    KLIC-PA 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 KLIC-PA KLIC-PA from Zennio is a gateway that provides full-duplex communication between the KNX home automation system and Panasonic air-conditioning systems through connection wires provided by the latter. Because of this bidirectional communication, the air conditioning system can be controlled from the home automation system in the same manner as it is through its own controls.

    5. KNX connector Figure 1. Element scheme. KLIC-PA connects to the KNX bus via the corresponding built-in terminal (5). Once the device is provided with power from the KNX bus, both the physical address and the KLIC- PA application program can be downloaded.
  • Page 5: Start-Up And Power Loss

    Important: if intending to control the A/C unit both through its incorporated wired remote control and through KLIC-PA, it must be taken into account that orders sent from the wired control will have a higher priority than those sent through KLIC-PA. In addition, certain parameterisations made in the device can be ignored.

    All inputs are disabled by default. Depending on the function selected for each input, additional tabs will be included in the menu on the left. 2.2.1 BINARY INPUT Please refer to the “Binary Inputs” user manual, available in the KLIC-PA product section, at the Zennio website (www.zennio.com). 2.2.2 TEMPERATURE PROBE Please refer to the “Temperature Probe”...

    KLIC-PA allows controlling and monitoring an air-conditioning unit in the same way it would be through the wired remote control it is provided with. Through the KNX bus, KLIC-PA can be sent orders to control the following basic functions of the air conditioning unit: •...
  • Page 12 These functionalities imply changes in the state of the A/C unit, which therefore notifies KLIC-PA periodically about the current state. When KLIC-PA is notified about a change, it updates the status objects and sends them to the KNX bus. In addition, KLIC-PA provides an error management function (see section 2.4.4), which allows sending messages to the KNX bus in case the A/C unit reports any errors.

  • Page 19 If during 3 minutes, no temperature values are received, values of the internal probe will be recuperated again to execute temperature control, in the same way as it will be controlled if KLIC-PA was configured disabling this option. If a new external temperature value is received, the control will be again executed by using this external value.

    Internal errors: errors in the communication process between KLIC-PA and the A/C unit: ➢ Communication error: KLIC-PA received no response of the A/C unit during 2 minutes. A notification led is available, so the LED of the device will shine in green when no response error is activated, and will turn off when this error disappears.
  • Page 26 KLIC-PA and the status will be the previous to the error activation. • Errors in the A/C unit: errors reported by the A/C unit itself. KLIC-PA can notify the KNX bus about the reported error code, although referring to the specific documentation of the A/C unit is advisable in order to obtain further information.
