July 5, 2012 Page 4 of 49 66 8003 002-7 1. General This manual • describes how to install the Orion EMS (Energy Management System) option and if applicable an Orion EMS client; chapter 2 - for the Orion EMS features to be shown in the VISIONLINE software, it is necessary to install the Orion EMS option; follow the steps in section 2.1 - if the Orion EMS features should also be available in a separate client where the operators do not see the “ordinary” VISIONLINE items such as doors, follow the steps in section 2.2; this requires that the Orion EMS option has been installed in the VISIONLINE software • gives information about the Orion EMS devices and parameters; chapter 3 • describes how to install and commission the Orion EMS devices; chapter 4 Note: For daily operations when the system is in use, see Daily use manual Orion EMS. In that document, more information about Orion Service and SysMon (System Monitor) features is also found. The items used together with Orion EMS are: • digital thermostat Note: Depending on installation conditions, also a thermostat controller is used or not. If used, the thermostat controller is the master of the system and the thermostat is only a guest interface device which transmits information to the thermostat controller for processing and decision making. • motion sensor • door monitoring device; lock, switch • gateway (the same as is used for online doors; requires the Online option which is also installed according to 2.1) Note: The gateway is not used in offline scenarios; see Appendix C for details. Note: For each room number, it is possible to have either • one wired thermostat • up to five motion sensors • up to five door switches OR • one thermostat controller • up to five battery thermostats • up to five motion sensors • up to five door switches Note: The best conditions for Orion EMS are obtained if also the locks are online and commissioned to the same ZigBee network as the thermostat and the motion sensor. Note: In the rest of this document, the term ‘thermostat’ includes thermostat as well as thermostat controller, unless something else is stated.
July 5, 2012 Page 5 of 49 66 8003 002-7 2. Software installation 2.1 Installing an option If the Orion EMS option (and Online option) has been ordered together with the VISIONLINE software, it is included in the license code and will be set in the software when the license code is entered. If the option(s) should be added to the system at a later occasion, when the license code has already been entered and system ID is therefore set, an option code is used instead. Several software options can be included in one option code. An operator with the authority to handle option codes must be logged on. Normally, options are set by the system manager or the distributor. When ordering the option, the system code must be communicated to the ordering department: 1. Double click on System settings under the Reports tab in the navigation window of VISIONLINE. System settings is available even if you are not logged on. 2. Communicate your system code to the order department; see order acknowledgement for phone number and e-mail address. The system code can also be entered in the Ordering web page when making the order. To install an option: 1. Go to Tools/Option code in VISIONLINE. 2. Enter the option code and click Apply. 2.2 Installing an Orion EMS client If there should be a separate Orion EMS client (see chapter 1 for more information), this is installed according to the ReadMe file for the applicable operating system. The ReadMe files are found on the Orion EMS software CD. 2.2.1 Starting an Orion EMS client 1. Click the Start button and go to Programs/Orion EMS/Orion EMS. 2. When requested, log on with the same user ID and password as for VISIONLINE.
July 5, 2012 Page 6 of 49 66 8003 002-7 3. Component information As mentioned in chapter 1 General, two different thermostat configurations are available: • battery operated thermostat that communicates via ZigBee to a wired thermostat controller • wired thermostat and no thermostat controller 3.1 Thermostat controller If the configuration with thermostat controller is used, the thermostat controller is the master of the in-room system. This item has a built-in router via which it communicates with the VISIONLINE software (or Orion EMS software, if applicable) and the devices within the room. It is also possible to have an offline scenario where there is no connection to the server, and where each room can be seen as a PAN (personal area network) which is controlled by its thermostat controller. In this case, the thermostat controller has a coordinator firmware instead of a router firmware. Note: The thermostat controller may not be sealed into a metal box. When the different room devices are commissioned (see section 4.5.1.2 for details), they are joined to the router of the thermostat controller and registered in the thermostat controller. The thermostat controller stores all parameters needed for the energy management, with a few exceptions which are stored in the thermostat; see section 3.3 for details. These are transferred either from a service device, or online from the VISIONLINE/Orion EMS software. The thermostat controller receives entry and exit information from the door lock or switch as well as information from the motion sensor. This information is used to determine the occupancy status of the room and implement energy savings strategy based on this information. 3.1.1 Thermostat controller dimensions Dimensions in mm (inches) Figure 1
July 5, 2012 Page 7 of 49 66 8003 002-7 3.2 Thermostat The guest operates the thermostat, which depending on configuration communicates either • with the thermostat controller OR • directly with the VISIONLINE software/Orion EMS software and the devices within the room. The thermostat buttons and thermostat display are the same in both cases. In the case of battery operated thermostat, 3AA batteries (4.5 VDC) in a battery package are used. 3.2.1 Thermostat buttons The hotel guest controls the thermostat using the five buttons shown on the right side of the unit in Figure 2. • C/F: Controls the temperature display. Pressing this button will toggle the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit. • Up and Down Arrows: The up and down arrows are used to set the desired temperature. The thermostat will automatically choose between heat and cool so there is no need for the guest to select the function. Note: Some systems are unable to switch between the heating and cooling functions. This does not change the way the guest uses the system, but the thermostat is programmed accordingly and will not call for a function that is not available. • Fan Control Button: The Fan control button allows the user to select from up to three fan speeds or choose ‘Automatic’ to let the thermostat determine the appropriate fan setting. Note: The ability to control fan speeds depends on the capability of the air handler as some systems do not have three fan speeds. • On/Off Button: The On/Off button toggles the thermostat power on or off. Note: Even when the unit is turned off, the energy management logic will take over when the room is unoccupied to manage the temperature accordingly. Figure 2
July 5, 2012 Page 8 of 49 66 8003 002-7 3.2.2 Thermostat display The thermostat displays settings and operation details to the guest, such as room temperature and heat/cool indications. Display details: • Temperature Display: The temperature display area shows the actual room temperature or the set temperature as well as the indication of Fahrenheit or Celsius. When the displayed temperature is the guest setting, not the actual room temperature, the SET indicator is also displayed. Note: Whenever a guest is changing the setting, the SET temperature will display. • Heat/Cool Indicator: The thermostat displays universal icons for heating and cooling. The snow star is the symbol to indicate the unit is in cooling mode and the flame is the symbol to indicate heating mode. • Fan Display: The fan display shows the fan speed of the unit. As the fan speed increases, additional segments or the indicator are displayed. When in AUTO fan mode, the word AUTO will appear in the middle of the display (at the Miscellaneous Indicator, see below). • Miscellaneous Indicator: The indicator in the middle of the display is a multi-purpose indicator. It e.g. displays the word AUTO when the automatic fan mode is enabled. • Service indicators: - Wrench Icon: The wrench icon is displayed when maintenance is required on any of the EMS devices in the room or the HVAC unit. This icon is only displayed to hotel staff. To get the details of the maintenance needed, connect the service terminal to the thermostat. - Error (E) Indicator: The error indicator is primarily used for the battery operated thermostat and will be displayed when communication between the thermostat and the thermostat controller is lost. When displayed, the thermostat will turn OFF. This indicator is displayed to guests as well as staff, as maintenance is required in order for the system to operate. - Battery Icon: The battery icon is displayed to hotel staff when the batteries are low (on battery powered units) and in need of replacement. Note: This is a low indicator only, not a segmented icon that displays the battery level. As soon as this indicator is displayed, the batteries need to be replaced. Note: If the lock is not used to monitor the door status, the service indicators will only be displayed when the service device is used - with the exception of the error (E) indicator. Figure 3

The door switch is powered by 2 AA batteries and the kit also includes a magnet (see Figure 8) and two screws. The door switch can be mounted as it is or on a wall-mounted casing (see Figure 9) which is purchased separately. Note: For best operation, the magnet should be installed maximum 10 mm (25/64″) from the reed switch which is located as in Figure 7. Note: It is also possible to use a wired door switch without radio; see section 4.3.2.4 for details. 3.5.1 RF door switch dimensions Dimensions in mm (inches) Figure 7

July 5, 2012 Page 16 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4. Device installation and commissioning The Orion EMS thermostat is a low voltage (12-24V AC / 15-24V DC) device and the air handler to which it is installed must have a low voltage interface. If no low voltage interface exists, one supplied by the distributor or another qualified installer must be installed. The thermostat may be connected on air handlers with either standard (on/off) control or heat pump control. Important: Do not connect the Orion EMS thermostat directly to high voltage as this will destroy the thermostat. 4.1 Inputs / outputs Table 3 shows the inputs and outputs for the Orion EMS thermostat which are connected via the wiring harness supplied with the thermostat. Note: Connect input voltage 12-24V AC or 15-24V DC to pins 13 and 14. Note: If a thermostat controller is used, the wiring harness is connected at the front of the thermostat controller as shown in Figure 11. Note: If no thermostat controller is used, the wiring harness is connected at the back of the thermostat as shown in Figure 12.

July 5, 2012 Page 19 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.2 Installing a thermostat controller Note: The thermostat controller may not be sealed into a metal box. 4.2.1 Mounting a thermostat controller The thermostat controller is designed to be installed on a standard US or European single gang switch box. Figure 10 shows the five screw holes on the back of the thermostat controller. Note: The thermostat controller may also be installed inside an air handler as long as it in not encased in metal. Figure 13 1. The mounting bracket is attached using five screws and the thermostat controller can then be snapped into place on the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 14. 2. Once the wiring harness is connected, it is best to insert the thermostat controller on the bottom snaps first; then press down on the top of the mounting bracket as the top is snapped into place. To remove a thermostat controller: 1. Press down on the top of the mounting bracket to release the snaps and pull the top of the thermostat controller away from the wall; then lift up to completely remove from the bracket. Figure 14
July 5, 2012 Page 20 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.3 Installing a thermostat The thermostat is only to be installed by qualified installers. All local codes must be followed when installing this thermostat. The thermostat will control a variety of HVAC systems and the installation will vary based on the type of system to which it is installed. 4.3.1 Mounting a thermostat The thermostat is designed to be installed on a standard US or European single gang switch box. 1. The mounting bracket is attached using two screws and the thermostat can then be snapped into place on the mounting bracket as shown in Figure 15. 2. Once the wiring harness is connected, it is best to insert the thermostat on the bottom snaps first; then press down on the top of the mounting bracket as the top is snapped into place. To remove a thermostat: 1. Press down on the top of the mounting bracket to release the snaps and pull the top of the thermostat away from the wall; then lift up to completely remove from the bracket. Figure 15
July 5, 2012 Page 21 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.3.1.1 Thermostat placement If there are no existing thermostats, a few important items should be considered in determining placement: • Do not mount the thermostat in the direct air flow of the air handler. • Do not mount the thermostat in direct sunlight. • Do not mount the thermostat directly above or behind any heat generating device such as a light or a TV. • Generally, the thermostat should be mounted about 1.5m (5 feet) above the floor for standard rooms; however, local codes must be followed. Note: When applicable, also follow local handicap requirements. 4.3.1.2 Thermostat battery exchange To exchange the batteries in the thermostat, remove the thermostat according to section 4.3.1 and exchange the batteries (3 AA) in the battery package. 4.3.2 Wiring a thermostat 4.3.2.1 Recommended wire specification It is recommended to use 0,82 – 0,33 mm2 / 18 – 22 AWG (equivalent) solid copper wire (Plenum rated if required by local code) from the thermostat to the HVAC system or line to low voltage interface. The same can be used if installing a wired door switch. The number of conductors to the HVAC system will depend on the particular installation. A 2-conductor wire is required for the wired door switch. 4.3.2.2 Connecting a thermostat The wires of the wiring harness (Figure 10) are to be connected to the low voltage thermostat inputs of the air handler. These include heat, cool, three fan speeds and the reversing valve (heat pump only). Note: If connecting to an air handler that has only two fan speeds, connect the low fan to the Fan 1 output and the high fan to the Fan 2 output. If the air handler has only one fan speed, connect to the Fan 1 output. Important: If connecting to a high voltage air handler, a line to low voltage conversion kit must be used. W/W2 (white) For standard systems, this controls HEAT. For heat pumps, this is connected to the Stage 2 heating element if applicable. Y/W2 (yellow) This controls the COOL function for standard control and the Compressor for heat pump control. (For heat pumps, this is Stage 1 heating). G1 (green) This controls fan speed 1 (low). G2 (orange) This controls fan speed 2 (medium). G3 (dark blue) This controls fan speed 3 (high). RV (violet) This controls the reversing valve (heat pump only). The logic is set by the configurable parameters when the thermostat is commissioned. Power - Common / Ground (black) Power (red) 12-24V AC 15-24V DC Table 4
July 5, 2012 Page 22 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.3.2.3 Line to low voltage conversion Figure 16 shows the wiring diagram for connecting to a line to low voltage conversion kit. This kit is typically located in the control box of the HVAC system or in close proximity to the unit. Note: Local codes must be followed when installing the line to low voltage conversion kit. Figure 16 4.3.2.4 Connecting a wired door switch If a wired door switch will be used to monitor the position of the door, it is recommended to use a magnetic 2-wire door switch. These wires are connected to the thermostat wiring harness as follows: • If the door is exterior (leads to the outside), connect the wires to the orange/blue (exterior door input) wire and the white/black wire of the thermostat wiring harness. • If the door is interior (leads to an interior corridor), connect the wires to the gray (interior door input) wire and the white/black wire of the thermostat wiring harness. Installation of the door switch will vary depending on the type of switch used. Follow the instructions provided with the door switch to install it at the door.
July 5, 2012 Page 23 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.4 Installing a motion sensor The motion sensor is a battery operated device that may be installed on the ceiling or wall. The mounting bracket is installed with two screws as shown in Figure 17. Figure 17
July 5, 2012 Page 24 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.4.1 Motion sensor placement For optimal coverage, the motion sensor should be installed on the ceiling as close to the middle of the room as possible. When ceiling mounting is not feasible, either due to the construction or for the aesthetics of the room, the sensor may be placed on the wall. The location should be as high as possible and give as much coverage to the room as possible. Figure 18 shows the range of the motion sensor when placed on the ceiling. This range is somewhat reduced when installed on the wall. The range shown is a general guideline, and the sensor is designed to cover an area of about 8m (26 feet) in diameter. To check the placement, it is advisable to activate the motion LED using the service device and test the range of the motion sensor. This process will help to determine the best location of the sensor. See section 4.6 Testing the In-Room Devices for instructions on this process. Figure 18
July 5, 2012 Page 25 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.5 Commissioning the system Before the devices can communicate, they must be joined to the ZigBee network. For detailed instructions and rules on this network, see User manual Online option. Note: The ZigBee network, including gateway and router locations, must first be specified by a qualified technician. No online setup can be done until this step is completed. 4.5.1 Commissioning when thermostat controller is used 4.5.1.1 Joining the thermostat controller to the network 1. In the ZigBee Network window of SysMon, right click on the applicable gateway/router and select Permit Joining. The gateway/router is now ‘open’. It will remain in this status for approximately 15 minutes or until a forbid join command is executed. 2. With the gateway/router open, plug the service cable into the thermostat controller. Figure 19 3. In the Orion Service software (Start/Programs/Orion Service/ Orion Service), choose Configure device in the left part of the window. Let the tab Thermostat (default) be open and click the Discovery button. The thermostat controller will connect to the open gateway/router. Figure 20 4. To see if the thermostat controller was able to join the network, click the Check status button in the Configure Device section of Orion Service. If the joining was successful, the message ‘Device is online’ is shown. 5. With the thermostat controller joined to its gateway/router, right click on the gateway/router in SysMon and select Forbid Joining.
July 5, 2012 Page 26 of 49 66 8003 002-7 4.5.1.2 Joining the in-room devices to the thermostat controller The next step is to join the in-room devices, e.g. thermostats, motion sensors and locks (or RF door switches, if this is applicable). Note: When the thermostat controller is applicable, the thermostat has an endnode firmware. The thermostat controller has either a router firmware or a coordinator firmware, depending on scenario. The coordinator firmware is for offline scenarios when there is no connection to the server; see Appendix C for details about setting up the in-room network in that case. 1. Plug the service cable into the thermostat controller. 2. Click the Permit Join button in the Configure device section (Thermostat tab) of Orion Service; see picture in 4.5.1.1. Note: The thermostat controller will remain open for 15 minutes or until a forbid join command is received. 3. Once the thermostat controller has been opened for joining, plug the service cable into the applicable in-room device. Choose the Motion sensor tab in the Configure device section of Orion Service; click the Discovery button. 4. Wait a few seconds and then click the Check status button. If the device has joined successfully, the message ‘Device is online’ is shown. If that message is not displayed, wait a few more seconds and check the status again. If the device is still offline, repeat the discovery process. 5. Join the lock and use an Enable EMI events card in it; details are found in the section Enabling EMI events via card in Appendix C. 6. If an RF door switch is applicable instead of a lock, repeat steps 3-5 with the RF door switch; in step 4, use the Door switch tab. 7. Click the Forbid join button under the Thermostat tab in the Configure device section of Orion Service; see picture in 4.5.1.1. 8. Test the in-room devices; details are found in section 4.6. Figure 21
July 5, 2012 Page 27 of 49 66 8003 002-7 Figure 22 4.5.2 Commissioning when thermostat controller is not used The thermostat is equipped with a ZigBee endnode which can have either router firmware or coordinator firmware. The coordinator firmware is for offline scenarios when there is no connection to the server; see Appendix C for details about setting up the in-room network in that case. The thermostat may be joined directly to a gateway, router or another thermostat as specified in the network layout. The thermostat is the primary device in the room, and the lock and motion sensor will be joined to this thermostat. When the steps in sections 4.5.2.1 and 4.5.2.2 have been performed, the in-room network is operational. Note: To use the Orion Service software which is mentioned in step 4 below, connections to the application server must be made according to Appendix A. 4.5.2.1 Joining the thermostat to the network 1. To be able to join the thermostat to the gateway or router, it is first necessary to permit joining on the gateway or router. This is done in the SystemMonitor, SysMon; to open this, double click on SysMon.exe in the software installation folder and log on at File/Log on. In SysMon, choose View/ZigBee to see the ZigBee network. Right click on the designated gateway/router in the ZigBee Network dialog and select Permit Joining in the right-click menu; see Figure 22. 2. When the gateway/router has been set in the permit joining mode, it is “open”. It will remain in this status for approximately 15 minutes or until a forbid join command is executed. 3. With the gateway/router open, plug the service cable into the thermostat. 4. In the Orion Service software (go to Start/Programs/Orion Service/ Orion Service), choose Configure device in the left pane of the window. Let the tab Thermostat (default) be open and click the Discovery button; see Figure 23. The thermostat will connect to the open gateway/router. 5. To see if the thermostat was able to join the network, click the Check status button in the Configure Device section of Orion Service.

July 5, 2012 Page 29 of 49 66 8003 002-7 6. The lock is joined to the thermostat by using a Discovery card (one of the ZigBee configuration cards; see User manual Online option for information about issuing the card). For mag/smart locks the card is inserted into the card reader, and for RFID locks the card is placed against the reader. There will depending on lock model be a green flash and/or a chirp, indicating that the lock has been set into discovery mode. Wait a few seconds and then present the Check Status card (one of the ZigBee configuration cards) at the lock. If the light flashes the green light only and/or a chirp is heard, the lock has successfully joined the network. If you instead see a green flash followed by red flashes, and/or a beep is heard, the lock has not joined. In this case, wait a few seconds and then try the Check Status card again. If still not successful, repeat the discovery process. 7. In order for the lock to send door events to the thermostats, EMI events must be enabled. This is achieved by presenting an Enable EMI events card (one of the ZigBee configuration cards) at the lock. 8. If an RF door switch is applicable instead of a lock, repeat steps 3-5 with the RF door switch; in step 4, use the Door switch tab. 9. Once the devices have been successfully joined, plug the service cable into the thermostat. 10. Choose the Thermostat tab of the Configure device section in Orion Service. Click the Forbid Join button; see Figure 27. Failure to perform this step will result in problems when setting up the network in nearby rooms. 11.

Make sure that the motion sensor, lock and thermostat all say ‘Offline: No’; see Figure 29. Figure 29 6. Test the range of the motion sensor. First, make sure that the door is open as this will ensure that the motion sensor is not deactivated by the thermostat. 7. Go to the Configure device section in the left part of the Orion Service software window and choose the Motion sensor tab. Make sure that the service cable is plugged into the motion sensor and click the Activate LED button; see Figure 30. Figure 30 8. Walk around the room; the LED of the motion sensor will light up as motion is detected. Ensure that the range is sufficient to pick up motion in the room. The LED will be active for 10 minutes and then automatically turn off. 9. The system is now ready for use.
July 5, 2012 Page 31 of 49 66 8003 002-7 Appendix A: Orion Service connections The service device is connected to the server via LAN, and to the USB interface via a USB port. When communicating with a thermostat/motion sensor/RF door switch, a service cable is connected to the USB interface. There are two variants of USB interface. The appearance of the item is the same in both cases, but in Orion Service it looks different at ‘Serial port and host’ (see screenshots below) depending on what variant that is used. Note: For setup of the host server, see Server connections below. For more information about choosing serial port and server, see section Register PC in this appendix. • With the first variant, Orion Service accesses the USB interface through a virtual COM port. Drivers must be installed to enable the communication between service device and USB interface. The drivers are called CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) and can be downloaded for free from the Silicon Labs web site. They are also included on the software CD. Note: Installation of the drivers must be made before connecting the USB interface to the service device. Once the drivers have been installed, the USB interface must always be connected to the service device when Orion Service is running. • With the newer variant of USB interface, the communication between service device and USB interface is taken care of by the USBXpress driver. The USB interface is configured for this at delivery and no drivers need to be installed. The first connected USB interface will be called USB0, the second one USB1 etc. Note: The screenshots in this manual from now on only show the case with virtual COM port at ‘Serial port and host’ in the upper right corner.

July 5, 2012 Page 39 of 49 66 8003 002-7 Appendix C: Configuration in offline scenarios In Orion EMS offline scenarios, there is no connection to the VISIONLINE server. Either a wired thermostat or a thermostat controller and a battery thermostat is used. Each room can be seen as a PAN (personal area network) which is controlled by its wired thermostat or its thermostat controller, depending on what scenario that is applicable. The firmware in the wired thermostat or the thermostat controller is a coordinator firmware instead of a router firmware. The RFID lock in the configuration pictures above must be prepared in two ways: • it must be online with the in-room network; see the applicable one of sections Scenario with wired thermostat and Scenario with battery thermostat. • EMI events must be enabled in the lock. This can be done either with an Enable EMI events card or via Lock Service; see the applicable one of sections Enabling EMI events via card and Enabling EMI events via Lock Service. Note: The EMI events will be sent to the closest parent in the in-room network, since there is no connection to the VISIONLINE server. Figure C1: Offline scenario with wired thermostat Figure C2: Offline scenario with thermostat controller and battery thermostat
