1. Introduction
Energy is a large cost for hotels, and EMS (
Energy Management System
) is a way
of achieving energy savings in guest rooms. With the Orion EMS software option
to Visionline it is possible to
view the Orion EMS status of different rooms
modify the configurable parameters for a room/group of rooms/entire property)
provide alarm conditions
provide energy savings reports
provide preventative maintenance reports
This manual
describes how to install the Orion EMS (
Energy Management System
) option
and if applicable an Orion EMS client; see
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
describes how to install the Orion EMS devices;
chapter 3
describes how to set up a thermostat profile;
chapter 4
describes how to commission the Orion EMS devices in an online network;
chapter 5
Note:
For daily operations when the system is in use, see
Daily use manual Orion High
Voltage Thermostat
. In that document, more information about SysMon (
System Monitor
)
features is also found. For more information about the Orion Service software, see
Quick
reference guide Orion Service
.
A main task for Orion EMS is to determine whether or not a guest room is physically
occupied. When a room is not occupied, Orion EMS controls the HVAC (
Heating
Ventilation and Air Conditioning
) systems based on the configurable settings of
the system. The items used together with Orion EMS are:
digital thermostat
Orion High Voltage Thermostat
; in the rest of this document
simply called 'thermostat'
motion sensor
Note:
The thermostat has a built-in motion sensor, but in some cases
(depending on the location of the
Orion High Voltage Thermostat
in the room)
it can be necessary to use an external motion sensor in addition.
door monitoring device; lock, switch
gateway (the same as is used for online doors; requires the
Online
option which
is also installed according to
section 2.1
)
Note:
The gateway is not used in offline scenarios; see
Appendix D
for details.
Note:
For each room number, it is possible to have
one wired thermostat
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 online network as the thermostat and the motion sensor.
