BUDDERFLY BTS-U1 Thermostat User Manual

BUDDERFLY BTS-U1 Thermostat

Product Information

Introduction

The Budderfly thermostat is a device designed to regulate the temperature in heating or cooling systems by comparing the current temperature to a set temperature called the setpoint. It has internal temperature and humidity sensors and can also have an external temperature sensor connected to it. When the current temperature deviates from the set point, the thermostat sends a signal to turn on or off the heating or cooling system to bring the temperature back to the set point.

Systems Compatibility

The Budderfly Thermostat BTS-U1 is designed to operate with low-voltage heating and cooling systems. It should not be used with line-voltage and cooling systems.

Specifications

The BTS-U1 has various terminal descriptions and wiring diagrams for different system types configurations. The maximum wire length allowed depends on the wire gauge used.

About The Product

Budderfly thermostat is a device that regulates temperature in a heating or cooling system. It operates by measuring the current temperature and comparing it to a set temperature, called the set point. The thermostat has internal temperature and humidity sensors and can also have an external temperature sensor connected to it.
When the current temperature deviates from the set point, the thermostat sends a signal to turn on or off the heating or cooling system to bring the temperature back to the set point.

The thermostat is powered by 24 VAC, can control 2 cooling and 3 heating stages, is smart, with the capability to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, and can be locked with a pin, set either locally or through Budderfly apps. This allows for remote temperature control and monitoring through a Budderfly apps. The thermostat can be programmed with different setpoints for different times of the day and for 7 days, allowing for energy efficiency and comfort control. It also has manual override options for immediate temperature adjustments.

Getting Started

Existing Thermostat Replacement

Step 1. Power Off HVAC Equipment
Before disconnecting the existing thermostat, or installing the BTS-U1, disconnect the power to the heating and air conditioning equipment.

Step 2. Remove Existing Thermostat
Disconnect the wires to the existing thermostat and remove it from the wall (if you are installing the BTS-U1 in the same location).

Step 3. Install the BTS-U1
The ideal location for the thermostat is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) above floor level in the main living area.
Warning: Do not install the thermostat: Close to sources of heat such as incandescent lights Near supply heating/cooling sources, in direct sunlight, non-insulated or poorly insulated walls In the kitchen or other areas of potentially high heat and/or humidity In an area that could restrict air flow

To install the thermostat:

1. Gently separate the backplate from the thermostat.
2. Place the thermostat backplate on the wall. Make sure that any existing wires can be inserted through the opening for the wiring.
3. Using the backplate as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall as shown below.
4. Move the backplate out of the way and make holes where indicated in step 3. The mounting holes can accommodate a #6 pan-head screw. It is recommended to use the included fasteners to ensure proper fitting of the front housing.
5. Use the included drywall plugs (or other suitable anchors) to ensure the thermostat can be mounted securely to the wall. 6. Fasten the backplate to the wall using the screws provided (or other suitable screws).

Step 4. Connect the Wiring
You need to use the low-voltage cable to connect the thermostat to the HVAC equipment. Check the wiring diagrams on pages 10 to 19 for the number of wires required.
To connect the thermostat to the equipment:

1. Connect the wires as shown in the wiring diagrams.
2.  Attach the BTS-U1 to the backplate. Ensure that the pins on the thermostat align with the terminal block on the backplate.
