Danfoss 003N0050 | KPI 35 Electronic Room Thermostat, 5–35°C, SPDT 230V AC
Danfoss 003N0050 (KPI 35) electronic room thermostat. 5–35°C setpoint, SPDT 10(4)A @ 230V AC, surface mount, for heating/cooling HVAC zone control.
Product Overview
The Danfoss 003N0050 is the commercial reference for the Danfoss KPI 35 electronic room thermostat — a bimetal-sensing, line-voltage thermostat designed for space temperature control in heating and cooling systems. It features a 5–35 °C adjustable temperature range, SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch contacts rated at 10(4)A @ 230V AC, and is intended for surface mounting in residential, commercial, or light industrial HVAC zones. The thermostat operates on a 2-wire or 3-wire control scheme depending on whether it switches a pump, fan coil, or zone valve directly.

Key Features
-
SPDT Switching: Provides both heating (NO) and cooling/alarm (NC) contact from one device — useful for 3-wire fan-coil or heat/cool changeover control.
-
High Contact Rating: 10A resistive allows direct switching of small circulation pumps, zone valve motors (check inrush!), or fan relays without an intermediate contactor.
-
Simple Calibration: Setpoint knob with clear °C scale; no batteries or external power required (purely electromechanical).
-
Wide Application Range: 5–35°C span covers frost protection (5°C) through comfort heating and moderate cooling setpoints.
Applications
-
Hydronic Heating Zones: Switching zone valve motors (e.g., VG) or circulating pump relays in underfloor or radiator systems.
-
Fan Coil Units (FCU): 3-wire control — NO contact to heating valve / NC contact to cooling stage or fan interlock.
-
Server / Plant Room Frost Protection: Setting to 5–8°C to energize trace heating or space heaters.
-
Retrofit Thermostat: Direct replacement for older line-voltage room stats in European-style HVAC installs.
Note: The 003N0050 (KPI 35) is an electromechanical bimetal SPDT room thermostat. For a digital programmable / PI-controlled version with LCD and 0–10V/relay output, see the Danfoss RTD / ECL Comfort / Icon series. If you need a 2-wire NO-only (SPST) version, the KPI 30 (003N0040) is the single-pole variant. Always verify valve/pump coil inrush current doesn't exceed the 4A inductive rating before direct switching.
