Orion M f FUTUREDESIC 3 3 Control Output Assignments The 100 Series controls have two control outputs that can be assigned to operate as heat cool indirect direct If only a single control output is used output 1 for heating or cooling operation the Orion M will display a percentage of output of 0 0 100 0 for the output If both outputs are used in a heat cool application output 1 is heat and output 2 is cool the Orion M will display a value of 100 096 to 100 096 for the percentage of output In this case 0 096 represents both heat and cool outputs are off Values from 0 0 to 100 0 represent the percentage of heat output from off to full on and values from 0 0 to 100 096 represent the percentage of cool output from off to full on NOTE Output 2 of the 100 Series controller can be configured to act as an alarm output If configured as an alarm output it will cause the Orion M to report an incorrect percentage of output reading when the alarm output is active When the output is on it will cause an offset of 10096 in the percentage of output reading shown on the Orion M For example if control output 1 is at 5096 power and output 2 is activated as an alarm the Orion M will report an output of 5096 50 100 If output 1 is at full output power and output 2 is activated the Orion M will report an output percentage of 096 100 100 Therefore even though control output 1 is on the Orion M will report the
