Whether you have a Stand Alone, Interconnected, or Networked Orion
Controls System, the Modular Service Tool always connects to the
controller or a VAV/Zone 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 VCM-X,
VCM-X E-BUS, VCB-X, 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 beige-colored 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 conditions 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 of fi 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, VAV/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 Figur e 4 below for typical connection information. See Figure 5on 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 6on 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.

pressing <ESC>. There are two Start/Stop events available per day, so
the screen will show which event is being programmed. If you need
only one event, keep Event #2’s times set at ZERO.
All times are in 24-hour military format, so 5:00 PM would be entered
as 1700.
If both the Start and Stop Times are ZERO, the schedule is in a continuous OFF mode. (Also, use for Remote Forced Occupied applications
using the Forced Occupied Binary Input.)
If both the Start and Stop Times are 2359, the schedule is in a continuous ON mode.
NOTE: The second line displays which day of the week is cur-
rently being programmed. The day of the week automatically increments as you exit the Event #2 screen for the
day and continue to the next day’s Event #1 screen.
CAUTION: The controller ships with all schedules set to
zero so that the controller will not attempt to heat
or cool before you have confi gured the system.
If you are using the internal scheduling capability of the Unit Controller, set the schedule hours and holiday periods from the menu shown
above. You can also force the unit to operate continuously in occupied
or unoccupied mode by selecting the Schedule Override menu item and
entering the desired command.
If you are using an external contact closure to signal the occupied mode,
you must access the Week Schedule Screens and set all start and stop
times to zero to prevent the internal schedule from turning the equipment on when you don’t want it to operate.

The screens will step through the fourteen possible holidays, one period
at a time. Line 2 shows which holiday is currently being programmed.
Since a holiday period can encompass more than one day, you need to
program the day the holiday starts and the day the holiday ends. If your
holiday only lasts one day, simply set both the Start Day and the Stop
Day to the same value. Remember to combine the month and day into
a single four-digit value.
The fourteen holidays all use the same Start and Stop times which you
program on this screen and the next. You must enter the time in 24-hour
military format, the same as a regular week schedule.
Normally, the holidays will operate in an unoccupied mode or a reduced
schedule mode. There are two start/stop events available on holidays to
match the standard schedule number of events.

If a Schedule Override is active, all other methods of schedule control
are ignored (Push-Button, Internal, and Remote).
As you can see on the last line of the display, enter
ously in the Occupied Mode or <2> to run continuously in the Unoccupied Mode. To restore normal schedule operations, enter <0>.
This override remains in effect until canceled and does not time-out
like the Output Overrides do after 10 minutes of no communications.
NOTE: Do not use the Force OFF mode in place of setting all

a Reset Source has been confi gured in Confi guration Screen #4, then
the names of the values on the left side of this screen will correspond to

Cooling Supply Air SAT and Rst Limit values that were entered on the
previous screen. Single Zone VA V Reset of the Supply Fan VFD is addressed in the last paragraph.
Please note that the SAT and Rst Limit values on the right side of this
screen cannot be changed on this screen; they are simply displayed from
what was entered on the Setpoint Screen #4. For each line, the value on
the left corresponds to the value on the right. So, if the Space T emperature
Sensor has been confi gured as the Reset Source, then when the Space
Temperature is at or above the SpcHi T emperature Setpoint, the Supply
Air Cooling Setpoint will be reset to its lowest value, the SA T Setpoint.
If the Space T emperature is at or below the SpcLo Setpoint, the Supply
Air Cooling Setpoint will be reset to its highest value, the Cooling Rst
Limit. Then, as the Space Temperature moves from its low value to its
high value, the Supply Air Cooling Setpoint will be proportionally reset
from its high value to its low value.
Depending on whether reset has been confi gured or not, the options for
the names of the values on the left side of the screen are SpcHi, SpcLo,
OatHi, OatLo, RatHi, RatLo, VLT, VFD, NoRST.
In the examples that follow, the desired Space Temperature in
Cooling Mode is 75ºF:
Space Temperature Cool Reset:
Space Temperature (SPC Hi) = 75ºF SAT Setpoint (SAT) = 55ºF
Space Temperature (SPC Lo) = 74ºF SAT Setpoint (Rst) = 65ºF

In the Cooling Mode in a Single Zone VA V application, the Supply Fan
VFD speed will proportionally modulate as the Space T emperature rises
within the range set on this screen. Upon entering the Cooling Mode, the
fan will start at 30% and modulate up to 100% as the Space T emperature
rises from the SpcLo Setpoint to the SpcHi Setpoint. The SpcLo Setpoint should be the same as the Space Cooling Setpoint (Mode Enable

In the Heating Mode in a Single Zone VA V application, the Supply Fan
VFD speed will proportionally modulate as the Space T emperature falls
within the range set on this screen. Upon entering the Heating Mode, the
fan will start at 50% and modulate up to 100% as the Space T emperature
falls from the SpcHi Setpoint to the SpcLo Setpoint. The SpcHi Setpoint
should be the same as the Space Heating Setpoint (Mode Enable Setpoint)
from Setpoint Screen #1. The SAT and RST Setpoints on the right side
of the screen are not used.
If no Reset Source has been confi gured in Confi guration Screen #4, then
this screen will read Heat Rst Not Confi g and will not be used. If a Reset
Source has been confi gured in Confi guration Screen #6, then the names
of the values on the left side of this screen will correspond to the Reset
Source that was confi gured. This screen will then allow you to input
the upper and lower limits for the range of values of the Reset Source
on the left side of the screen and will show the corresponding Heating
Supply Air SAT and Rst Limit values that you entered on the previous
screen. Single Zone VAV Reset of the Supply Fan VFD is addressed in
the last paragraph.
Please note that the SAT and Rst Limit values on the right side of this
screen cannot be changed on this screen; they are simply displayed from
what was entered on the Setpoint Screen #6. For each line, the value on
the left corresponds to the value on the right. So if the Space T emperature
Sensor has been confi gured as the Reset Source, then when the Space
Temperature is at or above the SpcHi T emperature Setpoint, the Supply
Air Heating Setpoint will be reset to its lowest value, the SAT Setpoint.
If the Space T emperature is at or below the SpcLo Setpoint, the Supply
Air Heating Setpoint will be reset to its highest value, the Heating Rst
Limit. Then, as the Space Temperature moves from its low value to its
high value, the Supply Air Heating Setpoint will be proportionally reset
from its high value to its low value.

Temperature to determine if the unit should initiate Morning Warm-up
Mode. If the Return Air Temperature is below the Morning Warm-up
Tar get T emperature and the Max Length is greater than “0,” the controller will initiate Heating. This is considered Morning W arm-up and will
run until the Return Air Temperature rises above the Morning Warm-up
Target Temperature or until the Max Length Setpoint time expires.
On VA V or CAV confi gured units that are not using 100% Outdoor Air ,
when the Indoor Relative Humidity percentage rises above the Indoor

Pressure Transducer to read Suction Pressure (the Saturation Vapor
Pressure of the Refrigerant) and converts this Suction Pressure reading
to a Coil Temperature value. This calculation is based on using R22 or
R410A refrigerant only and will not work with any other refrigerant.

For VA V 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. 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.
The Duct Static Pressure Control Output Signal is a non-confi gurable
Direct Acting Signal (0-10 VDC). This can be used to directly connect
to a Supply Fan VFD without any modifi cations.
When you are using a Bypass Damper Actuator to control the Duct
Static Pressure, you must set up the Bypass Damper Actuator or the
Bypass Damper so that it is Reverse Acting in operation. The Output
Signal increases (closes Bypass Damper) if the Duct Static Pressure is
below the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount and
the Output Signal decreases (opens Bypass Damper) if the Static Pressure is above the Setpoint by the Deadband amount.

If Modulating Building Pressure is confi gured, when the Building Static

the Building Pressure Output Signal will increase until the Building Static

below the Building Pressure Setpoint minus the Deadband, the Building

This is the Supply Fan Starting Delay Timer initiated whenever the

are using multiple 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 Unit Controller should be set with staggered Fan Starting Delay
Timer Setpoint values. When the 255 Second default setpoint is used,
it multiplies each Unit Controller’s address by 5 and uses this value in
seconds as the Fan Starting Delay Time. This provides a staggered start
for each Unit Controller on the system without having to individually
set each Unit Controller for its own time delay. For an MUA unit, this
should be set to a minimum of 60 seconds to let the OA Damper open.

Group ID #: 1
During Unoccupied Mode, all zones with a corresponding Group ID #
will resume Occupied operation whenever any of the zones in that group
has its push-button depressed to initiate an override condition. This allows you to group zones in various areas of the building. For example,
individual tenants with several offi ces could restore occupied mode for
just their zones and not affect other zones in the building.
The default group ID number for all VA V/Zone Controllers is set at the
factory to 1. If you don’t want a specifi c zone(s) to be part of that group,
you must give each one a distinct Group ID number between 2 and 16.
Setting a zone’s Group ID number to 0 will disable the Space Sensor
Override Button function.
If you don’t want a specifi c zone to be a part of any group, enter
for its Group ID #.

XX Box Spts IDXXXX
Damper/Airflow Spt
Maximum..: XXX %
Vent Min.: XXX %
The VA V/Zone Controller will not allow the damper or airfl ow calcula-
tion to exceed the Maximum setpoint while it is allowing the damper to
modulate. During V ent mode when there is no heating or cooling demand,
the damper or airfl ow will maintain at least the Vent Min amount of
airfl ow into the zone for ventilation.
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.

During Supply Air Cooling Mode, if the space being served by this
damper is satisfi ed and has no cooling demand, the damper will close to
this Cool Min setting. This provides a minimum amount of airfl ow into
the space for ventilation, even if the space does not require additional
cooling. During Supply Air Heating Mode, if the space being served
by this damper is satisfi ed and has no heating demand, the damper will
close to this Heat Min setting. This provides a minimum amount of
