The OWL Touch incorporates a new full color touch screen display to provide easy control of your

dental utility room equipment. Simple, easy to understand screen layouts make navigation of this

powerful device a cinch.

Four different categories of devices can be controlled through a single OWL Touch panel:

Vacuum Units

RAMVAC brand vacuum units with the new S2 control can be easily plugged into the OWL Touch and

will display maintenance notifications, fault messages and other system data. However even non-

RAMVAC vacuum units can be controlled via an OWL Interface Control attached to the OWL Touch.

Air Compressors

RAMVAC Osprey air compressors featuring the new C2 control (Smart Control) are easily connected

and will provide similar information for the compressor units. Osprey compressors with a Basic control

or non-RAMVAC brand compressors can also be connected via the OWL Interface Control.

Water Valve

Any type of master water control valve utilizing a 24 volt solenoid valve can be easily turned on and

off with an OWL Interface Control.

Auxiliary Devices

Any type of system that can be turned on and off with a switch can be controlled by an OWL Interface

Control (up to 10 amps). Systems such as lighting, stereo or intercom can be attached to the OWL

Touch and turned on and off either manually or with the schedule.

Features

•

Home screen provides the ability to choose Manual or by Schedule run mode for the

equipment and includes a Master Shutdown button.

•

Manual mode allows the user to turn on or off each individual type of device, similar to a

standard remote switch panel.

•

Schedule mode automatically turns on or off all devices by a saved user defined weekly

schedule.

•

Master Shutdown turns off the entire utility room when activated. Simply push this button and

your utility room stays off until either the manual or Schedule mode is selected.

•

OWL Touch models are available with either a four, eight or sixteen port OWL Hub device.

•

Entire configuration from device, to hub, to OWL is easily connected with cat 6 shielded

cables.

If an Interface Control is included in the system the dip switch settings will need to be selected

to tell the OWL system what type of device is being controlled. Remove the four screws

holding the front cover on the Interface Control. The dip switch selector has two switches that

can be configured for AIR, VAC, WATER or AUX.

Owl Interface Control PCB Board

Follow the position settings printed on the circuit board to set the device to the appropriate

setting. Reinstall the cover. Connect the two-pin "RLY" terminals to the circuit that controls the

on/off functionality of the device being controlled.

•

Power up all equipment being controlled by the OWL System so that they are in a stand-by

non-running state. The LCD screen on RAMVAC compressors and vacuum units should light

up. Each vacuum or compressor should display "Local Standby" on the C2 or S2 Control LCD

screen. Also ensure the screen is illuminated on the OWL Touch Display in the office area.

The system is now ready to be programmed.

BASELINE PROGRAMMING

•

Once all equipment has been connected and powered on, remove the front cover from the

OWL Hub. Locate the grey "Baseline" button on the circuit board. This is the only button on the

Hub circuit board.

Owl Hub PCB Board

Press and hold Baseline button for

10 seconds

. All equipment is now ready to be operated by

the OWL Touch system. All C2 and S2 screens should display "OWL Stand-by".

•

IMPORTANT

All air compressors are to be connected to the same air piping network and

should not be isolated pneumatically. Compressors controlled by the Owl Touch system will

run simultaneously to maintain a common system air pressure.

Setup for Multiple Vacuum Systems

The following procedure is used to set the “Low Vacuum Set Point” for systems with more than one
RAMVAC power unit. The OWL uses this parameter to automatically turn on more power units when
vacuum level drops below the set level. When vacuum level is higher than the “Low Vacuum Set
Point”, the OWL system runs only one power unit to conserve power and optimize runtime.

•

IMPORTANT:

Verify that all vacuum devices inside the clinic are closed and that no vacuum

will be used during the following setup procedure.

•

From the home screen select “Manual” in the blue “Run Mode” box.

•

Select the grey “Vac Off” button which will turn blue and then display “Vac On”. One or more

vacuum units should now be running.

Notice the number of units currently running on the bottom of the screen. If more than 1 unit is

running, use the "-" button to adjust the “Low Set point” value so that it is several inches Hg
lower than the Current Vacuum level and then select “Save”.

•

IMPORTANT

: Verify the number of units now running is 1.

•

After verifying that only 1 unit is running, use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the "Low Set

point" to 1” Hg less than the “Current Vacuum” level. For example if the “Current Vacuum”
level is 8.5” Hg, the low set point value should be 7.5” Hg.

•

Select “Save” and then “Back” to return to the “System Setup” screen. Select “Home”.

OWL Programming is now complete.

OWL SYSTEM OPERATION

Two “Run Modes” are available from the OWL Touch “Home Screen”. The system can be operated in
either “Manual” or “By Schedule” modes to turn on connected equipment.

MANUAL MODE

This mode allows connected equipment to be turned off and on using the four ON/OFF buttons
directly above the run mode box. These buttons are comparable to traditional wall panel push buttons
that simply turn equipment on or off.

BY SCHEDULE

Select this mode to have all connected equipment turn on and off automatically per the weekly
schedule that was programmed earlier in this procedure.

MASTER SHUTDOWN

When “Master Shutdown” is selected the button will turn red which indicates the system is off and will
not run according to the Schedule.  Devices also cannot be operated using the on/off buttons as
when in manual mode.  All RAMVAC vacuum pumps and compressors will remain in stand-by until
one of the two run modes is activated.

Note this is not a safety interlock.

See vacuum unit and/or

compressor user manual for guidelines on electrical and pneumatic isolation for maintenance
procedures.
