SYSTEM CONNECTION

Modular Service Tool SD

The OE391-12 Modular Service Tool is a system operator interface that provides a direct link to enable the system operator to view the status, conﬁ gure, and adjust the setpoints of the VAV/CAV, MUA, VCB-X, VCM, VCM-X, VCM-X E-BUS, RNE, SA E-BUS or VAV/Zone Controller on the control system communications loop. However, this manual only applies to VCB-X and VAV/Zone Controllers. See note in the inside front cover for the list of manuals that pertain to other controllers.

The Modular Service Tool is housed in an attractive black plastic enclosure. The display area is covered with a clear plastic bezel for protection of the display screen. The Modular Service Tool has a 4-line-by20-character display panel with adjustable contrast control and a 27-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 Modular Service Tool is supplied with a programmable 4 Gigabyte SD memory card, (4) AA 1.5 V batteries, a wall mount, a DC power supply, a miniDin communication cable, and an E-BUS communication cable. The mini-Din cable allows you to connect the Modular Service Tool to any Orion controller which has a mini-Din connector socket for programming, monitoring, and troubleshooting purposes.

Zone

The Modular Service Tool is also equipped with an EBC E-BUS port and an RS-485 three conductor terminal block port. The E-BUS port and included E-BUS cable are used for updating E-BUS Module software (described in Appendix C). The RS-485 port is used for hard-wiring to older controllers that do not have a mini-DIN connector socket.

The Modular Service Tool is designed to be hand-carried. Its rugged plastic housing provides superior protection for the electronic components housed inside. The Modular Service Tool is a top-quality service tool that will stand up to the demands of the typical job site environment for many years.

SYSTEM CONNECTION

Modular Service Tool

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.

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.

Operator Interfaces

In order to conﬁ gure and program the Orion System controllers, you must have an Operator’s Interface or a personal computer with the Prism 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.

unit with optional Morning Warm Up. In the Occupied Mode, the unit will be in the Cooling Mode controlling to the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint.

 Supply Air/Tempering—This selection is for VAV

“cooling only” applications where because of cold outdoor temperatures, heat may need to be added in order to maintain the “Cooling” Supply Air Setpoint. This application requires outdoor Cooling and Heating Setpoints conﬁ gured using the Hood On Enable Setpoints, to initiate Cooling and Heating Modes. The Heating Supply Air Setpoint should be set at least 2 Air Setpoint. See the Sequence of Operations for details.

 Return Air—Optional recirculating unit conﬁ guration

using the Return Temperature Sensor to determine the Heating, Cooling, and Vent Modes of operation.

 Space Temperature with High % OA—If it is

preferable to use Space conditions (instead of Outside Air) to control a 100% or high percentage outdoor air unit, this option allows tempering of the outdoor air in the Space Vent Mode of operation to prevent dumping of hot or cold air into the space. See the Sequence of Operations for details.

NOTE: If this option is selected, the Economizer must be

set to Standard Economizer.

SAT Reset Source

No Reset

Use < Or > To Change

This conﬁ guration option is not available if Single Zone VAV was se- lected as the HVAC source. The Supply Air Setpoint can be “automatically” adjusted based on a selected reset source. This screen allows you to choose this source. Default is No Reset. The available selections are as follows:

 No Reset—No SAT Setpoint Reset will occur. The SAT

Setpoints remain ﬁ xed.

 Space Temperature—The SAT Setpoints will be

adjusted based on the Space Temperature.

 Outdoor Temperature—The SAT Setpoints will be

adjusted based on the Outdoor Air Temperature.

 Return Air Temperature—The SAT Setpoints will be

adjusted based on the Return Air Temperature.

 Fan VFD Signal—The SAT Setpoints will be adjusted

based on the VFD Signal. This is good for Adjusting the Setpoints based on the building’s load by looking at the VFD speed.

 Remote Voltage—The SAT Setpoints will be

adjusted based on the Remote Supply Air Temperature Voltage Reset Signal.

If the HVAC Source was set Single Zone VAV in Conﬁ guration Screen #5, then line 3 on this screen will read No SAT Rst Allowed and the line 4 will be blank.

Conﬁ guration Screen #17 - Fan Starting Delay

VCBX Cnfg ID 101

Fan Starting Delay: -1 s

[-1 = Unit Addr x 5]

Enter the number of seconds you want the fan to delay starting. This is the Supply Fan Starting Delay initiated whenever the VCB-X initiates Supply Fan operation upon going occupied or after power-up. This is useful when you are using multiple VCB-X-controlled HVAC units and want to be sure that all the units do not start at exactly the same time when the Occupied schedule occurs. Each VCB-X should be set with staggered Fan Starting Delay Setpoint values. When the -1 value is used, it multiplies each VCB-X Controller’s address by 5 and uses this value in seconds as the Fan Starting Delay. This provides a staggered start for each VCB-X Controller on the system without having to individually set each VCB-X Controller for its own time delay. For a MUA unit, this should be set to a minimum of 60 seconds to let the OA Damper open.

Default is -1 second.
