Full Digital Module
Overview
The Full Digital Module (OE370-23-FD-A) is a device that enables and
modulates up to four digital compressors on HVAC Units controlled
by the VCM-X Modular Controller (OE332-23-VCMX-MOD-A) or
VCM-X Modular E-BUS Controller (OE332-23E-VCMX-MOD-A).
The Full Digital Module will control the digital compressors to satisfy
the cooling, dehumidi
fi
cation, and heat pump requirements of the VCM-
X Modular series controller.
If the Full Digital Module is in the Cooling Mode or Heat Pump Heat-
ing Mode, it will modulate the compressors to maintain the appropriate
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. If the module is in the Dehumidi
fi
ca-
tion Mode, it will modulate compressors to maintain the Coil Suction
Temperature Setpoint. If the module is in the Heat Pump Heating Mode,
the module can also monitor a signal for a Defrost Cycle from the VCM-
X Modular series controller if a One Condenser Head Pressure Module
(OE370-23-HP1C) is also installed.
Module Overview
Figure 1: Full Digital Module
The Full Digital Module is connected to the VCM-X Modular Control-
ler using the E-BUS Distribution Module (OE365-23-EBD). The Full
Digital Module can also be directly connected to the VCM-X Modular
E-BUS Controller. Either connection allows the Full Digital Module
to receive setpoints and monitor the Supply Air Temperature from the
VCM-X Modular series controller. The Full Digital Module requires a
24 VAC power connection with an appropriate VA rating.
NOTE:
The Full Digital Module contains no user-serviceable
parts. Contact qualified technical personnel if your
module is not operating correctly.

Environmental Requirements
The Full Digital Module needs to be installed in an environment which
can maintain a temperature range between -30°F and 150°F and not
exceed 90% RH levels (Non-Condensing).
Mounting
The Full Digital Module is housed in a plastic enclosure. It is designed
to be mounted by using the 3 mounting holes in the enclosure base. It is
important to mount the module in a location that is free from extreme high
or low temperatures, moisture, dust, and dirt. Be careful not to damage
the electronic components when mounting the module.
See Figure 2
for Module dimensions (dimensions are in inches).
Power Supply and Communications
The Full Digital Module is connected to the E-BUS Distribution Mod-
ule with a modular HSSC cable to provide communications from the
VCM-X Modular Controller. The E-BUS Distribution Module uses
WattMaster Control’s standard I
2
C modular cable to connect with the
VCM-X Modular Controller, VCM-X Expansion Module, or 12-Relay
Expansion Module.
The Full Digital Module can also be directly connected to the VCM-X
Modular E-BUS Controller, bypassing the use of the E-BUS Distribu-
tion Module.
The Full Digital Module requires a 24 VAC power supply with an ap-
propriate VA rating.
WARNING:
Observe polarity! All boards must be wired
GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-VAC. Failure to
observe polarity could result in damage to the
boards.

Installation and Wiring
Important Wiring Considerations
Please carefully read and apply the following information when wiring
the Full Digital Module:
1. The 1 to 5 VDC signals for the Copeland Compressor
Speed need to use 18-gauge shielded twisted pair cable, and
the Drain wire must be the GND signal.
2. All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all ground
wires remain common. Failure to follow this procedure can
result in damage to the module and connected devices.
3. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes and speci
fi
cations.
4. Be sure that all wiring connections are properly inserted
and tightened into the terminal blocks. Do not allow wire
strands to stick out and touch adjoining terminals. This
could potentially cause a short circuit.
5. Be sure all modular wiring harness connectors are seated
fi
rmly in their respective modular connectors on the circuit
board.
NOTE:
The Compressor Relays on the Full Digital Module
are used rather than the relay outputs on the VCM-X
Modular series controller.
WARNING:
Be sure all controllers and modules are
powered down before connecting or
disconnecting HSSC cables.

Start Up and Commissioning
General
In order to have a trouble free start-up, it is important to follow a few
simple procedures. Before applying power for the
fi
rst time, it is very
important to run through a few simple checks.
One of the most important checks to make before powering up the system
for the
fi
rst time is to make sure that the VCM-X Modular or VCM-X
Modular E-BUS Controller is con
fi
gured properly for your application.
Refer to the
VCM-X Controller Technical Guide
or
VCM-X Modular
E-BUS Controller Technical Guide
for more information. A handheld
Modular Service Tool, Modular System Manager, or System Manager
Touch Screen connected to the VCM-X Modular or VCM-X Modular
E-BUS Controller will allow you to con
fi
gure your application. Refer to
the
VCM-X / RNE Operator’s Interfaces SD Technical Guide
or
System
Manager TS II Technical Guide
for more information.
Check all wiring leads at the terminal block for tightness. Be sure that
wire strands do not stick out and touch adjacent terminals. Con
fi
rm
that all sensors required for your system are mounted in the appropriate
location and wired into the correct terminals.
WARNING:
Observe polarity! All boards must be wired
GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-VAC. Failure to
observe polarity could result in damage to the
boards.

Modes of Operation
NOTE:
See Unit Con
fi
gurations Chart on page 10 for more
information about compressor staging.
Digital Stage 1 / Digital Stage 2
On units with two Digital Scroll Compressors, the
fi
rst compressor (A1)
will be designated as Digital Stage 1 and the second compressor (A2)
will be designated as Digital Stage 2.
On units with four Digital Scroll Compressors, there may be instances
where compressor numbers on the module do not correlate with the
mechanical compressors’ numbers. Therefore, Digital Stage 1 refers to
the
fi
rst set of Digital Scroll Compressors (A1/B1) that will stage on
together and Digital Stage 2 refers to the second set of Digital Scroll
Compressors (A2/B2) that will stage on together. Please refer to AAON’s
wiring diagram for speci
fi
c wiring of the unit.
Off Mode
The Full Digital Module will be in the Off Mode when no signal is
being received from the VCM-X Modular series controller to run the
compressors.
Cooling Mode
When a Cool Signal is received, the Full Digital Module will go into
Cooling Mode. At this point, Compressor A1 (and B1*) will energize and
Digital Stage 1 Analog Output will modulate as necessary to maintain
the Supply Air Temperature at the Active Supply Air Setpoint that is
broadcast from the VCM-X Modular series controller.
When Digital Stage 1 reaches 100%, a stage up timer is started. If Digital
Stage 1 stays at 100% for the Stage Up timer, Compressor A2 (and B2*)
will energize and both Digital Stage 1 and Digital Stage 2 outputs will
go to 50% and begin to modulate together.
If both systems are energized and they go below 30% and the Supply Air
is below the Supply Air Setpoint by the Cooling Stage Window value,
the stage down timer is started. If the systems remain below 30% for
the duration of the stage down timer, Digital Stage 2 will deactivate and
Digital Stage 1 will go to 60%. Digital Stage 1 will stage down if it is
at 0% for the duration of the stage down timer.
* If con
fi
gured for 4 modulating compressors.
Heat Pump Heating Mode (Air to Air)
Heating Mode works the same as Cooling Mode except the Reversing
Valve is switched and the sequence is opposite. Compressors modulate
up when below the Heating Supply Air Setpoint and modulate down
when above the setpoint.
Dehumidi
fi
cation Mode
In Dehumidi
fi
cation Mode, compressors will be controlled to maintain
the Suction Pressure Temperature Setpoint. Digital Stage 1—Com-
pressor A1 (and B1*) will modulate up to 100% before Digital Stage
2—Compressor A2 (and B2*) can be energized. When Digital Stage 2
is energized, Digital Stage 1 will be locked at 100%.
* If con
fi
gured for 4 modulating compressors.
Defrost Mode
In Defrost Mode, if only Digital Stage 1 is energized, it will go to 100%
and the reversing valve will deactivate. If both Digital Stage 1 & Digital
Stage 2 are energized, they will both go to 100% and the reversing valve
will be deactivated. The duration for Defrost Mode is determined by the
VCM-X Modular series controller.
NOTE:
Defrost Mode is only available if a One Condenser or
Two Condenser Head Pressure Module is installed.
Staging Delays
Staging Delays minimum run times and minimum off times are sent
from the VCM-X Modular series controller.

Using LEDs to Verify Operation
The Full Digital Module is equipped with LEDs that can be used to verify
operation and perform troubleshooting. There are LEDs for communi-
cation, operation modes, and diagnostic codes. The module has seven
LEDs—one used for power, one used for operation status, one used for
alarms, and four used for the compressor relays. See
Figure 5
for the
LED locations. The LEDs associated with these inputs and outputs al-
low you to see what is active without using a voltmeter. The LEDs and
their uses are as follows:
Status LEDs
“COMM”
- The COMM LED lights up to indicate Communications
between the module and the VCM-X Modular series controller. If Com-
munications are established, the COMM LED will blink.

LED Diagnostics
“PWR” LED:
When the Full Digital Module is powered up, the PWR
LED (located below the address switches) should light up and stay on
continuously. If it does not light up, check to be sure that the power wir-
ing is connected to the board, the connections are tight, and the VCM-X
Modular series controller is powered. If after making all these checks,
the PWR LED does not light up, the module is probably defective.
“COMM” LED:
The COMM LED lights up to indicate Communica-
tions between the module and the VCM-X Modular series controller. If
the COMM LED does not blink, then communications have not been
established. Check the connection between the VCM-X Modular Con-
troller, the VCM-X Modular E-BUS Controller, the E-BUS Distribution
Module, and the Full Digital Module.
“STAT” LED:
As previously described, this LED will blink out the
operation mode that the Full Digital Module is operating under. When
the board is
fi
rst powered up, the STAT LED will do the following:
Light up
Blink out status code every ten seconds to indicate
controller
status
“ALARM” LED:
As previously described, this LED will blink on and
off to indicate alarms and diagnostics.

Troubleshooting
OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer
Testing for R410A Refrigerant
The Evaporator Coil Temperature is calculated by converting the Suc-
tion Pressure to Temperature. The Suction Pressure is obtained by using
the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer, which is connected into the
Suction Line of the Compressor.
Use the voltage column to check the Suction Pressure Transducer while
connected to the Full Digital Module. Read voltage with a meter set on
DC volts. If the temperature/voltage or pressure/voltage readings do
not align closely with the chart, your Suction Pressure Transducer is
probably defective and will need to be replaced.
See the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer, Pressure, Temperature,
and Voltage Chart for R410A Refrigerant testing (
Table 4)
. The chart
shows a temperature range from 20°F to 80°F. For troubleshooting pur-
poses, the DC Voltage readings are also listed with their corresponding
temperatures and pressures.

VCM-X Modular Controller to Full
Digital Module Wiring
When using the VCM-X Modular Controller, the E-BUS Distribution
Module is required ot connect to the Full Digital Module. The Full Digital
Module connects to the E-BUS Distribution Module using a modular
HSSC cable. The Full Digital Module requires a 24 VAC power con-
nection with an appropriate VA rating.
The E-BUS Distribution Module connects to the VCM-X Modular
Controller, VCM-X Expansion Module, or 12 Relay Expansion Module
using the I
2
C port. See
Figure 6
below for wiring.
Any E-BUS module can be connected to each of the four E-BUS
Dis-
tribution Module’s output ports or can be daisy-chained together using
HSSC cables.
If using a spliced terminal connection for longer runs, one module can be
connected to the E-BUS Distribution Module and any additional modules
would be daisy-chained to the
fi
rst module. For more information, refer
to the
E-BUS Distribution Module Technical Guide.
