The Modular Service Tool is also equipped with an EBC E-BUS
port and an RS-485 three conductor terminal block port. The EBUS port and included E-BUS cable are used for updating E-BUS
Module software (described in Appendix C). The RS-485 port is
used for hard-wiring to older controllers that do not have a mini-DIN
connector socket.
The Modular Service Tool is designed to be hand-carried. Its rugged plastic housing provides superior protection for the electronic
components housed inside. The Modular Service T ool is a top-quality
service tool that will stand up to the demands of the typical job site
environment for many years.

Whether you have a Stand Alone, Interconnected, or Networked
VCC-X Control System, the Modular Service T ool always connects
to the controller via a prefabricated cable that is supplied with the
service tool. The Modular Service Tool cable is terminated on both
ends with a mini-DIN connector. Attach one end to the Modular
Service Tool and the other end to the mini-DIN connector on the
controller. If this is an Interconnected System, all controllers that
are interconnected with communications cable can be programmed
from any controller on the loop. If this is a Networked System, all
controllers on the entire Networked System can be programmed
from one controller.

The OE392-12 Modular System Manager SD provides a direct
link to enable you to view the status and adjust the setpoints of the
VCC-X, VCB-X, VCM-X, VCM-X E-BUS, RNE, SA E-BUS, VCM,
VAV/CAV, MUA II or VAV/Zone Controller on the control system
communications loop. The System Manager SD is housed in a beigecolored plastic enclosure. The System Manager has a programmable
4 Gigabyte SD card and is equipped with a 4-line-by-20-character
backlighted display panel and a 24-key membrane keypad for data
selection and entry. All keypad operations are simple and straight
forward, utilizing non-cryptic plain English language messages.
Menu-driven programming allows for easy setup and operation
without the need for specialized training. The System Manager also
has 2 integral LEDs for user notifi cation of system alarm condi-
tions and override initiations. Protection from unauthorized users
is provided by the System Manager’s integral multi-level passcode
authorization programming.
On a Networked System, the Modular System Manager is connected
to the communications and power loop of the system via modular
cables that simply plug into the System Manager board and the
Power/Comm Distribution Board. This virtually eliminates wiring
errors and makes installation fast and easy. When it is to be connected to a Stand-Alone system, a cable with modular connectors
on one end and stripped wire ends on the other end is provided to
facilitate connecting communications and power to the Modular
System Manager from the 24 VAC power source and the HVAC
unit controller communication wiring terminals.
The Modular System Manager is designed for wall mounting. Mounting holes are provided to attach the Modular System Manager to a
standard handy box. It is recommended that the System Manager be
mounted at approximately eye level to allow for ease of programming and reading of the display. The System Manager is typically
mounted in the building manager’s or superintendent’s offi ce or in
an equipment room. The attractive enclosure is quite suitable for
mounting in any location.

Network Connection
As previously described, when you are connecting the Modular
System Manager to a Networked System, the Modular System
Manager is connected to the communications and power loop of
the system via modular cables. These cables simply plug into the
System Manager board and to any device with modular connectors
on any local loop on the system. Devices with modular connectors
include the Power/Comm Distribution Board, VA V/Zone controller ,
and MiniLink Polling Device. By using these plug-in connections,
wiring errors are virtually eliminated and system installation is fast
and easy. See Figure 4 below for typical connection information.
See Figure 5 on page 8 for typical Power/Comm board wiring and
connection information.

When the System Manager is to be connected to a Stand Alone
system, a 12-foot cable with modular connectors on one end and
stripped wire ends on the other end is provided for this purpose. This
is used to facilitate connecting communications and power wiring
to the Modular System Manager from a 24 VAC power source and
to the HVAC unit controller communication wiring terminals. See
Figure 6 on page 9 for wiring details. If the supplied cable wire is
not long enough for your installation, a standard modular cable of
the correct length can be purchased through WattMaster and one of
the modular connectors can be cut off to allow for the transformer
and communication terminal wiring connections. It is recommended
that you do not splice the communications wire if at all possible.
The transformer should be rated at 6 VA minimum power output.

Operator Interfaces
In order to confi gure and program the Orion System controllers,
you must have an Operator’s Interface or a personal computer with
the Prism 2 computer front-end software installed. Three different
Operator Interfaces are available for programming of the Orion
Controls System—the Modular Service Tool SD, the Modular System Manager SD, and/or the System Manager TS II. These devices
allow you to access the status and setpoints of the controllers on your
communications loop. This manual describes the Modular System
Manager SD. If using the System Manager TS II, please see the
System Manager TS II T echnical Guide. If using Prism 2, please see
the Prism 2 Technical Guide.
The Modular System Manager SD allows you to view any input or
output status and change any setpoint to fi ne-tune the operations of the
total system. All keypad operations are simple and straightforward,
utilizing non-cryptic plain English messages.

Supply Air
USE < or > TO CHANGE
This selects which sensor will determine the mode of operation of
the unit and how it will operate. Default is Supply Air. Available
options are:
Supply Air—This is for a standard Cooling Only VAV
unit with optional Morning Warm Up. In the Occupied
Mode, the unit will be in the Cooling Mode controlling
to the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint.
Supply Air/Tempering—This selection is for VAV
“cooling only” applications where because of cold
outdoor temperatures, heat may need to be added in
order to maintain the “Cooling” Supply Air Setpoint.
This application requires Outdoor Air Enable Setpoints
to be confi gured in order to initiate Cooling and Heating
Modes. The Cooling and Heating Supply Air Setpoints
can then both be set to the same temperature (e.g. 55
º).
Outdoor Air—This is for a 100% OA Unit (MUA) using
the OA Temperature Sensor to determine the Heating,
Cooling, and Vent Modes of operation. Dehumidifi cation
utilizes an Outdoor Air Dewpoint Setpoint.
R eturn Air—Optional recirculating unit confi guration
using the Return Temperature Sensor to determine the
Heating, Cooling, and Vent Modes of operation.
Space Temperature—Typical recirculating unit using
a Space Temperature Sensor to determine the Heating,
Cooling, and Vent Modes of operation.
Space Temperature with High % OA CFM—If it is
preferable to use Space conditions (instead of Outside
Air) to control a 100% or high percentage outdoor air
unit, this option allows tempering of the outdoor air in
the Space Vent Mode of operation to prevent dumping of
hot or cold air into the space. See the Sequence of
Operations for details.
Single Zone VAV—Recirculating unit using the Space
Temperature Sensor to determine the mode of operation.
Heating and Cooling are controlled to a Leaving Air
Setpoint. Space Temperature resets the Supply Fan VFD
speed to maintain the Space Temperature. Modulating
Heating and Cooling must be used for this operation.
Can be confi gured for CAV Heating using staged Heat.
