Operator Interfaces 6
General Programming Information
The Modular Service Tool or the System Manager allow the user to
view any temperature or output condition and change any setpoint to
fine tune the operations of the total system. All keypad operations are
simple and straightforward, utilizing non-cryptic plain English mes-
sages.
Display Screens & Data Entry Keys
The System Manager display screens and the Modular Service Tool
display screens are very similar. For most setpoints and modes the only
difference between using the Service Tool and the System Manager is a
few differences in the function of the keypads. In this manual where a
difference in the keypad input or the screens displayed exists between
the two operators interfaces, both screens or keypads will be shown.
See the chart below for a list of the keypad descriptions and functions.

Mode Selection Buttons
Both the System Manager and the Modular Service Tool are provided
with “Mode Selection Buttons” . These buttons give the user instant
access to the specific mode desired without having to scroll through
several menu screens to get there. The Modular Service Tool has 2
extra function keys (“Configuration” and “Balance-Test”) that are not
available on the System Manager.
Operator Interfaces Comparison
In order to configure and program the Orion System controllers you
must have an Operators Interface, the Tactio Touch Screen Interface or
a personal computer with the Prism II computer front end software in-
stalled. Two different Operator Interfaces are available for program-
ming of the Orion Controls System. You may use either the Modular
Service Tool and/or the Modular System Manager to access the status
and setpoints of any controller on your communications loop.
