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.

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.
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
2. Enter the option code and click

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.

3.2 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:

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.
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

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.
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.

Table 3
The Orion EMS thermostat is a low voltage (12-24 VAC / 15-24 VDC) 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:
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.
Do not connect the Orion EMS thermostat directly to high voltage as this will destroy the thermostat.
