Use

The HARS-C27 room controller integrates temperature control, energy management,

access control, light control, room safe control and the management of a hotel room, at
room level.

For operation, use is made of room operating unit, card reader, card holder, light
operating unit and a connection to the bus and power supply.

Functions

The room controllers are delivered with the standard application if not defined
specifically (the basic features are described in this data sheet).

The functions are determined according to standard application functions (if not
specified otherwise).

In special cases, the standard application may be overwritten with a definitive

customized application software. A commissioning and service tool is available for this
purpose.

Temperature control The following options can be implemented with fan-coil units:
• 4-pipe heating/cooling with 3-position or PWM valves output
• 2-pipe heating/cooling with 3-position or PWM valve output with changeover
• 2-pipe system with internal electric heating, 2-position or PWM valve output
and cooling with 3-position or PWM valve output
• 4-pipe heating via external radiator
and heating/cooling with 3-position or PWM valves output
• VRV/VRF indoor unit control (cooling/heating with fan speed control*)
• Auxiliary heating in bathroom, additional radiator or underfloor heating with
2-position, 3-position or PWM valve output
*VRV/VRF fan speed control is done via software application control (optional)

Room temperature setpoints:

• Centrally programmable room comfort temperature setpoint
• Individual setpoint adjustment of room comfort temperature setpoint in guest's room
• PreComfort setpoints when guest is absent
• Economy setpoints for free rooms (i.e. from which guests have checked out)
• Remote room temperature setpoint adjustment in rooms unoccupied for long periods

Energy-saving features:
• Energy management for individual room control system and lighting
based on room occupancy:
− Room occupied, guest in room
− Room occupied, guest absent
− Room vacant, not checked in
− Room out of use, i.e. during low season
• Summer/winter strategy
(i.e. avoid heating in summer and avoid cooling in winter)
• Fan coil unit disabled if window is opened

Mechanical design

The HARS-C27 controller consists of a housing base, a housing cover and a printed
circuit board with connection terminals.
The controller also has a tool socket.

Device label

Terminal covers Owing to the intrinsic heat generated by the

6314z04

controller, terminal covers must not be used,

STOP Caution
as this can cause overheating.
For the same reason, adequate air circulation
must be provided in the location where the
controller is installed.

Protection from To prevent accidental physical contact with relay connections carrying voltages in
physical contact excess of the SELV voltage range (Ueff > 42), the device must be fitted in a housing
(preferably a control panel). This enclosure must be accessible only by use of a key or
tool.

Alternatively, a commercially available contact guard can be used.

Connection terminals All terminals are plug-in type to ensure easier maintenance and commissioning.
To avoid incorrect wiring, terminals which can be connected to AC 230 V (supply and
relay outputs) are physically segregated from the other terminals. They are arranged so
that, under normal circumstances, all incoming and outgoing cables can be connected
without crossing.

Response in the event • If the management system or communication link fails, this will not affect local
of a fault operation
• External fuses are required for load operation power supply inputs
• The controller comes with a self-resetting thermal fuse to prevent overload damage.

Disposal

The device includes electrical and electronic components and must not be disposed of
as domestic waste.

Current local legislation must be observed.

Engineering notes

• 230VAC is required for the room controller power supply. This power supply should
be provided for all HARS-Cxx controllers through UPS or aggregate power supply
source
• Additional 230VAC is required for loads control power supply.
• All HARS-Cxx controllers are connected together via RS485 bus. A RS485/RS232
converter is installed on a central place between room controllers and PC. No more
than 128 controllers can be connected on the same BUS line. In practice BUS line is
divided onto logical areas (i.e. floors, dilatations, groups of rooms, etc.). Maximum
cable length for one BUS line is 1000 m.
• The room controller must be installed in a control panel or covered enclosure, which
can only be opened with a key or tool. Adequate air circulation must be ensured.
• The relevant technical, and health and safety regulations must be observed,
including local electricity company regulations applicable to connection of devices to
the electricity network.
• The management level PCs must be protected with a UPS (uninterruptible power
supply).

Building Technologies 01.10.2009
 • A mechanical safety lock must be provided to allow the doors to be opened from the
outside in extreme emergencies.

AC 230 V The sizing and fuse protection of the power supply cables depends on the total load
supply cables and on local regulations.

Relay outputs • Relay outputs allow switching of loads up to AC 250 V, 6 A. The cable dimensions
AC 230 V depend on the connected load and the local installation regulations. The circuits
must be externally fused (≤ 6 A), as there are no internal fuses.
• The output loads control power supply input X7 should be connected to mains
voltage 230 V if not otherwise specified.

STOP • Fan coils must not be connected in parallel (use cut-off relays).
Caution

Mounting instructions

The room controller can be mounted in any orientation, as follows:

Rail mounting
The housing base is designed for
snap-mounting on DIN rails, type EN 60175
(can be released with a screwdriver).

• The HARS-C27 room controller is installed in the corridor with other installed
devices, behind the plasterboard.
• There must be a means of dissipating the heat generated during operation.
Adequate air circulation must be ensured.
• Subject to certain conditions, the HARS-C27 room controller can be installed in
suspended ceilings. Potential noise problems caused by the switching of relays
should be resolved in a sample room.
• As installation is the same for all types of room (e.g. single rooms or suites), it is
recommended that a sample room should be set up for each room type, in
cooperation with the electrical installer.
• Ensure the room controller is accessible for commissioning and service work.
• The card holder is intended for fixed installation in a dry, enclosed space.
• Commissioning must be carried out by trained personnel only

STOP • Local safety and installation regulations must be observed!

Caution Observe the technical data for the relay outputs.

RS485 BUS
(Terminal block X1)

Wiring • LiYCY twisted pair type cable with 2 twisted pair for connection of the RS232/RS485
converter to all room controllers (includes 2 spare wires)

Room peripherals The following room devices can be connected to the room controller:
cables - card reader
- card holder
- room operating unit
- light operating unit

Wiring Cables:
8 x 0,14 mm2 flat telephone cable for:
- card reader
- room operating unit
- light operating unit
6 x 0,14 mm2 flat telephone cable for:
- card holder

STOP Adequate EMC precautions must be taken when installing the equipment.
Caution The room bus and room peripherals cables must not be routed in the same
conduit as high voltage conductors.

Commissioning

• During commissioning, the room controller address has to be set by using room
operator unit connected to its socket X11.
• The controller must be connected to the supply voltage for this purpose.
• In the case of customer-specific applications, the customized application software
must be downloaded from a service tool to service socket K1.
• The room controllers are already loaded with the standard application on delivery.
It is then only necessary to adjust the parameters with the commissioning software.
