2.3. Link with Home Automation system

This gateway supports one IP connection to communicate with the home automation hub or central controller but allows to communicate with several AC units. To identify the ac unit to control from the Home Automation side, WMP protocol has implemented the acnum parameter. Basically, this parameter links the home automation side identifying the AC unit to control in the AC system.

Given an AC unit, all its individual signals have one unique acnum and this number is always different among all the ac units configured in the gateway. Only in some specific cases, outdoor units might share the acnum with one indoor unit as the commands are independent between themselves.

Acnum is given in the configuration section. See 4.2.5 HITACHI CONFIGURATION for more information.

3. Connections

Find below information regarding the Intesis connections available.

Power Supply

Must use NEC Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS) and SELV rated power supply.

If using DC power supply:

Respect polarity applied of terminals (+) and (-). Be sure the voltage applied is within the range admitted (check table below). The power supply can be connected to earth but only through the negative terminal, never through the positive terminal.

If using AC power supply:

Make sure the voltage applied is of the value admitted (24 Vac). Do not connect any of the terminals of the AC power supply to earth, and make sure the same power supply is not supplying any other device.

Ethernet / Home Automation (WMP) / Console (UDP & TCP)

Connect the cable coming from the IP network to the connector ETH of the gateway. Use an Ethernet CAT5 cable. If communicating through the LAN of the building, contact the network administrator and make sure traffic on the port used is allowed through all the LAN path (check the gateway user manual for more information). Default IP is 192.168.100.246. DHCP is enabled by default.

PortA / H-Link Hitachi

Connect the H-Link terminals (TB2) of Hitachi Outdoor Unit to the connectors A3 and A4 of gateway’s PortA. There is no polarity to be respected.

PortB / Free Console Port

Connect a mini-type B USB cable from your computer to the gateway to allow communication between the Configuration Software and the gateway. Remember that Ethernet connection is also allowed. Check the user manual for more information.
