It has the following functionalities: Setpoint regulation and temperature measurement Two special outputs are reserved to the measurement of the temperature and to the setpoint regulation. Three setpoint can be programmed for each season and that depends on occupation status of the room (busy, not busy, stand-by). When the room is busy, the user can regulate the setpoint plus or minus a certain number of degrees and it can be programmed relevant to the previous setpoint. Heat management and light regulation Two analog outputs are present on the node: a Fancoil output for the room heat management; a Dimmer output for the light variation. Smoke sensors management The node MA5600 can directly manage up to six smoke sensors or can collect the auxiliary output from a sensor already installed without interfering on the alarm fire system. Power devices management Four digital outputs, of which three with high power relays can be used for power supply of the room (lights, TV.) and door electric lock. Alarm management Balanced outputs can be used for alarm points, as open door/window, bathroom alarm.

4 BENEFITS OF APICE s HOTEL SYSTEM Energy Saving Save energy costs is possible through intelligent management. In the Apice Hotel System when the host is not present the air conditioning plant (hot or cold) works with the energy saving mode, maintaining the temperature set by the operator, turning off the electrical system. When the customer is into the room the electrical system is activated and the air-conditioning switch to the favorite level of comfort allowing the adjustment of the room temperature (you can set up to 6 different set-point), but within the limits set by the operator. In addition, when the host opens the window air conditioner is automatically excluded. Security Access to the rooms is controlled by magnetic or proximity cards. When the customer is not in the room to open the window or door, without the use of the card, will give rise to an intrusion alarm that is received at the reception. When the customer is not in the room, the opening without the card of the window or the door will activate an intrusion alarm that is received at the reception. The system manage the hotel personnel security also SUPERVISOR A Supervisor SW shows the situation of the state of the rooms; The Alarms are reported to be received and reset by the staff in two different operations; All more important events are registered; Issue Operation and card collecting.

The management software also allows you to assign the cards to the customers and to change the temperature settings in the rooms. Moreover, the software will record all accesses made by the customer and the service personnel, allowing to calculate the statistical efficiency of the staff.
