1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. IRSC CONTROLLER Zennio IRSC controller allows controlling air conditioning systems with infrared receivers (such as splits, ducted units with an integrated infrared interface, etc). IRSC combines the following features in the same device: Control of the main functionalities of A/C units (On/Off, temperature, mode, fan speed, etc).
Air connector base (6): this is for inserting the air connector, through which the IR commands will be sent from IRSC to the split. Figure 1.3 shows the installation diagram of the IRSC IR emitter (5) in the clima unit. ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
To obtain a more detailed information about the technical features of IRSC, as well as security and installation information, please read the controller Datasheet, included in the original package of the device and also available at: http://www.zennio.com. 1.3. IRSC-ZONE APPLICATION PROGRAM...

All the concepts mentioned so far are explained in detail in section 3. ETS Parameterization. Moreover, for further details and for a complete application example, please refer to the Annexes of this manual. ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
Zennio´s homepage (http://www.zennio.com) contains a correspondence table where a certain number (from 0 to 255) is provided depending on the model of the A/C machine to be controlled.
Being ON implies the normal function of the zone, i.e., the automatic control of its airing grille and the inclusion of its setpoint temperature into the calculation process of the general setpoint temperature sent to the air conditioning machine. On the other hand, when a zone is ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...

When entering for the first time the parameter edition of IRSC-Zone, the following window will be shown: Figure 3.2. Configuration screen by default As seen in figure 3.2, the configuration screen is divided into the following main windows: ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
Model: sets a number (between 0 and 255) associated to the model of the A/C machine to be controlled (please consult the Correspondence Table at http://www.zennio.com). No. of Zones: selects how many zones are to be acclimatized (from 1 to 8). Depending on the number established here, 7 communication objects will appear associated to each zone (those associated to Zone 1 are enabled by default).
2.4. MODE The Mode window allows configuring features related to the operating mode of the A/C machine, which is made assuming that the A/C machine supports the selection of up to five working modes: ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
Page 13
IRSC-Zone behaves under this mode exactly as in “Fan” mode. As seen in Figure 3.3, the Mode window allows configuring the manner or manners that will permit commuting from one mode to another: ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...

Note: The algorithm for controlling the zone airing grilles (open/close) can be consulted in Annex II. In addition, section 3.5 and Annex III explain the calculation process of the general setpoint, based on the zone setpoint temperatures and the current working mode.

Step", which allows increasing (sending the value "1") or decreasing (value "0") the fan speed in one level (for example, under the minimum level of speed, if the value "1" is sent via this fan step object, the speed will become medium). ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
ºC, allowed for the Cool mode. This value must be in the range 16-30ºC. Heat mode Max. Temperature: establishes the maximum setpoint temperature, in ºC, allowed for the Heat mode. This value must be in the range 16-30ºC. ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...

A/C unit. Depending on the current working mode of the machine (Heat or Cool), this value will be added or subtracted, respectively, to the resultant temperature (after applying the restrictions and the comparison to returned temperature, if they apply). ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
Control type: permits selecting one of these options: 2-point control or PI control (PWM). 2-point Control Lower/Upper Hysteresis: the desired value, in tenths of a degree, for the lower and upper hysteresis, respectively. PI control (PWM) ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...

Cool, this control will be restarted and, typically, new sendings to the unit will take place, as well as, if needed, a change in the grille status. ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
To achieve an optimal acclimatization, it is recommended to install the external sensor in the inner side of the returning pipe, as closest as possible to the central A/C machine. ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...
Point Hysteresis control and PI (PWM modulation). As explained in section 3.6, if no thermostatic control has been enabled, the grilles will stay open as long as the zone is ON, and closed as long as it is OFF. ZENNiO AVANCE Y TECNOLOGÍA vwww.zennio.com...

From that moment on, IRSC-Zone will send the appropriate orders to the grilles in zones Z1 and Z2 (according to the parameterized algorithm for the thermostatic control for heating) so that the heat generated by the unit is conveniently directed to the zones depending on their setpoint and reference temperatures.
