1INTRODUCTION
1.1 KLIC-SG
KLIC-SG from Zennio is a gateway that enables full-duplex communication between
the KNX home automation system and indoor range Samsung air-conditioning
systems through the 2-wire connection 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. Moreover, the actual status of the unit can be monitored and periodically sent
to the KNX bus to inform other devices.
The most outstanding features of KLIC-SG are:
Bidirectional control of indoor Samsung A/C units (IDU) through the
connection wires provided F3/F4.
Control of the main functions of indoor Samsung A/C unit: On/Off,
temperature, mode of operation, fan speed, etc.
Error management to handle specific error codes from the A/C unit itself as
well as any communication issues that may arise.
2 analogue-digital inputs, for the connection of temperature probes, motion
detectors or binary pushbuttons or switches.
10 customisable, multi-operation logic functions.
Up to five scenes.
Heartbeat or periodic “still-alive” notification.

1.2 INSTALLATION
KLIC-SG connects to the KNX bus via the corresponding built-in terminal (5). Once the
device isprovided withpowerfrom the KNXbus, both the physicaladdress and the KLIC-
SG application program can be downloaded.
This device does not need any external power as it is entirely powered through the KNX
bus.
The remaining elements are described next.
Prog./Test button (2): a short press on this button will set the device into the
programming mode, making the associated LED (1) light in red.
Note: if this button is held while plugging the device into the KNX bus, the
device will enter into safe mode. The LED will blink in red every 0.5 seconds
Analogue-Digital Inputs (4): input ports for the stripped cables of external
elements such as switches, motion detectors, temperature probes, etc.
F3/F4 Communication (3): 2-wire communication cable that will connect
KLIC-SG to the A/C unit. The other end of the cable, therefore, is intended to
be connected to the F3/F4 connector in the PCB board of the internal unit.

For detailed information about the technical features of KLIC-SG, as well as on security
and installation procedures, please refer to the device Datasheet, bundled in the device
packaging and also available at www.zennio.com.
1.3 START-UP AND POWER LOSS
Depending on the configuration, some specific actions will be performed during the
device start-up. The integrator may set up an initial status to be sent to the A/C unit after
the bus power restored, as well as the sending of certain objects to the KNX bus, as
described in later sections.
On the other hand, when a bus power failure takes place, the device will interrupt any
pending actions, and will save its state so it can be recovered once the power supply is
restored.

2CONFIGURATION
2.1 GENERAL
The general configuration of the device consists in enabling the specific functionalities
that will be required during normal operation:
Heartbeat or periodic “still-alive” notification.
Inputs.
Logic functions.
A/C gateway.
The latter entails all functions specific to KLIC-SG, i.e., all the functions related to
interfacing with the A/C unit and to the management of the climate control system.
ETS PARAMETRISATION
After importing the corresponding database in ETS and adding the device into the
topology of the desired project, the configuration process begins by entering the
Parameters tab of the device.
The General screen is shown in the first place, containing the following parameters:
Figure 3. General.

: enables the “A/C Gateway” tab in the tree on the left.
For more information, see section 2.2.
Inputs [disabled/enabled]: enables or disables the “Inputs” tab in the tree on
the left, depending on whether the device will or will not be connected any
external accessories. For more information, see section 0.
Logic Functions [disabled/enabled]: enables or disables the “Logic Functions”
tab in the tree on the left. For more information, see section 2.3.
Heartbeat (Periodic Alive Notification): this parameter lets the integrator
incorporate a 1-Bit object to the project (“[Heartbeat] Object to Send ‘1’”) that
will be sent periodically with value “1” to notify that the device is still working
(still alive).
Note: the first sending after download or bus failure takes place with a delay
of up to 255 seconds, to prevent bus overload. The following ones match the
period set.
Figure 4. Heartbeat.
Regardless of the above parameters, the following objects are available by default:
“[AC] On/Off” and “[AC] On/Off (Status)”: allow switching on (value “1”) and
off (value “0”) the A/C unit or reading the current status, respectively.
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint” and “[AC] Temperature Setpoint (Status)”:
allow setting the desired temperature setpoint or reading the current value,
respectively. See section 2.2.1 for further options.

2.2 A/C GATEWAY
2.2.1 CONFIGURATION
KLIC-SG 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-SG can be sent orders to control the following basic
functions of the air conditioning unit:
On/Off switch of the air-conditioning unit.
Operation mode: automatic, heating, cooling, fan and dry.
Temperature setpoint, which can be modified within a 16-30ºC range.
Fan speed: 3 or 4 levels, depending on the model of the A/C unit.
Moreover, KLIC-SG allows configuring several advanced functions:
Simplified Operation Mode, which allows switching between heating and
cooling operation modes by means of a 1-bit object.
Fan, which allows advanced configuration of the ventilation, see section 2.2.2.
Temperature measured by the AC unit, which allows enabling an object
which provides the value of the internal temperature probe. The automatic
sending can be configured based on: a period of time, a change in value or a
combination of both.
External reference temperature, which allows enabling an object to use an
external reference temperature, provided by a temperature probe.
Setpoint limits, to restrict the range for the temperature setpoint.
Automatic off, which allows an automatic and temporary switch-off of the unit
(after a pre-established delay, if desired) when the communication object
associated to this function is triggered due to a certain event.

KLIC-SG
https://www.zennio.com Technical Support: https://support.zennio.com
11
Initial configuration, which allows establishing the desired initial parameters
for the state of the A/C unit after programming or restarting the device.
Scenes, which allows defining predefined climate control environments, to be
sent to the machine on the reception of scene orders from the KNX bus.
Operation time, provides in hours and/or seconds the A/C unit operating time.
Wireless Remote Control Restriction, which allows to disable wireless
controller.
Filter, which allows to know the filter status of the A/C Unit.
Ionizer, which allows to activate the air purification function.
These functionalities imply changes in the state of the A/C unit, which therefore notifies
KLIC-SG periodically about the current state. When KLIC-SG is notified about a change,
it updates the status objects and sends them to the KNX bus. In addition, KLIC-SG
provides an error management function (see section 2.2.5), which allows sending
messages to the KNX bus in case the A/C unit reports any errors.
Important: the functionality parametrised in KLIC-SG shall match the available
functionality offered by the IDU, to prevent potential undesired behaviours.

KLIC-SG allows controlling the A/C unit operating mode through the following objects,
available by default:
“[AC] Mode”: 1-Byte object which allows selecting the A/C unit operation
mode. There will be only taken in account values that are appropriated with
some of available modes in Samsung units, which are represented in Table 1.
“[AC] Mode (status)”: 1-Byte object which allows knowing the A/C unit
operating mode status.

Additionally, a simplified mode can be configured to select Cooling and Heating mode.
Simplified Mode (Only Cooling/Heating) [disabled/enabled]: in addition to
the “Mode” and “Mode (Status)” 1-Byte objects, available by default, it is
possible to commute and to verify the current operation mode through the
following 1-Bit objects, which get enabled after activating this parameter:
“Simplified Mode”, which allows switching to the Cooling mode by
sending it a “0” and to the Heating mode by sending it a “1”.
“Simplified Mode (Status)”, which will send a value of “0” when the mode
switches to Cooling or to Dry, or a value of “1” when it switches to Heating.
The Fan and Auto modes are not reflected in the value of this object.

Fan [disabled/enabled]: enables the “Fan” tab, for advanced configuration of
the fan functions. See section 2.2.2.
TEMPERATURE MEASURED BY THE A/C UNIT
Figure 8. A/C Gateway. Configuration. Temperature measured by the A/C unit.
Monitoring [disabled/enabled]: enables the “[AC] AC Unit Measured
Temperature” two-byte object, which provides the value of its internal
temperature sensor, which is used by the AC machine to execute the control
loop. Once enabled, a secondary parameter will show:
Sending Type [Variation / Periodic / Periodic + Variation]: sets whether the
above object should be sent only in case of a change in the value,
periodically in both cases, respectively. The latter two options bring entail
one more parameter:
Period [1…3600][s] [1…15…1440][min] [1…24][h]: sets the cycle time
for the periodic sending.
REFERENCE TEMPERATURE
Figure 9. A/C Gateway. Configuration. Reference temperature.
External Reference Temperature Object [disabled/enabled]: enables the
“[AC] External Reference Temperature” 2-Byte object, which provides the
value of an external temperature sensor, which is used by the AC machine as
the reference to execute the control loop.

KLIC-SG
https://www.zennio.com Technical Support: https://support.zennio.com
15
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-SG was configured disabling this option. If
a new external temperature value is received, the control will be executed
again by using this external value. The range of values allowed for this object
is [0-70] ºC, if different values are received, they will be ignored.
TEMPERATURE SETPOINT
The following objects to control and supervise setpoint temperature will be available by
default:
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint”: 2-Byte object to select decimal temperature
values that belong to the range [16º-30º].
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint (Status)”: 2-Byte object that provides the
temperature setpoint status.
Note: A X.Y value will be rounded to X.0 if [Y < 5] or to X.5 if [Y ≥ 5].
Status object will be updated to the last setpoint temperature value received by the A/C
unit after a complete communication cycle and will be sent to KNX bus every time that
its value changes.
Last setpoint temperature that was set in either mode, will be stored and sent to the
machine each time the operation mode is changed. Thus, a change in the setpoint
temperature is done exclusively for the current operation mode of the machine.
Setpoint limits can be configured by parameter:
Setpoint Limits [disabled/enabled]:allows restricting the range of the
temperature setpoint (from below in the Cooling and Auto modes and from
above in the Heating and Auto modes), provided that the limits are still within
the predefined limits of the A/C unit.When KLIC-SG receives an order to send
the A/C unit a setpoint which is greater (or lower) than the configured limits, it
will actually send the limit value.
Minimum (Cooling / Auto Mode) [16...18…30] ºC: sets the upper limit.
Maximum (Heating / Auto Mode) [16...30] ºC: sets the lower limit.

Figure 10.A/C Gateway. Configuration. Temperature setpoint.
Once these limits are enabled, several objects to modify them at run time will be
available. The values of this objects will be restricted to an interval which is defined by
the absolute limits established by the A/C unit (16ºC to 30ºC).
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint: Lower Limit”: 2-Byte object that allows
changing the lower limit at run time.
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint: Lower Limit (Status)”: 2-Byte object with the
lower limit current value.
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint: Upper Limit”: 2-Byte object that allows
changing the upper limit at run time.
“[AC] Temperature Setpoint: Upper Limit (Status)”: 2-Byte object with the
upper limit current value.
Notes:
If [Minimum] ≥ [Maximum], limits will not be taken in account in Auto mode due
to the incongruity. In this case, default values will be used.
These parameters only can be set as integer values in ETS. However, at run
time the associated objects allow decimal values.
The A/C unit set a fixed temperature setpoint of 24ºC in Fan mode and will
ignore any setpoint temperature value received.
The setpoint limits set by the A/C unit on each operating mode are indicated in
Table 2, however, these limits can be more restrictive changing the
configuration with the wired remote control:

AUTOMATIC OFF
Figure 11.A/C Gateway. Configuration. Automatic off.
Automatic Off [disabled/enabled]:enables the “[AC] Automatic Off”and
“[AC] Automatic Off (Status)” binary objects, which lets performing a
temporary switch-off of the A/C unit by sending it a value of “1” and a later
switch-on by sending it a value of “0”. This object will be typically linked to a
window sensor or a similar event trigger. Automatic off will be also active if the
unit is previously in off state, so, the unit will not be able of being on until this
situation finishes.
During the temporary switch-off state, KLIC-SG will still monitor any control
orders being received (setpoint, fan speed, etc.), so they can be applied once
it leaves such state.
Automatic Off Object Polarity [0 = Activate; 1 = Deactivate / 0 =
Deactivate; 1 = Activate]: sets the polarity of the above object.
Automatic Off Delay [1…60…3600] s: sets the time KLIC-SG waits before
switching the A/C machine off. Any switch-off order received during the
delay will abort the time count. This delay can be changed at run time by
using the object “[AC] Automatic Off: Delay”. Sending the value “0”
disables the Automatic Off functionality.

INITIAL CONFIGURATION
Figure 12.A/C Gateway. Configuration. Initial Configuration.
Initial Configuration:allows setting the desired initial state that KLIC-SG will
send the A/C unit after programming or restarting the device:
[Default]: the initial state will be the last one KLIC-SG is aware of.
[Custom]: see section 2.2.3.
SCENES
Figure 13.A/C Gateway. Configuration. Scenes.
Scenes [disabled/enabled]:allows setting up different scenes (up to 5),
consisting each of them in a set of orders to be sent to the A/C unit upon the
reception of scene trigger values through the KNX bus. See section 2.2.4.
OPERATING TIME
Figure 14.A/C Gateway. Configuration. Operating Time.
The operating time of the A/A machine in hours and/or seconds can be known.
The available parameters in ETS are:

KLIC-SG
https://www.zennio.com Technical Support: https://support.zennio.com
19
Seconds [disabled/enabled]:enables the 2-Byte object “[AC] Operating time
(s)”. This object can be read and overwritten during executing time.
Hours [disabled/enabled]:enables the 4-Byte object “[AC] Operating time (h)”.
This object can be read and overwritten during executing time.
Initial Operation Time, two options are available:
[Keep current value]: keeps the previous value.
[Set new value]: establishes an initial operating time value [[0…3600][s]
/ [0…65535][h]].
Periodic Sending [[0…3600][s] / [0…65535][min/h]]:operating time
retransmission period. If set to 0 the periodic send is disabled.
When operating time object reaches its maximum value (65535h), it will be sent through
KNX bus (in spite of the fact that the periodical sending has not been configured) and it
will keep this value until the user reset it.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL RESTRICTION
