Heatmiser Smart Thermostat neoStat-HC1
The IMI Heatmiser neoStat-HC1 is a smart, programmable fan coil thermostat designed to control heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. It supports two-pipe and four-pipe installations, providing temperature regulation, fan speed adjustment, valve control, and programmable comfort settings.
The neoStat-HC1 uses a 0–10V fan control output, with automatic and manual Low, Medium, and High fan speed settings. Five selectable system configurations allow the thermostat to operate with different heating, cooling, and valve arrangements.
The thermostat features an LCD display, touch-sensitive navigation keys, an approach sensor, frost protection, holiday programming, temperature hold, and a four-digit keypad lock. When paired with a compatible Heatmiser neoHub, it can communicate through the neo mesh network and connect to the Heatmiser neoApp.

The cooling symbol identifies active cooling operation.
Approach Sensor
The neoStat-HC1 uses proximity detection to illuminate the touch controls and LCD backlight when someone approaches.
The illuminated controls make it easier to identify and operate the thermostat in a dark room.
Installation Instructions
The neoStat-HC1 is designed for flush mounting into a wall back box.
A minimum back box depth of 35 mm is required.
Important Installation Requirements
- Mount the thermostat at eye level.
- Do not install it near a direct heat source because this may affect operation.
- Do not press forcefully against the LCD screen, as permanent damage may occur.
- Install the thermostat using the correct wiring arrangement for the configured System Type.
- The thermostat must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local installation regulations.
Step 1: Remove the Front Panel
- Locate the retaining screw on the bottom edge of the thermostat.
- Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw slightly.
- Carefully separate the thermostat front panel from the back plate.
- Place the front panel somewhere safe.
Step 2: Complete the Electrical Connections
The electrical connections must follow the manufacturer’s wiring diagram corresponding to the selected system configuration.
The manual provides separate diagrams for normally closed valves, normally open valves, three-wire valves, fan coil and wet systems, and separate heating and cooling valves.
The connection arrangement must be completed by a qualified electrician.
Step 3: Install the Back Plate
- Position the back plate against the recessed wall back box.
- Align the mounting holes.
- Secure the back plate to the box using screws.
Step 4: Reattach the Front Panel
- Position the front panel against the installed back plate.
- Carefully clip the front section into place.
- Tighten the retaining screw at the base of the thermostat.
The illustrated installation procedure appears on PDF pages 4–5.
Understanding the 0–10V Fan Control
The neoStat-HC1 uses a 0–10V fan output, identified by the GND and AO terminals.
These terminals are shown in the wiring diagrams for connecting a compatible 0–10V controlled fan.
The thermostat supports automatic fan adjustment and manual selection of Low, Medium, and High speeds according to the selected system configuration.
Fan Control Terminals
| Terminal | Function |
| GND | Reference connection for the 0–10V fan control |
| AO | 0–10V fan control output |
The 0–10V fan connections are separate from the 230V AC mains and switched valve terminals shown in the manufacturer’s diagrams.
The exact connection arrangement must follow the wiring diagram for the installed equipment.

Feature 01: neoHub Pairing
Feature 01 is used to connect the thermostat to the Heatmiser neoHub.
The mesh icon flashes during pairing and remains visible after a successful connection.
Feature 02: Switching Differential
Switching Differential determines how far the room temperature can fall below the target temperature before heating begins.
For example, with a target temperature of 20°C:
- A 1°C differential activates heating at 19°C and switches it off at 20°C.
- A 2°C differential activates heating at 18°C and switches it off at 20°C.
The factory default is 1°C.
Feature 03: Frost Protection Temperature
This setting determines the temperature maintained during Frost Protection Mode.
The factory default is 12°C.
Feature 04: Output Delay
Output Delay prevents rapid switching of the thermostat’s output.
The adjustable range is 0–15 minutes.
The default setting is 0 minutes, meaning no delay.
Feature 05: Temperature Adjustment Limit
This feature restricts manual temperature changes made through the Up and Down buttons.
The limit also applies when the thermostat is locked.
The adjustable setting range is 0–10°C, with a default of 0.
Feature 06: Optimum Start
Optimum Start calculates when heating should begin so that the programmed temperature is reached at the required time.
The thermostat uses its observed heating rate to estimate the necessary start time.
The adjustable range is 0–5 hours.
The default is 0.
Feature 07: Rate of Change
Rate of Change represents the number of minutes the thermostat calculates are required to increase the temperature by 1°C.
For example, a calculated value of 20 indicates that the system takes approximately 20 minutes to raise the temperature by 1°C.
This value is used by Optimum Start.
Feature 08: Programming Mode
The available programming settings are:
| Setting | Programming Mode |
| 00 | Non-Programmable |
| 01 | Weekday/Weekend (Default) |
| 02 | 7 Day |
| 03 | 24 Hour |
Feature 09: Temperature Format
Temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- 00: Celsius
- 01: Fahrenheit
Celsius is the factory default.
Feature 10: System Type
Feature 10 selects the installed system configuration.
| Setting | System Type |
| 01 | Two-pipe, selectable heating or cooling |
| 02 | Two-pipe, cooling only |
| 03 | Two-pipe, twin valve heating and cooling |
| 04 | Four-pipe heating and cooling |
| 05 | Two-pipe cooling with two-stage heating |
Feature 11: Deadband
Deadband is used in Auto Mode to maintain separation between heating and cooling temperatures.
It prevents heating and cooling from being requested at conflicting setpoints.
The adjustable range is 2–10°C.
For example, with a heating target of 20°C and a deadband setting of 2°C, the minimum allowed cooling target is 23°C.
If the cooling target is changed to 22°C, the thermostat moves the heating target to 19°C.
Feature 12: Constant Fan
Constant Fan determines whether the fan continues operating after heating or cooling demand ends.
When enabled:
- Fan speed is adjusted between Low, Medium, and High while heating or cooling is required.
- After demand ends, the fan continues operating at Low speed.
When disabled, fan operation stops when the heating or cooling demand ends.
| Setting | Function |
| 00 | Disabled (Default) |
| 01 | Enabled |
The manual notes that this feature is disabled during heating when System Type 03 is selected.
Feature 13: Cool Air Proof
Cool Air Proof delays the fan when heating begins.
The valve opens for the configured period before the fan starts, reducing the likelihood of cold air being circulated during the start of heating.
Available settings are:
| Setting | Delay |
| 00 | Disabled (Default) |
| 05 | 5 seconds |
| 10 | 10 seconds |
| 15 | 15 seconds |
| 30 | 30 seconds |
| 60 | 60 seconds |
| 90 | 90 seconds |
Feature 14: Valve Cycling
Valve Cycling periodically operates valves that have remained inactive.
When enabled, each affected valve is operated for five minutes according to the selected interval.
The operation is randomized to avoid simultaneous demand across the system.
| Setting | Valve Cycling Operation |
| 00 | Disabled (Default) |
| 11 | Five minutes after a one-week delay, then once per week |
| 12 | Five minutes after a two-week delay, then once per week |
| 13 | Five minutes after a four-week delay, then once per week |
| 21 | Five minutes after a one-month delay, then once per month |
| 22 | Five minutes after a one-month delay, then twice per month |
| 23 | Five minutes after a one-month delay, then four times per month |
