SYSTEM CONNECTION

Modular Service Tool SD

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.

Be sure that the Modular Service Tool’s SD memory card is inserted correctly and that the Modular Service Tool has fresh batteries installed or that it is connected to a power source using the supplied power pack before attempting any programming of the controller. See Figure 2 for connection details.

Figure 3: Modular System Manager SD Dimensions

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 notiﬁcation 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 ofﬁce or in an equipment room. The attractive enclosure is quite suitable for mounting in any location.

SYSTEM CONNECTION

Modular System Manager SD Network Connection

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 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.

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 Start Time and then the Stop Time for each day of the week. You can quit at any point in the process by 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 currently 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 conﬁgured the system.
