System Overview

INTRODUCTION: SYSTEM
OVERVIEW

____________________________________________________

The ECC/WCC II is a microprocessor based energy management
and temperature control system designed to minimize the energy
usage of a building and maximize the occupant comfort.The ECC/
WCC II system provides the building owner with a means of
monitoring and controlling building mechanical systems from one
central location. The ECC/WCC II system provides computerized
control of building mechanical systems, but requires no computer
experience to operate or program the system.

Diagram of WCCII System

The “front end” of the ECC/WCC II system consists of a personal
computer with custom communication boards. See Diagram that
follows. The computer is referred to as the Central Processing
Unit (CPU), and the computer, keyboard, monitor (screen), printer
(optional), and modem (optional) together are referred to as the
Operator Control Console. The CPU communicates with the
remote satellite controllers using a two-wire communication loop.

Operator Interfaces

I-1

WCC II Operator’s Guide

System Overview

Operator Control Console
Components

The building operator monitors and controls the building
mechanical systems from one central location called the Operator
Control Console. The Operator Control Console consists of the
following components:

1. Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2. Keyboard

3. Monitor (CRT)

4. Printer (optional)

5. Modem (optional)

Central Processing Unit

A personal computer with custom communication boards acts as
the Central Processing Unit (CPU) which communicates with the
remote mounted satellite controllers via a two wire communication
loop.

The personal computer is dedicated to the ECC/WCC II system
and cannot be used for other functions. The use of hardware
accessories with the ECC/WCC II CPU that is not specifi cally
approved in writing by WattMaster Controls Group will void the
warranty on the ECC/WCC II system. The use of software other
than that furnished with the ECC/WCC II system may result in
system malfunction. WattMaster Controls Group is not responsible
for a system failure so generated.

Monitor

Note: We highly recommend that you only use the number

keys along the top of the keyboard while entering numeric

values and use the keypad ONLY for cursor control on the

ECC/WCC II system.

Printer

The on-site printer allows the operator to print status or schedule
summaries, a permanent record of entered programs, and trend
logging reports. The printer will automatically print alarms as they
occur, print operator ID as the user signs on and off the system,
and print any overrides that are entered.

Satellite Controller

The satellite controllers are fi eld mounted, microprocessor based
units which provide direct digital control of building mechanical
systems. The satellite controllers receive operating instructions
from the CPU, but once they are programmed, they have the
“brains” to monitor and control building mechanical systems
independently of the CPU. If communication from the CPU to
the satellite controllers is broken, the satellite controllers will
continue to control at programmable setpoints. In the event of a
primary power failure, the satellites will retain both their operating
instructions and accumulated data in battery backed memory.

The three versions of the satellite controller that will communicate
with the ECC/WCC II system are the SAT II, SAT II-A, and SAT
II-B.

The monitor resembles a television and displays computer data in
text on its cathode ray tube (CRT), or screen.

Keyboard

The keyboard is arranged like a typewriter to allow manual entry
of data and programs. We suggest that you fi rst become familiar
with the keyboard before attempting to operate the system. Refer
to the owner’s manual supplied with your computer for additional
keyboard information.

Operator Interfaces

WCC II Operator’s Guide

System Overview

SAT II

Sensors and relays etc. are wired to the SAT II controller to allow
it to monitor and control loads directly. Each SAT II controller can
handle the following number of inputs and outputs:

8 analog or binary inputs

•

•

16 additional binary inputs

- 1 binary input board receives 8 binary inputs

- 2 binary input boards may be used with one
SAT II

8 analog outputs (0-15 VDC maximum range)

•

- 1 DAC module enables 4 analog outputs

- 2 DAC modules may be installed in SAT II

- Any or all of the 8 analog outputs may be
converted to binary outputs using 1 V-Out
to Binary board

- 1 chip switch is required for each binary
output

•

16 binary outputs

- 1 chip switch is required for each binary
output

SAT II-A

The SAT II-A is a version of the satellite controller that allows the
ECC/WCC II front end computer to communicate with remote
mounted Terminal Unit Controllers.

The Terminal Unit Controller (TUC) is a microprocessor based
device which can be used to control terminal units such as pressure
dependent variable air volume (VAV) boxes, pressure dependent
fan power boxes, fan coil units, heat pumps etc. The TUC can be
used as a stand-alone controller, or the TUC can be used with the
ECC/WCC II system.

The TUC accepts an input from a room temperature sensor to allow
it to monitor the space temperature and when used with the SA
(Stepper Actuator) actuator, provides pressure dependent control
of the primary air damper on terminal units such as variable air
volume boxes, constant fan power induction units, and intermittent
fan power induction units. The SA Actuator is not an integral
part of the TUC and must be ordered and purchased separately.
The TUC can also have three relay outputs to provide control of
the fan and fi rst and second stages of heat on fan terminal units,
or to control the fan, compressor, and reversing valve on a heat
pump. The TUC can also provide an output to control two 24 VDC
solenoid air valves to obtain “feed” and “bleed” type control of
pneumatic controlled devices. The TUC is generally mounted at
the terminal unit (i.e. VAV box, heat pump, etc.).

When the TUC’s are to be used with the ECC/WCC II system,
a type SAT II-A satellite controller is required as the interface
between the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the Terminal Unit
Controller (TUC). The SAT II-A is a special version of the satellite
controller, and its only purpose is to interface with the TUC’s. Up
to 32 TUC’s can be connected to one SAT II-A using a 3-wire,
shielded cable. The TUC’s are wired to the SAT II-A in a “daisy
chain” arrangement. That is to say, the 3-wire cable does not have
to be run from each TUC back to the SAT II-A. The 3-wire cable
is run from the SAT II-1 to the nearest TUC and the 3-wire cable is
extended from that TUC to the next.

TUC Input/Output Features

The fi ve versions of the pressure dependent TUC are shown in the
table that follows:

Model TUC Description

TUC-R 3 Relays with 2 amp, 24 Volt SPDT Contacts

TUC-A Stepper Motor Actuator Output

TUC-AR Stepper Motor Actuator Output & 3-24 Volt

SPDT Relays

TUC-P Pneumatic Output

TUC-PR Pneumatic Output & 3-24 Volt SPDT Relays

Note: The SA actuator and solenoid air valves must be

ordered and purchased separately.

SAT II-B

The SAT II-B is similar to the SAT II-A, only the SAT II-B
communicates with up to 32 TUC-VR’s.

The TUC-VR is a velocity resetting (pressure independent)
controller for use with variable air volume (VAV) terminal units.
The TUC-VR mounts on the VAV box and communicates with
the front end ECC/WCC II through a SAT II-B. The TUC-VR
provides precise direct digital control of the following types of
VAV terminal units:

1-Cooling Only

2-Cooling/Staged Electric Reheat

3-Cooling/Time Proportioning Electric Reheat

4-Cooling Proportional Reheat Valve

5-Parallel Fan Powered/No Reheat

Optional Enhanced Color Graphics

The Enhanced Color Graphics option allows the ECC/WCC II
system to display up to 60 color graphic pictures in the same front
end computer that acts as the ECC/WCC II CPU. The color graphic
pictures can be drawn using nearly any color graphics package,
and once the picture is displayed on the screen, a “snap-shot” of
the picture is captured and used as the background picture on the
Enhanced Color Graphics Screen. Dynamic analog and binary
values are then placed on the screen to allow the user to see actual
temperatures, status, etc. in the proper place on the picture.

When ordering the Enhanced Color Graphics option, a WCC II with
a 20MB hard disk, an EGA card, and color monitor is required as
the front end computer along with the additional Enhanced Color
Graphics software and a graphics package such as PC Paintbrush.

Optional Tenant Override

The Tenant Override Feature allows the occupants in the building
to call the ECC/WCC II system on the telephone and cause the
lights and/or heating and/or cooling equipment to control according
to their occupied (daytime) control scheme. The system has the
capability of overriding the control for 500 zones.

The ECC/WCC II system will “talk” to the tenant using an artifi cial
voice, and the user instructs the ECC/WCC II system by pressing
the numbers on the telephone.

A summary report of which tenants used the telephone override
system is available for billing purposes. A separate telephone line
is required for the Tenant Override Feature.

System Size

The central processing unit is capable of communicating with up
to 240 SAT II controllers. The front end ECC/WCC II considers
each SAT II-A or SAT II-B as 4 SAT II controllers. The equivalent
number of satellite controllers must be under 240.

A system with 240 satellite controllers is capable of handling up to
11520 points, a point being a hard wired input or output.

Modular Construction

Equipment cost is reduced because the system, including the satellite
controllers, is modular. Only the number of satellite controllers
required for the job are purchased, and only the required number of
outputs are purchased for the satellites. Installation cost is reduced
because “global” information gathered at one satellite can be shared
with other satellites, eliminating costly intermediate controls.

Analog Inputs

An analog input is a numerical value (signal) sent to the SAT II
controller to allow monitoring of space temperatures, duct pressures
etc. The SAT II controller can accept 8 analog inputs which
are named, A1-A8. (Note: A1-8 may be either analog or binary
inputs.) On certain screens (such as Global Analog Screens), you
must indicate the satellite controller number along with the channel
on the satellite controller. For example, 12A2 means analog input
number 2 on satellite controller #12.

The analog inputs are usually wired to the “+V” and “ATI” (Actual
Temperature In) terminals on the SAT II controller (three wire
sensors are wired to the “GND” terminal also.) The “+V” terminal
on channels 1-7 are a 12 VDC power source. The “+V” terminal
on channel 8 provides either 12 VDC or 18 VDC depending on
the position of the jumper under the cover near channel 8. To get
12 VDC from the “+V” terminal on channel 8, the jumper must
connect the A and B terminals. To get 18 VDC, the jumper must
connect the B and C terminals.

A 20 mA sensor can be used on up to 5 channels on the SAT II
controller. The total current for all 8 analog inputs must be kept
under 115 mA.

Binary Inputs

A binary input is an On/Off (dry contact closure) signal sent to
the SAT II controller to allow monitoring of air fl ow switches,
switch settings, etc. The SAT II controller comes standard with
16 small toggle switches on its front panel labeled, L1-L16 which
are in effect manually controlled binary inputs. The ECC/WCC II
monitors the On/Off status of these switches and can control and/or
alarm based on the position of these switches. The binary input
board(s) allow the manual toggle switches to be replaced with a
terminal strip which accepts wiring from remote mounted binary
input devices.

The SAT II controller has two sets of 8 small toggle switches on its
front cover labeled L1-L16. Switches L1-L8 are housed together in
one module, and switches L9-L16 are housed together in another
module. One module of switches is removed for each binary input
board and replaced with a ribbon cable which connects the binary
input board to the SAT II controller. The binary devices to be
monitored are then wired to the terminal strip of the binary input
board. The binary input board requires a 24 VAC power supply.

Analog Outputs

An analog output is a variable DC voltage signal sent from the
satellite controller used for proportional control of devices with
modulating actuators. The analog outputs are wired to the “V-Out”
and “Gnd” terminals on the SAT II controller and are named P1­P8. The P stands for Proportional Output.

The SAT II controller has the capability of providing 8 analog
output signals which have a maximum range of 0-15 VDC. If the
analog outputs are to be used, V-Out modules must be purchased
and are fi eld installed. One V-Out module is required for 4 analog
outputs, and two V-Out modules can be installed in one satellite
controller to allow one satellite controller to provide up to eight
analog outputs.

Each analog output has a limit of 15 mA. The total current output
of all 8 analog outputs must be kept under 115 mA.

Note: Later versions of the satellite controllers require two

modules for each set of four analog outputs. On these models,

sockets U-9 and U-10 activate outputs 1-4, and sockets U-11

and U-14 activate outputs 5-8.

Binary Outputs

A binary output on the SAT II controller is the electronic equivalent
of a relay contact which is used to complete a 24 VAC circuit to
activate on/off devices such as relays, 2-position valves, etc. The
binary output contacts cannot be used to complete a DC voltage
circuit; they will work with AC circuits only. The binary output
terminals are labeled H, COM, and C.

The SAT II controller is capable of providing 16 binary (on/
off) outputs. Each binary output requires 1 chip switch which is
purchased separately and is fi eld installed.

The terminals for the binary outputs are found at the lower left hand
corner of the SAT II controller. The “COM” to “H” contacts are
referred to as K1h-K8h. The “COM” to “C” contacts are referred
to as K1c-K8c.

Point Addresses

A Point Address uniquely identifi es a point within the ECC/WCC
II system. All point addresses have an associated “analog” or
“binary” value. The term “analog” simply means a value which
is represented by a number (such as room temperature, duct static
pressure, etc.). The term “binary” means the value is represented by
one of two conditions, ON or OFF. An input is a signal sent to the
ECC/WCC II system, and an output is sent from the ECC/WCC II
system. Therefore, room temperature is an analog input, fan status
is a binary input, and controlling a fan relay is a binary output.

In addition to the inputs and outputs that are wired to the SAT
II controllers, there are several software point addresses within
the system. For example, the ECC/WCC II system has 32 week
schedules. This means that a separate day/night schedule can be
assigned to 32 different areas of the building.

For example, assume that you have three different areas in a
building that have different schedules as shown in the following
table.

Area Occupied Time

Week Schedule #1 1st Floor West 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, M-F

Week Schedule #2 1st Floor East 7:00 am - 7:00 pm, M-F

Week Schedule #3 2nd Floor 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, M-Th

Week Schedule #1 is named W1, and the value of W1 will be On
between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, etc.

The Name column in the table that follows is the name that you
should use when specifying a point address to the system. The “n”
is where a “point number” for the point address is to be entered.

Time & TimeB

These logical addresses are the actual time on HH:MM (TIME) and
minutes-since-midnight (TIMEB) formats. They are considered
analog values and have value ranges of 0000 to 2359 (TIME), and
0000 to 1439 (TIMEB).

Typical application of these logical addresses includes use in
the Dual Limit mode, allowing such modes of control as “On­Between-Times” and “Off-Between-Times.”

NEWSET, NEWMIN, NEWHR, NEWDAY, & NEWMON

These logical addresses are considered binary values and are based
on real-time. They have a pulse-type nature in that each of these
addresses has a value of one (or ON) for one second after the
occurrence of the specifi ed event. After the one second ON period
has elapsed, the value returns to zero (or OFF).

These addresses have several uses throughout the system. One
example would be the generation of a variable duty cycle output.
When used in conjunction with the separate “Minimum ON/OFF”
timers, these addresses can achieve cycles of from one second to
several days with a wide range of cycles.

Examples of “point addresses” within the system:

Data Registers

The ECC/WCC II system has some capabilities built into the
software that are very helpful, and you should be aware of them.
There is a Data Register associated with each of the Control
Output Screens. A Control Output Screen allows the user to tell
the satellite controller when to open and close the binary output
contacts. A Control Output Screen can be a Time Clock, EA Driver,
or Dual Limit Mode Screen.

Time Clock

When the binary output contact on the satellite controller is
controlled by a Time Clock Screen, the contact opens and closes
based on time only. For example, a Time Clock Screen can be used
to run a water circulating pump from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday
through Friday. Each Time Clock Screen has a Data Register
associated with it.

The Data Register is an analog value which is the time in seconds
since the satellite controller binary output contact closed. Assume
the water circulating pump is controlled by satellite controller
contact K1h. That is to say, the “COM” to “H” contact on channel
1 of the satellite controller closes to complete a 24 VAC signal to
run the pump.

Name Description

135A5 Satellite #135, Analog Input #5

A5 Analog Input #5, Current Satellite

W12 Week Schedule #12

S27 Optimal Start #27

C1 Setpoint Comparator on Analog Input #1

K1h

14P3

When K1h is ON, the chip switch within the
satellite controller which connects the electrical
path between the “H” and “COM” terminals on

channel 1 of the satellite controller is closed.

When K1h is OFF, the circuit is open.

Satellite #14, Analog Output #3.

The Data Register for a Time Clock Screen is named RnA or RnB.
R stands for data register, n refers to channel 1-8 of the satellite
controller, A means the “COM” to “H” contact, and B means the
“COM” to “C” contact. Therefore, the Data Register for contact
K1h is R1A. As contact K1h closes, the Data Register for contact
Klh (R1A) starts recording time in seconds. That is to say, the value
of R1A is the time in seconds since contact K1h closed.

RnA = Time in seconds since COM to H contact closed
RnB = Time in seconds since COM to C contact closed

The Data Register for a Time Clock Screen might be used to
start one piece of equipment after another has been started. For
example, assume we want to start an air handler two minutes after
the water circulating pump starts. The pump would be controlled
by a Time Clock Screen as mentioned above. The air handler would
be controlled using a Dual Limit Screen. The analog input value
for the Dual Limit Screen would be R1A, which is time in seconds
since the pump started. The Dual Limit Screen is set up to close the
contact for the air handler when the value of R1A is between 120
seconds and infi nity.

WCC II Operator’s Guide

Section 1: General Instructions

EA Driver

The EA Driver Mode is “3-point fl oating” control. For example,
assume that the control outputs on channel 2 of the satellite
controller are used to control a Tempmaster VAV box using the
EA Driver Mode. When the space needs heat, the “COM” to “H”
contacts on the satellite controller will close to drive the damper in
the VAV box to the closed position. When the space needs cooling,
the “COM” to “C” contact on the satellite controller will close to
open the damper in the VAV box.

There are two Data Registers associated with an EA Driver Screen.
The value of the fi rst Data Register is equal to the setpoint entered
on the EA Driver Screen and is referred to as “RnA.” The value
of the second Data Register is equal to the difference between the
setpoint and the actual temperature and is referred to as “RnB.”
“R” stands for data register, and “n” refers to channel 1-8 of the
satellite controller.

RnA = Setpoint
RnB = Difference between Setpoint and Measured Value (error)

For example, assume that the setpoint for the room in question
is 72 °F, and the actual temperature is 70 °F. The value of Data
Register R2A (setpoint) is 72 °F, and the value of Data Register
R2B (error) is -2 °F, since the actual space temperature is 2 °F
below the setpoint.

The Data Register could be used to turn on a second stage of heat
whenever the space temperature falls 2 °F below setpoint. Assume
that the second stage of heat is a heating coil which is energized
when satellite controller contact K3h is closed. A Dual Limit Screen
is used to control contact K3h. Data Register R2B is entered as
the analog input value for the Dual Limit Screen. When the value
of R2B is -2 or less (the space temperature is at least 2 °F below
setpoint), contact K3h closes to turn on the second stage of heat.

The Data Register for a Dual Limit Screen is named “RnA” or
RnB.” “R” stands for data register, “n” refers to channel 1-8 of the
satellite controller, “A” means the “COM” to “H” contact, and “C”
means the “COM” to “C” contact. Therefore, the Data Register for
contact Klh is R1A.

RnA = Difference between Setpoint and Measured Value (COM
to H)

RnB = Difference between Setpoint and Measured Value (COM
to C)

The Dual Limit Screen has two setpoints, the high limit and the low
limit. Since the Data Register is the difference between the setpoint
and the actual temperature, you have to “tell” the system what you
are considering the setpoint to be. Therefore, the Data Register is
measured from either the “Midpoint” or “Nearest Limit” of the
setpoints, depending on how the Dual Limit Screen is set up.

For example, assume that a Dual Limit Screen is used to control a
heat pump compressor to have the compressor off if the space is
between 70 and 74 °F. If the space temperature is below 70 °F, the
compressor will be on for heating, and if the space temperature is
above 74 °F, the compressor will be on for cooling. Assume the
actual space temperature is 76 °F.

The Data Register can be measured from either the “Midpoint”
or the “Nearest Limit.” If the Data Register is measured from the
“Midpoint,” the value of the Data is 4 °F.

Low Limit High Limit
70 72 74 76
4 Deg
Midpoint Actual Temperature

Data Register

Dual Limit

When the binary output contact on the satellite controller
is controlled by a Dual Limit Screen, the contact opens and
closes based on how the analog input value compares to a pair
of setpoints. There is one Data Register for each contact on the
satellite controller which is controlled by a Dual Limit Screen. The
value of the Data Register is the difference between the setpoint
and the actual temperature.

Operator Interfaces

Difference between actual temperature and the “Midpoint” of the
setpoints = 4 °F, and therefore, the value of the Data Register is 4
°F.

If the Data Register is measured from the nearest limit, the value of
the Data Register is 2 °F.

Alarm Print-Out and Call-Out

The ECC/WCC II will automatically print alarms as they occur
on a local printer or will call out over standard telephone lines
and report the alarms to a remote printer. There are eight different

Analog Alarm Limit

Each analog input can have a low and high limit assigned to it
on the Analog Input Screen. If the value of the analog input falls
below the low limit or rises above the high limit, the system
automatically generates an alarm. For example, assume that the
analog input in question is a room temperature sensor located in
an offi ce space. If the space temperature falls below 68 °F or rises
above 80 °F during the occupied period, we want an alarm to print
on the printer. To set up the alarm limits, fi rst sign on by accessing
the System Parameter Screen and entering your password. An
access level of 1 or greater is required to enter or change alarm
limits. After you are signed on, return to the Main Menu and place
the cursor over “ANALOG INPUT” and press <RETURN>. An
Analog Input Screen similar to what is shown below should come

The alarm limits along with the alarm type and alarm message
numbers are assigned on this screen (see the Analog Input Screen
section of this guide on page 3-9 for more information). If the
space temperature drifts out of the entered alarm limits, the system
will automatically generate an alarm. For example, assume that the
space temperature rises above the high limit value of 80 °F. Alarm
message #1 (High Temperature) along with the time and date of the
alarm and the high peak value of the room temperature will appear
on Analog Input Summary Screen and the Alarm Summary Screen.
Within one minute from the time the alarm appears on the screen, it
will automatically be printed on the local printer. (To acknowledge

Satellite Fail Alarm

If the Central Processing Unit loses communications with a satellite
controller, a Satellite Alarm will print on the printer showing which
satellite is out of service and the time and date of the alarm.

Operator Sign On/Off

The ECC/WCC II system will automatically print the operator ID,
time, and date when an operator signs on or off the system. The
message will also indicate the password level of the operator and
if he or she signed on/off locally or remotely. When the operator
signs off, the total amount of time the operator has been signed on
the system will also be printed.

Manual Overrides

When the operator uses the Override Screen to force a point to
another value, a message will be printed indicating what was
overridden along with the time and date of the override.

To utilize the “call-out” on alarm feature, a 1200 baud Hayes
compatible modem is required at the on-site ECC/WCC II
computer, and a 1200 baud Hayes compatible modem and an IBM
graphics compatible printer, custom confi gured with a high speed
serial adapter is required at the remote site.

System Re-Boot

When the system is re-booted or restarted by either shutting the
computer off and then turning it back on or using <Ctrl> <Alt>
and <Del>, a message is shown on the printer showing the time
and date of the re-boot.

Hardware Requirements

The ECC/WCC II print routine is a standard software feature, and
the standard CPU has all of the hardware items required to support
a local printer. If local print-out is desired, an Okidata 182A, IBM
compatible, parallel printer with a standard IBM compatible cable
is recommended. We cannot offer trouble-shooting support if other
printers are used.

The local printer must be a parallel printer as opposed to a serial
printer. The ECC/WCC II CPU has a parallel and a serial port for
data output. The difference between a parallel and serial port is the
way in which data is transmitted. The only purpose a parallel port
serves is to send data to a printer on-site, and therefore the local
printer must be a parallel printer.

__________________________________________

The programs and data which are necessary to cause the personal
computer to act as the ECC/WCC II Central Processing Unit
are saved on a diskette(s) similar to the way music is stored on a
cassette tape.

Note: The personal computer also has special integrated

circuit boards, manufactured at WattMaster, which allow it to

act as the CPU.

After the satellite controllers have been installed and powered up,
the Central Processing Unit (personal computer) set up, and the 2­wire communication line between the satellite controllers and the
CPU hooked up (see the Installation and Trouble Shooting Guide
for satellite controller start-up and check-out information), the
software needs to be loaded into the system. Loading the software
is a term which means that data on the diskettes is transferred into
the memory of the personal computer and/or into the memory of
the satellite controllers.

The personal computer used with the ECC/WCC II system may
have either two fl oppy disk drives or one fl oppy disk drive and one
hard disk drive. If the front end computer is an IBM system 2, the
fl oppy disks are 3.5 inch; otherwise, they are 5.25 inch disks. The

3.5 inch disks are sometimes referred to as micro fl oppy disks or
micros. The disk drive on the left hand side of the computer (Drive
A) always accepts a fl oppy disk. The right hand disk drive uses
either a fl oppy disk or a hard disk. If it is a fl oppy disk, then it is
referred to as drive B; if it is a hard disk then it is referred to as drive
C. Hard disks hold much more data than a fl oppy. A hard disk is
recommended on systems which have over 20 satellite controllers
and is required on systems which utilize Enhanced Color Graphics
or the Telephone Override Feature.

You should receive the following disks with an ECC/WCC II
system:

Dual Floppy Systems

“DOS Disk - Version 3.3”
“Drive A Operating Disk”
“Drive B Operating Disk”
“Drive A Back Up Disk”
“Drive B Back Up Disk”

Hard Disk Drive Systems

“DOS Disk - Version 3.3”
“Back Up Disk #1”
“Back Up Disk #2”

The DOS (Disk Operating System) Manual is shipped in the box
with the ECC/WCC II CPU (personal computer). You should
fi nd two disks in the back of the DOS manual; you need the disk
labeled “DOS”. The ECC/WCC II system will operate with DOS

2.1 or greater.

CAUTION: DOS 2.1 must be used on dual fl oppy systems

which have 5.25 inch disk drives. The DOS 3.3 fi le is too large

and will not allow enough room for the other ECC/WCC II

fi les.

If you have a dual disk system, “Disk A” will stay in Drive A of the
ECC/WCC II CPU (personal computer) and “Disk B” will remain
in drive B. If you have a “Hard Disk” system, the “Disk A” and
“Disk B” will be copies onto the hard disk (Drive C).

It is very important to make back-up copies of the disks after the
system has been “programmed” to control your building.

You can tell if your system has a hard disk by looking at the disk
drives on the personal computer. A disk drive that uses a fl oppy
disk has a door with a slot which allows you to insert and remove
the disk. The hard disk is permanently in the drive, and therefore
there is no door on the front of the drive. If your system has two
fl oppy disk drives, then it is referred to as a “ Dual Floppy” or a
“ Dual Disk Drive” system. If the disk on the right does not have a
disk drive door, then the disk in the right hand drive is a hard disk,
and the system is referred to as a “Hard Disk” or “Fixed Disk”
system.

Operator Interfaces

Dual Disk Drive Systems

If the ECC/WCC II CPU (personal computer) has two “fl oppy”
disk drives, then the following procedure should be followed to
load the software into the computer. Before you can load the ECC/
WCC II software, you need to have the following items:

1) “Drive A Operating Disk”

2) “Drive B Operating Disk”

2-1

WCC II Operator’s Guide

Section 2: Initiating the System

Insert the ECC/WCC II “Drive A Operating Disk” into drive A
(left hand drive), the “Drive B Operating Disk” into drive B (right
hand drive) and “boot-up” the system.

If your computer is off: Turn the power on. Then close the
disk drive doors.

If your computer is on: Press and hold <Ctrl> and <Alt>.
Then press and hold <Del>.

After a few seconds the computer should read the data from the
disks, and it will automatically bring up the ECC/WCC II Main

Menu.

Note: As you program a system to control a building,

information is written on the disks. It is very important to

make back-up copies of the “Working” disks after the system

has been programmed to control the building.

Hard Disk Drive Systems

If the ECC/WCC II CPU (personal computer) is a “Hard-Disk”
system, the ECC/WCC II program is stored on the hard disk so
“booting-up” the system will cause the ECC/WCC II Main Menu
to appear on the screen.

If your computer is off: Open the drive A door and then turn
the power on.

If your computer is on: Press and hold <Ctrl> and <Alt>.
Then press and hold <Del>.

After a few seconds the computer should read the date from the
hard disk (drive C) and the ECC/WCC II Main Menu system
should eventually appear on the screen.

The hard disk can hold a vast amount of data which can accidentally
be erased or lost due to system malfunction, operator error, etc.
Therefore it is extremely important to make a back-up copy of
the data on the hard disk. As you program a system to control a
building, information is written on the disks. Therefore, back-up
copies of the hard disk should be made after the system has been
programmed to control the building.

Copying Disks

“ Backing-up” a disk means to make a copy of the disk’s data on
another disk. Back-up copies of all of the disks should be made in
case the primary disk is destroyed, lost or stolen. The information
on a hard disk can be transferred to several fl oppy disks, a cassette
tape or another hard disk.

To make a back-up copy of a disk, you must have the following
items:

1 - The “Source Disk” (the disk you want to back up)

2 - The “Target Disk” (the disk that will receive the data)

3 - DOS (version 2.1 or higher)

Formatting Disks

The fi rst step in copying disks is to format the disk which will serve
as the “Target Disk.” After the disk has been formatted, the system
can direct the fi les to be stored in certain places.

The following procedure should be followed to format disks:

WARNING: Make sure that the disk that you format does not

contain any programs that you want to save. The formatting

process will erase everything presently on the disk.

Before you start the disk formatting procedure, the “A>“ should
appear on the screen. If you are using the ECC/WCC II system
to format the disks, you should “exit” from the ECC/WCC II
system.

To exit from the ECC/WCC II program, you must have level 3
access. Access the Utility Screen and then move the cursor down
to “WCC/SCC File Management” and then press the right arrow
key. The cursor should move to “Exit WCC II System.” Then press

<Enter>. The system should exit to DOS and either an A>, B> or

C> will appear on the screen. If the B> or C> appears, the A> will
appear if you enter the following command:

B>A: <Enter>

n File(s) copied

The diskette in drive B now contains the same data as the disk in
drive A. Remove this diskette and label it using a SOFT FELT TIP
PEN.

We recommend using the newly made disk in the system and
keeping the original in a safe place to be used as back-up in case
of an emergency.

Copying Data - Hard Disk Drive
Systems

The data that is stored on the hard disk can be accidentally erased
or the hard disk can malfunction resulting in all the data being
destroyed. Since a hard disk can hold such a huge amount of data,
it is extremely important to have a back-up copy of the information
on the hard disk.

There are several ways to obtain a back-up copy of the hard disk,
which include:

Floppy Disk Back-Up

Cassette Tape Back-Up

Selected Program Back-Up

Copying Data - Dual Floppy Systems

The information from the “Source Disk” is copied onto the “Target
Disk” using the following procedure:

1) Insert the “Source Disk” into drive A (left drive) and

1.
close the door. Insert a newly formatted diskette into
drive B and close the door. With the A> prompt showing
on the screen, type the following command:

A>COPY *.* B:/V <Enter>

The screen will now display the copy process:

A>COPY *.* B:<Enter>

COMMAND.COM

2-4

The information from the hard disk can be copied onto fl oppy disks
using the disk copy procedure outlined in the DOS manual. The
problem with this method is that it is very time consuming and it
requires many fl oppy disks. Therefore, we recommend using either
a cassette tape or a selected program to back up the data on the hard
disk. If you need help in selecting a tape or selected program for
your system, feel free to contact WattMaster for assistance.

If your system has a 5.25 inch fl oppy drive, it will take several
disks to back up the hard disk, and therefore, a back-up program
should be used. If your system has a 3.5 inch fl oppy drive, you can
generally copy all of the system fi les and help fi les onto one disk,
all of the data fi les onto another disk, and the custom screen fi les
onto a third disk. If the color graphics option is used, a back-up
program is recommended.

WCC II Operator’s Guide

Section 2: Initiating the System

Generally, the ECC/WCC II systems with less than 20 satellite
controllers which do not use the optional telephone override feature
or the color graphics feature require three 3.5 inch fl oppy drives to
back up the hard disk.

Returning to the ECC/WCC II Program

Dual Disk Drive Systems

If you are using the ECC/WCC II personal computer to copy the
disks, the need to replace the ECC/WCC II disks in the proper
drives and “re-boot” the system by fi rst pressing <Ctrl> and <Alt>,
and then pressing <Del>. After a couple of minutes, the Main Menu
should appear on the screen.

Assign Operator Access Codes

Access codes can be assigned for up to 16 operators with 4 levels
of access. The systems are sent from the factory with an operator
number of 33333 and an access number of 3333. To assign other
codes, follow the steps in this section.

STEP #1: With the Main Menu showing on the screen, place

the cursor above “System Parameters” and press <Enter> to
access the System Parameter Screen. The System Parameter
Screen should come into view with the computer awaiting the
operator ID.

STEP #2: Input the factory set identifi cation number of

33333 and press <Enter>. The numbers at the top of the

keyboard must be used. The cursor will automatically move to
the right and await the code ID.

STEP #3: Input the factory set code number of 3333 and

press <Enter>. The message to the right of the cursor should
change from “View Screen Only” to “View All

.”

Codes

STEP #4: Use the right arrow key to move the cursor to the

right of the “View All Codes” message.

STEP #5: Press <Enter>, and the screen will appear which

will allow codes for 16 operators with 4 levels of access. The
descriptions of the access levels are listed at the bottom of this
screen.

Hard Disk Drive Systems

Open the door on drive A and “re-boot” the system by pressing

<Ctrl> and <Alt> and then pressing <Del>. After a couple of

minutes, the Main Menu should appear on the screen.

CAUTION: The CPU will not communicate with the satellite

controllers while it is going through the “re-boot” process. If

the satellite controllers do not communicate with the CPU for

approximately two minutes, they will go into local set. The

time it takes for the system to “re-boot” will usually cause the

satellite controllers to go into local set.

STEP #6: Access codes can be assigned for the operators

who will be using the system. The operator ID is 5 characters
using any letters, numbers, or symbols (it is important to
input all 5 characters when inputting an operator code; a
space may be entered as a character if desired). The code ID
is 4 characters using any letters, numbers, or symbols (it is
important to enter all 4 characters for the code ID; a space may
be used as a character if desired). The system will distinguish
between small and capital letters. To assign an operator ID,
type the desired characters and press <Enter>. The cursor will
automatically move to the right and await the code ID. Type
the desired code ID and press <Enter>. The cursor will now
automatically move to the right and await the Level access
number. Type in this Level number (1 through 3, 1 being the
lowest and 3 being the highest) and press <Enter>.

STEP #7: After the codes have been entered, make sure

you know what the codes are before leaving this screen. We
recommend leaving the 33333, 3333 access code until the
other codes are tested. To leave this screen, press <HOME>
twice to return to the System Parameter Screen. Press

<HOME> once more to return to the Main Menu.
