The OE391-11 Modular Service T ool is a system operator interface that
provides a direct link to enable the system operator to view the status,
confi gure, and adjust the setpoints of the VCM-X, RNE, or VAV/Zone
Controller on the control system communications loop. The Modular
Service Tool is housed in an attractive beige-colored plastic enclosure.
The display area is covered with a clear plastic bezel for protection of the
display screen. The Modular Service Tool has a 4-line-by-20-character
display panel with adjustable contrast control and a 27-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 Modular Service Tool is supplied
with (4) AA 1.5 V Volt alkaline batteries, a wall mount DC power supply and a communication cable terminated with an 8-pin DIN connector
for connection to the Service Tool. The cable allows you to setup and
program any Orion controller with an 8-pin DIN connector socket by
simply plugging the service tool into the socket on the controller.
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 Tool is a top-quality service
tool that will stand up to the demands of the typical job site environment
for many years.
The OE392-07 Modular System Manager provides a direct link to enable you to view the status and adjust the setpoints of the VCM-X and
VAV/Zone controllers on the control system communications loop. The
System Manager is housed in an attractive, off-white colored plastic enclosure. The System Manager 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.

Modular Service Tool
Whether you have a Stand Alone, Interconnected, or Networked Orion
Controls System, the Modular Service T ool always connects to an HV AC
unit 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 T ool and
the other end to the mini-DIN connector on the HV AC unit controller . If
this is an Interconnected System, all controllers that are interconnected
with communications cable can be programmed from any HVAC unit
controller on the loop. If this is a Networked System, all controllers
on the entire Networked System can be programmed from one HVAC
unit controller.

Modular System Manager
NOTE: The Modular System Manager can be used with the
VCM-X Controller, but not with the RNE Controller . The
interface options for the RNE Controller are the Modular
Service Tool, the System Manager Touch Screen, or
Prism II Software.
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 5 on page 6 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 7
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.

current outdoor air temperature. The System Manager normally ships
from the factory set for SA (Stand-Alone Mode). If you do not have a
CommLink or MiniLink polling device on your system and have one or
more controllers connected and only one System Manager, the system
must be set for SA (Stand-Alone Mode). If you have a CommLink or
MiniLink PD on your system and only have a single System Manager, the
system must be set for NM (Network Mode). If you have a CommLink
or MiniLink polling device on your system and have multiple System
Managers on your System, the system must be set for MM (Multiple
System Managers Mode). If you believe your system is incorrectly
confi gured, please read the instructions that follow. If your system is
confi gured correctly, proceed to the System Manager Network Mode
Loop Search section on page 11.
Confi guring for Stand-Alone Mode, Multiple
System Managers Mode, or Network Mode
The System Manager must be confi gured for the correct mode of opera-
tion for your system. There are 3 modes of operation available for the
Orion System—Stand-Alone, Multiple MGRS, and Network Mode.
Look at the bottom line of the display as mentioned in the previous
paragraph and determine which mode your System Manager is currently
set for. If you are using this System Manager on a communications loop
that doesn’t have a MiniLink PD or CommLink connected to it and you
have a single System Manager on your system, then you need to operate
in Stand-Alone Mode. The fi rst two characters on the bottom line of
the display should be SA. If you are using this System Manager on a
communications loop, have a MiniLink PD or CommLink installed, and
have multiple System Managers, then you need to operate in Multiple
MGRS Mode. The fi rst two characters on the bottom line of the display
should be MM. If you are using this System Manager on a communications loop that has a MiniLink PD or CommLink installed and you
have a single System Manager for your entire system, then you need to
operate in Network Mode. The fi rst two characters on the bottom line
of the display should be NM.

PASSCODE CLEARANCE
Enter Passcode: XXXX
The System Manager has two levels of user access. Level 1 users are
limited to viewing status and/or changing the Time and Date and Operating Schedules. Level 2 users have complete system access. Any status
or setpoint fi eld can be read or reset from the System Manager.
This screen allows you to enter new Level 1 or Level 2 passcodes. The
actual digits in your passcodes are never displayed. An “X” is used as a
place holder for each digit entered. Passcodes must always be four digits
in length, so the usable range of numbers is 1000 to 9999.
CAUTION: If you change the Level 2 passcode and cannot
remember what it is, you will be locked out of
your system!

Modular Service Tool
The Modular Service Tool is very similar to the System Manager in its
operations. T wo exceptions to this are that unlike the System Manager,
the Service Tool does not check the entire system when performing an
“Alarm” or “Override” search, and it does not have any passcoding
capability.
NOTE: When you press the
button on the Modular Service Tool, it will search only
the loop number of the unit ID that you have entered;
therefore, you must search each local loop individually
to access all alarms or overrides on the system.

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
