Features
The OE392-10 System Manager TS II (Touch Screen) provides a direct,
graphic-enhanced, menu-driven link to enable you to view the status and
adjust the setpoints of most controllers on the Orion Controls System.
(See Figure 1.)
The System Manager TS II provides the following useful functions:
• Provides a 4.3” 480 x 272 WQVGA RGB TFT LCD Graphical
Touch Screen LCD display with 16 million colors
• Utilizes a graphical touch screen menu system with easyto-understand menu trees and icons and non-cryptic, plain
English language messages
• Makes entering data quick and easy with instructions on each
confi guration and setpoint screen
• Graphic programming and status screens provide easy setup
and operation without the need for specialized training
• Provides protection from unauthorized users through integral
multi-level passcode authorization programming
• Comes equipped with real-time clock backup power supply
for short power losses
• Provides icons to indicate alarm conditions
System Requirements
• The System Manager TS II is packaged and assembled as fl ushwall mount. Surface mount components are also included for
your convenience.
• If using the surface mount version, you will need a double
duplex outlet box (by others).
• The System Manager TS II only works with the following
VAV/Zone Controller EPROMs: SS1001, SS1005, SS1025
• The System Manager TS II only works with the following
VCM, VCM-X, VCM-X Modular, VCM-X WSHP, and
VCB-X Controller EPROMs: All standard SS1016, SS1026,
SS1030, SS1032, SS1033, SS1034, SS1051 and later
*• USB-Link, CommLink, or MiniLink Polling Device
*NOTE: Alarm polling must fi rst be set up in Prism 2. This requires a
personal computer with Prism 2 software and a USB-Link or
CommLink and a MiniLink Polling Device. Ongoing alarm
polling on the System Manager TS IIMain Scr een requires
a MiniLink to be connected to the system.
• LEDs behind plastic panel indicate power, communications,
and operation
• Plastic enclosure allows for easy fl ush wall mounting in
hollow drywall or surface mounting on solid wall surface
NOTE: Screens in this manual referring to VCM-X also apply
to VCM controllers.

Components and Wiring
Mounting, Wiring, Initializing, and Updating
Environmental Requirements
The System Manager TS II needs to be installed in an environment that
can maintain a temperature range between 14°F and 158°F with less
than 90% RH levels (non-condensing).
Mounting
The System Manager TS II is housed in a plastic enclosure designed
for mounting in hollow drywall construction or a control panel cover
with the fl ush wall mount version (shown in Figure 3) or on a concrete,
brick, or other solid wall surface with the surface mount version (shown
in Figure 4).
The fl ush wall mount version has integral wingnut paddles that are tight-
ened after installation to grip the drywall and hold the System Manager
TS II in place. For mounting in a control panel cover or other thin material, (4) adhesive backed rubber pads are provided to assist in securing
the System Manager TS II into the cutout in the panel. These pads are
applied to the wingnut paddles to provide a non-slip mounting against
the panel’s sheet metal surface. See Figur e 2 for pad placement details.
The surface mount version is designed to be installed in a double duplex
outlet box (by others). Both mounting styles of the System Manager
TS II feature an integral, magnetically-secured face plate which can be
easily removed for reset of the display when required.
The System Manager TS II should be mounted at approximately eye
level to allow for ease of programming and reading of the display. The
System Manager TS II is typically mounted in the building manager’s
or superintendent’s offi ce or in an equipment room, but is also quite
suitable for mounting in any location or with most decors.
Care
Wiring
The System Manager TS II is connected to the local communications
loop of the Orion system via 18 AWG 2-conductor, twisted pair with
shield wire connected to the T , SHLD & R communication terminals on
the back of the System Manager TS II. The communications wire used
can be either our WattMaster # WR-LL-WG-18 communications wire
or Belden #82760 wire or its equivalent.
The System Manager TS II also requires that 24 VAC (6 VA) power be
supplied (by others) to its + and – wiring terminal located on the back
of the System Manager TS II.
See Figur es 5-8 for wiring details. These wiring diagrams depict wiring
the System Manager TS II to the VCM-X Controller , VCM Controller,
VCB-X Controller and VAV/Zone Controller. The System Manager TS II
can also be wired to the local loop terminals on the MiniLink PD, Power
Comm Board, or any other add-on controller’s local loop terminals. It
will still require a transformer to be wired as shown in Figures 5, 6 & 7.
Dipswitch and Jumper Settings
If you are using a VCB-X Controller set at high speed, Dipswitch OPT1
should be set to ON; in all other instances, it should be set to OFF . As of
April 2014, Dipswitch OPT4 should be set to ON by default. Previous
versions should be set to OFF. If you see your screen is not centered
correctly, switch OPT4 to the opposite position. Dipswitches OPT2
and OPT3 should always be set to OFF. See Figures 5-8, pages 8-11
for details.
If you have a Stand-Alone system (no CommLink or MiniLink, the
TERM Jumpers must be ON. For applications with CommLink(s) and/
or MiniLink(s), the TERM Jumpers must be OFF. See Figures 5-8, pages 8-11 for details.
The System Manager TS II should be cleaned with a soft, dust-free cloth.
Do not use any liquid to clean your System Manager TS II. You should
press the < Suspend> button located behind the cover to temporarily
freeze the touch pad before you attempt to clean your screen. See the
Troubleshooting section on page 70 for details.

• Stand Alone—If your System Manager TS II is connected to
one controller and you are not using a CommLink or MiniLink
anywhere on the loop, your system is Stand Alone. If your System
Manager TS II is connected to more than one controller daisychained together and you are not using a CommLink or MiniLink
anywhere on the loop, your system is Interconnected. If you have
either a Stand Alone or Interconnected system, you must enter
<0> for Stand Alone Mode. In order to view all controllers on an
Interconnected System, make sure that One to One Unit Connec-
tion, described below, is not selected.
• Network—If you are using this System Manager TS II on a com-
munications loop that has a MiniLink or CommLink installed and
you have a single System Manager TS II for your entire system,
you must enter<63> for Network System.
• Multiple Managers—If you are using this System Manager TS
II on a communications loop, have a MiniLink or CommLink installed, and have more than one System Manager TS II, then you
need to operate in Multiple Managers Mode. Enter the address
<1-60> at which you want this particular System Manager TS II
to be set. When more than one System Manager TS II is used on
a local loop, each must be set with a unique address different from
any other device on that loop. If you want one of the System Manager TS II’s to be able to indicate alarms for the entire system, you
must enter <63> for Network System for that particular System
Manager TS II.
Backlight Timeout: This setting is actually a setting for three separate
functions—Backlight Timeout, Main Screen Timeout, and Passcode
Timeout. To set the Backlight Timeout, enter the amount of time you
wish the screen to maintain the active intensity level after the last touch
pad activity occurs. The High limit is 30 and the Low limit is 0. 0 =
No Timeout. The System Manager TS II will return to the Main Screen
display at the same rate as the Backlight Timeout, except that if set
to 0, the Main Screen will display after 2 minutes. The Passcode will
timeout at the same rate as the Backlight Timeout, except that if set to
0, the Passcode will timeout after 2 minutes and will return to System
Secured Setting.
Backlight Intensity Percentage: Enter the percentage of light level
you wish to maintain whenever touch pad activity occurs. The High limit
is 100 and the Low limit is 0.
Alarm Polling Enabled: If you wish for the system to poll for alarms, touch the black box to the left of this item to select it. The box will
turn white and the system will immediately check all loops for alarms.
Touch<Cancel> to stop the process. If you wish to have Alarm Polling
Disabled, you must now touch the white box to deselect this option. The
box will return to its previously fully black state.
NOTE: For the System Manager TS II to poll for alarms, you
must also confi gure the unit(s) to poll for alarms on theMiniLink Polling Device Setpoints Screen using Prism
2. See the Appendix in this guide for more information.
One to One Unit Connection: If your System Manager TS II is
directly connected to only one unit, you may wish to select this option
to bypass the Unit Selection Screen and go directly to the unit’s Status Screen. The controller must be set to address #1 for this to work. Touch
the black box to the left of this item on the screen to select it. The box
will turn white. If you wish to deselect this option, simply touch the
box again.

The alarms must fi rst be confi gured using Prism 2 software. See the
Appendix in this guide for instructions.
Once the alarm settings have been established in Prism 2, the settings
you choose in the Alarm Status Screen will be stored in the controller
so that you will not have to reconfi gure the alarms for that controller in
Prism 2. Once confi guration is complete, Prism 2 does not have to be
running in order to view alarms on individual Alarm Status Screens in
the System Manager TS II. However, as mentioned previously, Prism 2
does have to be running for emailing or texting alarms to occur.
To enable an alarm category—Sensors, Mechanical, Fail Modes—simply
touch the black square next to Group 1, Group 2, and/or Group 3. A white
box designates that the alarm category is enabled. To disable an alarm
category, simply touch the square again. A grey box designates that the

Figure 49: VCM-X Temperature Setpoints Screen 1
Cooling Mode Enable
This setpoint is used to determine the Cooling Mode of operation in
reference to the HVAC Mode Enable Sensor . If the Supply Air Sensor is
confi gured to be the HV AC Mode Enable, this Setpoint is used in conjunc-
tion with the Unoccupied Setbacks if equipped with a Space T emperature
Sensor. Above this temperature plus the deadband, the unit will switch
to Cooling Mode. High limit = 99ºF; Low limit = 1ºF; Default = 75ºF.
Heating Mode Enable
This setpoint is used to determine the Heating Mode of operation in
reference to the HVAC Mode Enable Sensor . If the Supply Air Sensor is
confi gured to be the HV AC Mode Enable, this Setpoint is used in conjunc-
tion with the Unoccupied Setbacks if equipped with a Space T emperature
Sensor. Below this temperature minus the deadband, the unit will switch
to Heating Mode. High limit = 90ºF; Low limit = 1ºF; Default = 70ºF.
Night Cooling Offset
During the Unoccupied Mode of Operation, this setpoint adjusts the
Cooling Mode Enable Setpoint up by this amount. If you do not want
Cooling to operate during the Unoccupied Mode, use the default setting
of 30°F for this setpoint. High limit = 30ºF (no offset); Low limit = 0ºF;
Default = 30ºF.
Night Heating Offset
During the Unoccupied Mode of Operation, this setpoint adjusts the
Heating Mode Enable Setpoint down by this amount. If you do not want
Heating to operate during the Unoccupied Mode, use the default setting
of 30°F for this setpoint. High limit = 30ºF (no offset); Low limit = 0ºF;
Default = 30ºF.
Occupied Deadband
The deadband is added to the Cooling Setpoint to generate a cooling
demand and is subtracted from the Heating Setpoint to create a heating
demand. High limit = 10ºF; Low limit = 0ºF; Default = 1ºF.
Temperature Setpoint Screens.
Coil Setpoint
During the Dehumidifi cation Mode, the VCM-X uses the calculated Coil
Temperature to activate DX Cooling based on this Dehumidi fi cation Coil
Temperature Setpoint. The VCM-X uses a Suction Pressure Transducer to
read Suction Pressure (the Saturation Vapor Pressure of the refrigerant)
and converts this Suction Pressure reading to a Coil T emperature value.
This calculation is based on using R22 or R410A refrigerant only and
will not work with any other refrigerant. This setpoint determines the
number of compressor stages that need to be activated to maintain the
Dehumidifi cation Coil Temperature Setpoint. The Coil Temperature is
maintained at this setpoint during Dehumidifi cation. High limit = 70ºF;
Low limit = 35ºF; Default = 45ºF.
Morning Warm-up Setpoint
When the VCM-X is confi gured for VAV operation and the controller
enters the Occupied Mode, the VCM-X looks at the Return Air T emperature to determine if the unit should initiate Morning Warm-up Mode. If
the Return Air Temperature is below the Morning Warm-up Setpoint and
the Max Length is greater than “0,” the VCM-X will initiate Heating.
This is considered Morning Warm-up and will run until the Return Air
Temperature rises above the Morning W arm-up Setpoint or until the W arm
Up Timeout expires. High limit = 90ºF; Low limit = 50ºF; Default = 72ºF .
Dewpoint Dehumidifi cation Setpoint
On MUA confi gured units that are using 100% Outdoor Air, when the
OA Dewpoint Temperature rises above the Dewpoint Dehumidifi cation
Setpoint, the unit will start operating in Dehumidifi cation Mode. High
limit = 80ºF; Low limit = 35ºF; Default = 55ºF.
Economizer Enable Setpoint
If an OA Humidity Sensor is not connected to the VCM-X and the OA
Temperature falls below this Setpoint, the Economizer can be used for
Free Cooling. If an OA Humidity Sensor is connected to the VCM-X,
then a Wetbulb Temperature will be calculated and used instead of the
OA Drybulb Temperature to determine when Free Cooling can be used.
High limit = 80ºF; Low limit = 0ºF; Default = 55ºF.
Pre-Heat/Low Ambient Setpoint Temperature
For cold climates where freezing temperatures may be experienced, a PreHeater relay output, if confi gured, can be activated based on the Outdoor
Air Temperature to prevent freezing of Water Coils. If the Outdoor Air
Temperature falls below the Low OAT Ambient Protection T emperature
Setpoint and the HVAC unit is in Occupied Mode, the Pre-Heater relay
will activate. High limit = 70ºF; Low limit = 0ºF; Default = 0ºF.

Touch the < Static> button to access the Static Setpoint
Screens.
Figure 56: VCM-X Static & Air Setpoints Screen 1
Duct Static Setpoint
For VAV units, a Supply Fan VFD or Bypass Damper Actuator is used to
maintain the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint. The Static Pressure Output
Signal varies to control the Static Pressure Setpoint. The Duct Static
Pressure is maintained at this setpoint while the Main Fan is running.
High limit = 3.00”WG; Low limit = 0.10”WG; Default = 0.50”WG.
Static Setpoint Deadband
The Duct Static Setpoint accuracy is controlled by this value. No Main
Fan VFD changes are made if the static is within this range of this setpoint. High limit = 1.00”WG; Low limit = 0.01”WG; Default = 0.10”WG.
Static Control Interval
The Duct Static Control output is adjusted at a rate equal to this value. If
the Duct Static Pressure is above the Static Setpoint plus the Deadband,
the Static Pressure Output Signal will be reduced at every Control Rate
interval. If the Static Pressure is below the Static Setpoint minus the
Deadband, the Output signal will be increased at every Control Rate
interval. High limit = 30 seconds; Low limit = 1 second; Default = 10
seconds.
Building Pressure Setpoint
The Building Pressure is maintained at this setpoint while the Main
Fan is running. See detailed explanation in next column. High limit =
0.20”WG; Low limit = -0.20”WG; Default = 0.10”WG.
Building Setpoint Deadband
The Building Pressure Setpoint accuracy is controlled by this value. No
Relief Fan VFD changes are made if the pressure is within this range
of this setpoint. See detailed explanation in next column. High limit =
0.10”WG; Low limit = 0.01”WG; Default = 0.02”WG.
Building Pressure Setpoint and Deadband
Direct Acting Control:
If an Exhaust Fan Relay is confi gured, when the Building Static Pres-
sure rises above the Building Pressure Setpoint plus the Deadband, the
Exhaust Fan Relay will activate. It will remain on until the Building
Pressure falls below the Building Pressure Setpoint minus the Deadband.
If Modulating Building Pressure is confi gured, when the Building Static
Pressure rises
above the Building Pressure Setpoint plus the Deadband, the Building
Pressure Output Signal will increase until the Building Static Pressure
falls within the Deadband. If the Building Static Pressure falls below the
Building Pressure Setpoint minus the Deadband, the Building Pressure
Output Signal will decrease until the Building Static Pressure rises within
the Deadband. The Building Pressure Output Signal is confi gurable for
0-10 or 2-10 VDC. For more detailed operation information, see the
VCM-X Controller Technical Guide for the complete Building Pressure
Control Sequence of Operation.
Reverse Acting Control:
The Building Pressure Output Signal remains a Direct Acting 0-10 or
2-10 VDC signal, but the logic is reversed. On a drop in Building Static
Pressure below the Building Pressure Setpoint minus the Deadband,
the Building Pressure Output Signal will increase to modulate open the
Outdoor Air Damper. When this option is used, no economizer or IAQ
operation will be available.
Figure 57: VCM-X Static & Air Setpoints Screen 2
Economizer Minimum Position
The Economizer (Outdoor Air Damper) Min Position Setpoint is maintained during the Occupied Mode even if the Economizer is disabled
due to the Outdoor Air Temperature or Wetbulb Temperature being
above the Economizer Enable Setpoint. Anytime the Economizer is
not modulating for a cooling demand, it will remain at this Minimum
Ventilation Position during Occupied hours. High limit = 100%; Low
limit = 1%; Default = 10%.
Economizer Control Rate
The speed at which the Outdoor Air Damper Actuators are controlled
in the Economizer Mode can be controlled with this setting. The higher
the number, the faster the rate. High limit = 99 seconds; Low limit = 10
seconds; Default = 90 minutes.
Carbon Dioxide Max Economizer
This Setpoint allows you to set the Maximum Position the Economizer
will open if high CO2 conditions occur in the space. The Maximum
Economizer Position Setpoint is used to limit the amount of Outdoor
Air that will be introduced to the HVAC unit in order to ensure the unit
is operating within its Heating and Cooling design limitations. The
Minimum setting for this Setpoint is the value previously set for the
Economizer Minimum Position Setpoint. High limit =100%; Low limit
= 0%; Default = 100%.

Carbon Dioxide Setpoint
When the CO2 level rises above the CO2 Protection Limit Max Level, the
Economizer’s Minimum Position will begin to reset open proportionally
between the CO2 Protection Limit Max Level Setpoint and the Reset Range
Setpoint. The Reset Range value is added to the Max Level value. High
limit = 3000 PPM; Low limit = 0 PPM; Default = 900 PPM.
Carbon Dioxide Reset Range
During the IAQ mode, this is the maximum amount above the CO2 limit
that will cause the Economizer to reset to its maximum position. If the
CO2 levels are equal to or above the Max Level plus the Reset Range,
the Economizer will be opened to its Maximum Economizer Position
if high CO2 levels occur. High limit = 1500 PPM; Low limit = 0 PPM;

Cooling Stage Down
This is the amount of time that must elapse between each Compressor
deactivation to prevent all Compressors from deactivating at once as the
cooling demand decreases. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 1 minute;
Default = 1 minute.
Cooling Stage Up
This is the amount of time that must elapse between each Compressor
activation to prevent all Compressors from activating at the same time due
to large cooling demands. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 3 minutes;
Default = 3 minutes.
Cooling Min Run Time
This is the minimum amount of time the Compressors must remain on once
they have been activated. This overrides the Stage Down Delay if that is
not as long as this delay. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 5 minutes;
Default = 5 minutes.

If the equipment has entered the Morning W arm-up Mode, it will remain
in that mode until the Return Air Temperature rises above the Morning
W arm-up Setpoint or until this Warm-up Timeout expires. The Warmup Timeout must be greater than zero for Morning Warm-up to occur.
High limit = 240 minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 60 minutes.
This is the Supply Fan Starting Delay Timer initiated whenever the VCMX initiates Supply Fan operation. This is useful when you are using multiple VCM-X-controlled HVAC units and want to be sure that all the units
do not start at exactly the same time when the Occupied schedule occurs.
Each VCM-X should be set with staggered Fan Starting Delay Setpoint
values. When the 255-second default setpoint is used, it multiplies each
VCM-X controller’s address by 5 and uses this value in seconds as the
Fan Starting Delay Time. This provides a staggered start for each VCM-X
controller on the system without having to individually set each VCM-X
controller for its own time delay. High limit = 255 seconds; Low limit =
0 seconds; Default = 255 seconds.
Heat Pump Delay
If your VCM-X is confi gured to operate as a Heat Pump, the Heat Pump
Auxiliary Heating Delay Setpoint can be confi gured to provide a time delay
period before Auxiliary Heating Stages can be activated once activation
of the Compressor Heating Stages have been initiated. High limit = 30
minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 3 minutes.
Mod Cooling Time Period
The Time Period is the delay before another signal increase or decrease
can be made and is user-adjustable. Short Time Periods may cause hunting of the Modulating Signal. This is the rate at which the Modulating
Cooling Signal is calculated. High limit = 250 seconds; Low limit = 5
seconds; Default = 30 seconds.
Mod Heating Time Period
The Mod Heating Time Period is the delay before another signal increase
or decrease can be made and is user-adjustable. Short Time Periods may

Setpoint is a percentage value that is used to calculate the Return Air
Damper position in relation to the Return Air Bypass Damper position.
This provides a method for adjusting the airfl ow through the Return Air
Bypass Damper.
Increasing this percentage increases the airfl ow through the Return Air
Bypass Damper by causing the Return Air Damper to move further
towards its closed position in relation to the Return Air Bypass Damper
moving towards its open position.
Decreasing this percentage decreases the airfl ow through the Return

Building Pressure Control
The VCB-X can maintain Building Static Pressure anytime the Supply
Fan is operating. A Building Pressure Transducer must be connected to
the VCB-X EM1 Expansion Module. The following are the available
control options.
VCB-X Static & Air Setpoints
Direct Acting Building Pressure Control
•On/Off Exhaust Fan—If an On/Off Exhaust Fan is
being used, a relay output must be confi gured for “Exhaust Fan”. This relay will energize whenever the
Building Pressure rises above the Building Pressure
Setpoint by the Deadband amount. The relay will de energize when the Building Pressure falls below the
Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount.
•Exhaust Fan VFD or Modulating Exhaust
Damper—If confi gured for Modulating Exhaust, a user-
adjustable voltage output (AOUT1 – Building Pressure
Output on the VCB-X EM1 Expansion Module) will
be used to control this fan or damper. An Exhaust Relay
can be confi gured if necessary to enable the fan or damper. Whenever the Building Pressure rises above
the Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the Exhaust Fan Relay will energize and the Modulat ing Signal will activate to control to the Building
Pressure Setpoint. If the Building Pressure falls below
the Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the Modulating Signal will modulate towards 0% as it
attempts to maintain the Building Pressure Setpoint.
The Exhaust Fan Relay is energized whenever the
Modulating Signal is above 0%.
Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control
•Outdoor Air Damper—If this option is confi gured,
the VCB-X will use the user-adjustable Economizer/
Outdoor Air Damper output signal (AOUT2 –
Economizer Control Signal) to maintain the Building
Pressure Setpoint. Whenever the Building Pressure
falls below the Building Pressure Setpoint by the
Deadband amount, the modulating Economizer Output
Signal will modulate the damper open to control to
the Building Pressure Setpoint. If the Building Pressure
rises above the Building Pressure Setpoint by the
Deadband amount, the damper will modulate towards
closed as it attempts to maintain the Building Pressure
Setpoint. When this option is selected, no Economizer
free cooling or CO2 IAQ operation will be available.
•Supply Fan VFD – Contact WattMaster regarding this
Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control option. It
should not be used in most applications. If this option
is selected, the user-adjustable Supply Fan VFD Output
(AOUT1 on the VCB-X) will be used to control the
Supply Fan VFD to maintain the Building Pressure
Setpoint in similar fashion to the Outdoor Air Damper
control described above.

Touch the < Staging Delays> button to access the Staging
This is the amount of time that must elapse between each Compressor
activation to prevent all Compressors from activating at the same time
due to large cooling demands. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 3
minutes; Default = 3 minutes.
Cooling Stage Down Delay Time
This is the amount of time that must elapse between each Compressor
deactivation to prevent all Compressors from deactivating at once as
the cooling demand decreases. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 1
minute; Default = 1 minute.
Cooling Minimum Run Time
This is the minimum amount of time the Compressors must remain on
once they have been activated. This overrides the Stage Down Delay if
that is not as long as this delay. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 5
minutes; Default = 5 minutes.
Cooling Minimum Off Time
Once a Compressor has been staged back off, it must remain off for this
amount of time to prevent short cycling. High limit = 15 minutes; Low
limit = 3 minutes; Default = 3 minutes.
Mod Cooling Time Period
The Mod Cooling Time Period is the delay before another Modulating
Cooling Signal increase or decrease can be made and is user-adjustable.
Short Mod Cooling Time Periods may cause hunting of the Modulating Cooling Signal. This is the rate at which the Modulating Cooling
Signal is calculated. High limit = 240 seconds; Low limit = 5 seconds;
Default = 30 seconds.
This is the amount of time that must elapse between each Heat Stage
activation to prevent all Heat Stages from activating at the same time
due to large heating demands. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 3
minutes; Default = 3 minutes.
Heating Stage Down Delay Time
This is the amount of time that must elapse between each Heat Stage
deactivation to prevent all Heat Stages from deactivating at once as
the heating demand decreases. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit = 1
minute; Default = 1 minute.
Heating Minimum Run Time
This is the minimum amount of time the Heat Stages must remain on
once they have been activated. This overrides the Stage Down Delay if
that is not as long as this delay. High limit = 15 minutes; Low limit =
2 minutes; Default = 5 minutes.
Heating Minimum Off Time
Once a Heat Stage has been staged back off, it must remain off for this
amount of time to prevent short cycling. High limit = 15 minutes; Low
limit = 1 minutes; Default = 1 minute.
Mod Heating Time Period
The Mod Heating Time Period is the delay before another Modulating
Heating Signal increase or decrease can be made and is user-adjustable.
Short Mod Heating Time Periods may cause hunting of the Modulating Heating Signal. This is the rate at which the Modulating Heating
Signal is calculated. High limit = 240 seconds; Low limit = 5 seconds;
Default = 30 seconds.
The amount of time that must elapse after the last stage has turned off
before switching to the opposite HV AC mode. High limit = 20 minutes;
Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 5 minutes.
Mechanical Heat/Cool Alarm Timer
Enter a time delay between 0-240 minutes for a delay in the time that it
takes the Mechanical Heat/Cool Alarm to be generated. When Heating
or Cooling Mode is initiated and staging is activated, if the Supply Air
Temperature does not rise or fall 5°F within this time period, a Mechanical Heating or Cooling failure alarm will be generated. The Alarm is
for Status Reporting only. The HVAC unit will continue to run. This
alarm does not apply if Modulating Cooling or Heating are confi gured.
High limit = 240 minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 15 minutes.
Heat Pump Aux Heat Delay
If the Supply Air is not reaching setpoint, Auxiliary Heat can be added
after this amount of delay running at full heating. High limit = 60 minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 3 minutes.
Economizer Control Loop Time
This is the time period between changes to the Economizer position.
High limit = 30 seconds; Low limit = 1 seconds; Default = 10 seconds.
Building Pressure Control Rate
The Building Pressure Control Rate is the time period between changes
to the Building Pressure Control signal. High limit = 30 seconds; Low
limit = 1 second; Default = 10 seconds.
Fan Starting Delay
Enter the number of seconds you want the fan to delay starting. This is
the Supply Fan Starting Delay initiated whenever the VCB-X initiates
Supply Fan operation upon going occupied or after power-up. This is
useful when you are using multiple VCB-X-controlled HVAC units and
want to be sure that all the units do not start at exactly the same time
when the Occupied schedule occurs. Each VCB-X should be set with
staggered Fan Starting Delay Setpoint values. When the -1 value is used,
it multiplies each VCB-X Controller’s address by 5 and uses this value
in seconds as the Fan Starting Delay. This provides a staggered start for
each VCB-X Controller on the system without having to individually
set each VCB-X Controller for its own time delay. High limit = 240
seconds; Low limit = -1 second; Default = -1 second.
Fan Purge Mode Delay
This is the number of seconds you want the unit to stay in Purge Mode
before going into Occupied Mode. In Purge Mode, the fan runs with
the Economizer at minimum position and all Cooling and Heating is
de-energized. High limit = 900 seconds; Low limit = 0 seconds; Default
= 10 seconds.
Static/ Fan Speed Control Rate
This value determines the time interval between changes to the Supply
Fan Speed or the Bypass Damper Position during duct static pressure
control. It also determines the time interval between changes to the Fan
Speed during Single Zone VAV Reset of the Supply Fan VFD Speed.
High limit = 30 seconds; Low limit = 1 second; Default = 10 seconds.
Heat Pump Defrost Adaptive Timer
Once initiated, the Defrost Mode is active until the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch opens or until a 10 minute timer has expired. Enter a
value greater than zero to enable the Adaptive Defrost Adjustment of the
Heat Pump Defrost Interval. This adjustment value will be subtracted
from the Heat Pump Defrost Interval if the Defrost Mode lasts the entire
10 minutes. A proportion of this adjustment value will be added to the
Heat Pump Defrost Interval if the Defrost Mode only lasts between 8
minutes and 0 minutes. High limit = 30 minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes;
Default = 0 minutes.
This sets the amount of time the unit can remain in W armup Mode if the
Return Air still hasn’t reached its target temperature. High limit = 240
minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 60 minutes.
Trendlog Interval
An internal Trend Log is constantly updated at a rate equal to this value.
Trend Logs can only be accessed with Prism 2 software. High limit =
120 minutes; Low limit = 1 minutes; Default = 15 minutes.
Heat Pump Defrost Interval
If this is a Heat Pump unit with a Defrost Coil Temperature Switch
installed and confi gured, a Heat Pump Defrost Mode is available. If
the Defrost Coil T emperature Switch closes during Heat Pump Heating
operation, the unit will enter the Defrost Mode for 10 minutes or until
the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch opens. The Heat Pump Defrost
Interval is the length of time that must be met between Defrost Modes.
The length of this Defrost Interval can be automatically adjusted by the
Heat Pump Defrost Adaptive Timer. High limit = 120 minutes; Low
limit = 10 minutes; Default = 30 minutes.

Indoor Humidity Reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint
The Indoor Humidity Low and High Reset Limit Setpoints below can
be used to reset the Coil Temperature between its High and Low Reset
Limits (see page 51).
On units where Indoor Humidity is used to initiate Dehumidifi cation (non
MUA units), the Indoor Humidity Low Reset Limit is the Dehumidifi -
cation Setpoint, and as the Indoor Humidity rises above this setpoint,
Dehumidifi cation will be initiated. If the humidity falls 1% below this
setpoint, the unit will leave the Dehumidifi cation Mode.
If no reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint is desired, set the Indoor
Humidity High Reset Limit at the same value as the Indoor Humidity
Low Reset Limit. If reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint is desired,
when the Indoor Humidity rises above the Indoor Humidity Low Reset
Limit, Dehumidifi cation will be initiated and the Coil Temperature
Setpoint will be set at the Coil Setpoint High Reset Limit.
The Indoor Humidity High Reset Limit is the Indoor Humidity level at
which the Coil T emperature will be reset to the Coil Setpoint Low Reset
Limit. As the Indoor Humidity rises between the Low Reset Limit and
the High Reset Limit, the Coil T emperature Setpoint will be proportionally reset between the Coil Setpoint High Reset Limit down to the Coil
Setpoint Low Reset Limit.
On MUA units where the Outdoor Dewpoint Setpoint is used to initiate
Dehumidifi cation, this screen is only used to set the Indoor Humidity
values that will reset the Coil T emperature Setpoint. As described above,
as the Indoor Humidity rises within the range created by the Low and
High Reset Limits, the Coil T emperature Setpoint will be proportionally
reset between the Coil Setpoint High and Low Reset Limits.

Re-Heat Head Pressure Setpoint
If the unit is confi gured for Head Pressure Control, this is the pressure
maintained by the condenser fans whenever a compressor is running in
dehumidifi cation. High limit = 420 PSI; Low limit = 240 PSI; Default
= 400 PSI.
The VCB-X has an internal schedule. If you want the VCB-X to use its
own internal schedule, enter <0> for Internal.
External Schedules are available by using one of the GPC-X family
of General Purpose Controllers. Depending on which generation of
GPC-X Controller you have, you may have up to 5 or up to 8 schedules
available to use. T o use the schedules on one of these controllers, enter

through 8) you will be using. High limit = 8; Low limit = 0; Default = 0.
Push Button Override Duration
If the VCB-X has a Space Temperature Sensor installed and it has the
Override Button option, the HV AC unit will initiate Override Mode any
time the Override Button is pressed and held for less than 3 seconds.
This puts the unit into Occupied operation. The Push-Button Override
Duration Setpoint allows you to adjust the amount of time the Override
will remain in effect when the Override Button is pressed. T o cancel the
Override before the Override Duration time period expires, press the
Override Button for 5 to 10 seconds. High limit = 8 hours; Low limit =
0 hours; Default = 2 hours.
Daylight Savings Start Date

EMS Setpoint Offset
If the Energy Management Mode (EMS) is activated, the heat and cool
setpoints can be spread apart by this amount. High limit = 10ºF; Low
limit = 0ºF
Occupied Cooling Setpoint
This is the Cooling Mode Space Temperature maintained during Occupied hours Override periods. Enter the Occupied Cooling Setpoint
as the maximum temperature you would like the zone to reach before
modulating the damper open to bring in more cold air to cool the space.
High limit = 90ºF; Low limit = 50ºF
Occupied Heating Setpoint
This is the Heating Mode Space Temperature maintained during Occupied hours or Override periods. Enter the Occupied Heating Setpoint
as the minimum temperature you would like the zone to reach before
activating the Reheat Stages on the optional Expansion Relay board. If
this is a Cooling Only box that doesn’t contain reheat, this setpoint will
be ignored. High limit = 90ºF; Low limit = 50ºF
Unoccupied Cooling Offset
During Unoccupied hours, the Cooling Setpoint is adjusted up by this
amount. High limit = 30ºF; Low limit = 0ºF
Unoccupied Heating Offset
During Unoccupied hours, the Heating Setpoint is adjusted down by
this amount. High limit = 0ºF; Low limit = -30ºF
Maximum Sensor Slide Adjust
If the Optional Slide Offset is available on the wall sensor, this is the
maximum amount that the Heat/Cool Setpoints can be adjusted up or
down as the slide is moved from the center position to its full up or down
position. High limit = 5ºF; Low limit = 0ºF
AHU Heating Call Setpoint
If the Space T emperature drops below this setpoint by 0.5 degrees, a call
for heat to the HV AC unit is broadcast from the V AV/Zone box. This only
occurs in the Unoccupied Mode. High limit = 90ºF; Low limit = 50ºF
SAT HVAC Mode Deadband
If the Supply Air Temperature is above the Space Temperature by this
amount, the VAV/Zone controller enters the Supply Air Heating Mode.
It will remain in the Supply Air Heating Mode until the supply air drops
to 2º above the space temperature. At that point the unit enters the Supply Air Vent Mode and remains there until the Supply Air drops this
deadband below the Space Temperature. At that point the VAV/Zone
Controller enters the Supply Air Cooling Mode and will remain there
until the Supply Air Temperature rises to 2º below the Space Temperature. High limit = 20ºF; Low limit = 2ºF
Auxiliary Heat Setpoint
This setpoint is generally used for Baseboard Heat or a heating source
that is separate from Box Heat. If the Space Temperature drops below
this setpoint by 0.5 degrees, the Aux Heat Relay activates. The Aux Heat
Setpoint de-activates at 0.5 degrees above this setpoint. High limit =
90ºF; Low limit = 50ºF

Cooling Setpoint Alarm Offset
The VAV/Zone controller can be set up to generate an alarm anytime the
box goes into the Occupied Mode and the Space Temperature exceeds
the user-defi ned alarm limits for a user-defi ned period of time. A High
Temperature Alarm Setpoint is created by adding the Cooling Setpoint
Alarm Offset to the current Cooling Setpoint. If the Space Temperature exceeds this limit for a period defi ned by the Alarm Delay Period
Setpoint, the controller can generate an alarm callout if all the optional
hardware components required for this to occur are installed. High limit
= 50ºF; Low limit = 1ºF
Heating Setpoint Alarm Offset
The VAV/Zone controller can be set up to generate an alarm anytime the
box goes into the Occupied Mode and the Space Temperature exceeds
the user-defi ned alarm limits for a user-defi ned period of time. A Low
Temperature Alarm Setpoint is created by adding the Heating Setpoint
Alarm Offset to the current Heating Setpoint. If the Space Temperature exceeds this limit for a period defi ned by the Alarm Delay Period
Setpoint, the controller can generate an alarm callout if all the optional
hardware components required for this to occur are installed. High limit
= -1ºF; Low limit = -50ºF
Heat/Cool Alarm Delay Period
As mentioned above, if you confi gure the controller to generate Space
Temperature alarms, this is the amount of time after the box goes into
the Occupied Mode that the temperature must be outside the alarm limits
before an alarm is generated. A Space Temperature Alarm is generated
when the Space T emperature is out of the specifi ed range for this amount
of time. High limit = 300 minutes; Low limit = 1 minute
Cool Mode Distribution Effectiveness
This value represents how effi cient the space is in receiving Outdoor
CFM content. Enter the Zone Air Distribution Effectiveness as shown

VAV/Zone Miscellaneous & Calibration Setpoints
Miscellaneous Setpoints
Touch the < Miscellaneous> button to access the
Misc
Miscellaneous Setpoints Screen. The fi gure that follow
shows the screen and describes each setpoint in detail.
Figure 135: Miscellaneous Setpoints Screen
Damper Integral Constant {Kp}
The VAV/Zone controller normally opens its damper based on a proportional error from setpoint. That means if the zone temperature is 4°F
from setpoint, the damper would be 100% open, or it would be modulating to provide the Maximum CFM on Pressure Independent boxes. If
the error is less than 4°F, the damper may stagnate at that position and
never satisfy the zone. If you add Integral into the damper calculation
process, this will cause the damper or airfl ow calculations to continue
to increase as long as the zone temperature is still above the setpoint.
That means it can provide 100% or Maximum CFM before the 4°F error is achieved, bringing the zone under control faster than it normally
would. Start with a small (5 or 10) value, if you use this, and monitor
the effect it has. If you enter too large a value, you can create “hunting”
situations that can cause the damper actuator to prematurely wear out.
High limit = 100; Low limit = 0
Override Group ID#
Use this to group zones that need to activate together during Push-Button
Override conditions. Enter 0 to ignore other box overrides. High limit
= 16; Low limit = 0
Push-Button Override Duration
If the Flush Mount Wall Sensor has the optional Push-Button Override, this is the amount of the VAV/Zone controller will resume using
its Occupied Setpoints during Unoccupied Mode. This will generate a
call for the Air Handler to start its fan and provide heating or cooling,
depending on how you confi gure the Air Handler . High limit = 8.0 hours;
Low limit = 0 hours
Controlling Week Schedule
Use this to operate on a different schedule than the HVAC unit associated with this zone. Enter 0 to operate on the HVAC unit’s schedule.
Enter 1 through 5 to use an external schedule. A GPC Plus is required
for schedules 1 through 5. High limit = 5; Low limit = 0.
Stages of Box Heat
Enter the number of Box Heat/Re-Heat Stages to be controlled on the
expansion board. High limit = 3; Low limit = 0
Calibration Setpoints
Touch the < Calibration> button to access the Calibration
Calibrate
Setpoints Screen.

Space Sensor Offset
Enter a positive value to raise the reading and a negative value to lower
the reading. High limit = +100; Low limit = -100
Discharge Sensor Offset
Enter a positive value to raise the reading and a negative value to lower
the reading. High limit = +100; Low limit = -100
NOTE: The Discharge Sensor Offset setting only operates
on the reading when the VAV/Zone controller has its own Supply
Air Temperature Sensor installed on the AUX2 input. If the Supply
T emperature is received from a global broadcast, you will need to go
to the air handler to calibrate the temperature reading.

System Confi guration
ntrollersntrollers
System Confi guration Options
A VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X Controller can be used as a Stand-Alone
System (one VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X Controller only), connected together on an Interconnected System (multiple VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X
Controllers only) or connected together on a Network System (multiple
VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X Controllers, VA V/Zone Controllers, or Add-On
Controllers) to form a complete Controls System that can be programmed
and monitored with one or more of the available Operator Interfaces.
For detailed information about the various Orion Controls Systems that
are available and their related wiring requirements and options, please
see the technical guide that pertains to the particular controller.
Operator Interfaces
The Orion Operator Interfaces are designed to provide for programming
and monitoring of VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X Controller(s) and/or any
VAV/Zone or Add-on Controller(s) connected to your Orion System.
Y ou can use one or all of these interfaces on the same Orion System (see
Figure 138). The Operator Interfaces available for use with the Orion
Systems are as follows:
• Modular Service Tool SD
• Modular System Manager SD
• System Manager TS II
• Personal Computer with Prism 2 Computer Front End
Software Installed and a CommLink
Stand-Alone System
The Stand-Alone System is used when you have a single controller only.
Programming and status monitoring are accomplished by selecting and
installing one or more of the Operator Interfaces. See Figure 139 for a
Typical Stand-Alone System Layout diagram.
Interconnected System
The Interconnected System is used when you have multiple controllers
of the same type on your job. With this system, you simply connect the
controllers together using W attMaster 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 140 for a Typical Interconnected System Layout diagram.
Networked System
If you have 1 to 59 VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X Controllers that require
information sharing, simply connect the controllers together using
WattMaster 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 VCM /
VCM-X / VCB-X Controllers.
The Networked Multiple Loop system is used when you have more
than 59 VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X Controllers and/or are using multiple
VCM / VCM-X / VCB-X 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 communica-
tions 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 provides the capability for over 3500 control-
lers to be networked together. See Figur e 141 for a Typical Networked
System Layout diagram.

Military Time Conversion
Zone
Zone
Military Time Con v ersion
The main difference between regular and military time is how hours
are expressed. Regular time uses numbers 1 to 12 and a.m. and p.m. to
identify each of the 24 hours in a day. In military time, the hours are
numbered from 0000 to 2300.
Military time is based on a 24-hour day. Hours are numbered 0000
through 2300 and are recorded fi rst. The last two digits indicate the
minute after the hour. Military time does not exceed 2359 hours. For
example, midnight is recorded as 0000; one minute past midnight is
0001; 1 a.m. is 0100, 1 p.m. is 1300, and so on.
Regular and military time express minutes and seconds in exactly the
same way. When converting from regular to military time and vice versa,
the minutes and seconds do not change.
Regular time requires the use of a.m. and p.m. to clearly identify the time
of day. Since military time uses a unique two-digit number to identify
each of the 24 hours in a day, a.m. and p.m. are unnecessary.
The following table summarizes the relationship between regular and
military time.
