Whether you have a Stand Alone, Interconnected, or Networked
VCB-X Control System, the Modular Service Tool always connects to
the controller via a prefabricated cable that is supplied with the service
tool. The Modular Service Tool cable is terminated on both ends with
a mini-DIN connector. Attach one end to the Modular Service Tool and
the other end to the mini-DIN connector on the controller. If this is an
Interconnected System, all controllers that are interconnected with communications cable can be programmed from any controller on the loop.
If this is a Networked System, all controllers on the entire Networked
System can be programmed from one controller.

The OE392-12 Modular System Manager SD provides a direct link to
enable you to view the status and adjust the setpoints of the VCM-X,
VCM-X E-BUS, VCB-X, RNE, SA E-BUS, VCM, VAV/CAV, MUA II
or VAV/Zone Controller on the control system communications loop.
The System Manager SD is housed in a beige-colored plastic enclosure.
The System Manager has a programmable 4 Gigabyte SD card and is
equipped with a 4-line-by-20-character backlighted display panel and
a 24-key membrane keypad for data selection and entry. All keypad
operations are simple and straight forward, utilizing non-cryptic plain
English language messages. Menu-driven programming allows for
easy setup and operation without the need for specialized training. The
System Manager also has 2 integral LEDs for user notifi cation of system
alarm conditions and override initiations. Protection from unauthorized
users is provided by the System Manager’s integral multi-level passcode
authorization programming.
On a Networked System, the Modular System Manager is connected to
the communications and power loop of the system via modular cables
that simply plug into the System Manager board and the Power/Comm
Distribution Board. This virtually eliminates wiring errors and makes
installation fast and easy. When it is to be connected to a Stand-Alone
system, a cable with modular connectors on one end and stripped wire
ends on the other end is provided to facilitate connecting communications
and power to the Modular System Manager from the 24 VAC power
source and the HVAC unit controller communication wiring terminals.
The Modular System Manager is designed for wall mounting. Mounting
holes are provided to attach the Modular System Manager to a standard
handy box. It is recommended that the System Manager be mounted at
approximately eye level to allow for ease of programming and reading
of the display. The System Manager is typically mounted in the building manager’s or superintendent’s offi ce or in an equipment room. The
attractive enclosure is quite suitable for mounting in any location.

As previously described, when you are connecting the Modular System
Manager to a Networked System, the Modular System Manager is connected to the communications and power loop of the system via modular
cables. These cables simply plug into the System Manager board and to
any device with modular connectors on any local loop on the system.
Devices with modular connectors include the Power/Comm Distribution
Board, VAV/Zone controller, and MiniLink Polling Device. By using
these plug-in connections, wiring errors are virtually eliminated and
system installation is fast and easy. See Figure 4 below for typical con-
nection information. See Figure 5on page 8 for typical Power/Comm
board wiring and connection information.

When the System Manager is to be connected to a Stand Alone system,
a 12-foot cable with modular connectors on one end and stripped wire
ends on the other end is provided for this purpose. This is used to fa-
cilitate connecting communications and power wiring to the Modular
System Manager from a 24 VAC power source and to the HVAC unit
controller communication wiring terminals. See Figure 6on page 9
for wiring details. If the supplied cable wire is not long enough for
your installation, a standard modular cable of the correct length can
be purchased through WattMaster and one of the modular connectors
can be cut off to allow for the transformer and communication terminal
wiring connections. It is recommended that you do not splice the com-
munications wire if at all possible. The transformer should be rated at
6 VA minimum power output.

press <>.
The screens will step through the Start Time and then the Stop Time
for each day of the week. You can quit at any point in the process by
pressing <ESC>. There are two Start/Stop events available per day, so
the screen will show which event is being programmed. If you need
only one event, keep Event #2’s times set at ZERO.
All times are in 24-hour military format, so 5:00 PM would be entered
as 1700.
If both the Start and Stop Times are ZERO, the schedule is in a continuous OFF mode. (Also, use for Remote Forced Occupied applications
using the Forced Occupied Binary Input.)
If both the Start and Stop Times are 2359, the schedule is in a continuous ON mode.
NOTE: The second line displays which day of the week is cur-
rently being programmed. The day of the week automatically increments as you exit the Event #2 screen for the
day and continue to the next day’s Event #1 screen.
CAUTION:The controller ships with all schedules set to
zero so that the controller will not attempt to heat
or cool before you have confi gured the system.
If you are using the internal scheduling capability of the Unit Controller, set the schedule hours and holiday periods from the menu shown
above. You can also force the unit to operate continuously in occupied
or unoccupied mode by selecting the Schedule Override menu item and
entering the desired command.
If you are using an external contact closure to signal the occupied mode,
you must access the Week Schedule Screens and set all start and stop
times to zero to prevent the internal schedule from turning the equipment
on when you don’t want it to operate.
Holiday Start/Stop Day Selection
VCB-X Hldy
Holiday # 1
Start Mon/Day.: XXXX
[ July 4
Stop Mon/Day.: XXXX
[ July 5
The screens will step through the fourteen possible holidays, one period
at a time. Line 2 shows which holiday is currently being programmed.
Since a holiday period can encompass more than one day, you need to
program the day the holiday starts and the day the holiday ends. If your
holiday only lasts one day, simply set both the Start Day and the Stop
Day to the same value. Remember to combine the month and day into
a single four-digit value.
The fourteen holidays all use the same Start and Stop times which you
program on this screen and the next. You must enter the time in 24-hour
military format, the same as a regular week schedule.
Normally, the holidays will operate in an unoccupied mode or a reduced
schedule mode. There are two start/stop events available on holidays to
match the standard schedule number of events.
Schedule Override

If you want to force the unit to operate in a continuous Occupied or
Unoccupied mode, select this menu item to activate the desired method.
If a Schedule Override is active, all other methods of schedule control
are ignored (Push-Button, Internal, and Remote).
As you can see on the last line of the display, enter
ously in the Occupied Mode or <2> to run continuously in the Unoccupied Mode. To restore normal schedule operations, enter <0>.
This override remains in effect until canceled and does not time-out
like the Output Overrides do after 10 minutes of no communications.
NOTE: Do not use the Force OFF mode in place of setting all
the week schedules to ZERO if you are using a Remote

2 computer front-end software installed. Three different Operator Interfaces are available for programming of the Orion Controls System—the
Modular Service Tool SD, the Modular System Manager SD, and/or the
System Manager TS II. These devices allow you to access the status and
setpoints of the controllers on your communications loop. This manual
describes the Modular System Manager SD. If using the Modular Service
Tool SD, please see the Modular Service Tool SD Quick Start Guide. If
using the System Manager TS II, please see the System Manager TS II Technical Guide. If using Prism 2, please see the Prism 2 Technical Guide.
The Modular System Manager SD allows you to view any input or output
status and change any setpoint to fi ne-tune the operations of the total
system. All keypad operations are simple and straightforward, utilizing
non-cryptic plain English messages.

CAV/MUA Dual Mode (Hood On/Off)—In CAV (Hood Off) operation,
the unit will use the Occupied HVAC Setpoints from Setpoint Screen
#1 in reference to a Space or Return Air Temperature Sensor. When
exhaust hoods are turned on and the Hood On contact closes, the unit
switches from CAV Space Temperature Control to MUA Outdoor Air
Temperature control operation (Hood On). At this point the Outdoor
Damper modulates to full open, and these Hood On setpoints become
the Outdoor Air Temperature Mode Enable Setpoints.
When the exhaust hoods are turned off and the Hood On contact opens,
the unit reverts back to Space or Return Air Temperature Control and
uses the Occupied HVAC Setpoints from the previous screen.

Space Temperature Control of High Percentage Outside Air Units—
This option allows for Space Temperature control of 100% Outside Air
MUA Units or units with a high percentage of Outdoor Air (normally
50% or greater). For this application you would confi gure “Space Tem-
perature w/High OA %” for the Controlling Sensor option. The intent
of this sequence is to allow Space Temperature control of the unit while
preventing the dumping of hot or cold outside air into the space during
the Space Vent Mode of operation.
Once the Space Temperature is satisfi ed, before switching to Vent Mode,
the controller compares the Outside Air Temperature to these Hood On
HVAC setpoints to determine if a continued demand for heating or cooling is required to prevent dumping. If there is no demand, the VCB-X
Controller switches to Vent Mode. If the Outside Air Temperature is
greater than the Hood On HVAC Cooling Setpoint or less than the Hood
On HVAC Heating Setpoint, plus the Occupied Deadband, the VCB-X
Controller will continue mechanical cooling or heating operation and
stage it as necessary to maintain the Vent Mode Supply Air Setpoint
(Calculated to be halfway between the Mode Enable Setpoints). A call
for Heating or Cooling from the Space Sensor will cancel this tempering operation.
Supply Air Tempering—In the VAV Supply Air Tempering application
(see the VCB-X Controller Technical Guide for full details), the unit will
enter the Cooling and Heating Modes based on the outdoor temperature.
The outdoor Heating and Cooling Setpoints are confi gured using the
Hood On OAT Cooling and Heating Setpoints on this screen. In this
application, the economizer can operate in any mode, if necessary, to
achieve the supply air setpoint. Night Setback Heating and Morning
Warm Up are both controlled to the Warm Up Supply Air Setpoint.
NOTE: For this Supply Air Tempering application, the Heating Supply
Air Setpoint on Setpoint Screen #21 should be set at least 2°F below the
Cooling Supply Air Setpoint.
During the Unoccupied Mode of Operation, these Setpoints spread the
HVAC Mode Setpoints out by this user-adjustable amount. Use only
positive numbers for these Setpoints. If you do not want Cooling or
Heating to operate during the Unoccupied Mode, use the default setting
of 30°F for these setpoints.

On units where Indoor Humidity is used to initiate Dehumidifi cation
(non MUA units), the Low Reset Source (Lo Rst Src) is the Dehumidifi cation Setpoint, and as the Indoor Humidity rises above this setpoint,
Dehumidifi cation will be initiated. If the humidity falls 1% below this
setpoint, the unit will leave the Dehumidifi cation Mode.
If no reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint is desired, set the High Reset
Source (Hi Rst Src) at the same value as the Low Reset Source. If reset
of the Coil Temperature Setpoint is desired, when the Indoor Humidity
rises above the Low Reset Source, Dehumidifi cation will be initiated
and the Coil Temperature Setpoint will be set at the Coil Temperature
High Reset Limit (confi gured in the next screen).
The High Reset Source (Hi Rst Src) is the Indoor Humidity level at
which the Coil Temperature will be reset to the Coil Temperature Low
Reset Limit (confi gured in the next screen). As the Indoor Humidity
rises between the Low Reset Source and the High Reset Source, the
Coil Temperature Setpoint will be proportionally reset between the
Coil Temperature High Reset Limit down to the Coil Temperature Low

For VAV units, a Supply Fan VFD or Bypass Damper Actuator is used to
maintain the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint. The Static Pressure Output
Signal varies to control to the Static Pressure Setpoint. The Duct Static
Pressure is maintained at this setpoint anytime the Main Fan is running.
The Duct Static Setpoint accuracy is controlled by this value. No Main
Fan VFD changes are made if the static is within this range of this
setpoint.
If this unit is confi gured for Single Zone VAV operation, the Min Cool
Percentage will be the fan speed at which the VFD will start operating
at when cooling is initiated. It can then modulate up to 100% as the
space temperature rises within the range created by the Low Space (Low

If this unit is confi gured for Single Zone VAV operation, and you have a
modulating heat source that will allow VAV heating, then the Min Heat
Percentage will be the fan speed at which the VFD will start operating
at when heating is initiated. It can then modulate up to the Max Heat
Percentage as the Space Temperature falls within the range created by
the Hi Space setpoint and the Low Space Setpoint created in Setpoint
Screens #22 and 23. On a standard VAV unit, these setpoints will be the
Min and Max fan speeds the unit will operate at in the Heating Mode
as it controls to the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint.
If no SAT Reset Source has been confi gured in Confi guration Screen

Temperature Sensor has been confi gured as the Reset Source, then when
the Space Temperature is at or above the Hi Spc Temperature Setpoint,
the Supply Air Cooling Setpoint will be reset to its lowest value, the
SAT Setpoint. Then, as the Space Temperature moves from this high

control options.
Direct Acting Building Pressure Control
•On/Off Exhaust Fan—If an On/Off Exhaust Fan is
being used, a relay output must be confi gured for “Exhaust Fan”. This relay will energize whenever the
Building Pressure rises above the Building Pressure
Setpoint by the Deadband amount. The relay will de energize when the Building Pressure falls below the
Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount.
•Exhaust Fan VFD or Modulating Exhaust
Damper—If confi gured for Modulating Exhaust, a user-
adjustable voltage output (AOUT1 – Building Pressure
Output on the VCB-X EM1 Expansion Module) will
be used to control this fan or damper. An Exhaust Relay
can be confi gured if necessary to enable the fan or damper. Whenever the Building Pressure rises above
the Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the Exhaust Fan Relay will energize and the Modulat ing Signal will activate to control to the Building
Pressure Setpoint. If the Building Pressure falls below
the Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the Modulating Signal will modulate towards 0% as it
attempts to maintain the Building Pressure Setpoint.
The Exhaust Fan Relay remains energized as long as the
Modulating Signal is above 0%.
•Supply Fan VFD – Contact WattMaster regarding this
Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control option. It
should not be used in most applications. If this option
is selected, the user-adjustable Supply Fan VFD Output
(AOUT1 on the VCB-X) will be used to control the

Heat Pump Defrost
Interval: 30 Min
If this is a heat pump unit with a Defrost Coil Temperature Switch
installed and confi gured, a Heat Pump Defrost Mode is available. If
the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch closes during Heat Pump Heating
operation, the unit will enter the Defrost Mode for 10 minutes or until
the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch opens. The Heat Pump Defrost
Interval is the length of time that must be met between Defrost Modes.
The length of this Defrost Interval can be automatically adjusted by the
Adaptive Defrost Interval Adjustment described in Setpoint Screen #43.
Once initiated, the Defrost Mode is active until the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch opens or until a 10 minute timer has expired. Enter a
value greater than zero to enable the Adaptive Defrost Adjustment of the
Heat Pump Defrost Interval (Setpoint Screen #42). This adjustment value
will be subtracted from the Heat Pump Defrost Interval if the Defrost
Mode lasts the entire 10 minutes. A proportion of this adjustment value
will be added to the Heat Pump Defrost Interval if the Defrost Mode
only lasts between 8 minutes and 0 minutes.

Damper/Airflow Spt
Maximum..: XXX %
Vent Min.: XXX %
The VAV/Zone Controller will not allow the damper or airfl ow calcula-
tion to exceed the Maximum setpoint while it is allowing the damper to
modulate. During Vent mode when there is no heating or cooling demand,
the damper or airfl ow will maintain at least the Vent Min amount of
airfl ow into the zone for ventilation.
The VAV/Zone Controller normally opens its damper based on a Proportional Error from Setpoint. That means if the zone temperature is 4°F
from setpoint, the damper would be 100% open, or it would be modulating to provide the Maximum CFM on Pressure Independent boxes. If
the error is less than 4°F, the damper may stagnate at that position and
never satisfy the zone. If you add Integral into the damper calculation
process, this will cause the damper or airfl ow calculations to continue
to increase as long as the zone temperature is still above the setpoint.
That means it can provide 100% or Maximum CFM before the 4°F error is achieved, bringing the zone under control faster than it normally
would. Start with a small (5 or 10) value, if you use this, and monitor

cooling. During Supply Air Heating Mode, if the space being served
