Overview
Features and Applications
Features
The Series A Controller (OE332-23E-VCMX-SA)—SA E-BUS Controller—is designed with 6 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 5 relay
outputs. Most common HVAC unit control applications can be confi gured using only the SA E-BUS Controller; however, if needed, the
SA E-BUS Controller’s input and output capabilities can be expanded
with the SA Expansion Module ( OE333-23-SA) or 12-Relay Expansion
Module (OE358-23-12R) by means of a modular cable. The SA Expansion Module provides an additional 4 analog inputs, 5 analog outputs,
8 binary inputs, and 4 confi gurable relays. The 12-Relay Expansion
Module provides an additional 12 confi gurable relays.
The SA E-BUS Controller can also use the Two Condenser Head Pressure Module ( OE370-23-HP2C) for those applications requiring Head
Pressure Control. The SA E-BUS Controller can also use the WSHP
Module (OE334-23-WPM-A) for W ater Source Heat Pump applications.
Each SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured for control of VAV Units
(with or without VAV/Zone Controllers), Constant Volume Units, and
Make-Up Air Units. Features include the following:
• Modulating Cooling Output ( Copeland Digital
Scroll™ Compressor or Chilled Water Valve Control)
• Modulating Heating Output ( Hot Water Valve,
Steam Valve, SCR Electric Heat Control)
• Full Integration with the AAON
Hot Gas Reheat Valve Controller

• Emergency Shutdown Input (Smoke Detector/Firestat or
other Shutdown Conditions)
• Water Side Economizer Option
• Remote Occupied Capabilities
• 7-Day, 2-Event-per-Day Scheduling
• 14 Holiday Event Scheduling
• Optimal Start Scheduling
• Trend Logging Capability
• Static Pressure Control for Filter Loading Applications
• Head Pressure Control (with optional Two Condenser Head
Pressure Module)
• Additional Water Safeties (with optional Water
Source Heat Pump Module)
Applications
Variable Air Volume Unit
The SA E-BUS 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 SA E-BUS Controller.
VAV units are typically designed for occupied Cooling with Morning
W arm-up Heating. This option is available with the SA E-BUS Controller. The SA E-BUS Controller can also be used for a Zoning System that
needs Duct Static Pressure control and Occupied Cooling and Heating.
The SA E-BUS 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 SA E-BUS 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 SA E-BUS Controller activates Cooling
based on the Evaporator Coil Temperature and activates
lating Hot Gas Reheat to warm the Supply Air Temperature to the Active
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
Constant Air Volume Unit
The SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured to activate a Constant
Volume Supply Fan. In most cases, this is a very basic unit with Space
Temperature control.
Make-Up Air Unit
The SA E-BUS 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.
Single or Dual Cabinet Unit
The SA E-BUS Controller can control an SA Series Single Cabinet Unit
or an SA Series Dual Cabinet Unit. Wiring for Dual Cabinet Units is
shown and noted on applicable Single Cabinet Unit diagrams.

Installation & Wiring
Important Wiring Considerations
Zone
Zone
General
Correct wiring of the SA E-BUS Controller is the most important
factor in the overall success of the controller installation process. In
general, most SA E-BUS Controllers are factory installed and wired at
the AAON
®
factory.
Controller Mounting
When the controller is to be fi eld mounted, it is important to mount the
controller in a location that is free from extreme high or low temperatures,
moisture, dust, and dirt. See Table 1 for a list of the required operating
conditions for the SA E-BUS Controller and associated modules.
The SA E-BUS Controller is housed in a plastic enclosure. It is designed
to be mounted by using the 3 mounting holes in the enclosure base. The
SA E-BUS 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.
Considerations
The SA E-BUS Controller and associated 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 SA E-BUS Controller and
associated modules.
Please carefully read and apply the following information when wiring
the SA E-BUS Controller or its associated modules. See Figure 5 on
page 11 for the SA E-BUS Controller wiring diagram. See Figures 16
and 17 on pages 20 and 21 for SA Expansion Module wiring. And see Figure 25 on page 31 for 12-Relay 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
SA E-BUS 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 localloop. Please consult your WattMaster distributor for
information. If desired, Belden #82760 or equivalent wire
may also be used.
6. Before applying power to the SA E-BUS Controller, be sure
to recheck all wiring connections and terminations
thoroughly.

SA E-BUS Controller
The Series A Controller (OE332-23E-SA)—SA E-BUS Controller—is
designed with 6 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 5 relay outputs.
Most common HVAC unit control applications can be confi gured us-
ing only the SA E-BUS Controller; however, if needed, the SA E-BUS
Controller’s input and output capabilities can be expanded with the SA
Expansion Module ( OE333-23-SA) or 12-Relay Expansion Module
( OE358-23-12R) by means of a modular cable.
For Stand Alone Applications,
Connect To System Manager. For Network
Applications Connect To Next Controller And/Or
MiniLink PD On Local Loop.

The Suction Pressure Transducer is used to measure suction pressure
at the HVAC unit’s DX evaporator coil suction line. This suction line
pressure is converted to saturated refrigerant temperature by the SA EBUS Controller. This temperature is used by the SA E-BUS Controller
to accurately control the compressors and reheat cycle components to
provide optimum performance from the system during Dehumidifi ca-
tion operation.

Water Source Heat Pump Protection Module Overview and Wiring
Water Source Heat Pump Protection
Module
The W ater Source Heat Pump Protection Module (OE-334-23-WPMA)protects the compressors on an AAON Water Source Heat Pump
unit from damage by monitoring Suction Pressure, Leaving Water
Temperature, and Water Proof of Flow . It also utilizes a Delay T imer
to prevent the compressors from turning on at the same time.
There is one water-only version of the Water Source Heat Pump
Protection Module—the OE-334-23-WPM-A which uses R-410A
refrigerant. There are also two 410-A glycol versions—the OE-33423-WPM-A20 which uses 20% glycol and the OE334-23-WPM-A40
which uses 40% glycol.
NOTE: When using the WSHP Protection Module, the
compressors are wired to this module instead of the SA E-BUS
Controller and SA Expansion Module.

Start-Up & Commissioning
Addressing & Powering Up
Before Applying Power
In order to have a trouble free start-up, it is important to follow a few
simple procedures. Before applying power for the fi rst time, it is very
important to correctly address the controller and run through a few
simple checks.
Controller Addressing
All SA E-BUS Controllers are equipped with address switches. If the SA
E-BUS Controller is to operate as a stand-alone system (not connected to
any other HVAC unit or VAV/Zone Controllers), the controller address
switch should be set for address 1. When using the Modular Service Tool
or System Manager to program and confi gure the SA E-BUS Control-
ler, you would enter this address to communicate with the controller.
When the system is to be connected to other HVAC unit controllers on
a communication loop, each controller’s address switch must be set with
a unique address between 1 and 59. When the SA E-BUS Controller
Zone
will be used with VAV/Zone Controllers, the SA E-BUS Controller’s
address switch must be set as address 59, no exceptions. See Figure 29
below for address switch setting information.
Power Wiring
One of the most important checks to make before powering up the
system for the fi rst time is to confi rm proper voltage and transformer
sizing for each controller. Each SA E-BUS Controller requires 8 VA of
power delivered to it at 24 VAC and each of the modules require differ ent VA loads (see Table 1 on page 10 for details). You may use separate
transformers for each device (preferred) or power several devices from a
common transformer. If several devices are to be powered from a single
transformer, correct polarity must be followed.

Start-Up & Commissioning
Programming the Controller
Warning: Observe Polarity! All boards must be wired with
GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-24 VAC. Failure to observe
polarity will result in damage to one or more of the boards.
The Expansion Module must be wired in such a way that the
Expansion Module and the SA E-BUS Controller are always
powered together. Loss of power to the Expansion Module
will cause it to become inoperative until power is restored
to the Expansion Module.
Check all wiring leads at the terminal block for tightness. Be sure that wire
strands do not stick out and touch adjacent terminals. Confi rm that all sen-
sors required for your system are mounted in the appropriate location and
wired into the correct terminals on the SA E-BUS Controller . Be sure any
Expansion Module connected to the SA E-BUS Controller is also correctly wired just as you did for the SA E-BUS Controller.
After all the above wiring checks are complete, apply power to the SA
E-BUS Controller and any Expansion Module connected to it.
Initialization
On system power up, a 30-second startup delay is performed where all
default setpoints are initialized, LED’s are initialized, and all outputs
are turned off.
When power is fi rst applied, LED1 and LED2 will fl ash out the controller
address. LED1 will fl ash to represent the tens position. LED2 will fl ash
to represent the ones position. After the controller address is complete,
there will be a short pause and then 60 fast fl ashes to represent controller
initialization. There will be no controller operation or communications
during initialization. After initialization, LED1 and LED2 will continuously fl ash the status code.
Example of a controller address of 59:
LED1 will fl ash 5 times. LED2 will fl ash 9 times.
Programming the Controller
The next step is programming the controller for your specifi c require-
ments. In order to confi gure and program the SA E-BUS Controller, you
must use an operator interface. Three different operator interfaces are
available for programming and monitoring of the SA E-BUS Controller .
These are as follows:
• Modular Service Tool
• Modular System Manager
• Computer with Prism 2 Computer Front-End Software
Installed
Any of these devices or a combination of them can be used to access
the status, confi guration, and setpoints of any controller on your com-
munications loop.
If using the Modular Service T ool or Modular System Manager with your
system, refer to the SA E-BUS Controller Operator Interfaces Technical Guide for complete SA E-BUS Controller programming instructions.
If using a Notebook or Desktop computer and the Prism Computer Front
End Software, refer to the Prism 2 Technical Guide.
No matter which operator interface you use, we recommend that you
proceed with the programming and setup of the SA E-BUS Controller
in the order that follows:
1. Confi gure the Controller for your application.
2. Program the Controller setpoints.
3. Program the Controller operation schedules.
4. Set the Controller current time and date.
5. Review Controller status screens to verify system operation and correct Controller confi guration.,
See Table 3 on page 55 in the Troubleshooting Section of this manual
for detailed diagnostic blink code information.
Operating Summary
There is a standard set of operating instructions that are continuously
repeated during normal operations. They are listed below.
1. Read Analog Inputs for Temperatures, Pressures, and
Binary Contact Closures.
2. Calculate Occupied/Unoccupied Mode of Operation.
3. Calculate HVAC Mode of Operation.
4. Set all outputs to match calculations for Heating or Cooling
or Vent Mode.
5. Broadcast information to other controllers if confi gured.
6. Log all temperatures and output conditions.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 continuously.

Inputs & Outputs
SA E-BUS Controller Inputs
Zone
Zone
SA E-BUS Controller Inputs
AI1 - Space Temperature Sensor Input
If you want to generate Occupied or Unoccupied Heating and Cooling demands based on Space Temperature, select this Sensor for the
HVAC Mode enable. The Space Temperature Sensor can be used for
Night Setback control regardless of the HVAC Mode Sensor selected.
If the Space Temperature Sensor used is equipped with the optional
Push-Button Override Feature, this input will detect user overrides from
Unoccupied back to Occupied operation for a user-adjustable amount
of time. This Sensor is only required for Space Temperature Control or
Night Setback. The Space Temperature Sensor can also be confi gured
to reset the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. The Space Temperature
Sensor is the only Sensor that can be used for Night Setback operation
during the Unoccupied Mode.
AI2 - Supply Air Temperature Sensor Input
The Supply Air Temperature Sensor is the default HVAC Mode Enable
Sensor. For typical VAV units that are Cooling Only with Morning
W arm-up, this Sensor should be confi gured as the HVAC Mode Enable
Sensor. For all applications, the Supply Air Temperature Sensor is the
sensor used for Staging Control. The HVAC unit must always have a
Supply Air Temperature Sensor installed.
AI3 - Entering Water Temperature Sensor
Input
The Entering Water Temperature is used to determine when to initiate
Water Side Economizer operation. If the unit is in Cooling Mode and
the Entering W ater T emperature drops 10˚F (adj.) below the Entering Air
Temperature, the unit will begin to modulate the W ater Side Economizer
Valve as part of the cooling operation. See Water Side Economizer in
the Sequence of Operation Section of this manual for a full description
of this operation.
AI4 - Entering Air Temperature Sensor Input
The Entering Air Temperature Sensor can be used as the controlling
sensor for 100% Entering Air units. The Entering Air Temperature is
used to lock out Heating or Cooling to conserve energy at whatever
temperature you deem appropriate for each Mode of Operation. The Entering Air Temperature Sensor can also be used to provide Low Ambient
Temperature Protection in the building. If the Entering Air T emperature
is below the Low Ambient Temperature Setpoint, the Preheat Relay
Output will be maintained during Occupied operation and will not be
allowed to stage off unless the Supply Fan is turned off. The Entering
Air Temperature Sensor is also used in combination with the Entering
Air Humidity Sensor for Dewpoint calculations.
AI6 - Duct Static Pressure Sensor Input
This special phone jack-style input connection accepts a Duct Static
Pressure Sensor input modular cable. The Duct Static Pressure Sensor
reading is used to determine current Duct Static Pressure. This Static
Pressure reading is used to control the output signal supplied to the Supply Fan VFD or Zoning Bypass Damper Actuator . If you have confi gured
the HVAC unit for Constant Volume operation, this Sensor is optional.
If it is installed on a Constant Volume unit, it will not affect operation,
but rather will be used as a status-only reading.
AI7 - Space Temperature Sensor Slide Adjust or
Remote SAT Reset Signal Input
AI7 on the SA E-BUS Controller is a dual-purpose input. It can be
used for the Space Sensor Slide Adjust option or for connection of the
Remote Supply Air Setpoint Reset Signal option. Only one or the other
can be used, not both.
Space Temperature Sensor Slide Adjust
If the Space Temperature Sensor being used has the optional Slide
Adjust feature, its AUX output is connected to this input. The Slide
Adjust control is used to vary the HVAC Mode Heating and Cooling
Setpoints by a user-confi gured maximum amount. The Slide Adjust-
ment adjusts whichever Temperature Sensor has been confi gured as
the HVAC Mode Enable Sensor, even if that Sensor is not the installed
Space Temperature Sensor.
If Space Temperature or Entering Air Temperature is confi gured as
the SAT/Reset Source, the Slide Adjustment adjusts both the HVAC
Mode Enable Heating and Cooling setpoints and the SA T/Reset Source
Heating and Cooling setpoints simultaneously by a user-confi gurable
maximum amount.
Remote Supply Air Temperature Reset Signal
When a 0-5 or 0-10 VDC Remote Supply Air T emperature Reset Signal
is to be used, the controller must be confi gured for it, and the Room
Sensor Slide Offset setpoint must be set to zero for this option. If the
slide offset is not set to zero, the Supply Air Temperature Reset will
not function.
The Remote Supply Air Temperature Reset signal must be confi gured so
that its setpoint will be at the coldest Supply Air Temperature at 0 VDC,
and so that its setpoint will be at the warmest Supply Air Temperature
at 5 or 10 VDC, depending on the voltage signal required.
The jumper AI7 must be set to 0-10V regardless of whether the controller is confi gured for 0-5 or 0-10VDC operation. See the wiring diagram
on page 13 for details.

Inputs & Outputs
SA E-BUS Controller Outputs and SA Expansion Module I/Os
SA E-BUS Controller Outputs
AO1 - Water Side Economizer Valve Signal
This 2-10 VDC signal is used to modulate the Water Side Economizer
valve(s) of either a single SA Unit or a dual SA Unit during Water Side
Economizer operation.
AO2 - Supply Fan VFD
This voltage signal (0-10 VDC) can be connected to a Supply Fan VFD
or to Proportional Inlet Vanes to control the Duct Static Pressure. This
signal can also be connected to a 0-10 VDC Modulating Zoning Bypass
Damper Actuator to control Duct Static Pressure. When this signal is
used to control a Zoning Bypass Damper Actuator, the Zoning Bypass
Damper Actuator needs to be mechanically confi gured to close the Zon-
ing Bypass Damper on an increase of the 0-10 VDC output signal. This
is necessary because the signal is Direct Acting and is not confi gurable
as a Reverse Acting Signal on the SA E-BUS Controller.
R1 - Supply Fan (Enable)
This is reserved for the Supply Fan and cannot be confi gured for any
other option.
R2-R5 - User-Confi gurable Relays
These relays are confi gurable by the user. For all the available confi gura-
tion options, see Table 2 on page 40.
By using all (4) of the available relay outputs on the SA E-BUS Controller, all (4) of the relay outputs on the SA Expansion Module, and all 12
of the relay outputs on the 12 Relay Expansion Module, you have the

a AAON® Modulating Heating Device to maintain the Heating Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint.
AO2 - Modulating Cooling Stage 1 Signal
This output is used to control either a Copeland Digital Scroll Compressor™ or a Modulating Chilled Water Valve to maintain the Cooling
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. If used for a Copeland Digital Scroll

used for a Modulating Chilled Water Valve, the output is confi gured
for either 0-10 VDC or 2-10 VDC operation and can be confi gured for
direct acting or reverse acting operation.
NOTE: The Binary Inputs require wet contacts (24 VAC only) to
recognize an active input. If you provide dry contacts, the contact
closure will not be recognized.

R1-R4 - User-Confi gurable Relay Outputs
Confi gure relays as indicated by the factory wiring diagram when
mounted controls are used. The options are listed in Table 2 below.
BI1 - Water Proof of Flow Input A
This input is for the W ater Proof of Flow Switch for a single SA Unit or
for Unit A of a Dual SA Unit. If the W ater Proof of Flow Switch contact
opens while the Condenser Valve is operating, the Unit will enter Water
Proof of Flow Failure mode. In this mode, the mechanical cooling will
deactivate and the Condenser Valve will be forced to 100%. The Unit
will exit this mode when the Water fl ow Switch is closed again and
Water Flow is proven.
BI2 - Water Proof of Flow Input B
This input is for the Water Proof of Flow Switch for Unit B of a Dual
SA Unit. If the Water Proof of Flow Switch contact opens while the
Condenser Valve is operating, the Unit will enter Water Proof of Flow
Failure mode. In this mode, the mechanical cooling will deactivate and
the Condenser Valve will be forced to 100%. The Unit will exit this
mode when the Water fl ow Switch is closed again and Water Flow is
proven.
BI3 - Air Proof of Flow Input
An Air Proof of Flow Switch that provides a wet contact closure whenever the HVAC Unit Supply Fan is operating can be connected to this
input. If the Air Proof of Flow Switch contact opens while the Supply
Fan is operating, all Heating and Cooling is suspended or disabled.
The Air Proof of Flow Switch is an optional input. This means that you
must confi gure the SA E-BUS Controller to recognize this input signal.
BI5 - Emergency Shutdown Input

contact closure to this input. When this contact closure is initiated, the
controller will enter Drain Pan Overfl ow Failure Mode and deactivate
mechanical cooling.
BI7 - Drain Pan Overfl ow Input B
This input is for the Drain Pan Overfl ow Switch for Unit B of a Dual

Sequence of Operations
Mode of Operation Overview
Occupied/ Unoccupied Mode of
Operation
The SA E-BUS Controller can utilize several methods for determining
the Occupied Mode of Operation. These are as follows:
• Forced Schedule
• Remote Forced Occupied Signal
• Internal Week Schedule
• Push-Button Override Signal
Forced Schedule
The SA E-BUS Controller can be forced into the Occupied Mode by
inputting a Forced Schedule from any operator interface.
Remote Forced Occupied Signal
When this wet contact input closes, it will force the SA E-BUS Controller into the Occupied Mode. When the Remote Forced Occupied
Signal is removed, the controller will revert to the Unoccupied Mode
of operation if no Internal or External Schedule has been confi gured or
is in effect when this occurs.
NOTE: When using Remote Forced Occupied Mode, set all the
Internal Week Schedules to ‘0’ so that the Internal Schedule always
commands the Unoccupied Mode.
HVAC Modes of Operation
There are 8 possible HVAC Modes of Operation. They are as follows:
• Vent Mode
• Cooling Mode
• Dehumidifi cation Mode
• Heating Mode
• Heat Pump
• Water Side Economizer
• Warm-Up Mode
• Off Mode
Vent Mode Operation
This Mode only applies to the Occupied Mode of Operation. The Vent
Mode is defi ned as the Supply Fan running with no Heating, Cooling,
or Dehumidifi cation demand.
V ent Mode can occur during the Occupied Mode if the Space or Entering
Air Temperature Sensor is selected as the HVAC Mode Enable Sensor.
NOTE: During Vent Mode, all Cooling and Heating Stages are
deactivated. The Static Pressure is still maintained by the Supply
Fan VFD or Zoning Bypass Damper Signal since the Supply Fan
is still operating in this Mode.
Internal Week Schedule
An Internal Week Schedule, which supports up to two start/stop events
per day, is available for determining Occupied and Unoccupied Schedules. If you are using the Internal Schedule, an Optimal Start calculation is also available. See the Scheduling Section on page 52 for more
information on the Optimal Start feature.
Push-Button Override Signal
During Unoccupied hours, you can force the SA E-BUS Controller back
to Occupied operation by pressing the Override Button on the Space
Temperature Sensor for a period of less than 3 seconds. This initiates the
Override or resets the Override Timer back to zero during Unoccupied
hours of operation.
During Override operations, you can cancel the Override by pressing the
Override Button for a period of time between 3 seconds and 10 seconds.
This restores the SA E-BUS Controller to Normal Unoccupied Operation.
If the Override Button is held for more than 10 seconds, it causes a Space
Sensor Failure Alarm. This is due to the fact that the Override Button
actually shorts the Space Temperature Sensor input to ground. If this
input is shorted to ground or left fl oating with no Space Temperature
Sensor detected for more than 10 seconds, it is considered a Space
Temperature Sensor failure.
You can still use the Space Temperature Sensor input for an Override
Command even when a Space Temperature Sensor is not connected.
Simply provide a Momentary Push-Button connected between AI1
and the Ground T erminal on the same terminal block. Follow the same
procedure for initiating Overrides, even on Supply Air Temperature
Controlled Cooling-Only HVAC units.
Cooling Mode Operation
Occupied Cooling Mode occurs whenever the HVAC Mode Enable
Temperature rises one deadband above the HVAC Cooling Mode Enable Setpoint. The unit will leave the Cooling Mode when the HVAC
Mode Enable Temperature falls one deadband below the HVAC Mode
Enable Cooling Setpoint. Unoccupied Cooling Mode only occurs if a
Space Temperature Sensor is connected to the SA E-BUS Controller
or a broadcast of Space Temperature is being received from a General
Broadcast Controller and if the Space Temperature is above the Cooling Setpoint.
The Mechanical Cooling will be disabled if the Entering Air Temperature is below the Cooling Lockout Setpoint by 1°F. This gives a 2°F
hysteresis around the Cooling Lockout Setpoint to prevent unwanted
cycling in and out of Mechanical Cooling Mode. If the Entering Air
Temperature disables the Mechanical Cooling while it is currently
operating, the Mechanical Cooling will stage off if all staging and run
times are satisfi ed.
If the Water Side Economizer has been enabled for operation, it is used as
the fi rst stage of Cooling, and the Mechanical Cooling will be activated
if necessary. See the Water Side Economizer Operation section on page
43 for a more detailed operating sequence.
No matter which Sensor is confi gured for the HVAC Mode Enable, the
Supply Air Temperature is always controlled to the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint while in the Cooling Mode.

Sequence of Operations
Cooling Mode
Zone
Zone
Stage Control Window
The Cooling Stage Control Window Setpoint determines when the
compressors start to stage down. In the Cooling Mode, as the Supply Air
Temperature rises above the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint,
the Cooling Stages will begin to stage on based on the Cooling Stage
Up Delay setting. The Cooling Stages will continue to run until the
Supply Air Temperature drops below the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint minus the Cooling Stage Control Window. For example,
if the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint is 55° and the Cooling Stage
Control Window is 5°, as the Supply Air T emperature drops below 50°,
the Cooling Stages will begin to stage off based on the Cooling Stage
Down Delay setting.
Cooling Staging Delay
Minimum Off Time
A Cooling Stage cannot be activated unless it has been off for this
amount of time.
Minimum Run Time
After a Cooling Stage has been activated, it must remain on for
this amount of time.
Staging Up Delay
After the fi rst Cooling Stage has been activated, this delay pre-
vents additional stages from activating too quickly before they are
needed to achieve the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
Staging Down Delay
After a Cooling Stage has met its Minimum Run Time and is not
needed, this delay prevents additional stages from deactivating too
quickly in case they are needed to maintain the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint Temperature.
Modulating Cooling
The SA E-BUS Controller can control one of two Modulating Cooling
sources. This can either be a Chilled W ater Valve or a Copeland Digital
Scroll™ Compressor(s). A Copeland Digital Scroll™ Compressor is a
V ariable Capacity Compressor that has a 10-to-1 turn down ratio. Whichever source is used, the SA E-BUS Controller will control the Modulating
Cooling source to maintain the Active Supply Air T emperature Setpoint.
The Modulating Cooling Proportional Window is used to determine the
signal to the Modulating Cooling Source and is user-adjustable. The
Modulating Cooling signal is calculated based on the differential between
the Supply Air Temperature and the Active Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint based on the Modulating Cooling Proportional Window.
The Maximum Signal Adjustment per Time Period is 10% and is not
user-adjustable. The Minimum Signal Adjustment per Time Period is
based on the Modulating Cooling Proportional Window. The larger
the Modulating Cooling Proportional Window, the smaller the signal
adjustment will be per Time Period. The Time Period is the delay between another increase or decrease in the Modulating Cooling Source
Signal and is user-adjustable. For example, if the Modulating Cooling
Proportional Window is 5F, the signal would adjust 2% per F each
Time Period above or below the Active Supply Air T emperature Setpoint.
When the Supply Air Temperature is above or below the Active Supply
Air T emperature Setpoint by 5F or more, the signal would adjust 10%
each Time Period.
DX Cooling
If the unit is in the Cooling Mode and the Supply Air Temperature is
above the Active Supply Air Cooling Setpoint, the following staging
sequences will occur.
Units with 2 Digital Compressors
Two Stages of Cooling need to be confi gured for the two Compressors.
If the Water Side Economizer is active, the Economizer valve needs to
reach 100% before activating mechanical cooling. When mechanical
cooling is active, the Compressors will modulate to maintain the Active
Supply Air Cooling Temperature Setpoint.
The First Stage of Cooling will modulate as required. If the fi rst stage
rises above 60% and remains there for the Stage Up Delay and the
Supply Air Temperature (SAT) is above the Active Supply Air Cooling
Temperature Setpoint, then the Second Stage of Cooling will activate.
The two Compressors will go to half the position of the fi rst Compressor
and will modulate together to maintain the Active Supply Air Cooling
Temperature Setpoint.
If both Compressors fall below 30% and remain there for the Stage Down
Delay and the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint is below the SAT Setpoint minus the Cooling Stage Control Window, then the Second Stage
will deactivate. The fi rst Compressor will go to 60% and it will modulate
to maintain the Active Supply Air Cooling Temperature Setpoint.
Units with 4 Digital Compressors (Dual Unit)
The Compressors will Stage Up and Stage Down the same as 2 Digital
Compressors. Number 1 Compressors from both units will modulate
together and number 2 Compressors from both units will modulate
together.
Units with 1 Digital Compressor and 1 ON/OFF
Compressor
Two Stages of Cooling need to be confi gured for the two Compres-
sors. If the Economizer is active, the Economizer valve needs to reach
100% before activating mechanical cooling. When mechanical cooling
is active, the Digital Compressor will modulate to maintain the Active
Supply Air Cooling Temperature Setpoint.
The First Stage of Cooling will modulate up. If the First Stage stays at
100% for the Stage Up Delay and the Supply Air Temperature is above
the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint, then the Second Stage (ON/OFF)
will activate while the First Stage is allowed to modulate.
If the Digital Compressor falls below 20% and remains there for the
Stage Down Delay and the Supply Air Temperature is below the Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint minus the Cooling Stage Control Window,
then the Second Stage (ON/OFF) will deactivate.

Cooling Mode
Units with 2 Digital Compressors and 2 ON/
OFF Compressors (Dual Unit)
The Compressors will Stage Up and Stage Down similar to 1 Digital
Compressor and 1 ON/OFF Compressor. The two Digital Compressors
modulate together as Stage One. The two ON/OFF Compressors are
considered the 2nd and 3rd Stage of Cooling.
The fi rst Stage ( 2 Digital Compressors) will modulate up. If the First
Stage stays at 100% for the Stage Up Delay and the Supply Air Temperature is above the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint, then the Second
Stage will activate while the First Stage is allowed to modulate. This
sequence will repeat for the Third Cooling Stage.
If the two Digital Compressors fall below 20% and remain there for the
Stage Down Delay and the Supply Air Temperature is below the Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint minus the Cooling Stage Control Window,
then the Second Stage will deactivate. This sequence will repeat for the
Third Cooling Stage.
Air Cooled Condenser Fan Operation
If this is an Air Cooled SA Unit that has an installed Two Condenser
Head Pressure Module, whenever the compressor(s) are fi rst activated
the signal to the condenser fan will go to 50% for 30 seconds. After
this 30 second period, the unit will then monitor the Head Pressure
Transducer(s) and modulate the Condenser Fan(s) to maintain the Head
Pressure Setpoint (275 psi adjustable). The SA E-BUS Controller can
monitor up to two Head Pressure Transducers on a Single SA Unit or
up to two Head Pressure Transducers in each unit of a Dual SA Unit.
The highest of the two readings in each unit will be used to control the
Condenser Fan in that unit.
During Heat Pump Defrost, the Condenser Fan signal will go to 0%.
When compressors are not active the Condenser Fan signal will go to
100%.
Water Side Economizer Operation
(Valves 1 & 2)
The Water Side Economizer (WSE) is only available if using a Water
Cooled Condenser. The WSE is only active in the Cooling Mode and is
activated when the Entering W ater T emperature drops 10°F (Adjustable)
below the Entering Air Temperature.
If the Compressors are Active:
The WSE (V alve 1) will open to 100% and the WSE Bypass (V alve
2) will close to 0%.
If the Compressors are not Active:
If the unit is confi gured for Constant Flow, the WSE (Valve 1) will
modulate to maintain the Active Supply Air Cooling Temperature
Setpoint
If the unit is confi gured for Variable Flow , the WSE (Valve 1) will
modulate to maintain the Active Supply Air Cooling Temperature
Setpoint and the WSE Bypass (Valve 2) will close.
and the WSE Bypass (Valve 2) will modulate opposite.
If the unit is confi gured for Constant Flow, the WSE (Valve 1)
will close to 0% and the Economizer Bypass (Valve 2) will open
to 100%.
If the unit is confi gured for Variable Flow, the WSE (Valve 1)
will close to 0% and the WSE Bypass (Valve 2) will modulate to
maintain Head Pressure (275 psi adjustable). A Two Condenser
Head Pressure Module is required.
Water Cooled Condenser (Valve 3)
If the SA Unit has a Water Cooled Condenser and an installed Two Condenser Head Pressure Module, the SA E-BUS Controller can monitor
up to two Head Pressure Transducers on a Single SA Unit or up to two
Head Pressure Transducers in each unit of a Dual SA Unit. The highest
of the two readings in each unit will be used to control the Condenser
Valve in that unit.
If the unit is confi gured for Constant Flow:
When the compressor(s) are fi rst called to activate for Cooling,
Dehumidifi cation, or Heat Pump Heating Mode, the signal to the
condenser valve will go to 75% for 3 minutes in order to prove water
fl ow. After this 3 minute period, the compressor(s) will ener gize and
the Condenser Valve will modulate to maintain the Head Pressure
Setpoint (275 PSI adjustable).
During Heat Pump Heating, the Condenser Valve signal will go
to 100%. When compressors are not active, the Condenser Valve
signal will go to 100%.
Once Water Flow has been initially proven, the compressors are
energized for Cooling, Dehumidifi cation, or Heat Pump Heating.
Once the compressor(s) are energized, the only time a loss of water
fl ow will be recognized during Cooling or Dehumidifi cation is if
the Condenser Valve is above 70%. If this happens, an alarm will
be generated and the compressors(s) will be de-energized. During
Heat Pump Heating, anytime there is a loss of water fl ow, an alarm
will be generated and the compressors(s) will be de-energized.
If the unit is confi gured for Variable Flow and has no
Water Side Economizer (WSE):
When compressor(s) are fi rst called to activate, the signal to the
Condenser Valve will go to 75% for 3 minutes in order to prove
water fl ow. After this 3 minute period, compressor(s) will energize
and the Condenser Valve will modulate to maintain the Head Pressure Setpoint (275 PSI adjustable). During Heat Pump Heating,
the Condenser Valve signal will go to 100%.
Water Flow must always be initially proven for the compressors
to energize for Cooling, Dehumidifi cation, or Heat Pump Heating.
Once the compressor(s) are energized, the only time a loss of water
fl ow will be recognized during Cooling or Dehumidifi cation is if
the Condenser Valve is above 70%. If this happens, an alarm will
be generated and the compressors(s) will be de-energized. During
Heat Pump Heating, anytime there is a loss of water fl ow, an alarm
will be generated and the compressors(s) will be de-energized.
When compressors are not active, the Condenser Fan signal will
go to 0%.
The Economizer Deactivates as follows:
When the Entering W ater T emperature rises to 8°F below the Entering Air Temperature, the WSE will deactivate.

When compressors are not active, the WSE Bypass Valve signal
will go to 100%. When the unit is off, the Economizer (WSE) Valve
and WSE Bypass Valve will be closed.
Economizer Flush Cycle
If the Economizer has been closed for 72 hours, a Flush Cycle will be
initiated the next time the compressor is activated or at the next 6:00 AM
time slot, whichever happens fi rst. During the Flush Cycle, the Econo-
mizer Valve will open for 5 minutes and then close again. The 72 hour
timer will restart once the Flush Cycle is completed or the Economizer
has been activated and has closed again.
Chilled Water Cooling
One Stage of Cooling needs to be confi gured for the Chilled Water
Valve. If the Water Side Economizer is active, the Economizer valve
needs to reach 100%, before activating the Chilled Water Valve. When
the Chilled Water Valve is active, the valve will modulate to maintain
the Active Supply Air Cooling Temperature Setpoint.
External Cooling
The SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured to control stages of cooling
that are external to the SA Unit.
Dehumidifi cation Mode
On VAV or CAV applications, the Indoor Air Humidity initiates Dehumidifi cation when the Indoor Air Humidity rises 5% above the Indoor
Air Humidity Setpoint during the Occupied Mode of operation and
likewise stops Dehumidifi cation when the Indoor Air Humidity drops
more than 5% below the Indoor Air Humidity Setpoint during the Occupied Mode of operation.
On 100% Entering Air applications, the Entering Air Dewpoint initiates
the Dehumidifi cation Mode when the Entering Air Dewpoint rises 2F
above the Entering Air Dewpoint Setpoint during the Occupied Mode
of operation and likewise stops Dehumidifi cation when the Entering Air
Dewpoint drops more than 2F below the Entering Air Dewpoint Setpoint
during the Occupied Mode of operation. The Entering Air Dewpoint is
calculated by using an Entering Air Temperature Sensor and an Entering
Air Humidity Sensor.
For Chilled Water units, the SA E-BUS Controller opens the Chilled
Water Valve to a fi xed 100% position to provide full moisture removal
capabilities.
For DX Cooling Units, the SA E-BUS Controller will modulate the
Copeland Digital Scroll™ Compressor(s) and activate the Fixed Stages
as necessary to maintain the Evaporator Coil T emperature Setpoint. The
Evaporator Coil T emperature is calculated by using the Suction Pressure
Transducer and converting the pressure to temperature.
Coil Temperature Reset
Any time an Indoor Humidity Sensor is used, the Coil Temperature
Setpoint will be automatically reset as the humidity rises above or drops
below the Indoor Humidity Setpoint. It can reset the Coil Temperature
Setpoint by a maximum of 5ºF. For example, if the Coil Temperature
Setpoint is 45ºF and the Indoor Humidity Setpoint is 50% with an actual humidity reading of 55%, the new Coil Temperature Setpoint will
be 40ºF. If the humidity is below the Indoor Humidity Setpoint, then
the Coil Temperature Setpoint will be increased by a maximum of 5ºF.
Units with 2 Digital Compressors
This application requires 2 Suction Pressure Transducers. The lowest
Coil Temperature is used for the Compressor control. Two Stages of
Cooling need to be confi gured for the 2 Compressors. When mechanical
cooling is active, the Compressors will modulate to maintain the Coil
Temperature Setpoint.
The First Stage of Cooling will modulate up. If the First Stage reaches
100% for the Stage Up Delay and the Coil T emperature is above the Coil
Temperature Setpoint, then the Second Stage of Cooling will activate.
The First Stage of Cooling will Lock at 100% and modulate the Second
Stage of Cooling.
If the second compressor reaches 0% for the Stage Down Delay and
the Coil T emperature is below the Coil Temperature Setpoint minus the
Cooling Stage Control Window, then the Second Stage of Cooling will
deactivate. The fi rst Compressor will then modulate to maintain the Coil
Temperature Setpoint.
Units with 4 Digital Compressors (Dual Unit)
The Compressors will Stage Up and Stage Down the same as 2 Digital
Compressors. Number 1 Compressors from both units will modulate
together and number 2 Compressors from both units will modulate
together.
This application requires 2 Suction Pressure Transducers. The lowest
Coil Temperature is used for the Compressor control.
Units with 1 Digital Compressor and
1 ON/OFF Compressor
This application requires 2 Suction Pressure Transducers. The lowest

Dehumidifi cation Mode
The First Stage (Digital Compressor) will modulate up. If the First Stage
stays above 100% for the Stage Up Delay and the Coil Temperature is
above the Coil Temperature Setpoint, then the Second Stage (ON/OFF
Compressor) will activate. The First Compressor will modulate between
70-100% to provide energy in the Reheat Coil.
If the Digital Compressor stays at 70% for the Stage Down Delay and
the Coil T emperature is below the Coil Temperature Setpoint minus the
Cooling Stage Control Window, then the Second Stage will deactivate.
Units with 2 Digital Compressors and 2 ON/
OFF Compressors (Dual Unit)
The Compressors will Stage Up and Stage Down similar to 1 Digital
Compressor and 1 ON/OFF Compressor. The two Digital Compressors
modulate together as Stage One. The two ON/OFF Compressors are
considered the 2nd and 3rd Stage of Cooling.
This application requires 2 Suction Pressure Transducers. The lowest
Coil Temperature is used for the Compressor control.
The fi rst Stage (2 Digital Compressors) will modulate up. If the First
Stage stays above 100% for the Stage Up Delay and the Coil Temperature is above the Coil T emperature Setpoint, then the Second Stage
will activate. The First Compressor will modulate between 70-100%
to provide energy in the Reheat Coil. This sequence will repeat for the
Third Cooling Stage.
If the two Digital Compressors stay at 70% for the Stage Down Delay
and the Coil T emperature is below the Coil T emperature Setpoint minus
the Cooling Stage Control Window, then the Second Stage will deactivate. This sequence will repeat for the Third Cooling Stage.
Dehumidifi cation Confi guration Options
The SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured to have Dehumidifi cation
Priority. If confi gured, the SA E-BUS Controller will enter the Dehu-
midifi cation Mode when the Dewpoint or Humidity is above the Setpoint
regardless of the current Heating or Cooling demands. The Reheat is
always controlled to the Active Supply Air Cooling Temperature Setpoint. The Active Supply Air Cooling T emperature Setpoint will change
during Heating, Cooling, or Vent Modes. During the Vent Mode, the
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint will be a Calculated Setpoint that is
halfway between the HVAC Mode Setpoints.
If Dehumidifi cation Priority has not been confi gured, the SA E-BUS
Controller will only enter the Dehumidifi cation Mode during the Vent
Mode. The Reheat will be controlled to a Calculated Supply Air Temperature Setpoint that is halfway between the HVAC Mode Setpoints.
Night Dehumidifi cation can also be confi gured and is used primarily
for CAV units that require an Unoccupied Mode of Dehumidifi cation.
Night Dehumidifi cation is only activated when the Indoor Air Humidity
is above the Indoor Air Humidity Setpoint during the Unoccupied Mode.
Reheat Control
This application requires that at least one Cooling Stage is active. The
Modulating Hot Gas Reheat Valve Controller (MHGR V) will modulate
the Reheat Valve to maintain the Supply Air Setpoint.
During the Dehumidifi cation Mode, the SA E-BUS Controller activates
Cooling to extract moisture from the Supply Air and utilizes either
Modulating Hot Gas Reheat, On/Off Hot Gas Reheat, or Heating to
warm the Supply Air before entering the building. Modulating Hot Gas
Reheat is the standard form of Reheat. The HVAC unit’s Heat Source
or a Heat Source located in the Supply Air Duct can be used for Reheat
if the unit is not equipped with Hot Gas Reheat.
If the unit is equipped with a Modulating Hot Gas Reheat Controller,
it is automatically detected by the SA E-BUS Controller. In Dehumidifi cation Mode, as the Cooling causes the Supply Air Temperature to
drop, the MHGRV will bypass Hot Gas to the Hot Gas Reheat Coil,
raising the Supply Air Temperature back up to the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint.
If the unit is equipped with an On/Off Hot Gas Valve, then one of the
relays will be confi gured for Reheat. The Reheat Relay will be activated
if the Supply Air Temperature is less than the HVAC Mode Enable
Heating Setpoint. The Hot Gas Reheat Relay will remain on during the
Dehumidifi cation Mode regardless of the Supply Air T emperature. This
is to ensure a steady Supply Air Temperature.
When Heating is used for Reheat instead of Hot Gas Reheat, the SA EBUS Controller can activate the Heat Source(s) discussed in the Heating
Mode section. Heating can also be used in conjunction with Hot Gas
Reheat to add additional Reheat for applications that require a higher
Supply Air Temperature than what Hot Gas Reheat can provide. When
Heating is used in conjunction with Reheat, the SA E-BUS Controller
restricts the Heating to one form of Modulating Heat or one stage of
External Heat.
Coil Temperature Offset
On systems that have the condensing unit mounted a considerable distance from the air handling unit, the actual Evaporator Coil T emperature
can be quite a bit different than the Calculated Coil T emperature based on
the Suction Pressure Transducer reading in the condensing unit. Y ou can
put in a temperature offset to the Calculated Coil T emperature reading so
that it will more closely match the actual Evaporator Coil T emperature.
For example, the Suction Pressure Transducer in the condensing unit
may give you a Calculated Coil Temperature reading of 30ºF, but the
actual temperature of the Evaporator Coil in the air handler may be 45ºF .
To compensate, you can put in a 15ºF of fset so that the Calculated Coil
Temperature reading will read 45ºF. This of fset prevents the unit from
shutting off compressors prematurely based on the fi xed 32ºF Suction
Temperature Low Limit Safety Cutoff Temperature. The maximum
amount of offset allowed is ± 30ºF.
NOTE: Compressor Lockout Setpoints are ignored during
dehumidification as the compressors are controlled by coil
temperature.

Sequence of Operations
Heating Mode
Zone

Heating Mode
Occupied Heating Mode occurs whenever the HVAC Mode Enable
Temperature falls one deadband below the HVAC Heating Mode Enable Setpoint. The unit will leave the Heating Mode when the HVAC
Mode Enable Temperature rises one deadband above the HVAC Heating Mode Enable Setpoint. Unoccupied Heating Mode only occurs if
a Space Temperature Sensor is connected to the SA E-BUS Controller
or a broadcast of Space T emperature is being received from an General
Broadcast Device (GBD-X).
The Mechanical Heating will be disabled if the Entering Air T emperature
is above the Heating Lockout Setpoint by 1°F . This gives a 2°F hysteresis
around the Heating Lockout Setpoint to prevent unwanted cycling in
and out of Mechanical Heating Mode. If the Entering Air Temperature
disables the Mechanical Heating while it is currently operating, the Mechanical Heating will stage off if all staging and run times are satisfi ed.
No matter which Sensor is confi gured for the HVAC Mode Enable, the
Supply Air Temperature is always controlled to the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint while in Heating Mode.
Stage Control Window
In the Heating Mode, as the Supply Air Temperature falls below the
Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint, the Heating Stages will begin
to stage on based on the Heating Stage Up Delay. The Heating Stages
will continue to run until the Supply Air Temperature rises above the
Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint plus the Heating Stage Control Window. For example, if the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint is
140°F and the Heating Stage Control Window is 5F, as the Supply Air
Temperature rises above 145F, the Heating Stages will begin to stage
off based on the Heating Stage Down Delay.
Modulating Hot Water or Steam Heating
One Stage of Heating needs to be confi gured for the Modulating Hot
W ater or Modulating Steam Valve. When the Hot Water or Steam Valve
is active, the V alve will modulate to maintain the Active Heating Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint.
The Modulating Heating Proportional Window is used to determine the
signal to the Modulating Heating Source and is user-adjustable. The
Modulating Heating Signal is calculated by the differential between
the Supply Air Temperature and the Active Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint based on the Modulating Heating Proportional Window. The
maximum signal adjustment per Time Period is 10% and is not useradjustable. The minimum signal adjustment per Time Period is based on
the Modulating Heating Proportional Window . The lar ger the Modulating
Heating Proportional Window , the smaller the signal adjustment will be
per Time Period. The Time Period is the delay between another increase
or decrease in the Modulating Heating source signal and is user-adjustable. For example, if the Modulating Heating Proportional Window is
5°F, the signal will be adjusted 2% per °F each Time Period above or
below the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. When the Supply
Air Temperature is above or below the Active Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint by 5°F or more, the signal will adjust 10% each Time Period.
The SA E-BUS Controller can activate two forms of Heating that are
classifi ed as Primary and Secondary Heat Sources. The Primary Heat
Source used can be SCR Electric Heat, Modulating Hot Water Heat, or
Modulating Steam Heat.
External Heat
The SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured to control heat sources that
are external to the SA Unit. Contact WattMaster Controls for options
that can be used in your application.
Heating Staging Delay
Minimum Off Time
A Heating Stage cannot be activated unless it has been off for this
amount of time.
Minimum Run Time
After a Heating Stage has been activated, it must remain on for
this amount of time.
Staging Up Delay
After the fi rst Heating Stage has been activated, this delay pre-
vents additional stages from activating too quickly before they are
needed to achieve the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
Staging Down Delay
After a Heating Stage has met its Minimum Run Time and is not
needed, this delay prevents additional stages from deactivating too
quickly in case they are needed to maintain the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint.
The SA E-BUS Controller supports various forms of Modulating Heat
such as SCR Electric Heat, Modulating Hot Water Heat, and Modulating Steam Heat. Whichever form of Modulating Heating is used, the SA
E-BUS Controller will modulate the Heat Source to achieve the Active
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
Air to Air Heat Pump Operation
The SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured for Heat Pump applica-
tions. The compressors are used for both Heating and Cooling. W ith the
SA E-BUS Controller, the Reversing Valve is activated during Heating
operation as the default because
fail to Cooling operation. The Reversing Valve can be confi gured to
activate during Cooling operation for equipment that is built to fail to
Heating operation.
Auxiliary Heating Stages are confi gured as Heat Relays and are used to
supplement the Compressor Heating Stages. If the unit is not equipped
with Auxiliary Heating Stages, Heating Relays do not need to be confi g-
ured in order for the unit to provide Heating. Auxiliary Heating can also
be Modulating Heat in the form of SCR Electric, Hot Water, or Steam.
The Cooling and Dehumidifi cation Modes operate in the same manner
as described under the Cooling and Dehumidifi cation titled sections
on pages 41 through 45 of this manual. In the Heating Mode, the SA
E-BUS Controller activates the Reversing Valve and stages compressors to provide Heating if the Entering Air Temperature (EAT) is above
the EAT Cooling Lockout Setpoint. The compressor heating stages are
activated as needed to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint.
Staged or Modulating Auxiliary Heat can be activated to supplement
Compressor Heating in order to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint if the EAT is below the EAT Heating Lockout Setpoint. If
the EAT is below the EAT Cooling Lockout Setpoint, only Auxiliary
Heating will occur. If the EAT is above the EAT Heating Lockout, only
Compressor Heating will occur.

Sequence of Operations
SAT Setpoint Reset
For SA applications with an installed Suction Pressure Transducer, a
Head Pressure Module and a Head Pressure Transducer(s), a Defrost
Mode is available during the Heat Pump Heating operation. The SA EBUS Controller converts the Suction Pressure to a Suction T emperature.
A user-adjustable Suction Temperature Setpoint determines when the
unit will go into Defrost Mode during Heat Pump Heating. The unit
will operate in Defrost Mode for 10 minutes or until the Head Pressure
reaches 450 PSIG.
An Adaptive Defrost Adjustment confi guration is available that will
automatically adjust the length of the Defrost Timer (interval between
Defrost Modes) depending on if the unit stays in Defrost Mode for the
full 10 minutes or leaves the Defrost Mode early because of reaching a
Head Pressure of 450 PSIG. If Adaptive Defrost is confi gured and the
Defrost Mode is terminated because the 10 minute timer has elapsed,
this could indicate that the unit needs more defrost time. In this case,
the Adaptive Defrost Adjustment value will be subtracted from the
original Defrost Timer to shorten the interval between defrost cycles.
If the Defrost Cycle is terminated between the 8th and 9th minute, the
Defrost Timer value will not be changed. If the Defrost Cycle is terminated before the 8th minute, this could indicate that the Defrost Timer
is too short. In this case the Adaptive Defrost Adjustment value will
be inversely proportionally added to the original Defrost Timer as the
termination time shortens from 8 minutes to 0 minutes.
Water Source Heat Pump Operation
For Water Source Heat Pump applications, the SA E-BUS Controller
is used in conjunction with the Water Source Heat Pump Protection
Module. Heating, Cooling, and Dehumidifi cation would operate in the
same manner as described in Air to Air Heat Pump Operation; however ,
defrost operation would not apply.
If you have stand-alone VAV boxes that need to be forced wide open
during the Warm-Up Mode, you can confi gure one of the relay outputs
to be used during this Mode. If the Warm-Up Mode is active, the relay
is activated. This relay then becomes the Force Open Command for all
VAV boxes to which it is wired.
Off Mode
If the schedule has set the Unoccupied Mode and no Heating, Cooling,
or Dehumidifi cation demands exist, the SA E-BUS Controller enters the
Off Mode. During the Off Mode, the Supply Fan is off.
Supply Air T emperature Setpoint R eset
The SA E-BUS Controller incorporates a dynamic Supply Air T emperature Reset function based on a selected Reset Source. The available
Reset Source options are Space T emperature, Entering Air T emperature,
Supply Fan VFD Signal, or a Remote Reset Signal. In each case, for
the heating mode and the cooling mode, a Low and a High Reset Source
Setpoint must be entered that will correspond to a Low and High Supply
Air Setpoint. Since the Supply Air Setpoints are not fi xed during reset,
we refer to them as the “Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoints.”
The SA E-BUS Controller uses the HVAC Mode Enable Setpoints to
determine the mode of operation. Once the HVAC Mode has been determined, the SA E-BUS Controller will proportionally reset the Supply
Air T emperature Setpoint based on the Reset Source condition relative to
the Reset Source Low and High Setpoints. For each of the Reset Source
options discussed below there is an example of how to set it up in the SA
E-BUS Controller Operator Interfaces T echnical Guide in the Supply Air
Reset confi guration screens #4 & #5 and setpoint screens #4 through #7.
The Water Source Heat Pump Protection Module provides safeties for
Proof of Flow, Low/Unsafe Suction Pressure, and Low Leaving Water
Temperature. An E-BUS Distribution Module is used to provide communication from the SA E-BUS Controller to the Water Source Heat
Pump Protection Module.
For more detailed sequence and wiring information, see the AAON T ulsa
version of the Water Source Heat Pump Protection Module Technical Guide.
Morning Warm-Up Mode
For Morning W arm-Up application, the unit must be confi gured as a V A V
unit (Supply Air Temperature control). When the SA E-BUS Controller
switches to the Occupied Mode of Operation (not Override Mode), the
unit compares the Entering Air Temperature to a Morning Warm-Up
Target Temperature. If the Entering Air Temperature is below this Setpoint, the W arm-Up Mode is initiated. This Mode remains in effect until
the Entering Air Temperature rises above the Target Temperature or a
user-adjustable Time Period expires. W arm-Up Mode is not initiated by
Push-Button Overrides or Unoccupied Heating demands.
Once the Warm-Up Mode has been terminated, it cannot resume until
the unit has been through a subsequent Unoccupied Mode. Only one
Warm-Up Mode is allowed per Occupied cycle.
If you confi gure Space Temperature or Entering Air Temperature as
the Reset Source, then separately, for the heating mode and the cooling
mode you will need to enter a Low and High Reset Source Setpoint
and a Low and High Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. This creates a
range of Reset Source T emperature Setpoints and a range of Supply Air
Temperature Setpoints. As the Reset Source Temperature varies within
its range, it will proportionally reset the Supply Air T emperature Setpoint
within its reset range. When the temperature at the Reset Source is at
the Reset Source Low Setpoint, the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint
would be reset to the Supply Air High Setpoint. When the temperature
at the Reset Source is at the Reset Source High Setpoint, the Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint would be reset to the Supply Air Low Setpoint.
When the temperature at the Reset Source is in between its Low and High
Setpoints, the Supply Air Setpoint will be proportionally reset between
its High and Low Setpoints. When the unit is in the Vent Mode or Vent
Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint will be
calculated to be halfway between the HV AC Mode Enable Setpoints. If
Dehumidifi cation Priority has been confi gured and the unit is in Heating
Dehumidifi cation or Cooling Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint is proportionally reset in the same way as in the
Heating and Cooling Modes described above in this paragraph.
If the Supply Fan VFD Signal is confi gured as the Reset Source, then
separately, for the heating mode and the cooling mode, you will need
to enter a Low and High VFD Signal Setpoint and a Low and a High
Supply Air Setpoint. This creates a range of VFD Signal Setpoints and

a range of Supply Air Temperature Setpoints. As the VFD Signal varies
within its range, it will proportionally reset the Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint within its range. For example, in the Cooling Mode, when the
Supply Fan VFD Signal is at its low setpoint, the Supply Air Cooling
Setpoint will be reset to its high setpoint; when the Supply Fan VFD
signal is at its high setpoint, the Supply Air Cooling Setpoint will be
reset to its low setpoint. In the heating mode, the Supply Air Heating
Setpoint reset would react in the opposite fashion with the VFD signal at
its highest setpoint the Supply Air Heating Setpoint is reset to its highest
setpoint, and with the VFD signal at its lowest setpoint the Supply Air
Heating Setpoint is reset to its lowest setpoint. In either mode, if the
VFD signal is halfway (for instance) between the Low Signal Setpoint
and the High Signal Setpoint, the Supply Air Setpoint would be reset
to halfway between its High and Low Setpoint. If Dehumidifi cation
Priority has been confi gured and the unit is in Heating Dehumidifi ca-
tion or Cooling Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint is proportionally reset in the same way as in the Heating and
Cooling Modes described above in this paragraph. When the unit is in
the Vent Mode or Vent Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Supply Air Tem-
perature Setpoint will be calculated to be halfway between the HVAC
Mode Enable Setpoints.
If a Remote Reset Signal is confi gured as the Reset Source, a 0-5 or 0-10
VDC signal can be used to reset the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
Separately, for the Heating Mode and the Cooling Mode you will need
to enter a Low and a High Supply Air Setpoint.
As an example when using a 0-5 VDC signal, when the Reset Signal
is at 0 VDC, the Supply Air Setpoint will be at its lowest setpoint for
both Heating and Cooling. When the Reset Signal is at 5 VDC, the
Supply Air Setpoint will be at it highest setpoint for both Heating and
Cooling. As the voltage signal changes between 0 VDC and 5 VDC, the
Supply Air Setpoint will be proportionally reset between the Low and
High Supply Air Temperature Setpoint for both Heating and Cooling. If
Dehumidifi cation Priority has been confi gured and the unit is in Heating
Dehumidifi cation or Cooling Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint is proportionally reset in the same way as in the
Heating and Cooling Modes described above in this paragraph. When
the unit is in the V ent Mode or V ent Dehumidifi cation Mode, the Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint will be calculated to be halfway between the
HVAC Mode Enable Setpoints.
Duct Static Pressure Control
The SA E-BUS Controller reads and controls Static Pressure in the duct
system if the Supply Fan has been confi gured for Duct Static Pressure
Control. Any time the Supply Fan is operating, the SA E-BUS Controller
is controlling Duct Static Pressure. The Duct Static Pressure Setpoint
and Deadband limits are user-adjustable along with a Control Interval.
This Control Interval is the amount of time that elapses between each
adjustment to the Duct Static Pressure Control Output Signal. The default
period is 10 seconds and should not be changed unless close observation reveals that the Supply Fan is hunting and not maintaining a stable
pressure reading. The Static Pressure Control Output Signal can be used
to control a Supply Fan VFD or a Zoning Bypass Damper Actuator.
The Duct Static Pressure Control Output Signal is a non-confi gurable
Direct Acting Signal (0-10 VDC). This Output Signal can be used to
directly connect to a Supply Fan VFD. The Output Signal increases
(increases VFD Speed) if the Duct Static Pressure is below the Duct
Static Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount, and the Output Signal
decreases (decreases VFD Speed) if the Static Pressure is above the
Setpoint by the Deadband amount.
Since the Duct Static Pressure Control Output Signal is a non-confi g-
urable Direct Acting Signal (0-10 VDC), when you are using a Zoning
Bypass Damper Actuator to control the Duct Static Pressure, you must set
up the Zoning Bypass Damper Actuator on the Zoning Bypass Damper
so that it is Reverse Acting in operation. The Output Signal increases
(closes Zoning Bypass Damper) if the Duct Static Pressure is below the
Duct Static Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount, and the Output
Signal decreases (opens Zoning Bypass Damper) if the Static Pressure
is above the Setpoint by the Deadband amount.
If the Static Pressure ever rises 0.5” above the Duct Static Pressure
Setpoint, the Duct Static Pressure Control Output Signal will be cut
in half every control period until the Static Pressure is brought under
control. This is to prevent damage to the ductwork if all the VAV
boxes are closed or some other blockage occurs in the ductwork.
Warning: The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for
protecting the equipment from over-pressurization! You should
always install mechanical high static protection cutoffs to protect
your system!
Supply Fan Control
Any time the Supply Fan is requested to start, a timer is checked to make
sure the Supply Fan has been off for at least 1 minute. This 1-minute
delay is a protection against rapid cycling of the Supply Fan. Once the
1-minute delay has been satisfi ed, the Supply Fan relay is activated and
all other outputs are verifi ed to be in the off condition for a period of 1 to 2
minutes. This short period of Supply Fan-Only Operation serves to purge
the stagnant air from the duct before any Heating or Cooling occurs.
Normally, the Supply Fan runs continuously during the Occupied Mode
of operation. If the fan is only required to run in the Occupied Mode
during Heating, Cooling, or Dehumidifi cation Modes, the SA E-BUS
Controller can be confi gured for Fan Cycle Mode. This means the Fan
will only run during Heating, Cooling, or Dehumidifi cation and will be
off the rest of the time.
48
SA E-BUS Controller Technical Guide
Any time the Supply Fan is off, the Duct Static Pressure Control Output
Signal will remain at zero volts. If the Supply Fan control is not confi gured for Duct Static Pressure Control, you can still monitor the Duct
Static Pressure if the Duct Static Pressure Sensor is installed; however,
no control will occur.
Duct Static Pressure Control for Filter
Loading
In order to maintain a constant CFM through the supply air ducts on a
mixed air CAV unit, the SA E-BUS Controller can utilize a Duct Static
Pressure Sensor (used to monitor the discharge pressure) in conjunction
with a Supply Fan VFD. If the fi lters are getting dirty, the SA E-BUS
Controller will ramp up the VFD to compensate for the decrease in
airfl ow. To utilize this feature, the unit must be confi gured to use VFD
Fan Control. This feature cannot be used if this is a VAV or Zoning
application with typical Duct Static Pressure Control.

Sequence of Operations
Pre-Heater Operation, Entering Air Lockouts & Supply Air Cutoffs
Pre-Heater Operation
In colder climates where freezing temperatures are sometimes experienced, it is desirable to preheat the Entering Air being drawn into the
HVAC unit before it reaches the Water Coils to prevent freezing. The
Pre-Heater control option is available by setting a Low Ambient Protection Setpoint and by confi guring one of the relay outputs as a Pre-Heater.
Only one relay can be confi gured for this option, and therefore, staging
of Pre-heater relays is not available. The Pre-Heater operation will only
operate in the Occupied Mode.
The Pre-Heater sequence operates so that any time during the Occupied
mode, if the Entering Air T emperature is below the Low Ambient Protection Setpoint and the Supply Fan is running, the Pre-heater Relay will
activate. It will remain on until the Entering Air Temperature rises 1°F
above the Setpoint or until the Supply Fan shuts down. If the Proof of
Flow option is installed and confi gured, its signal must also be active
for the Pre-Heater Relay to activate.
Entering Air Lockouts
The Entering Air Cooling and Heating Lockouts Setpoints are designed
to prevent unwanted Mechanical Heating or Cooling operation during
certain Entering Air Temperature conditions.
When the Entering Air Temperature is below the Cooling Lockout
Setpoint, no Mechanical Cooling can operate. However, if the unit is
equipped with a Water Side Economizer (WSE) and the SA E-BUS
Controller is confi gured to use the WSE, it can be used to provide free
Cooling when the Mechanical Cooling is locked out. For Heat Pumps,
the Cooling Lockout also applies to Compressor Heating, which means
it usually will be a lower setting than on Cooling units that are not Heat
Pumps.
Supply Air Cutoffs
The Supply Air Temperature Cutoffs are designed to prevent extremely
High and Low Temperature Supply Air from entering the building.
High Supply Air Temperature Cutoff
High Supply Air Temperature Cutoff is initiated when the Supply Air
Temperature rises above the HI SAT Cutoff Setpoint. When this occurs,
Heating stages will be deactivated until the Supply Air Temperature falls
5°F below the HI SAT Cutoff Setpoint.
Low Supply Air Temperature Cutoff
Low Supply Air Temperature Cutoff is initiated when the Supply Air
Temperature falls below the LO SAT Cutoff Setpoint. If the SA E-BUS
Controller is in WSE Operation, Vent Mode, or Heating Mode and the
Supply Air Temperature falls below the LO SAT Cutof f Setpoint for 10
minutes, it is assumed a Mechanical Failure has occurred and all Heating will be deactivated and the Supply Air Fan will shut off. If the SA
E-BUS Controller is in the Cooling or Dehumidifi cation Mode and the
Supply Air Temperature falls below the LO SAT Cutoff Setpoint, the
Cooling Signal or Cooling Stages will immediately begin deactivating.
To restore normal operation, one of the following three things must occur:
1. The Supply Air Temperature rises above the LO SAT Cutoff Setpoint by 5°F.
2. The SA E-BUS Controller goes from Occupied to
Unoccupied or from Unoccupied to Occupied Mode.
3. The SA E-BUS Controller’s power is cycled.
The Entering Air Heating Lockout operates so that when the Entering
Air Temperature is above the Entering Air Heating Lockout Setpoints,
no Mechanical Heating can operate. This applies to any type of Heating
except Compressor Heating as used on Heat Pumps. The lockout for
Compressor Heating is explained in the previous paragraph regarding
Cooling Lockout Setpoints.

Supply Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm
The Supply Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm is generated when the
controller detects an open or short circuit on the Supply Air Temperature
Sensor input. Once the alarm is generated, the unit will be completely
shut down. If a sensor is properly detected after the unit has alarmed,
the alarm will be cleared and the unit will restart operations.
Entering Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm
The Entering Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm is generated when
the controller detects an open or short circuit on the Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor input.
Space Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm
If the Space Sensor is confi gured as the Controlling Sensor (Mode En-
able Sensor) or as the Reset Sensor, and if the controller detects an open
or short circuit on the Space Sensor input, then a Space Temperature
Sensor Failure Alarm is generated. If the Space Sensor is confi gured as
the Controlling Sensor and the Failure Alarm is generated, the unit will
shut down. If the Space Sensor is only confi gured as a Reset Sensor and
the Failure Alarm is generated, the Space Temperature will default to a
value half way between the Heating and Cooling Mode Enable Setpoints,
and the unit will continue to run.
Mechanical Failure Alarms
Mechanical Cooling Failure
The Mechanical Cooling Failure Alarm is generated if the Supply Air
Temperature fails to drop 5 degrees (within a user-adjustable time period) from the temperature the supply air was at when the cooling was
activated. The alarm will be cleared when the Supply Air Temperature
drops the 5 degrees and sets the failure timer back to zero. This alarm
does not apply for Modulating Cooling.
Mechanical Heating Failure
The Mechanical Heating Failure Alarm is generated if the Supply Air
Temperature fails to rise 5 degrees (within a user-adjustable time period) from the temperature the supply air was at when the heating was
activated. The alarm will be cleared when the Supply Air Temperature
rises the 5 degrees and sets the failure timer back to zero. This alarm
does not apply for Modulating Heating.
Proof of Air Flow Alarm
A Proof of Flow switch (by others) provides a 24 VAC wet contact
closure when the Supply Fan is operating. If this contact opens while
the fan is being called to run, all heating and cooling is disabled, and
a Fan Proving Alarm is generated. Fan Proving needs to be confi gured
for this alarm to occur.
Dirty Filter Alarm
A differential pressure switch (by others) is used to provide a 24 VAC
wet contact closure to indicate a dirty fi lter status. A Dirty Filter Alarm is
then generated. Dirty Filter needs to be confi gured for this alarm to occur.
Emergency Shutdown (Smoke) Alarm
A 24 VAC wet contact input is available to be used when a N.C. Smoke
Detector, Firestat, or other shutdown condition occurs. If this contact
opens, it will initiate shutdown of the SA and will generate an alarm condition. This contact closure does not produce an instantaneous shutdown.
Emergency Shutdown needs to be confi gured for this alarm to occur.
For instantaneous shutdown, the device initiating the open condition
on this contact should also be wired to cut the 24 V common to the SA
relay outputs.
Proof of Water Flow Failure
A Proof of Water Flow Switch, that provides a wet contact closure
whenever the Condenser Water Valve is operating, can be connected
to this unit.
If the Proof of Flow Switch contact opens while the Condenser Water
Valve is operating, the unit will enter the Water Proof of Flow Failure
mode. In this mode, the mechanical cooling will be deactivated and the
Condenser Water Valve will be forced to 100%.
The unit will exit this mode when the Water Proof of Flow Switch is
closed again and water fl ow is proven.
Drain Pan Overfl ow Failure
A Drain Pan Overfl ow Switch provides a wet contact closure whenever
the Supply Fan is operating and the Drain Pan is not in an overfl ow
condition. If this contact opens while the Supply Fan is operating, the
controller will enter Drain Pan Overfl ow Failure Mode and deactivate
mechanical cooling.

Failure Mode Alarms
High and Low Supply Temp Alarm
These alarms are activated when the Supply Air Temperature (SAT)
rises above the High Cutoff T emperature Setpoint (immediate) or drops
below the Low Cutoff Temperature Setpoint (for 10 minutes). Both
cutoff setpoints are user-adjustable. This mode shuts off the unit (with
a 3 minute fan off delay) until the mode is cancelled.
This mode is cancelled when the SAT drops 5 degrees below the High
Cutoff Temperature Setpoint or rises 5 degrees above the Low Temp
Cutoff Temperature Setpoint, or when the unit changes back into Occupied Operation.
High and Low Control Temp Failure
When the Controlling Sensor T emperature rises above the Cooling Mode
Enable Setpoint plus the Control Mode High Alarm Offset setpoint, the
controller will generate a High Control Temp Failure Alarm.
When the Controlling Sensor Temperature drops below the Heating
Mode Enable Setpoint minus the Control Mode Low Alarm Offset setpoint, the controller will generate a Low Control Temp Failure Alarm.
Both offset setpoints are user-adjustable.
Module Alarm
This alarm applies to any E-BUS Module communicating with the SA
E-BUS Controller. The E-BUS modules include the T wo Condenser Head
Pressure Module and W ater Source Heat Pump Module. If any of these
modules stop communicating with the SA E-BUS Controller or if there is
an alarm on one of these modules, this Module Alarm will be generated.

Y ou can change the time on the SA E-BUS Controller through the Modular Service T ool, Modular System Manager, or the System Manager TS.
Y ou can also broadcast the time and date to all SA E-BUS Controllers by
using a Personal Computer and the Prism Computer Front-End Software.
The Internal Scheduling in the SA E-BUS Controller also includes a
Self-Teaching Optimal Start Routine that can be activated by entering
a value of 1.0 or greater for the Soak Multiplier Setpoint. The Optimal
Start function can only be used if your SA E-BUS Controller has a Space
Temperature Sensor installed and it is being used as the Controlling
Sensor or if you are using WattMaster VAV/Zone controllers with the
SA E-BUS Controller.
No adjustments other than the Soak Multiplier are required because the
SA E-BUS Controller monitors how long it takes to reach the Target
Temperature each day and adjusts the Starting Time accordingly. That
means the fi rst day you operate your HVAC unit, it will not be able to
Optimally Start because it does not have a history of previous Starts
and their results. After the fi rst day, the SA E-BUS Controller will begin
adjusting the Start Time, and after six Normally Scheduled Starts have
occurred, the Optimal Start Routine will have gathered enough data
to provide an accurate Pre-Start based on the learned conditions. This
is an ongoing learning process of the six previous starts, so the unit
automatically adjusts for the changing seasons. If you don’t need this
feature, but you are using the Space Temperature Sensor as the Controlling Sensor, you can set the Soak Multiplier to zero to eliminate the
Optimal Start Routines.
Internal Trend Logging
The SA E-BUS Controller continuously maintains an Internal Trend
Log, which records a fi xed set of values at a user-programmed interval.
These values can be retrieved only with the Prism Computer Front-End
Software. If you do not have a computer with Prism Software installed
and connected to the system communications loop, you do not have
access to these logs.
There are 120 log positions available. Once the last (120th) position
has been recorded, the log jumps back to the fi rst position and begins
overwriting the old data. This means the you will need to retrieve the
logs at an interval that is shorter than the duration of the last 120 logs
Shown below are some log intervals and the duration of 120 logs.

Force Modes or Overrides
Warning: No equipment protection is available during the
Force Mode of operation. That means you could start a compressor
without running the Supply Fan or could create other conditions
that WILL damage the equipment. WattMaster Controls assumes
no responsibility or liability for the misuse of Overrides that cause
damage to the equipment!
Sequence of Operations
VAV Applications
If you are using another manufacturer’s VAV Terminal Unit Controllers,
the SA E-BUS Controller can activate a relay to inform the VAV/Zone
Controllers that the SA E-BUS Controller is operating in Warm-up Mode.
No other information can be passed between the SA E-BUS Controller and the other manufacturer’s VAV Terminal Unit Controllers. This
means that Overrides or Unoccupied Heating and Cooling calls cannot
activate the SA E-BUS Controller . If you need any of these capabilities,
you must use only Orion VAV/Zone Controllers for controlling all of
your VAV Terminal Units.
The SA E-BUS Controller relay and analog outputs can be user-overridden if the Modular Service Tool or the Prism Computer Front-End
Software is used. The System Manager cannot be used for these Force
Modes. The Modes of operation for the relays are as follows:
0 = Normal Operation
1 = Forced ON
2 = Forced OFF
The Analog Outputs are Forced when you specify a value between 0.0
and 10.0 VDC. To cancel the Force Mode, you must enter a value less
than zero, such as -1.0 VDC.
When the Analog Outputs are Forced, the display on the Modular Service
Tool or Prism program can be interpreted as the actual voltage. During
normal operation, the display indicates the percentage signal applied
based on the user-defi ned voltage limits. For example, if you defi ne a
2.0 VDC to 10.0 VDC range, then 50% would be 6.0 VDC instead of
the 5.0 VDC applied when the range is 0.0 VDC to 10.0 VDC.
As previously mentioned, Force Modes can only be activated when using either the Modular Service Tool or the Prism Computer Front-End
Software. Furthermore, the Override condition can only remain in effect
as long as one of these Operator Interface devices is connected and communicating with the SA E-BUS Controller. That means that you cannot
Force an Override condition and then walk away from the equipment
with the Override still active. The loss of communications, removal,
or shutdown of the Operator Interface will automatically terminate the
Override within 10 minutes. This protects the equipment and prevents
an Override condition from remaining active indefi nitely, resulting in
ineffi cient or dangerous operation of the equipment.
VAV Terminal Unit Controller
Compatibility
The SA E-BUS Controller is designed to communicate with Orion
VAV/Zone Controllers. The SA E-BUS Controller can be confi gured to
broadcast its Internal Schedule, Time, and Date, Fan and Heat Status, and
Supply Air Temperature. The SA E-BUS Controller can also broadcast
Force to Max or Force to Fixed Position during Morning Warm-up.
The Orion VAV/Zone Controllers broadcast Push-Button Overrides
from Unoccupied to Occupied. The controllers can also generate Unoccupied Heating and Cooling calls to the SA E-BUS Controller based
on Setbacks.
VAV/Zone System
When the SA E-BUS Controller goes into the Occupied Mode, it initiates
Morning W arm-up if the Entering Air T emperature is below the Morning
W arm-up Target Temperature Setpoint. During Morning Warm-Up, the
VAV/Zone Controllers will modulate open if the Space Temperatures
are too cold. They can also move to their Maximum Airfl ow or Fixed
Airfl ow Position Setpoint if they receive this broadcast from the SA E-
BUS Controller. Once Morning Warm-up has been satisfi ed, the SA E-
BUS Controller enters the Cooling Mode and the VAV/Zone Controllers
will modulate to satisfy their Space T emperature Setpoints. If the Space
Temperature falls below the Heating Setpoint, staged or modulating
Reheat can be activated to warm the space.
Communications between the SA E-BUS Controller and the VA V/Zone
Controllers are handled by the MiniLink Polling Device. Alarm Polling
and T enant Overrides are also monitored by the MiniLink Polling Device.
Tenant Overrides are overrides generated by the Space T emperature Sensor’s push button. The MiniLink Polling Device records the start and stop
times and total run times of the overrides on a daily and monthly basis.
A computer running Prism Computer Front-End Software is required to
retrieve all data acquired by the MiniLink Polling Device.
Zoning System
The SA E-BUS Controller automatically confi gures itself for Voting
Control when the MiniLink Polling Device is installed and is confi gured
as a Voting System. The SA E-BUS Controller sets the HVAC Mode
Enable to the Entering Air Temperature Sensor as soon as communication is acquired with the MiniLink Polling Device. If the VAV/Zone
controllers are confi gured for V oting, the MiniLink Polling Device totals
the Heating and Cooling demands and determines which HVAC Mode
the SA E-BUS Controller should be in. The MiniLink Polling Device
broadcasts a forced Heating, Cooling, or Vent Mode of operation to
the SA E-BUS Controller. Once the SA E-BUS Controller receives the
broadcast to set the HVAC Mode, it operates as previously described in
the SA E-BUS Controller Sequence of Operations. If communications
are lost, the SA E-BUS Controller returns to its own control and will
maintain the HVAC Mode Enable Setpoints by using the Entering Air
Temperature Sensor as the Controlling Sensor.

Troubleshooting
LED Diagnostics
Zone
Zone
Using LEDs To Verify Operation
The SA E-BUS Controller is equipped with 4 LEDs that can be used as
very powerful troubleshooting tools. See Figure 31 below for the LED
locations. The LEDs and their uses are as follows:
REC - This LED will light up to indicate system communications.
POWER - This LED will light up to indicate that 24 VAC power has
been applied to the controller.
STATUS 1 - This is the diagnostic blink code LED. It will light up
and blink out diagnostic codes. ST ATUS 1 LED also represents the tens
column in the address blink code.
STATUS 2 - This is the diagnostic blink code LED. It will light up and
blink out diagnostic codes. STATUS 2 LED also represents the ones
column in the address blink code.
POWER LED Operations
When the SA E-BUS Controller is powered up, the POWER LED should
light up and stay on continuously. If it does not light up, check to be
sure that you have 24 VAC connected to the controller, that the wiring
connections are tight, and that they are wired for the correct polarity. The
24 VAC power must be connected so that all ground wires remain common. If after making all these checks, the POWER LED does not light
up, please contact W attMaster Controls T echnical Support for assistance.
REC LED Operations
When power is applied to the controller, the REC LED will also light
up. If this is a Stand Alone System (one controller only on the loop) or
an Interconnected System (several SA E-BUS Controllers tied together
without a CommLink), the REC LED will glow continuously. The REC
LED will fl icker when you are connected to the SA E-BUS Controller
and you are entering setpoints with the Modular Service T ool or one of
the System Managers. It will also fl icker if this is a Networked System.
If this is a Networked System (the system has a CommLink installed),
the REC LED should fl icker rapidly, indicating that the system is com-
municating. A “fl icker” is defi ned as a brief moment when the LED
turns off and then back on. It may be easier to see this “fl icker” if you
cup your hand around the LED.
If the REC LED does not operate as indicated above, fi rst check the
address switch setting. Verify the address switch as outlined in the Diagnostic LEDs Operations section on page 55. See Figure 29 on page
36 for complete address switch setting instructions.
NOTE: ST ATUS 1 LED represents the tens position and STATUS
2 LED represents the ones position of the controller address. If the
address of the controller is set to 59 with the address switch, fi rst
STATUS 1 LED will blink 5 times, and then STATUS 2 LED will
blink 9 times.
If the address switch setting is correct and the REC LED still does not
behave as indicated above, check to be sure the operator’s interface is
connected correctly. If you are using the Modular Service Tool, verify
that it is plugged in securely to the DIN connection on the SA E-BUS
Controller. If you are using one of the System Manager Operator’s
Interfaces, see the SA E-BUS Controller Operator Interfaces Technical Guide or the System Manager TS Operator Interfaces Technical Guide
for a connection diagram.
If the REC LED still does not behave correctly, check the voltages at
the communications terminal block. Be sure the Controller is powered
up for this test. Unplug the communications terminal block from the
controller and check the DC voltage between T and SHLD and between
R and SHLD. Check the voltage with a digital multimeter set to DC
volts. The voltage should be between 3.0 to 3.2 VDC between SHLD
and either T or R. If the voltage is not in this range, you probably have
a damaged driver chip that must be replaced.
For driver chip replacement instructions, please see the Orion Controls SA E-BUS Controller Component & System W iring Technical Guide for
more information or contact the factory for further assistance.

Troubleshooting
LED Diagnostics
Diagnostic LED Operation
When power is fi rst applied, the STATUS 1 and STATUS 2 LEDs will
be off for 1 second. At this time, both LEDs will blink to indicate the
setting of the address switch and then will extinguish for 5 seconds.
Verify that the address switch setting is correct by counting the number
of blinks.
If the address switch is not correct, fi rst remove the communication
loop terminal plug from the controller and then from the power terminal
plug. Set the address dip switches correctly. See Figure 29 on page 36
for correct address switch setting instructions. After you are sure the
address switch setting is correct, fi rst reconnect the power connection
and then reconnect the communication loop connection to the controller.
NOTE: You must always cycle power to the Controller being
addressed after changing address switch settings in order for the
changes to take effect.
Reapply power to the controller and observe the blink code to verify
the address is set correctly. If the STATUS 1 and STATUS 2 LEDs now
blink the correct address, your controller is addressed correctly. If they
don’t light up at all, the controller is not operating correctly and could
be defective. Once the controller is done blinking the address, STATUS
2 LED will blink continuously for 30 seconds while the controller
calibrates. Once the controller is done calibrating, the LEDs will blink
a code every 10 seconds to indicate controller status. See Table 3 for a
list of the various blink codes and their meanings.

System Confi guration Options
The SA E-BUS Controller can be used as a Stand-Alone System (one
SA E-BUS Controller only), connected together on an Interconnected
System (multiple SA E-BUS Controllers only) or connected together
on a Network System (multiple SA E-BUS Controllers, VAV/Zone
Controllers, or Add-On Controllers) to form a complete Orion Controls
System that can be programmed and monitored with one or more of the
available Orion Operator Interfaces.
For detailed information about the various Orion Controls Systems that
are available and their related wiring requirements and options, please
see the Orion Systems Technical Guide.
Operator Interfaces
The Orion Operator Interfaces are designed to provide for programming
and monitoring of SA E-BUS Controller(s) and/or any VAV/Zone or
Add-on Controller(s) connected to your Orion System. The Operator
Interfaces available for use with the Orion Systems are as follows:
• Modular Service Tool SD
• Modular System Manager SD
• Personal Computer with Prism 2 Computer Front End
Software Installed
You can use any one of these interfaces or all of them on the same
Orion System.
Stand-Alone System
The Stand-Alone System is used when you have a single SA E-BUS
Controller only. Programming and status monitoring are accomplished
by selecting and installing one or more of the Operator Interfaces.
See Figure 33 on page 57 for a Typical Stand-Alone System Layout
diagram.
Interconnected System
The Interconnected System is used when you have multiple SA E-BUS
Controllers on your job. With this system, you simply connect the controllers together using WattMaster communications wire or 18-gauge,
2-conductor twisted pair with shield wire (Belden #82760 or equivalent).
This allows for all controllers that are connected on the communications
loop to be programmed and monitored from one or more of the available
Operator Interfaces connected on the communications loop.
See Figure 34 on page 58 for a Typical Interconnected System Layout
diagram.
Networked System
If you have 1 to 59 SA E-BUS Controllers that require information
sharing, simply connect the controllers together using W attMaster communications wire or 18-gauge, 2-conductor twisted pair with shield wire
(Belden #82760 or equivalent). The Networked Single Loop System
requires that either a MiniLink PD communication interface and/or
CommLink communication interface are purchased and wired into the
communications loop in a similar manner to the SA E-BUS Controllers.
The Networked Multiple Loop system is used when you have more
than 59 SA E-BUS Controllers and/or are using multiple SA E-BUS
Controllers that are connected to VAV/Zone controllers. These groups
of controllers are broken up into multiple “Local Loops” that connect
to each other via the “Network Loop.” Each individual MiniLink PD
handles its specifi c local loop’s communications requirements. The
CommLink communications interface handles all the communications
between the individual MiniLink PDs to form the network loop. Up to 60
local loops can be connected together with this confi guration. This pro-
vides the capability for over 3500 controllers to be networked together.
See Figure 35 on page 59 for a Typical Networked System Layout
diagram.

Temperature Sensor Testing
The following sensor voltage and resistance tables are provided to aid in
checking sensors that appear to be operating incorrectly. Many system
operating problems can be traced to incorrect sensor wiring. Be sure all
sensors are wired per the wiring diagrams in this manual.
If the sensors still do not appear to be operating or reading correctly,
check voltage and/or resistance to confi rm that the sensor is operating
correctly per the tables. Please follow the notes and instructions below
each chart when checking sensors.
Table 4, cont.: Temperature/Resistance for Type III
10K Ohm Thermistor Sensors
Thermistor Sensor Testing Instructions
Use the resistance column to check the thermistor sensor while
disconnected from the controllers (not powered).
Use the voltage column to check sensors while connected to powered
controllers. Read voltage with meter set on DC volts. Place the “-”
(minus) lead on GND terminal and the “+” (plus) lead on the sensor
input terminal being investigated.
If the voltage is above 5.08 VDC, then the sensor or wiring is “open.”
If the voltage is less than 0.05 VDC, then the sensor or wiring is

OE275-01 Suction Pressure
Transducer Testing for R410A
Refrigerant
The Evaporator Coil Temperature is calculated by converting the Suction Pressure to T emperature. The Suction Pressure is obtained by using
the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer , which is connected into the
Suction Line of the Compressor.
Use the voltage column to check the Suction Pressure Transducer while
connected to the SA Expansion Module. The SA E-BUS Controller and the
SA Expansion Module must be powered for this test. Read voltage with
a meter set on DC volts. Place the positive lead from the meter on the
PR OUT terminal located on the SA Expansion Module terminal block.
Place the negative lead from the meter on the ground (GND) terminal
located adjacent to the PR OUT terminal on the SA Expansion Module
terminal block. Use a refrigerant gauge set and/or an accurate electronic
thermometer to measure the temperature or suction line pressure near
where the Suction Pressure Transducer is connected to the suction line.
Measure the Voltage at the terminals PR OUT and GND terminals and
compare it to the appropriate chart depending on the refrigerant you
are using. If the temperature/voltage or pressure/voltage readings do
not align closely with the chart, your Suction Pressure Transducer is
probably defective and will need to be replaced.
See the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer , Pressure, T emperature,
and Voltage Chart for R410A Refrigerant testing (Table 7). The chart
show a temperature range from 20°F to 80°F. For troubleshooting purposes, the DC Voltage readings are also listed with their corresponding
temperatures and pressures.
