Features
VAV/Zone Controller
This manual applies to the VAV/Zone controller that is included in the
following Orion products:
OE742-XX-VAVZVAV/Zone Package
Pressure Dependent
OE744-XX-VAVZVAV/Zone Package
Pressure Independent
OE520-XXVAV/Zone Round Damper
Assembly - Pressure Dependent
OE521-XXVAV/Zone Round Damper

OE736-XXVAV/Zone Rectangular Damper Kit
The VAV/Zone Controller is used for controlling airflow and operation
of VAV or Zoning terminal units. It is a programmable digital controller
which allows for program setpoints to be stored in non-volatile memory.
The controller is connected to a room sensor via a modular cable assembly which monitors space temperature allowing the VAV/Zone controller to modulate a damper in response to space temperature, duct
temperature and airflow requirements in the controlled space.
The VAV/Zone controller has four integral modular jacks for connection to the actuator, airflow sensor (for pressure independent applications), room sensor and relay or analog expansion boards, via modular
cables. Molex cable connections are provided for the 24 VDC power
and system communications. A quick connect terminal connector is also
supplied for connection of the Modular Service Tool to facilitate pro-
gramming of the controller. The controller has an on-board dip switch
provided for board addressing.
The VAV/Zone controller is provided with two relays for tri-state control of the damper actuator. All outputs and the relay common are electrically isolated from all other circuitry on the board. All relay outputs
are supplied with transient suppression devices across each set of contacts to reduce EMI and arcing. The relay output contacts are rated for
pilot duty control of a maximum of 2 Amps @ 24 VAC or 24 VDC.
The actuator connects via a modular cable to the board and provides the
VAV/Zone controller with feedback monitoring for precise positioning
of the actuator.
OE322 Output Expansion Boards
The OE322, 3 Relay with Analog Output Expansion board is used in
conjunction with the VAV/Zone Controller board to allow for control
of VAV and Zone terminal units, including series and parallel fan
terminal units with up to 3 stages of electric heat or modulating hot
water heat. The OE322, 3 Relay with Analog Output Expansion board
provides 3 relay outputs for pilot duty switching control, and 1 Analog
output for control of a 0-10 V modulating hot water valve.
The OE322 Output Expansion board connects to the VAV/Zone
controller board by means of a modular cable provided with the
expansion board. Power is supplied to the board by means of this
modular cable. Screw terminals are provided for connection of field
wiring to the relay and analog outputs.
The relay outputs are N.O. contacts with one common terminal. All
outputs and the relay common are electrically isolated from all other
circuitry on the board. All relay outputs are supplied with transient
suppression devices across each set of contacts to reduce EMI and
arcing. The relay output contacts are rated for pilot duty control of a
maximum of 2 Amps @ 24 V AC or 24 VDC. The analog output provides
a 0 – 10 VDC modulating signal output into a 1K ohm minimum load.

Controller Inputs and Outputs
T ec hnical Guide
The following inputs and outputs are available on the VAV/Zone controller and the OE322 Output Expansion Board that can be added by
connecting it to the main controller board expansion port. For component locations of the inputs on the VAV/Zone Controller see Figure 3.
For wiring of inputs and outputs see Figure 4thru 9.
V AV/Zone Controller Analog Inputs
Input #1: Space Temperature
The Modular Room Sensor that reads space temperature is attached to
this input. The Modular Sensor connects via a modular cable to the
VAV/Zone controller. If the optional push-button override sensor is installed, this input will detect user overrides from unoccupied back to
occupied operation for a user adjustable amount of time.
Input #2: Airflow Sensor
If the VAV/Zone Controller is to be configured for pressure independent operation, you need to install the OE274 Airflow Sensor and connect the modular plug from the pressure sensor to this input. The pressure signal from the Airflow Sensor is used for CFM (airflow) calculations. If an OE274 Airflow Sensor is attached to this input, the VAV/
Zone controller will automatically detect this and switch to pressure
independent operation. If the sensor is not attached or becomes defective, the controller automatically reverts to pressure dependent operation. When the VAV/Zone controller is used for pressure independent
applications, the JP2 jumper must be “ON” for high velocity systems
and “OFF” for low velocity systems. Typically VAV systems are medium to high velocity and voting systems are low velocity . As a rule of
thumb, if the velocity through the terminal unit is below 1500 FPM,
remove the jumper and if above 1500 FPM, leave the jumper on. If it is
a low velocity system, in addition to removing the jumper, the configuration option: “Is This a Voting System” must be YES, even on a VAV
system. If the CFM is greater than the values listed for the terminal inlet
size above, the JP2 jumper on the VAV/Zone controller must be installed and the system must be configured as a “Non-Voting System. If
this is a high velocity voting system the box must be configured as a”
voting box” but the system must be configured as “non-voting system”
in order for the airflow sensor to read correctly . See Figure 3 for jumper
location on board. See Table 1 for low velocity inlet CFM informa-
tion.

Notes:
1.) These va lues are averages and will vary between terminal unit
manuf actu rers.
Table 1: Maximum Inlet CFM for Low Velocity
Input #3: Aux - Supply Air Temperature Sensor
A Supply Air Temperature Sensor can be connected to these terminals.
It should be mounted in the supply duct close to the terminal unit where
the VAV/Zone controller is installed. This sensor can be used for monitoring purposes or in place of the Supply Air Temperature Broadcast
from the VCM Controller.
Note: All temperature sensors must be Thermistor Type III.

Other Controller Connections
Expansion Board Modular Connector
This modular connector is used to connect the optional OE322 Output
Expansion Board to the VAV/Zone controller. These boards are only
required when electric or hot water heating and/or fan terminal control
is required. The expansion boards are not required for cooling only
terminal units.
Actuator Modular Connector
This modular connector is used to connect a modular cable from the
VAV/Zone controller to a tri-state actuator.
Power/Comm Modular Connectors
These two modular connectors, (labeled P1 & P2) are used to connect
modular cables from the Power/Comm board that supplies 24 V olt power
and communications to the controller and to supply 24 Volt power and
communications to the next controller on the local loop.
Modular Service Tool DIN Connector
This connector is used to connect a cable between the Modular Service
T ool and the VA V/Zone controller for programing and configuration of
the VAV/Zone controller.
Optional - OE322 Expansion Board
As previously stated when control of a fan or if heating is required the
OE322 Output Expansion board must be used.
Relay Output #1 - Fan Enable
The first expansion relay on the Output Expansion boards is used for
enabling the fan for Series or Parallel Fan Terminal Units.
Relay Output #2 - Stage 1 Heating
If you have at least one stage of auxiliary heating, this is the relay used
to energize the 1st stage of terminal unit heating. This heating stage can
either be used with electric heat or On/Off hot water valve control.
Relay Output #3 - Stage 2 Heating
If you have two stages of auxiliary heating, this relay controls the 2nd
stage of electric heat. For 3 stage heating, this relay output would be
energized for both the 2nd and 3rd stage of heat. See the following
section for more information regarding 3 stage heating applications.
3 Stage Heating Applications
If three stages of electric heat are configured, relays #2 and #3 will
stage in a staggered sequence. This allows you to achieve 3 stages of
heating using only relays #2 and #3. Each of the 3 heating elements
should be sized for 1/3 of the total KW output required. Both the 2nd
and 3rd stage heating contactors (C2 & C3) must be connected to Relay
Output #3. See Table 2 for relay sequencing information.
Stage No. Relay Output #2 Relay Output #3
#1 ON (C1) OFF (C2 & C3)
#2 OFF (C1) ON (C2 & C3)
#3 ON (C1) ON (C2 & C3)
Table 2: Relay Sequencing For 3 Stage Heating
24 VDC Power Terminals (+V & GND)
These terminals can supply 24 Volts DC for a 24 VDC hot water valve
actuator if desired. This output is rated at 12 Watts maximum load.
Analog Output
If you are using hot water or steam heating via a modulating steam or
hot water valve, this output can supply a 0-10 Volts DC signal for proportional control of the valve.

2.) Use Orion prefabricated modular cables for connection between the
VAV/Zone controller, the Power/Comm Board and between each VAV/Zone
controller on the loop.
3.)The Supply Air Sensor is not required when the VAV/Zone Controller is
connected to an Orion VAV/CAV Unit Controller board. A global supply air
temperature is broadcast by the VAV/CAV Unit Controller. The Supply Air
Sensor is only required if the VAV/Zone Controller is required to operate as a
“Stand Alone” controller. It can also be used on VAV/Zone controllers that have
reheat to monitor the box discharge air temperature.

Controller Installation & Wiring
General
Correct wiring of the VAV/Zone controller is the most important factor
in the overall success of the controller installation process. The VAV/
Zone controller wiring has been simplified by the use of modular connectors and prefabricated modular cables.
Controller Mounting
If the Round Zone Dampers or Rectangular Zone Damper Kits were
purchased from WattMaster, the controller and actuator are factory
mounted and wired in the damper control enclosure. If your VAV/Zone
controllers are pressure independent, an airflow probe and pressure sensor will also be factory mounted and wired.
Most terminal unit manufacturers will offer the option of factory mounting the Orion controls in their terminal units for an additional charge.
An installation worksheet and instructions are available for the Orion
V AV/Zone controller package which can be shipped with the V AV/Zone
control(s) to the terminal unit manufacturer to simplify third party factory mounting and wiring of the controller.
When the VAV/Zone controller is to be field mounted, it is important to
mount the controller in a location that is free from extreme high or low
temperatures, moisture, dust and dirt. The VAV/Zone controller board
must be mounted within 10” of the damper actuator in order for the
actuator cable to extend between the controller and the actuator.
Be careful not to damage the electronic components when mounting
the controller. Remove the controller from its snap track mount. Mark
the control enclosure base using the snap track as a template. Drill pilot
holes in the enclosure base and secure the snap track to it using sheet
metal screws. Do not allow metal shavings to fall onto the circuit board.
Reattach the controller to the snap track. Mount the damper actuator to
the damper shaft following the instructions supplied with the damper
actuator.
Important Wiring Considerations
Please carefully read and apply the following information when wiring
the VAV/CA V controller. See Figur e 4 for VA V/Zone controller wiring
diagram.
1.Size and wire the Power/Comm Board transformer per the
instructions. Failure to size the transformer and/or wire the
Power/Comm board correctly may cause the VAV/Zone
controllers to operate erratically or not at all. See
Figure 5 for wiring and transformer sizing information.
2.If a Supply Air Sensor is to be connected, the minimum
wire size used should be 24 gauge.
3.Do not pry on the connectors when connecting or
disconnecting the modular cables. Be sure to push in on the
connector release clip and then pull straight up.

Modular Devices - Transformer Sizing
Modular devices include the VAV/Zone Controller, Modular System
Manager & MiniLink Polling Device. All of these devices connect to
each other and a Power/Comm Board using prefabricated modular cables.
When sizing transformers for these devices it is important to design
your layout so that the fewest number of Power/Comm distribution
boards and the least number of transformers can be used.
In order to simplify wiring design and layout with modular devices the
following rules apply:
1.Power/Comm Board maximum transformer size = 100 VA.
This is due to the board circuitry and fusing. Each modular
device is to be calculated at 6 VA. This allows for a
maximum of 16 devices per Power/Comm board. If more
than 16 devices are required, multiple Power/Comm boards
must be used. Any Slaved Zone actuators used are
considered a modular device and must be accounted for at
6 VA. each. They also must be included in the branch
circuit maximum quantity of 6. See rule #2 below.
2.No more than 6 modular devices allowed per branch circuit.
(Each Power/Comm board has 4 branch circuits
available on the board )
3.The longest total run per branch circuit is 240 Ft. This is
due to voltage drop on the prefabricated cable. If cable runs
longer than 240 Ft. are required, additional Power/Comm
board(s) can be used. Each Power/Comm Board connected
in series with the first Power/Comm Board would allow for
an additional 240 Ft. of modular cable to be added to the
total cable run length.
See Figure 5 for information and some examples of transformer sizing
and branch circuit design.
Warning: Do not ground the 24 V transformer that is to be
used with the Power/Comm boards. Grounding
of the transformer will damage the Power/Comm
board and all boards connected to it. A separate
transformer must be used for each Power/Comm
board. No exceptions. Do not connect any other
devices to the transformer used for the Power/Comm
board.

For large zones it may be necessary to have more than one air damper
controlled by a VAV/Zone controller and its associated space sensor.
The Orion system allows for connecting up to two additional slaved
zone dampers to the master VAV/Zone controller. Slaving is not avail-
able for pressure independent damper applications.
Note: Each slaved actuator is considered a modular device rated
at 6 VA each. This 6 VA load must be included in the
transformer sizing and branch circuit calculations for the

Wiring Considerations
Warning: The 3 relay outputs available on the OE322
Expansion boards are used to supply extra relays and/or analog outputs
to control fan and heating functions for the VAV/Zone controller.
When Round VAV/Zone Dampers or Rectangular VAV/Zone Controller Kits are ordered from WattMaster, the OE322 Expansion board is
shipped loose for field mounting by others.
Mounting of the OE322 Expansion Board is identical to the previously
described mounting for the VAV/Zone controller. Mount the Expansion
board near the VAV/Zone controller using the sheet metal screws provided. Be sure the mounting location is close enough so that the supplied modular cable will reach from the VAV/Zone controller to the
Expansion board.
The wiring consideration information previously outlined for the VAV /
Zone controller should be followed when wiring the OE322 Expansion
Boards.
Output Expansion board are each rated for 2 Amps
@ 24 VAC. If your device load exceeds these limits,
a pilot duty relay (by others) must be used in the
circuit.
