EVORA Series Datasheet
Overview
The EVORA family of switches offers an elegantly designed, easy to use,
feature-rich user interface and control system providing a state-of-the-art
guestroom automation experience. EVORA allows guest control of multiple
lighting loads, temperature, drapes, and guest annunciation from multiple
switch locations in the guestroom. EVORA offers three different user interface
modules and multiple different Load Assemblies that include wired and
wireless communications, dimmers, and programmable controls designed to
operate within INNCOM’s Integrated Room Automation System (IRAS). The
EVORA system brings all guestroom control features into a sleekly designed
traditional keypad user interface.

• Up to 7 key configurations with up to 5 position key pad for programmable control of any IRAS feature
• Nightlight configuration with 2 key positions
• Doorbell configuration with 2 key positions
• Optional multifunction key for up to 10 grouped features per device
• Backlight illuminated keys and text
• TRIAC dimmer

• Software programmable for any CBL feature
Application
EVORA was developed to extend INNCOM switch capabilities beyond those offered in the well-established SSeries (S217 and S5XX) product families and the innovative MODEVA series. The EVORA series uses a modular,
cross functional hardware platform that allows each of the three main products (multifunctional switch,
nightlight, and doorbell ) to share features in both hardware and software that were previously available only as
uniquely designed sub-assemblies in the legacy S-Series products.
EVORA has at its core the same Load Assembly (WBI) architecture used by INNCOM’s MODEVA line. The Load
Assembly is available in six configurations—500W relay, 500W TRIAC dimmer, 350W FET dimmer, 30A master
contactor, 200mA power supply, and a low-voltage adapter (LVA)—that provide the mechanical platform and load
bearing capability for the EVORA system. The EVORA series differs from MODEVA in several ways. It uses a
E V O R A D a t a s h e e t P a g e 2 o f 1 0
standard dimension mounting bracket, for instance, allowing EVORAs to be ganged with other products (similar to
the S-Series). EVORA products come factory assembled.
Categories of Load Assembly Load Switching
• TRIAC dimmer provides dimming control of resistive light loads such as incandescent, halogen, and
TRIAC dimmable LEDs. The TRIAC dimmer can dim 100–120VAC loads up to 500W.
• FET dimmer dims capacitive loads such as dimmable fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts. It can also
dim resistive loads such as incandescent, halogen, and dimmable LEDs. The FET dimmer is designed to
dim 100–120VAC up to 350W.
• Relay power supply switches capacitive, inductive, resistive, and general purpose loads up to 500W.
• Master contactor controls 30A relay at 120–240VAC.
• 200mA power supply used for applications where EVORA must be line powered but does not require
load dimming or switching.
• Low-voltage adapter allows the EVORA products to run in a +12VDC powered device that does not
actuate a load. This is very similar to the legacy S5XX product.
Load Assembly Parallel Power Supplies
The WBI actuators operate in parallel to supply a higher load capacity on the +12VDC rail than that achievable by a
single actuator. The total output power of the actuators in parallel is based on the voltage specifications at maximum
load versus the output current at maximum load and nominal recovery time after a foldback condition occurs. This
design can aggregate up to 6 actuators into a system that permits up to a combined 990mA (~1A) +12VDC output.
See Class 2 Output table below.
Additional Load Assembly Technical Features
• Air-gap relay required (for dimmers meeting UL 508). Where solid state dimmers are used, disengages
the load from the line power in the event that a failed actuator causes a short or a closed circuit (as with a
FET dimmer), a possible electric shock risk during routine maintenance or lamp replacement.
• Additional overload detection circuit for FET dimmer that senses a catastrophic overload / short and
shuts down the dimmer to protect the solid state circuitry.
• Dimming linearization curve may be set by application engineer to calibrate the duty cycle of a Pulse
Width Modulated signal driving the various lamp types that could be used.
• Self contained actuator that can be used without the user interface. This is useful during installation (with
EVORA) and in repair to isolate symptoms related specifically to the actuator.
Load Assembly Installation
Locate the fuse panel and remove fuses or ensure the breaker is in the OFF position before installing the Load
Assembly.
1. Pull the class-2 wires for Ground (Brown), +12VDC (Red) and S5bus (Orange) and digital inputs into the
wall box (See Wiring Diagrams). Make the connections using a dolphin DC-1000P Super B connector or
equivalent type connector to the S5bus or digital input harnesses and connect them to the appropriate
header on the Load Assembly.
2. Prepare the line voltage wiring by stripping back the insulation 16mm (5/8th inch).
3. Connect the Green (Earth) Cable attached to the Load Assembly Strap to Earth.

4. Wire the Load Assembly as described in the Wiring Diagrams. Depending on gang assembly using the
appropriate 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18 AWG wire nut.
5. Push all wires back into the wall box and fasten the control to the wall box using the supplied mounting
screws. Be sure not to pinch or disconnect any of the wires.
6. Ensure the intended load(s) are connected to the circuit.
7. Replace the fuses in the fuse panel or move the breaker to ON before continuing.
Note: EVORA self test may require that an I/O map is configured. The following steps are general
guidance only. Installers should refer to the property-specific install and commissioning
documents for further guidance.
8. Allow the EVORA switch to power up. To verify power, observe whether indicator light or backlight
illuminate or blink.
9. Testing EVORA depends on the specific software configuration.
10. The EVORA User Interface will display start up behavior (refer to the property-specific installation and
commissioning guide(s) and then enter a self test mode for the first 20 seconds of operation.

In double and triple configurations, refer to the wiring diagram for S5bus and digital input connections. Daisy
chaining is required only if all EVORA units need to be on the same S5bus or a parallel power design is needed
for higher load capacity (See Class 2 Output table below).
Master Contactor
Use for master contactor applications up to 30A. This assembly requires an external +12VDC source.

The Load Assembly has been designed to provide +12VDC power to devices connected to the S5bus. The Load
Assemblies can operate in parallel to supply a higher total load capacity than that achievable by a single Load
Assembly. However, the total output is derated as per the table below for accommodating the stability of the
power supply circuitry. The total available output power must be shared with the EVORA User Interface. Refer to
