2 Safety
Safety notes
Symbols are used in this manual to alert readers to
areas of potential hazard. Signal words express the
degree of the hazard.
DANGER!
Imminently hazardous situation which is due to
live components and which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury due to electrical
voltage.
DANGER!
Imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE!
Potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property damage.
ENVIRONMENT!
Environmental pollution hazard.
Correct use
EM-LON provides a LonWorks interface for
EASYLAB base components.
Use the expansion module only for an EASYLAB
TCU3 controller or a TAM adapter module.
Incorrect use
Do not use the expansion module for areas of appli-
cation that are not described in this manual.
Do not use the expansion module:
outdoors
in wet areas
in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
Residual risks
Failure of the network interface does not affect the
control function of the volume flow controller but
does affect data exchange with the central BMS.
Additional safety measures are required for safety-
relevant applications.
Safety signs
The following symbols and signs are usually found
in the work area. They apply to the very location
where they are found.
Electrical voltage
Location where a hazard due to electrical voltage
exists.
Earthing
This symbol marks all equipotential bonding con-
nection points on EM-LON.

Residual risks
EM-LON is a state-of-the-art product and meets
current safety requirements. Residual risks cannot
be excluded, however, and you should proceed with
caution.
Always observe the safety notes provided in the fol-
lowing chapters of this manual to reduce health
hazards and prevent any hazardous situations.
Electric current
DANGER!
Danger of death due to electric current!
Danger of death if live components are touched.
– Switch off the supply voltage and secure it
against being switched on again before
working on the unit.
–Only skilled qualified electricians are allowed
to work on live components.
– Equipotential bonding is required.
Risk of damage to property
Temperature differences
NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to large tem-
perature differences
If EM-LON has been kept in an unheated area,
condensation may form and damage the elec-
tronic components beyond repair.
– Let EM-LON warm up to room temperature
before you install it.
Electrostatic charge
NOTICE!
Risk of damage to property due to electro-
static charge
Electrostatic charge can damage the electronics
of the expansion module.
– Before you remove the expansion module
from its protective wrapping, touch an equi-
potentially bonded metal surface, e.g. a
water pipe, for electrical earthing.
–Avoid skin contact with any components or
printed circuits on the expansion module or
the main PCB.
– Wear conductive footwear and antistatic
clothing.
System owner's responsibility
System owner's obligations
EM-LON is intended for commercial use. The
system owner is therefore subject to the legal obli-
gations of occupational health and safety regula-
tions.
In addition to the safety notes in this manual, the
applicable regulations for safety, accident preven-
tion and environmental protection must also be
complied with.
Qualified staff
Qualification
The work described in this manual has to be carried
out by individuals with the qualification, training,
knowledge and experience described below:
Network administrator

Skilled qualified electrician
Skilled qualified electricians are individuals who
have sufficient professional or technical training,
knowledge and actual experience to enable them to
work on electrical systems, understand any poten-
tial hazards related to the work under consideration,
and recognise and avoid any risks involved.
Any work has to be carried out by individuals who
can be expected to carry out their assigned duties
reliably. Individuals whose reaction time is delayed
due to alcohol, drugs or other medication must not
carry out any work.

Structure and functional description
Expansion module EM-LON 7

Functional description
Expansion module EM-LON provides the EASYLAB
base components (controller TCU3 or adapter
module TAM) with a LonWorks interface to link
rooms or individual volume flow controllers to the
central BMS.
The LonWorks interface supports the EASYLAB
room operating mode scheme. It is possible to set
operating mode defaults in order to control different
volume flow rates for daytime and night-time opera-
tion; it is also possible to increase or reduce the air
change rate by a certain amount (volume flow rate
setpoint change), e.g. to influence the room temper-
ature.
Using the LonWorks interface, an individual alarm
management system can be set up by consolidating
configurable EASYLAB alarms. The interface also
enables the transfer of actual operating values such
as volume flow rates and damper blade position for
a controller or for all controllers in a room.
The PCB contains terminals for the LonWorks net-
work and a service pin push button with indicator
light.
The expansion module is mounted with a header to
the main PCB of the EASYLAB base component.
To simplify diagnosis during commissioning the
expansion module is equipped with two additional
indicator lights that indicate data traffic on the Lon-
Works interface.
Standard network variables are used for the com-
munication within the LonWorks infrastructure.
These variables ensure unambiguous data
exchange between the nodes.
For commissioning, it is necessary to link the net-
work variables between the nodes (binding). Project
software is used to link the outputs of a node to the
inputs of other nodes.
