Description and Operation
The HS-150 is a line voltage card key switch that operates as a master switch to enable or disable power to single-pole electric branch circuits and loads in a hotel guest room or similar site. When a hotel door entry card key (or the key fob HS-FOB) is inserted in the HS-150 card slot, the controlled circuits are energized. When the hotel door entry card key (or HS-FOB) is removed, the controlled circuits will remain energized for 30 seconds more to allow safe egress from the hotel room. After this time delay elapses, they will be de-energized. To restore power to the room, the occupant will need to reinsert the hotel door entry card key into the HS-150 card slot.
Lighted Card Slot
To help locate the HS-150 in a dark room, two green LEDs illuminate the card slot. When the card or HS-FOB is in the slot, the green LEDs are OFF.
Installation and Wiring
⚠ WARNING: TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE WIRING.
- Make sure that the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Strip insulation off the wires to expose their copper cores to the length indicated by the "Strip Gauge" shown in Figure 1. Approximately 1/2".
- Connect wires to the HS-150 flying leads as shown in the wiring diagram (Figure 2).
- Connect the green or non-insulated (copper) GROUND wire from the circuit to the green terminal on the HS-150.
- Connect the NEUTRAL wire from the circuit to the white wire on the HS-150.
- Connect the power wire from the circuit box (HOT/LINE) to the black wire on the HS-150.
- Connect the power wire to the loads to the red wire on the HS-150.
- Put the HS-150 in the wall box and secure it to the wall box with the screws provided.
- Attach the cover plate.
- Restore power to the circuit.
Figure 1: Strip Gauge. This diagram shows the recommended wire stripping length, approximately 1/2 inch (12.7mm).
Figure 2: Line voltage wiring. This diagram illustrates the connections for the HS-150. It shows a ground wire connecting to the green terminal, a neutral wire to the white wire, the hot/line wire from the circuit box to the black wire, and the power wire to the loads connected to the red wire. It also indicates the placement of local OFF switches, lighting loads, and controlled receptacles within the room. A warning states: 'To prevent risk of damage to the unit - Do not exceed the HS-150's maximum 15 A load rating.'
Troubleshooting
Lighted card slot is OFF; no response from controlled loads in the guest room when card is inserted in slot.
- Make sure the circuit breaker that feeds the HS-150 and hence the controlled guest room loads is on and functioning.
- If the guest room loads are still not energized, turn power off and verify that the HS-150 is wired correctly and that all wire leads are tightly connected.
- If loads still do not respond properly after following troubleshooting, turn OFF power to the circuit and call Technical Support at 800.879.8585.
Lighted card slot is ON; no response from controlled loads in the guest room when card is inserted in slot or removed from it.
- Turn power off and verify that the HS-150 is wired correctly and that all wire leads are tightly connected. Turn power back ON.
- If there is still no response from the controlled loads in the guest room, call Technical Support.
When controlling multiple circuits in a room, call Technical Support at 800.879.8585 for diagrams.
