02 How to Select the Right Base Station

Choosing the correct base station comes down to four questions: how many zones your system has, what actuator voltage you use, whether you need cooling as well as heating, and whether thermostat cabling is practical.

1
Number of Heating Zones

Count the independent thermostat-controlled rooms. BS-Y6 handles 6 zones; TCC, wireless and BS-N1L handle 8 zones; BS-N1 and BS-N2 handle 10 zones.

2
Actuator Voltage: 230V or 24V

Most models drive standard 230V thermal actuators. For low-voltage 24V actuators, choose the BS-N1L with its integrated 230V-to-24V transformer — no external transformer required.

3
Heating Only or Heating & Cooling

For radiant systems that both heat and cool, choose the BS-N2, which adds a heat/cool changeover input and a dew point sensor that protects against condensation during cooling.

4
Wired or Wireless Communication

For new construction where cables can be routed, choose a wired model. For renovations, retrofits and heritage buildings, choose the wireless 8-zone model with RF communication.

06 Applications

Multi-zone underfloor heating — the primary application: connects room thermostats to actuators on the manifold so each room holds its own temperature independently.
Heating & cooling radiant systems — the BS-N2 runs radiant floors in heating and cooling modes via a single changeover input, with dew point protection during cooling.
Low-voltage 24V installations — the BS-N1L drives 24V actuators via an integrated 230V-to-24V transformer for safety-sensitive or wet areas.
Residential & light commercial systems — integrated pump and boiler outputs start the heat source only when a zone calls for heat. The 8 and 10-zone models suit larger homes and small commercial spaces.
Renovation & retrofit projects — the wireless 8-zone model adds room-by-room control without running thermostat cables through finished walls and floors.
New construction & control panels — wired models provide a robust hub; DIN-rail mounting on the N-series integrates cleanly into distribution panels.

07 FAQ

What is a base station in an underfloor heating system?

The central wiring and control hub of a multi-zone system. It receives signals from room thermostats, routes switching commands to the corresponding actuators, and manages pump and boiler outputs. Without it, each thermostat would need to be wired independently — far more complex and error-prone.

Are you a manufacturer or a trader?

We are a manufacturer. Base stations are produced at our own facility in Jiaxing with in-house PCB assembly, housing moulding, terminal integration, transformer assembly and end-of-line functional and safety testing.

What is the difference between a wired and a wireless base station?

Wired models run thermostat signal cables back to the base station. The wireless model carries commands by RF, removing signal cables entirely. Actuator wiring to the manifold is the same in both. Wireless suits renovations; wired suits new construction.

Which model should I choose for my number of zones?

BS-Y6 up to 6 zones; TCC wired, wireless 8-zone, or 24V BS-N1L for 7-8 zones; BS-N1 (heating) or BS-N2 (heating and cooling) for up to 10 zones. Also confirm actuator voltage and whether you need cooling.

What is the difference between a 230V and a 24V base station?

The voltage refers to the actuators driven. A 230V unit switches mains-voltage actuators directly. The 24V BS-N1L includes an integrated transformer that steps 230V mains down to 24V DC internally — no external transformer needed.

Do you make a base station that does both heating and cooling?

Yes. The BS-N2 is a 10-zone heating and cooling base station with a 230Vac heat/cool changeover input and a dew point sensor that cuts off cold water supply and stops the pump if condensation is detected during cooling.

How many actuators can be connected per zone?

BS-Y6, TCC and wireless models allow up to 2 actuators per zone. The N-series (BS-N1, BS-N2, BS-N1L) allows up to 5 actuators per zone for large rooms or open-plan areas with several manifold loops.

What does Normally Closed (NC) control direction mean?

In an NC system, the actuator is open (flow-on) when no electrical signal is present and closes when energised. This means heating zones are active by default and the thermostat commands the system to stop heating once the target is reached — the most common European floor heating configuration.

What is the purpose of the pump and boiler start delay?

It prevents short-cycling during brief thermostat switching and avoids conflicts between the base station's control logic and external pump commands at startup, protecting the pump from rapid start-stop sequences.

What is the forced start-pump function?

On the BS-N1 and BS-N1L, if no zone calls for heat for 24 hours, the base station runs the circulating pump for one minute. This anti-seize function keeps the pump from getting stuck during the non-heating season.

Do Legom base stations work with third-party thermostats and actuators?

Wired models are compatible with standard thermostats and NC thermal actuators of the matching voltage. For the wireless model, third-party thermostat compatibility depends on the RF protocol — confirm with our team before mixing brands.

Does wireless mean no cables at all?

No. The base station still requires a 230V mains cable, and actuators on the manifold are still wired to it. What is wireless is the communication between thermostats and the base station; each wireless thermostat needs its own power, typically batteries.

What standards do Legom base stations meet?

Y-series units are built to EN 60730-2 with an integrated cable guide and strain relief compliant with DIN EN 60730-1. The N-series is CE approved. All models are IP20 with Class II insulation.

What is the warranty on Legom base stations?

Standard 12-month warranty from the date of shipment against manufacturing defects. Warranty claims must be accompanied by a sample return for inspection. Extended terms can be discussed for long-term OEM agreements.
