Page 4: Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 THE IRSC CONTROLLER The IRSC controller from Zennio is aimed at controlling air conditioning systems featuring infrared receivers (such as splits, ducted units with an integrated infrared interface, etc) through the emulation of their IR remote control systems. Therefore,... - Page 5 IRSC Plus Once the controller is provided with power from the KNX bus, both the physical address and the associated application program may be downloaded. In Figure 2, the connection scheme of IRSC is shown. 1.- KNX Connector. 2.- Programming LED.

Page 6: The Irsc Plus Application Program
Important note: there are two available versions of IRSC Plus: 6.12 and 8.0. Please, check if the remote control wanted to be emulated with IRSC Plus is available for the version in use. This information is available in the Correspondence Table for IRSC Plus at www.zennio.com. -
Page 7: Configuration
IRSC Plus 2 CONFIGURATION The IRSC Plus application program permits controlling air conditioning systems from different manufacturers as if they were being controlled through the infrared remote control of the machine. A correspondence table is available at the Zennio homepage (http://www.zennio.com) with the codes (from 0 to 255) corresponding to the different remote controls that can be emulated. -
Page 8: Ets Parameterisation
To begin with the parameterisation process of the IRSC controller it is necessary, once the data base of the product (IRSC Plus application program) has been imported to ETS, to add the device to the project where desired. After that, one right-click on the device will permit selecting "Edit parameters", in order to start the configuration. - Page 9 IRSC Plus Mode Received value Auto 1% - 33% Middle 34% - 66% Maximum > 66% Table 1. Fan Speed Fan [1 bit], aimed to receive orders from the bus to speed up (value “1”) or down (value “0”) the current air flow. This allows stepping through the different fan speed levels sequentially, which will be reflected in the value of the fan status object, if enabled (see section 3.3).

Page 11: General Parameters
Min. Time set Between two Consecutive IR Messages: allows establishing a minimum time gap (in tenths of a second) between consecutive IR commands sent from IRSC Plus to the A/C system (or split), thus restricting the rate of these commands and ensuring the proper reception of all of them. -
Page 12: Status
“R” flag enabled by default, making it possible to perform read requests over them). Doing so implicitly makes IRSC Plus confirm the reception of the orders it receives from the KNX bus, so that after transmitting the IR commands to the A/C machine, IRSC Plus also sends the corresponding status objects to the bus, thus reflecting whether the state has been changed or not as requested. -
Page 13: Reset - Initial Configuration
From the “Reset (initial configuration)” and the “Reset (data update)” tabs, the integrator will be able to set the desired response to be performed by IRSC Plus upon KNX power losses as well as the initial status after a download or a device reset from ETS. - Page 14 IRSC Plus will assume ON/OFF=Off, Temperature=25ºC, Mode=Cool, Fan=0%, Swing=Stopped. Note: although IRSC Plus assumes the status it had before the bus power loss, if during the interruption the A/C machine is externally manipulated or is also affected by the power loss (most models do not automatically switch on after a power loss), inconsistence between IRSC and the A/C unit may occur.
- Page 15 IRSC Plus ON/OFF: after a bus failure, a download or a device reset, the A/C system it will be possible to send the A/C system an order to recover the last saved status before the power loss or be switched off or on.

KNX bus, so that other KNX devices are informed about the (new or not) state of the IRSC Plus controller (and thus, of the state sent to –or assumed in– the A/C system) after a bus interruption, a download or a device reset. -
Page 17: Scenes
Important: if this sending is not enabled, the KNX bus will definitively not be informed about the initial status of IRSC Plus, no matter if it is a custom status or the status it already had before the bus failure (see Section 3.4). - Page 18 IRSC Plus Figure 9. Scenes Window After selecting the option "Yes" for "Scenes (will scenes be used?)", the "Scenes [1 byte]" object will be shown. This is the object intended to receive from the KNX bus the scene activation orders.

IRSC Plus Fan: permits selecting whether, on the execution of the scene, the fan level of the A/C system should be set to a certain value (Auto, Low, Medium, High) or left as is (“No change”).

(in seconds) that the window must remain open before the A/C system switches off. This way, once IRSC Plus receives through the "Window sensor" object the value "1" (value associated to the "open window" event) it will wait for the configured waiting period and then it will send a switch-off order to the A/C system. -
Page 21: Presence Detector
Also the "Waiting Period" parameter becomes visible, and defines the time period (in minutes) that IRSC Plus should wait after receiving the value "0" (empty room) through the detection object before switching the A/C unit off. As soon as the "Presence detection" object receives the value "1", IRSC Plus considers the room is again occupied, so if the value "0"... -
Page 22: Annex I. Diagnosing The Ir Transmitter
IRSC Plus ANNEX I. DIAGNOSING THE IR TRANSMITTER This annex describes a method for testing that the IRSC Plus built-in infrared transmitter is working and therefore is properly emulating the remote control of the air conditioning unit and, thus, sending the corresponding orders to the unit. - Page 23 IRSC Plus is behaving anomalously or not. Important: it is highly advisable to locate the IRSC Plus infrared transmitter in front of the optimal reception point in the receiver. In case of using an ACTinBOX actuator as a receiver, the transmitter should be directly attached to the device housing.

IRSC Plus ANNEX II. COMMUNICATION OBJECTS “Functional range” shows the values that, with independence of any other values permitted by the bus according to the object size, may be of any use or have a particular meaning because of the specifications or restrictions from both the KNX standard or the application program itself. - Page 25 IRSC Plus 1 Byte C - - W U DPT_SceneControl 0-63; 128-191 Scenes [1byte] 0-63(Run(1-64));128-191(Learn) 1 Bit C - R W U DPT_Enable Disable Device 0=Normal Running, 1=Disabled 1 Bit C - R W U DPT_Start Fixed Auto-OFF [1bit] 1=Sw.OFF after "param. value"...
