KLIC-DD 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 KLIC-DD KLIC-DD is a Zennio interface that allows bidirectional communication between a KNX domotic system and residential air-conditioning units. Due to its bidirectional communication, the air conditioning unit can be controlled in the same way as using a remote control and the real status of the air-conditioning unit is checked and sent to the KNX bus for its monitoring.
KLIC-DD 1.2 INSTALLATION KLIC-DD interface connects to the KNX bus via the bus connecting terminals (1). On the other hand, this device is connected to the internal unit PCB, using a special 5- wire cable with S21 connectors provided in the original device packaging (4).

KLIC-DD ➢ Blinking red: KLIC-DD is in secure mode (the LED blinks red every 0.5 seconds). ➢ Blinking green: communication data from A/C unit to KLIC-DD. ➢ Blinking blue: communication data from KLIC-DD to A/C unit. Communication cable: 5-wire cable to connect KLIC-DD to the PCB board (S21) of the inner unit of the A/C unit.
2 CONFIGURATION 2.1 BASIC CONTROL With KLIC-DD, the air-conditioning unit can be monitored and controlled the same way it is done with the infrared remote control provided with it. By means of the KNX bus, the following basic functionalities of the air conditioning unit...

KLIC-DD Temperature limitation: A/C units are limited in temperature for each operating mode by default. This functionality allows configuring custom temperature ranges, via parameter, in such way that the setpoint temperature will remain in that range. In case of receiving from the KNX bus a temperature command with a value out of the configured limits, the temperature value sent to the machine will be the corresponding limit value.

This functionality consists on a periodical analysis of the difference between the current temperature and the setpoint temperature. If KLIC-DD detects a more than 1ºC difference between them, it will readjust the setpoint temperature value adding it the difference with current temperature.
A/C unit: ON/OFF, Temperature, Mode, Fan and Swing. When entering for the first time to the parameters edition of KLIC-DD, the following window will be shown: http://www.zennio.com...

KLIC-DD Figure 4. Configuration screen by default. As it can be seen in Figure 4, the configuration screen has 3 main windows: General: to individually enable each of the advanced functionalities of the A/C machine. Mode: to configure features related to the operating mode of the A/C machine.
Humidify Dehumidify Indoor Unit. The conventional model includes all the A/C residential machines compatible with the KLIC-DD interface. If the second option is chosen, it will appear several communication objects related to the specific functionality of this A/C model. Moreover, during all the parameterization, several options with regard to this model will be shown (named in ETS as *Humidify Dehumidify Indoor Unit).

KLIC-DD For every enabled scene, the parameters that may be configured are the following: Scene number. It indicates the scene number (from 1 to 64) to which the corresponding configured orders will be sent to the A/C machine. ON/OFF. Possibility to choose the A/C machine status: No change, OFF or ON.
The air conditioning unit has defined upper and lower temperature limits that cannot be exceeded. Nevertheless, KLIC-DD offers the possibility of establishing new temperature limits if they are specified within the A/C unit predefined limits (please, llok up the A/C unit manual).
3.2.5 ERRORS MANAGEMENT The errors management window allows enabling sending messages to the bus indicating any error that may arise: internal errors of the communication between KLIC-DD and the A/C unit, or external errors (errors in the own A/C unit).
KLIC-DD Internal errors: when enabling this option, two new communication objects appear: "Internal error", 1-bit object and "Type of internal error", 1-byte object. The first one indicates if an internal error has occurred (value "1": there is an error, value "0": there is not). The second object indicates the code that identifies the error (numerical value between 1 and 4.

KLIC-DD Mode: Last, auto, heat, dry, fan, cool or humidify (only for Humidify Dehumidify models). Fan: Last, auto, minimum, medium or maximum. Swing: Last, both stopped, normal swing. And the options for Humidify Dehumidify Indoor Units: Extra swing or both swing.
1ºC variation), KLIC-DD continues monitoring. If the ambient temperature is stable during the analyze period (maximum variation 1ºC), KLIC-DD considers that this is the temperature that the indoor unit will reach with the current setpoint. In this case, this temperature is compared with the setpoint temperature and, if there is a difference greater than 1ºC, the setpoint temperature is adjusted by calculating a new modified...

KNX bus, and to send the results through other communication objects specifically enabled for this purpose. KLIC-DD can implement up to 5 different and independent functions, each of them entirely customisable and consisting in up to 4 consecutive operations each one.
KLIC-DD 3.3 MODE WINDOW As seen in section 3.1. Default configuration, the specific Mode window allows configuring featured regarding to the operating mode of the A/C machine. Figure 12. Mode window. Individual modes: when selecting this option, 10 new 1-bit communication objects will be shown.
KLIC-DD 3.4 FAN WINDOW In this window it can be configured several features related to the fan speed of the A/C machine. Figure 13. Fan window. Number of levels: this option allows configuring the number of fan levels the A/C unit has. These may be 3 or 5 levels. The fan speed has associated two 1-byte objects: "Fan [1 Byte] Sending"...

KLIC-DD ANNEX I. 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.
