat. For example, the WT301 and WT302 operate on a power supply range of 95-240 VAC and require specific relay configurations (e.g., On/Off or 0-10V for valve control) to function correctly.

Feel free to reach out if you encounter any uncertainties during this process. We can provide expert guidance based on your unique situation and help clarify any compatibility concerns.

Yes, fan coil thermostats can be highly energy efficient, especially when they are equipped with advanced features like programmable schedules, automated fan control, and occupancy sensor integration. Building energy simulation conducted showed that modulation control could save over 50% fan coil units (FCUs) fan energy compared with cycling on and off. The modulation control can also maintain higher chilled water at part-load conditions, leading to over 50% savings in pump energy and more efficient chiller staging.

Milesight fan coil thermostats can be used in both residential and commercial spaces. The WT30x is designed to be versatile and can be integrated into various building applications.

• Residential Use: Fan coil thermostats are commonly installed in homes, apartments, and condominiums. They allow homeowners to control the heating and cooling in individual rooms or zones, providing personalized comfort and energy savings.
• Commercial Use: In commercial settings such as offices, hotels, schools, and retail spaces, fan coil thermostats help regulate indoor climates efficiently. They enable occupants to adjust HVAC settings according to their preferences, contributing to overall energy efficiency and comfort.
