Overview and
General Concepts

MODEVA™ is an elegantly designed and easy to use guest interface system

used to control temperature, lighting, drapes, and guest annunciation. The user
interface brings all guestroom control features into a sleekly designed, backlit,
capacitive glass surface module. The user interfaces, low- and line-voltage
power, wired and wireless communications, TRIAC and MOSFET dimmers,
and wall box switches operate within INNCOM’s Integrated Room Automation
System. The American gang style MODEVA switches take full advantage of
INNCOM’s Load Assembly (WBI) technology for maximum application
flexibility, while the compact British gang units use in-room low voltage load
centers to provide an unparalleled control platform. The MODEVA thermostats
present guests with comfort and control over HVAC functions in a sleek,
capacitive glass form.

Application

The MODEVA system’s flexibility proceeds from the highly configurable

architectural mix of touch user interfaces, logic board, and actuators and
mounting brackets (Load Assemblies). MODEVA PCBAs contain all of the
hardware components (including logic operations, communications, and user
interface functionality) necessary to operate as a low voltage controls interface
within a thin (8mm thick) assembly that rests outside of the wall box cavity.
Therefore, British Gang devices and the MODEVA thermostats can perform
without the use of the Load Assemblies, communicating only by wired S5bus.
Coupling MODEVA PCBAs with Load Assembly actuators in American style
switches allows even more flexible capabilities. Each input located on the logic
board can control any one of the individual actuators located within the local
gang box or can remotely control other actuators as part of the guestroom

network IRAS. This allows the designer to locate actuators with specifically
designed functions throughout the guestroom network and to have control over
that actuator from any MODEVA user interface in the guestroom network.
The MODEVA platform uses magnets located on the back side of the logic
board to adhere to the large flat metal surfaces of the wall brackets, allowing
for screw-less mounting that adds to the aesthetic product design.

Within the standard design guidelines, the designer has relatively

full control over the look and feel with the exception of the physical
location of the sensors and LEDs. For instance, the following items
can be customized:
• Number of sensors*
• Sensor / slider functionality
• Sensor / slider artwork
• Text font, size, and location
• Background color scheme
• Framing plate color
• Hotelier logo
* The number of sensors can only be changed when existing sensors and LEDs in the hardware
layout are not used in the artwork. Therefore, sensors and LEDs can only be removed when
unnecessary

The designer cannot customize the following:

• Location of sensors

• Location of LEDs

• Addition of sensors and LEDs

• Mechanical dimensions

Installation Requirements
MODEVA Thermostat
1. Attach the appropriate metal mounting bracket for the MODEVA
Thermostat (American gang PN 251-104, British gang PN 251-106,
Oversized British gang PN 251-115) to the wall box using the 2 supplied
screws. Note the arrows and the text “Top” indicating the orientation of
the metal wall mounting bracket. Ensure the side with the text and the
countersink screw holes is facing away from the wall. Loosely screw the
bracket to the mounting posts—DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS!
Over tightening the screws will bend the mounting bracket, thereby
preventing a flush installation of the MODEVA assembly.
2. Make the necessary wire connections to a 3-wire S5bus header on the
back of the MODEVA assembly. NOTE: the second 3-pin connector is
used for S5bus, 12VDC, and GND daisy-chaining. Both headers have
the same pin assignments.
3. Allow the magnets of the MODEVA Assembly to snap to the metal
mounting bracket.

MODEVA Switch and Load Assembly

The Load Assembly is designed to operate in a Service Mode without the
MODEVA user interface during installation and maintenance. When installing
the Load Assembly, make all wire connections and verify proper operation
before installing the MODEVA user interface.

Rev 3.0 2/27/2017 4

MODEVA Product Guide

Locate the fuse panel and remove fuses or ensure the breaker is OFF
before installing the Load Assembly.
1. Pull the class-2 wires for Ground (Brown), +12VDC (Red) and S5bus
(Orange) and digital inputs into the wall box (See Wiring Diagrams).
Make the connections using a dolphin DC-1000P Super B connector
or equivalent type connector to the S5bus or digital input harnesses
and connect them to the appropriate header on the Load Assembly.
2. Prepare the line voltage wiring by stripping back the insulation 16mm
(5/8th inch).
3. Connect the Green (Earth) Cable attached to the Load Assembly
Strap to Earth.
4. Wire the Load Assembly as described in the Wiring Diagrams.
Depending on gang assembly, use the appropriate 10, 12, 14, 16, or
18 AWG wire nut.
5. Push all wires back into the wall box and fasten the control to the
wall box using the supplied mounting screws. Be sure not to pinch or
disconnect any of the wires. DO NOT connect the MODEVA User
Interface at this time.
6. Ensure the intended load(s) are connected to the circuit.
7. Replace the fuses in the fuse panel or move the breaker to ON
before continuing.
8. Allow the Load Assembly to power up. To verify power, the green
Service Mode LED will blink rapidly for 2 seconds.
9. To test the Load Assembly, slide the Service Mode switch to the ON
position (LED will light). Confirm the intended lighting load is turned
on. NOTE: In Service Mode, the TRIAC and MOSFET Dimmers will
only switch on and off the load (no dimming).

Figure 2. Service Mode

Environment
Ambient operating temperature for the MODEVA/ Load Assembly is 0-
40˚C (32-104˚F), 0-90% humidity, non-condensing. This equipment is
intended for indoor use only. The TRIAC and MOSFET dimmers will feel
warm to the touch under normal operating conditions.

Load Specifications
The following table provides the load ratings at absolute maximum based on
the load type in a single gang wall box.

Network Communication
If a MOSFET or TRIAC Dimmer is continuously overloaded, a thermal shut
down will occur to protect the solid state circuitry.
The MOSFET Dimmer is equipped with an additional overload detection circuit
that detects a catastrophic overload / short and shuts down the dimmer to
protect the solid state circuitry.

Air Gap Switch

The TRIAC and MOSFET Load Assemblies are equipped with an air gap
switch (relay) to ensure that the load is safely turned off and that there is no
leakage current to the fixture during routine lamp maintenance. The air gap
switch engages each time the load is dimmed completely off under normal
operation. It can be engaged manually for routine maintenance by removing
the MODEVA user interface and sliding the Service Mode switch to the
OFF position.

Class-2 Output
The Load Assembly has been designed to provide +12VDC power to devices
connected to the S5bus. The Load Assemblies can operate in parallel to
supply a higher total load capacity than that achievable by a single Load

Rev 3.0 2/27/2017 6

MODEVA Product Guide

Assembly. However, the total output is de-rated as per the table below for
accommodating the stability of the power supply circuitry. The total available
output power must be shared with the MODEVA User Interface. Refer to the
following table for Class-2 Output ratings.

Number of Load Voltage at

Nominal Voltage Output Rating
Assemblies Maximum Load
1 +12VDC +11.0VDC 200mA
2 +12VDC +11.0VDC 400mA
3 +12VDC +11.0VDC 600mA
4 +12VDC +11.0VDC 700mA
5 +12VDC +11.0VDC 800mA
6 +12VDC +11.0VDC 900mA

If the class-2 output is overloaded and the power supplies go into fold back mode (power supplies will
constantly reset), remove power from the system and then remove the load. Double check that the load
does not exceed the maximum output power. If the power cannot be removed from the system first,
disconnect the offending load. The Load Assemblies will take up to 30 seconds to fully recover from the
overload condition and return to normal operation.

Start-Up Behavior

Upon start-up the LEDs on the User Interface will cycle 5 times. During the first
20 seconds after start-up, the MODEVA will be in self-test mode. Any intended
input to the user interface will produce a toggle on and toggle off of all LEDs
and load.
After the MODEVA completes the self-test mode, it will resume its intended
programmed application.
