General
These instructions explain the operation, installation
and troubleshooting of the MD4000 Series controller.
All internal wiring is complete. Only attach low
voltage eld wiring to designated terminal strips.
The MD4000 is for use with units with economizers.
Each unit should be sized to handle the total load of the
structure if 100% redundancy is required.
The MD4000 controller is suitable for both 50 and 60
HZ operation. See Controller Programmable Features
and Default Settings.
theOrY OF OPeratIOn
The controller is used to control two wall mount air
conditioners from one control system. It provides total
redundancy for the structure and equal wear on both
units. It must be used with units with economizers and
both units be equipped alike.

mOuntInG the cOntrOller
Included in the controller carton is the controller and
installation instructions.
The controller should be installed on a vertical wall
approximately four (4) feet above the oor-away from drafts &
outside doors or windows. Four (4) mounting holes are provided
for mounting to the wall and 7/8" holes for conduit connections
are provided in both the base, sides & top of the controller.
If the differential is greater than 12F then the controller
will check to determine the on-board sensor is reading a
temperature that is between the SP (set-point) plus 12F
and the SP minus the DB (dead-band) minus 12F. If it is
the on-board sensor will become the valid sensor reading
and the controller will ignore the local sensor reading. If
it is not then the controller will still use the local sensor
reading. This is to add additional level of operational
capability in the rare event the local sensor fails. If the
controller is operating in this mode it is indicated by the
lower left decimal point ashing in the display. Note: for
purposes of testing when the local sensor is manually
driven higher or lower by applying warm or cool water
to the probe the on-board sensor is inhibited for the rst
30-minutes following power up, or when power is cycled
off and back on.
The controller is designed to accept 1 or 2 additional
sensors and those have 25-foot leads. The Bard part
number for the optional sensor with 25-foot leads is
8612-023. These can be installed as required in the
structure to address hot spots, barriers to airow, etc.
It is recommended that the sensor lead wires be installed
in conduit for protective purposes.
The highest reading of any connected sensor will be
used for high temperature alarm and the lowest reading
sensor will be used for low temperature alarm.
Note: All sensors are polarity sensitive. the copper
lead must connect to terminal CU, and the silver
lead to AG. Sensors are solid state, not RtD. Use
only sensors supplied by Bard. Sensor leads can be
extended up to 200 feet. Use 18-gauge twisted pair
with soldered connections.
temPerature sensOr lOGIc
The standard local (LSEn) sensor monitors the
temperature at the controller location. If this is the only
sensor connected, it will control the temperature read-out,
the space (building) temperature, and also be used for
Low and High Temperature alarm functions.
If one or more REMOtE sensors are installed and
connected (Rem 1 or Rem 2), the temperature read-out
will display and the building will be controlled to an
average of all connected sensors. If there is more than
10F difference from the highest to the lowest connected
sensor, the actual control will be governed by the hottest
sensor for cooling and the coldest sensor for heating.
If multiple temperature sensors are used, the High and
Low temperature alarms will be governed by the average
of the connected sensors.
temPerature sensOrs
The standard (local) temperature sensor has 12" leads and
comes installed from the factory.
A secondary sensor is located internally on the main
controller board and serves as a reference and back-up
sensor to the local sensor. Any differential of +/- 12F
between the on-board and local sensor will cause the
controller to use the local sensor as its point of reference.

Alarm relays can be wired for NO (close on alarm) or NC (open on alarm) strategy. Alarm relays can be used individually if
there are enough available building alarm points, or can be arranged into smaller groups or even a single group so that all
alarm capabilities can be utilized. When multiple alarms are grouped together and issued as a single alarm there will be no
off-site indication of which specic problem may have occurred, only that one of the alarms in the group has been triggered.
The individual alarm problem will be displayed on the LED display on face of the controller.

The MD4000 is powered from the air conditioners that
it is controlling, 24 VAC (18-32V) low voltage only.
Circuitry in the MD4000 isolates the power supplies of
the two air conditioners so that no back feeds or phasing
problems can occur. Additionally, if one air conditioner
loses power, the MD4000 and the other air conditioner
are unaffected and will continue to operate normally.
Connect the low voltage eld wiring from each unit
per the low voltage eld wiring diagrams in Section on
“Controller Wiring”. NOTE: Maximum of 18-gauge
control wiring should be used. Using heavier gauge
wiring can create excessive stress on the control board
as door is opened and closed. Create a wiring loop so
the door can open and close without stressing terminal
blocks.
cOntrOller GrOunDInG
A reliable earth ground must be connected in addition
to any grounding from conduit. Grounding lugs are
supplied for this purpose.
cOntrOller POWer-uP
Whenever power is rst applied to the controller, there
is a twenty (20) second time-delay prior to any function
(other than display) becoming active. This time-delay
is in effect if the controller On/Off button is used when
24VAC from air conditioners is present, and also if
controller is in “ON” position and 24VAC from air
conditioners is removed and then restored.
Manual 2100-574

FIre suPPressIOn cIrcuIt
To disable the MD4000 and shut down both air
conditioners, terminals F1 and F2 may be used. The F1
and F2 terminals must be jumpered together for normal
operation. A normally closed (nc) set of dry contacts
may be connected across the terminals and the factory
jumper removed for use with a eld-installed re
suppression system. The contacts must open if a re is
detected. See appropriate connection diagram - Figures
1, 2 or 3 for this connection. Contacts should be rated
for pilot duty operation at 2 amp 24VAC minimum.
Shielded wire (22-gauge minimum) must be used, and
the shield must be grounded to the controller enclosure.
staGInG DelaY PerIODs
The following delays are built in for both cooling & heating:
Stage 1 – 0 seconds for blower (if not already on as
continuous)
10 seconds for cooling or heating output
Stage 2 – 10 seconds after Stage 1 for blower
10 additional seconds for cooling or heating
output
Stage 3 – 10 seconds after Stage 2
Stage 4 – 10 seconds after Stage 3
Note: For cooling Stages 1 and 2, the stage LED will
blink for 10 seconds while the cooling output is delayed
after that stage is called for. There is also a delay after
the stage is satised, and after the LED stops blinking,
the stage will turn off. There is a minimum 10-second
delay between stages 2 & 3, and 3 & 4, but no delayed
output when stage is turned on or off, and LED for
those stages will not blink.
blOWer OPeratIOn
The controller can be congured to have main HVAC
blowers cycle on and off on demand; have all blowers
run continuously; or have the lead unit blower run
continuously with the lag unit blower cycling on
demand. Default setting is the blower on the lead unit
operates continuously. There is also an option to have
all blowers cycle on if one remote sensor is connected,
and a temperature difference of more than 5F between
any two sensors is observed. This helps to redistribute
the heat load within the structure and should reduce
compressor operating time.
When any of the stages are satised, the stage LED
will blink for ten (10) seconds before the stage is
actually turned off.
aDvance (sWaP) leaD/laG unIt
Feature
Pressing the Advance button for one (1) second will
cause the lead and lag units to change positions.
This may be useful during service and maintenance
procedures. This function can also be done remotely by
closing a contact across the Advance terminals on the
main board.
accelerate tImer Feature
Pressing the UP arrow button for ve (5) seconds
will activate an accelerate (speed-up) mode, causing
the normal changeover time increments of days to
be reduced to seconds. Example: 7 days becomes
7 seconds. When “ACC” displays, release button.
Whichever LED is on, indicating lead unit will blink
over for each second until the controller switches. This
is a check for the timer functionality.

cOntrOller WIrInG
The MD4000 can be used for controlling two (2) air
conditioners with economizers.
securItY (lOckInG) Feature
The MD4000 controller can be locked such that
unauthorized persons cannot make any changes
to temperature set points or any other selectable
parameters of the controller system.
The ON/OFF and Comfort buttons remain fully
active for their normal intent. The Advance/Change/
Save button remains active for the Advance feature
only, which allows the position of the lead and lag air
conditioners to be swapped (reversed). The Program
button remains partially active - allowing the review
of temperature sensor(s) actual reading of temperature,
and the current settings/choices that have been chosen.
However, no changes can be made when the controller
is locked, and if the change button is pressed when in
the Program mode, the display will come up showing
“Locd” instead of ashing the selectable choices for
that parameter. The default (DEF) reset capability is
also disabled when the controller is in locked mode.
Locking and Unlocking the MD4000 Controller:
A normally closed (NC) dry contact as part of generator
controls is required. These contacts must open when
the generator is started, and such action will signal the
MD4000 controller to this condition and disable lag
air conditioner run function and close economizers if
active.
A wire jumper is factory-installed across the Generator
Run / Economizer Shutdown terminals. To utilize
the generator run feature, remove the jumper from
Generator Run / Economizer Shutdown, and connect
the generator normally closed (NC) contacts that will
open-on-run generator condition to the Generator Run /
Economizer Shutdown terminals.
backuP Dc POWer cOnnectIOn
There are input connections available for -24VDC or
-48VDC (-20 to -56V) backup power connection. Making
this connection will maintain microprocessor operation,
front panel display, LED signaling, and alarm relay
operation during periods of commercial power outages
and when no standby generator is available. This circuit
is protected by a replaceable .5A (500mA) 250V fuse.
IMPORtANt:The shelter DC battery power must
be connected to the controller and wired as shown in
controller wiring diagrams.
1. Locking the controller requires using 3 buttons
while the controller is in the normal operating (run)
mode.
2. Press and hold the Advance/Change/Save button
and the Up and Down arrow buttons simultaneously
for 20 seconds until the display shows “Locd”.
3. To unlock the controller, press the Change, Up and
Down arrow buttons simultaneously for 20 seconds
until the display reads “uLoc”.
GeneratOr run / ecOnOmIzer
shutDOWn Feature
If desired, the MD4000 controller can be signaled
from a standby generator system to lockout (disable
operation of the) lag air conditioning system and close
economizers if active. This is sometimes mandated if
the generator size is not sufcient to handle the building
load (amperage) and that of both air conditioning
systems.
The backup DC power connection is polarity
sensitive. If polarity is reversed, the controller will
not function on backup power, no display and no
alarm functions will be evident.
Upon failure of either economizer to open on command
or close on command, the Economizer Failure Alarm
will open normally closed contacts to signal the
failure. To utilize this feature, terminals 8 & 9 must be
connected to the shelter alarm panel.
A normally closed economizer fail alarm is available on
terminals 8 & 9 of the Unit 1 & 2 terminal blocks.
DIrtY FIlter alarm
A normally closed dirty lter alarm is available on
terminals 4 & 5 of the Unit 1 & 2 terminal blocks.
2-cOmPressOr run alarm
If both compressors are running at the same time, the
2-Compressor Run Alarm will open indicating this
condition.
Note: the alarm LeD display board is shipped
uninstalled to protect it from possible damage during
installation of the wiring to main controller board and/
or the alarm board. It is polarity sensitive and is keyed
so it can only be installed in correct position.
alarm WIrInG
Alarm relays can be wired for NO (close on alarm) or
NC (open on alarm) strategy.
Alarm relays can be used individually if there are
enough available building alarm points, or can be
arranged into smaller groups or even a single group so
that all alarm capabilities can be utilized.
When multiple alarms are grouped together and issued
as a single alarm, there will no off-site indication of
which specic problem may have occurred, only that
one of the alarms in the group has been triggered. The
individual alarm problem will be shown on the LED
display on the face of the controller.
Note: All alarm and output relays are Form C (SPDT)
dry contacts rated 1A @ 24 VAC.
Note: All alarm relay outputs have 10-second delay in
acutally issuing to protect against nuisance alarm signals.
The Power Loss 1, Power Loss 2 and controller alarm
relays are all “reverse actuated”, which means they
are continuously energized (the NO contact is closed)
and switched to NC position upon alarm condition.
Therefore, it is important to closely follow the alarm
board connection diagrams that follow.
Any alarm feature that is not desired can simply be
ignored (not connected).
NOtE: the LED display board can be replaced if
needed independently of the alarm board. Bard
part number is 8612-022.

Note: The LED display board is polarized and will
only t in one direction as shown. It must be fully
inserted in order for the controller to function properly.

2nD staGe cOOlInG alarm
This alarm output is available for use if desired. It is
important to note that in some installations, due to A/C
system sizing and internal heat load, that the secondary
(lag) air conditioning unit may be called upon to assist
the lead air conditioner some of the time. If this is the
case, or possibly when additional heat load is added,
using the 2nd stage cooling alarm will cause nuisance
alarm conditions.
Note: For units with 2-stage compressors, the dual
stage cooling alarm activates on cooling Stage 3
initiation. Menu Step 23, CoPr, must be set to “2” for
this to occur, otherwise alarm will activate on cooling
call Stage 2 causing nuisance alarm.
For installations where it is known that there is 100%
redundancy (one air conditioning unit can handle 100% of
the load 100% of the time) use of the 2nd Stage Cooling
Alarm is a method to issue an alarm signal that the lead
air conditioner is down (or not delivering full capacity)
and that the lag air conditioner is now operating.
reFrIGerant Pressure alarms
Air conditioners with “J” control module are equipped
with an alarm relay that is activated upon high or low
refrigerant pressure lockout conditions. Connecting
terminals 2 and 3 from the air conditioner 24V terminal
block to the matching terminals 2 and 3 on the alarm
board will allow these alarms to function.
emerGencY ventIlatIOn seQuence
For units with economizers, there are two (2)
emergency ventilation sequences designed into the
controller. Both require the -B alarm board and
connection of terminals E and F from the air conditioner
24V terminal block to the matching terminals on the
alarm board.
Note: The E and F wiring connections at the 24V
terminal block in the A/C units are different for
older style EIFM economizers than for newer style
ECONWMT economizers. Refer to the appropriate
Controller Connection diagrams - See Table 1.
Sequence one requires a refrigerant pressure alarm,
coupled with high temperature alarm condition No. 1
(HAL 1 set point). If both of these conditions occur,
the economizer in the air conditioner that issued the
refrigerant alarm will drive open to ventilate the building.
Sequence two (HAL 2 set point) is activated by high
temperature alarm No. 2, and will initiate even without
a refrigerant pressure alarm signal. Both economizers
will be activated to provide emergency ventilation.
This strategy help protect against building overheating
if air conditioner(s) are inoperative for non-pressure
related reasons (bad compressor, contactor, run
capacitor, etc.).
