Operator Interfaces
In order to con
fi
gure and program the VCB-X Controller, you must
have an Operator’s Interface or a personal computer with the Prism 2
computer front-end software installed. Two different Operator Interfaces
are available for programming of the VCB-X Controls System—the
Modular Service Tool SD and/or the System Manager TS. These de-
vices allow you to access the
status
and
setpoints
of any controller on
your communications loop. This manual describes the Modular Service
Tool SD. If using the System Manager TS II, please see the
System
Manager TS II Technical Guide
. If using Prism 2, please see the
Prism
2 Technical Guide
.
The Modular Service Tool allows you to view any input or output status
and change any setpoint to
fi
ne-tune the operations of the total system.
All keypad operations are simple and straightforward, utilizing non-
cryptic plain English messages.
