Introduction
The Smart Temp SMT-131 thermostat has been designed for use in hotel rooms and other
locations where the user may be unfamiliar with thermostat operations. In these applications it is
important that the thermostat be very intuitive, robust and attractive. The SMT-131 thermostat
has been designed with these important goals is mind.
The SMT-131 also offers advanced energy conservation features such as set point limit control,
un-occupied heating and cooling settings as well as Modbus RTU communications for integration
with the “Building Automation System” (BAS) or “Hotel Check In” system. Additionally, the SMT131 seamlessly interfaces with the Smart Temp OC-3D occupancy detection system and “Door
Station” system.
Thermostat operation
The SMT-131 is an extremely simple thermostat to
operate and does not normally require a user
manual or user training.
The diagram to the left shows all LCD elements and
the 6 buttons (Up / Down / Make Up Room / Do Not
Disturb / On – Off / Fan Mode.
Depending on switch and installer menu settings
not all LCD segments maybe shown.
On/Off
Tap the On/Off button to turn the thermostat On or Off. (To ensure the simplest user operation
the user cannot select heating or cooling Mode directly).
Set Temperature
Adjust the target temperature with the Up or Down button.
Fan
Single fan speed mode (Sw1=Off)
Tap the fan button to cycle between auto fan and continuous fan mode.
Three fan speed mode (Sw1=On)
Tap the fan button to cycle between low, medium, high and auto fan speeds. Press and hold the
fan button to turn the fan on continuously.

Page 4
Note. Option 16 in the installer menu (See page 11) permits you to set the SMT-131 to reset the
indoor fan to Automatic Mode (cycle on and off with heating and cooling) every time the
thermostat is turned off and then back on.
Ventilation Mode
If permitted by DIP Sw7, (See page 5) the user can run the indoor fan only (Ventilation Mode)
when the SMT-131 is off by tapping the fan button. Each tap of the fan button will cycle between
all available fan speeds.
“Make up Room” & “Do Not Disturb” Buttons
When enabled by DIP Sw8, (See page 5) pressing these buttons will activate relevant LCD
segments and backlight colour on the optional outside door station as well as write data to
Modbus for monitoring by a BAS system.
Installation
System Design
Great effort has been taken to make the SMT-131 system intuitive, reliable and easy to install.
Using a common sense approach to the installation will ensure this product is installed easily and
to the customer’s satisfaction. Please read and understand this instruction manual so that
installation, testing and commissioning process is undertaken in an efficient and effective
manner.
Wall Controller
Open the SMT-131 wall controller by placing a flat blade
screwdriver or coin in the slot on the bottom of the thermostat
case and push in gently inwards and twist to release the case
locking clip. Gently pry the two case halves apart at the base taking
care not to twist the case too hard as this may crack the LCD.

Wiring Examples – HVAC Control
Caution - Although the SMT-131 is a robust device, wiring errors can potentially
damage the thermostat. This damage is NOT covered by warranty. Take care when
wiring 24V near sensor inputs or the modbus communications terminals.
Provided below are a few typical examples of wiring. These can be adapted to meet specific
project or user needs. For example, heat pump 3 speed fan and heat pump single speed fan are in
essence the same wiring except for DIP switch 1 position and the fan med and high speed
terminal wiring.

When using a separate power supply for the valve, please ensure both power supply’s 0 volt
terminals are joined so the 0-10V signal has a return path.
In this example, the relay “Y” terminal could be used for a circulating water pump call if needed.

Belimo 6 Way Valve
Belimo manufactures an actuator that
is in full cooling at 2V, off at 6V and full
heating at 10V. To use this type of
actuator with the Smart Temp SMT131 you must enter the installer menu
and set valve type to “Belimo Mode”.
Information on the installer menu can
be found on page 10 of this manual.
Given the SMT-131 provides 2 x 0-10V outputs, when in “Belimo Mode”, the heating 0-10V
output controls the Belimo valve while the cooling 0-10V output provides a signal to drive a fully
modulating fan should it be required.
As with normal valves, the 0-10V heating and cooling span settings in the installer menu scale the
heating and cooling outputs. Factory default is full heating and full cooling 1°C from set point. The
heating and cooling span can be adjusted independently to a maximum of full heating and full
cooling 3°C from set point. The output is linear.
Wiring Examples – Ancillary Functions
Additional capabilities can be used when wiring the SMT-131 to external devices. These include
BAS, room occupancy detection systems, door card readers and the optional Smart Temp outside
door stations.
Complete System Overview
As can be seen by the diagram to the left, the SMT-131
is the hub of a sophisticated hotel room HVAC control
and management system.
Connecting the SMT-131 to an automatic occupancy
detection system such as the Smart Temp OC-3D
(optional) permits you to precisely control HVAC energy
consumption by automatically selecting a more
economical room set temperature when the room is
unoccupied.
The optional door station connects quickly and easily to
the SMT-131. This provides the hotel guest with the
ability to request privacy or call for housekeeping when
needed. A doorbell function is also provided.
Network communications enables the room to be
“turned on” remotely as a guest arrives and “shut
down” at checkout – further saving money on energy
costs.

Modbus Wiring
Modbus communications unlock many additional functions within the SMT-131 thermostat. It
also permits all modes, functions and controls to be remotely supervised and adjusted from a
central location if needed. Modbus object data can be found on page 10 of this manual.
The SMT-131 uses a high powered Maxim chipset that will “theoretically” permit the connection
of up to 255 devices on a single Modbus node. RF noises and other interferences will reduce the
real world permitted connections to a maximum of 200 in most cases.
Modbus and other communication protocol rely on the quality of cable and good installation
practises to ensure reliable communications. Modbus requires the use of screen cable with the
drain grounded in a single location.
when using a common power supply or when using a modbus master that also powers the SMT131, ensure the R (24v active), C (24v common) Data A & B wires are not crossed.
Hint! When the SMT-131 is connected to a working Modbus Network and receiving valid data,
the decimal point in the temperature display will blink. If there is no communication or the SMT131 is receiving corrupted data, this decimal point will remain on steady.
Modbus relies on a series connection and
will normally not tolerate “Star” wiring or
“T” branches.
Occupancy Input
When the room is detected “unoccupied” by a third party
device or the optional Smart Temp OC-3D occupancy
detection system, the SMT-131 will replace the user set point
with installer pre-set temperatures or alternatively, turn the
thermostat off. The user settings will return when the room is
again occupied.
The Digital Inputs in the SMT-131 are volt free. To initiate the
“unoccupied” function simply bridge the D+ and D- terminals
through a clean contact (switch or relay terminal).
DO NOT APPLY ANY EXTERNAL VOLTAGES TO THIS INPUT.

Page 9
Outside Door Station
When coupled with the optional
Smart Temp door station the guest
has the ability to set the room as “Do
Not Disturb”, call for housekeeping
or be alerted to visiting guests with a
pleasant doorbell chime. Hotel staff
are informed about the room status
or guest’s needs by text information
displayed on the door station LCD or
the door station backlight colours.
Connection between the SMT-131 and the hotel door station is by the supplied 1 metre cable
fitted with RJ12 plugs. Longer cables up to 10 metres maximum can be supplied at extra cost.
When fitting the door station, the SMT-131 DIP Sw8 must be ON. The outside door station will
flash all LCD segments if DIP Sw8 is in the wrong position.
Remote Temperature sensors
Occasionally the room thermostat cannot be
installed in the ideal location to measure the room
temperature accurately. In these circumstances
the SMT-131 can use optional remote
temperature sensors. These are a two wire device,
not polarity dependent and simply wired into the
SMT-131 sensor inputs terminals. Depending on
installer menu sensor settings, shown on page 11,
remote sensor(s) will either override the SMT-131 onboard sensor or average with the onboard
sensor. Multiple sensors can be used for averaging over larger areas if necessary.
Wireless (RF) remote sensors are also available if wiring cannot be installed economically.
Doorbell
A built in doorbell feature is included with the SMT-131 thermostat. This is normally activated by
the optional outside door station or via Modbus data link. In circumstances where this is not
convenient, the digital input terminals can be
assigned as a doorbell switch with the digital
input options detailed in the installer menu on
page 11. Simply place a momentary volt free
switch across the S+ and S- terminals to
activate the doorbell. Once pressed, the
doorbell will chime for 10 seconds.

Installer Options Menu
The SMT-131 has an impressive list of options that can be installer selected. These options tune
the thermostat’s performance as well as set energy conservation settings. This menu is
deliberately hidden and difficult to enter to discourage unauthorised tampering.
The 2 steps to enter the installer menu are:

Modbus Data
The SMT-131 has integrated Modbus RTU communications. Using a Modbus master controller
such as the Smart Temp 770-HMI many of the SMT-131 thermostat features can be centrally
controlled and monitored.
Modbus is a simple protocol that is extremely popular due to its robustness and simple
implementation. It is also a “forgiving” protocol and will tolerate many installation errors. This
being stated however, correct wiring practices should be used to achieve maximum reliability. See
page 8 for details on wiring Modbus networks.
The SMT-131 Modbus data is within the “40XXX” range, this being holding registers. Depending
on your choice of Modbus Master you may need to enter the address using the full address - such
as “40012” or by selecting “Holding Registers” and entering the address simply as “12”.
These modbus registers are shown as Base “1” (PLC addressing ) format. Depending on your
modbus master addressing format you may need to subtract 1 from these values to convert to
base “0” (protocol addressing) format.
