Feature 01: neoHub Pairing

Feature 01 is used to connect the neoStat-HC to a Heatmiser neoHub.

The mesh indicator provides visual confirmation of a successful hub connection.

Feature 02: Switching Differential

Switching Differential controls the temperature difference between the target temperature and the point at which heating begins.

For example, with a set temperature of 20°C:

  • A 1°C differential activates heating at 19°C and stops it at 20°C.
  • A 2°C differential activates heating at 18°C and stops it at 20°C.

The factory default is 1°C.

Feature 03: Frost Protection Temperature

This setting determines the temperature maintained in Frost Protection Mode.

The available range is 7–17°C.

The default temperature is 12°C.

Feature 04: Output Delay

The adjustable range is 0–15 minutes.

The default setting is 0 minutes, meaning no delay.

Feature 05: Temperature Adjustment Limit

The Up/Down Temperature Limit restricts manual temperature changes.

The limit also applies while the thermostat is locked, allowing restricted temperature adjustment.

The setting range is 0–10°C.

Feature 06: Optimum Start

Optimum Start calculates when heating should begin so that the programmed temperature can be reached at the selected time.

The thermostat uses its recorded temperature increase rate to estimate the required warm-up duration.

For example, a calculated rate of change of 20 indicates that approximately 20 minutes are needed to raise the temperature by 1°C.

The Optimum Start setting can be adjusted from 0 to 5 hours.

Feature 07: Rate of Change

Rate of Change represents the number of minutes the thermostat calculates are needed to increase the room temperature by 1°C.

This value is used by the Optimum Start function.

Feature 08: Programming Mode

The thermostat supports the following modes:

ValueProgramming Mode
00Non-Programmable
01Weekday/Weekend (Default)
027 Day
0324 Hour

ValueSystem Configuration
01Two-pipe, selectable heating or cooling
02Two-pipe, cooling only
03Two-pipe heating and cooling with fan output for cooling
04Four-pipe heating, cooling, and Auto
05Two-pipe cooling and two-stage heating

The setting must match the connected equipment and wiring arrangement.

Feature 11: Deadband

Deadband applies when automatic heating and cooling operation is enabled.

It establishes separation between heating and cooling temperature setpoints so that the two functions do not operate against one another.

The adjustable range is 2–10°C.

For example, the manufacturer describes a heating setpoint of 20°C with a deadband setting of 2°C. In this example, the lowest permitted cooling setpoint is 23°C.

If the cooling setpoint is changed to 22°C, the heating setpoint is automatically moved to 19°C.

Feature 12: Constant Fan

Constant Fan determines what happens to the fan after heating or cooling demand ends.

When Constant Fan is enabled:

  • The fan operates at the appropriate speed while there is a heating or cooling demand.
  • After demand ends, the fan continues running at Low speed.

When disabled, the fan stops after heating or cooling demand ends.

SettingFunction
00Disabled (Default)
01Enabled

The manufacturer notes that this feature is disabled during heating operation when System Type 03 is selected.

Feature 13: Cool Air Proof

Cool Air Proof is intended to prevent cold air from being blown by the fan coil when heating is required.

The function opens the coil valve for a selected period before activating the fan.
