OVERVIEW

Features and Applications

Features

The RNE Modular Controller (OE332-23E-RNE-A) is designed with 7
analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 5 relay outputs. Each RNE Control­ler’s input and output capabilities can be expanded with the VCM-X
Expansion Module (OE333-23-EM), the 12 Relay Expansion Module
(OE358-23-12R), and the 4 Binary Input Expansion Module (OE356­01-BI) by means of a modular cable.

The RNE Controller also allows various E-BUS modules to connect
directly to it. These would include the Full Digital Module, the Two
Condenser Head Pressure Module, and the Water Source Heat Pump
Modules.

Each RNE Controller can be confi gured for control of VAV Units (with
or without VAV/Zone Controllers), Constant Volume Units, and Make­Up Air Units. Features include the following:

• Up to a Combined Total of 20 Stages of Heating & Cooling

• Modulating Cooling Outputs (VFD Compressor or Chilled

Water Valve Control)

Most common HVAC unit control applications can be confi gured using
only the RNE Controller. If the application requires more inputs and/
or outputs, optional expansion modules are available to provide for ad­ditional analog, binary, or digital inputs and outputs as required.

The available expansion module confi gurations allow for 4 or 8 addition-
al binary inputs, 4 additional analog inputs, 5 additional analog outputs,
and up to 16 additional binary (relay) outputs. The various expansion
modules plug into the RNE Controller by means of a modular cable.

RNE Modular Controller Field Technical Guide

OVERVIEW

Features and Applications

E-BUS Module Applications

The RNE Controller will interface with the Two Condenser Head
Pressure Module (OE370-23-HP2C2-A), the Full Digital Module
(OE370-23-FD-A), and the W ater Source Heat Pump Modules (OE334­23-WPM-A, OE334-23-WPM-A20, OE334-23-WPM-A25, OE334­23-WPM-A40, and OE334-23-WPM-22-A).

These E-BUS Modules allow independent control of multiple VFD
compressors, control of the condenser fan(s) or valve(s), and monitoring
functions for Water Source Heat Pump Units. See pages 40-47 of this
manual for detailed wiring and application details.

RNE Controller Applications

Variable Air Volume Unit

The RNE Controller can be confi gured to control a VFD Supply Fan
for Duct Static Pressure control. If the unit is not equipped with a VFD,
but Duct Static Pressure control is needed, a modulating Zoning Bypass
Damper can be controlled by the RNE Controller.

VAV units are typically designed for occupied Cooling with Morning
Warm-up Heating. This option is available with the RNE Controller.
The RNE Controller can also be used for a Zoning System that needs
Duct Static Pressure control and Occupied Cooling and Heating. The
RNE Controller also has the ability to be confi gured for Duct Static
Pressure Control by controlling the Supply Fan VFD for the purpose
of maintaining proper Duct Static Pressure in response to varying fi lter
loading conditions.

The RNE Controller allows Dehumidifi cation Priority on a VAV unit.
This could be useful on a building with a very low internal sensible
load, but which has a high internal and/or external latent load. During
VAV Dehumidifi cation, the RNE Controller activates Cooling based on
the Evaporator Coil Temperature and activates AAON® Modulating Hot
Gas Reheat to warm the Supply Air Temperature to the Active Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint.

Constant Air Volume Unit

The RNE Controller can be confi gured to activate a Constant Volume
Supply Fan. In most cases, this is a very basic unit with Space T empera­ture control. The RNE Controller can be used for kitchen, restaurant, or
lab environments that are 100% Outdoor Air part of the time and Return
Air part of the time. The Hood On input allows the RNE Controller to
know when to switch to 100% Outdoor Air control based on an exhaust
hood activating. The RNE Controller requires Outdoor and Indoor Air
Temperature Sensors to accomplish this application.

Make-Up Air Unit

The RNE Controller can be confi gured for 100% Outdoor Air control
for Make-Up Air. All HVAC Modes are determined from the Outdoor
Air Sensors. The Outdoor Air Volume must always be at least 50% or
higher to be confi gured for Outdoor Air control.

AAON® PAC (Precision Air Control)

This control scheme can only be used on Constant Volume HVAC units
that are equipped with a Return Air Bypass Damper and that use a Space
Temperature Sensor as the Controlling Sensor.

AAON® P AC Control provides improved moisture removal capabilities

while utilizing internal space loads for reheat by redirecting the Return
Air path from the upstream side of the DX Evaporator Coil to the down­stream side of the coil.

For AAON® P AC confi gured units, the Return Air Bypass Damper is only
used during the Dehumidifi cation Mode. When the RNE Controller is in
Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Return Air Bypass Damper will modulate
open as the Space T emperature falls below the Cooling Setpoint. Modula­tion of the Return Air Bypass Damper is controlled using a proportional
range from 0% (when the Space Temperature is equal to the Cooling
Setpoint) up to 100% (when the Space T emperature falls to the halfway
point between the Cooling and Heating Setpoints). A separate Return Air
Damper Actuator will modulate the Return Air Damper slightly further
towards its closed position as the Return Air Bypass Damper opens. This
is to ensure that enough Return Air is bypassed around the Evaporator
Coil through the Return Air Bypass Damper to raise its temperature. The
rate which the Return Air Damper closes while the Return Air Bypass
Damper is open is user-adjustable.

AAON® DPAC (Digital Precision Air Control)

This control scheme can only be used on Constant Volume HVAC
units that are equipped with a Return Air Bypass Damper and VFD
Compressor(s). AAON® DPAC also uses a Space Temperature Sensor
as the Controlling Sensor.

The AAON® DP AC control scheme provides improved moisture removal
capabilities over the AAON® P AC control scheme and provides for tighter
temperature control by combining a VFD Compressor with the Return
Air Bypass Damper. See the Cooling Mode section starting on page 53
for detailed VFD Compressor operation. Refer to AAON® P AC Control
previously described for detailed Return Air Bypass Damper operation.

The VFD Compressor is used during both Cooling and Dehumidifi ca-
tion Modes. The Return Air Bypass Damper is used only during the
Dehumidifi cation Mode.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Important Wiring Considerations

General

Correct wiring of the RNE Modular Controller is the most important
factor in the overall success of the controller installation process. In
general, most RNE Controllers are factory installed and wired at the
AAON®factory . It is also possible to purchase these controllers through
your local AAON®/Orion representative for installation in the fi eld.
Some of the following information pertains to fi eld wiring and may not
apply to your installation since it was pre-wired at the factory. However ,
in the unlikely event that troubleshooting of the controller is required,
it is a good idea to be familiar with the system wiring, no matter if it
was factory or fi eld wired.

Controller Mounting

The RNE Controller is housed in a plastic enclosure. It is designed to be
mounted by using the 3 mounting holes in the enclosure base. The RNE
Controller needs to be installed in an environment which can maintain
a temperature range between -30°F and 150°F not to exceed 90% RH
levels (non-condensing). It is important to mount the controller in a
location that is free from extreme high or low temperatures, moisture,
dust, and dirt. Be careful not to damage the electronic components when
mounting the controller. See Table 1 for a list of the required operating
conditions for the RNE Controller and associated expansion modules.

Considerations

The RNE Controller and expansion modules must be connected to a
24 VAC power source of the proper size for the calculated VA load
requirements. All transformer sizing should be based on the VA rating
listed in Table 1.

WARNING: When using a single transformer to power more
than one controller or expansion module, the correct polarity must
always be maintained between the boards. Failure to observe
correct polarity will result in damage to the RNE Controller and
expansion modules.

Please carefully read and apply the following information when wiring
the RNE Controller or the Expansion Modules. See Figure 6 on page

18 for the RNE Controller wiring diagram. See Figures 17 and 18 on
pages 26 and 27 for Expansion Module Wiring.

1. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and national
electrical codes and specifi cations.

2. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC wiring should be 18-gauge.

3. Minimum wire size for all sensors should be 24-gauge.
Some sensors require 2-conductor wire and some require
3-or 4-conductor wire.

4. Be sure that all wiring connections are properly inserted
and tightened into the terminal blocks. Do not allow wire
strands to stick out and touch adjoining terminals which
could potentially cause a short circuit.

5. When communication wiring is to be used to interconnect
RNE Controllers together or to connect to other
communication devices, all wiring must be plenum-rated,
minimum 18-gauge, 2-conductor, twisted pair with shield.
WattMaster can supply communication wire that meets this
specifi cation and is color coded for the network or local
loop. Please consult your WattMaster distributor for
information. If desired, Belden #82760 or equivalent wire
may also be used.

6. Before applying power to the RNE Controller, be sure to
recheck all wiring connections and terminations
thoroughly.

Fan Variable Frequency Drive to modulate the Supply Fan speed and
control Duct Static Pressure utilizing the Duct Static Pressure Sensor
connected to the RNE Controller. Alternatively, it can be connected to a
Zoning Bypass Damper Actuator that will modulate the Zoning Bypass
Damper Actuator to control Duct Static Pressure utilizing the Duct Static
Pressure Sensor connected to the RNE Controller. A Duct Static Pressure
Sensor must be connected in order for the VFD or Zoning Bypass Damper
Actuator to operate. See Figures 15 and 16 below for detailed wiring.

Caution:

The VFD Unit Must Be Configured For 0-10 VDC Input.
The Input Resistance At The VFD Must Not Be Less
Than 1000 Ohms When Measured At The VFD
Terminals WithAll Input Wires Removed.

The VCM-X Expansion Module can be used in conjunction with the
12-Relay Expansion Module (OE358-23-12R-A).

The 4 Binary Input Expansion Module (OE356-01-BI) can be used in
place of the VCM-X Expansion Module if your system does not need
any other inputs or outputs.

WARNING!!

Observe Polarity! All boards must be wired with GND-to-GND and
24VAC-to-24VAC. Failure to observe polarity will result in damage to one
or more of the boards. Expansion Modules must be wired in such a way
that the expansion modules and the controller are always powered
together. Loss of power to the expansion module will cause the controller
to become inoperative until power is restored to the expansion module.
