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. 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.
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.
3.2 Thermostat The guest operates the thermostat, which depending on configuration communicates either • with the thermostat controller • directly with the VISIONLINE software/Orion EMS software and the devices within the room. OR 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.
3.2.2 Thermostat display Figure 3 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.
3.2.3 Thermostat dimensions Figure 4 shows the dimensions of the thermostat. The design allows the unit to be mounted onto a US or European single gang box.

Thermostat deadband Configurable 1 – 3 ºF; default is 2 ºF Heat cool switching deadband Configurable 2 – 4 ºF; default is 3 ºF Heat / cool switching Configurable to allow or disallow auto changeover of heat/cool.
3.4 Motion sensor The motion sensor is used to detect motion in the room and send this information via the ZigBee endnode to the thermostat. The device is designed to be ceiling or wall mounted and is powered by 3AA batteries. No physical connections are required; thus making the installation simple.
3.4.1 Motion sensor dimensions Dimensions in mm (inches) Figure 6 3.4.2 Motion sensor specifications Input power 3 AA batteries (4.
3.5 RF Door switch If VingCard online locks are not applicable at the installation, an RF door switch can instead be used for monitoring the position of the door. 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.
3.5.2 RF door switch magnet dimensions Note: The magnet must be mounted maximum 10 mm (25/64´´) from the door switch. Dimensions in mm (inches) Figure 8 3.5.
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.
4.1.1 Configuration with thermostat controller If the thermostat controller is used, the wiring harness is connected on the thermostat controller front.
4.1.2 Configuration without thermostat controller If no thermostat controller is used, the wiring harness is connected on the back of the thermostat.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4.5.2.2 Joining the in-room devices to the thermostat Next, the in-room devices must be joined to the thermostat, e.g. motion sensors and locks (or RF door switches, if this is applicable). 1. Plug the service cable into the thermostat. 2. Click the Permit Join button in the Configure device section of Orion Service; see Figure 24. Note: The thermostat will remain open for 15 minutes or until a Forbid Join command is received. Figure 24 3.
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.
4.6 Testing the in-room devices With the network successfully formed, it is now possible to test the devices to ensure proper functionality. 1. 2. 3. 4. Open and close the door. Engage and disengage the deadbolt. Walk around the room to ensure a motion event. Run an event log of the thermostat using the service device. To make this, plug the service cable into the thermostat, choose the Log section under Readout in the left part of the Orion Service window, choose the applicable No.
