UNDERSTANDING THE CYCLE CONCEPT

The Heat-Timer MPC Platinum is a microprocessor-based control designed to manage a low-pressure steam heating system. It operates a steam boiler or a two-way steam valve to provide the desired amount of heat to the building.

The MPC Platinum operates based on the CYCLE principle. Heat-Timer created this principal specically for steam heating

systems to overcome the inabilities of standard thermostatic controls to cope with the unique challenges of low-pressure steam heating. Unlike water and air systems, steam systems take time to build up a "head of steam". Moreover, once the system starts

heating up, it has momentum that takes time to dissipate. This makes it difcult to control its temperature.

Cycle length based on outdoor temperature

By monitoring the outside temperature, the MPC Platinum is able to anticipate the building heating needs. Each CYCLE period (usually 60 minutes long, but adjustable depending on the type of radiation units) consist of a Cycle-ON segment and a Cycle-OFF segment. The length of the Cycle-ON segment will vary with the outside temperature. The colder it is outside, the longer the Cycle-ON part.

The MPC Platinum constantly checks the outside temperature by means of a solid-state sensor located on the exterior of the building. At the same time, it monitors the heating system of the building by means of a heating system sensor. This heating system sensor is located where it will show that heat has reached the furthest location in the building (or the hardest to heat area). Based on this combined data, the MPC Platinum sends instructions to the heating plant to control the heat level in the building.

In addition to adjusting the length of the Cycle-ON segment, the outdoor temperature acts as a system cutoff. When the outdoor temperature rises above one of the adjustable cutoff temperatures (Two outdoor cutoffs are available. One is for the day and the other is for the night), the MPC Platinum will not call for any heat. When the outdoor temperature drops below the cutoff, the MPC Platinum will automatically begin controlling the heating cycle. Once the heating system is active, the heating system sensor will register when heat has reached throughout the building. The combined effect of these two sensors is to provide an even, comfortable level of heat throughout the building.

Sample Cold Weather Cycle

The MPC Platinum is able to maintain two different heat levels. The Day heat level is the higher level of heat. It provides comfortable temperatures when the building tenants are active. The Night heat level provides lower heat and conserves energy when the building is empty or when tenants are asleep. Both heat levels rely on the identical cycle concept, but the lower Night settings provide less heat given the same outdoor temperature.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

• The MPC Platinum activates the steam source when the outside temperature falls below the outdoor sensor cutoff (factory set at

55°F for Day and 40°F for Night, but fully adjustable).

• The MPC Platinum will continue to call for heat, keeping the steam source active, until the heating system sensor reaches its

adjustable Set Point. This indicates that steam has gotten entirely through the system, or that "heat is established".

• Once "heat is established", the Cycle-ON segment of the cycle will begin.

• During the Cycle-ON period, the MPC Platinum will keep the steam source activated. The length of the ON part of the cycle

is dependent on the outdoor temperature, the Day/Night setting, and several user selectable adjustments that can be tuned to the

specic heat loss characteristics of the building.

• Once the Cycle-ON part has ended, the Cycle-OFF part of the cycle will begin. The MPC Platinum will turn off the boiler or

close the steam valve for the remainder of this cycle.

• When the Cycle-OFF part is over, the MPC Platinum will once again activate the steam source unless either the outside

temperature has risen above the cuttoff, or the thermal lockout is active.

• With the thermal lockout, the heating system sensor temperature must fall below the Set Point through an adjustable differential

before the heating source can be reactivated. This allows residual heat in the pipes to continue to heat the building. Once the

pipes have cooled sufciently, a new cycle can begin.

• However, if the MPC Platinum is an Internet capable control and space sensors are installed, the control checks for Space Lockout

before staring another cycle.

CYCLE TIMELINE

HT# 059085-00 F

• During a heating cycle, the control switches between the different cycle states. The states are divided into groups.

• During any of the operational states, the control has the output relays energized. And during the energy saving states, the control has the output relays de-energized.

• An Internet control Cycle Timeline is viewable on the History tab of the ICMS site. They are part of the Stock History.

• State Groups are divided into either Boiler-On or Boiler-Off. The Boiler-On groups are represented by the reddish background.

They are graphed on the upper portion of the Cycle-Timeline Internet history graph. The Boiler-Off groups are graphed on the bottom portion of the graph and has a bluish background.

• These Internet graphs help troubleshoot and ne tune the control operation.

TYPICAL STEAM HEAT CONFIGURATION

The MPC Platinum works with virtually any non-vacuum steam heated system. The MPC Platinum can control a boiler directly to

create steam. For systems where a central plant provides steam, the MPC Platinum opens or closes a motorized valve to allow or

prevent steam from entering the heating system. The MPC Platinum also works with one or two-pipe steam systems.

However, based upon the specic layout of the steam heating system there are several differences in locating the heating system sensor and in the output wiring to the boiler or motorized valve that the user need to observe. It is important to carefully check the

piping diagrams at the end of this manual to determine which of the following four layouts matches your heating system:

• One Pipe Steam - Motorized Valve

• Two Pipe Steam - Motorized Valve

• One Pipe Steam - Direct Burner Operation

• Two Pipe Steam - Direct Burner Operation

For subatmospheric vacuum type steam systems, see Heat-Timer SRC Platinum Control on the Heat-Timer web site (http://www.heat-timer.com).

INITIAL PROGRAM

Setting an Initial Program ease's the conguration of the MPC Platinum while giving the opportunity to utilize many of the energy

saving and comfort features. The program should consist of the following:

• Select the features your system can utilize,

• Make sure you have the right control and accessories,

• Install the Control,

• Set the System Startup,

• Set the System Settings,

• Set the Schedules

• Adjust the Day and Night Heat Adjustments and the Set Point

SELECTING THE SYSTEM FEATURES

Heat-Timer designed the MPC Platinum with low-pressure steam building heating as the primary purpose. With this in mind, the user can use many of the control features to ease, enhance, and improve the system performance. Below is a list of its major features.

Steam Outdoor Reset

• The MPC Platinum regulates the amount of steam sent to the building based on the outdoor temperature. It uses the Cycle concept

based on the Day and Night Heat Adjustment and outdoor cutoffs to regulate the heat. The colder it gets, the longer the Cycle-On runs. See "AUTO/BYPASS Switch" on page 16.

Night Setback

• Whenever the outdoor temperature falls below the Outdoor Cutoff, the MPC Platinum adjusts the Cycle-ON and Cycle-OFF ratio

to hold a constant Day or Night heat level. The Night heat level is for when the building is unoccupied or tenants are sleeping.

Day and Night Schedules

• The MPC Platinum has 4 Day and 4 Night settings for each day of the week. By setting a Schedule, Day and Night Heat

Adjustments, and Outdoor Cutoffs, you can save energy while providing comfortable heat to the building. The settings allow the MPC Platinum to reduce the length of the steam Cycle-ON portion during the night or when building is unoccupied. See "Schedules" on page 29.

HT# 059085-00 F

MPC Platinum Installation and Operation Manual

Vacation Schedule (Available with Internet Control Only)

• This feature gives the user the ability to provide a lower-than-night space target between two specied date-time combinations. This provides additional savings for schools and ofce buildings to use in long holiday periods. See "Vacation Schedule Setting"

on page 30.

Space Sensor Feedback (Available with Internet Control Only)

• For better control and much more energy saving capabilities you can add wireless or wired space sensors to the MPC Platinum to ne tune its operation and increase the system's overall efciency. When you add space sensors to the space average, the MPC Platinum checks the space average before the beginning of each cycle to determine if the building is sufciently heated. See

"Space Lockout" on page 28.

System Output

• The system output relay connects to and operates a combustion air-damper or other boiler room equipment and it will energize

whenever there is a call for the boiler. In addition, if you connect the combustion air-damper's end-switch to the Prove input

terminals, it will stop the boiler from ring if the damper is not fully open. See "Installation" on page 8.

Boost and Early Shutdown

• The boost returns the building to its Day (Normal) heat level after Night (Setback) heat level. It does it by running the burner

or valve output for a period of time that depends on the outside temperature. It offers an adjustable curve parameter to tune its

operation to the specic building. See "Boost Mode" on page 26.

• The Early Shutdown feature shifts the Day schedule to Night Setback before the last Night Time setting for that day. The Early

Shutdown varies based on Outdoor temperature (OD). The warmer the Outdoor temperature the earlier the MPC Platinum shifts to Night Setback. See "Early Shutdown Curves" on page 27.

Remote Communication

• The MPC Platinum is upgradable to Internet, BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, or MODBUS communication to allow monitoring and

controlling of all of its functions from a remote location. Only the Internet communication package allows the MPC Platinum to

accept a variety of additional sensor inputs to monitor their status and provide web, E-Mail, or text message alarms under specied

adjustable conditions.

• All non-communication MPC Platinum controls are upgradable to any of the available communication options. This, requires the

• The Upgrade Kit consist of two boards, a CPU Board and a Communication Board. The CPU Board has the control operating

software.

• All communication boards have an Ethernet socket that is used for the BACnet IP or Internet communication and a RS485 socket that is used for BACnet MS/TP or MODBUS communication.

• Both boards are mounted on the back of the Platinum control's motherboard. Thus, to install both boards you need to remove the control from the enclosure by removing 3 facing screws. Then, turn the control over to reveal its back.

• Each of the boards is mounted on a group of standoffs that must be replaced during the upgrade. See "Remote Communication Wiring" on page 14.

• Connect the communication cable from the side Knockout.

• Reinstall the Panel in the enclosure using 3 screws.

OUTDOOR SENSOR INSTALLATION

Only use the Heat-Timer sensor included with the unit (HT# 904220-00).

• Locate the sensor in the shade on the north side of the building. The sensor

should never be in direct sunlight.

• Be sure the location is away from doors, windows, exhaust fans, vents, or other

possible heat or cool sources.

• The sensor should be mounted approximately 10’ feet above ground level.

• Adhere the Outdoor Label provided to the back of the sensor base.

• Use the Enclosure Base bottom knockout for the conduit. Use the locknut to hold

the conduit and enclosure base together. Screw the cover to the base.

• Make sure to seal around the sensor enclosure and wall except from the bottom.

• The sensor wires can be extended up to 500’ using shielded 2-conductor cable

(HT# 703001-01) (#18/2). Do not connect the shield at the sensor. However, connect it at the control using the terminal marked with an “O”.

• Do not run sensor wires in conduit with line voltage wiring.

Determining the proper location for the Outdoor Sensor is very important. The MPC Platinum will

base the heat on the outdoor temperature information it receives from this location. If the sensor is in

the sun, or covered with ice, its reading will be different from the actual Outdoor temperature (OD).

HEATING SYSTEM SENSOR (HSS) INSTALLATION

• Install the sensor at one of the following locations:

 The ideal location for the HSS is on the furthest radiator in the system. This

radiator is usually the hardest to heat.

 The sensor may be located on the furthest return riser. However, the sensor

MUST be above the boiler water line (on a dry return).

• Only use the sensor provided with the control. If you are replacing an earlier Gold model Heat-Timer, it is NOT necessary to upgrade the sensor.

• Strap the HSS to the pipe using the tie-wraps provided with the outdoor sensor.

Then wrap insulation around the sensor and pipe to achieve the highest accuracy.

• The sensor wires can be extended up to 500' using a shielded 2-conductor cable

(HT# 703001-01) (#18/2).

• Do not connect the shield at the sensor. However, connect it at the control using

the terminal marked with an “O”.

• Do not run sensor wires in conduit or trough with line voltage wiring.

Using a Pressutrol instead of the HSS

• Heat-Timer MPC Platinum control requires the use of a HSS. However, if a

good location for the HSS is not possible, it is acceptable to install a Pressuretrol

Adaptor Kit (HT# 900043-00) that connects to the boiler operating pressuretrol. In this case, the system may not be as efcient as when using the HSS and the

Thermal Lockout feature will not be available..

• The MPC Platinum is equipped with a System output to operate additional equipment.

The most common use for this output is operating a combustion air-damper.

• The SYSTEM output terminals are 9 and 10. These terminals do not source any power. Wire these terminals directly to the combustion air-damper activation terminals.

• The contacts can switch a 6A resistive at 120VAC load.

• A good practice is to use the MPC Platinum's Prove input terminals to connect to the

combustion air-damper End Switch. This prevents the MPC Platinum from activating the boiler before fully opening the damper. See "Wiring The Prove" on page 12.

• The System relay energizes whenever the Output relay energizes. When the Output relay de-energizes, the System relay remains energized for the System Run-On period before de-energizing.

WIRING TO AUXILIARY CLOCK

• The MPC Platinum is equipped with an AUX CLOCK output (terminals 11 and 12). Use the output to operate additional equipment based on the Aux Schedule. A common use is to turn on and off a set of lights based on a schedule. See "Aux Relay Schedule" on page

30.

• The AUX CLOCK output terminals do not source any power. Wire the AUX CLOCK terminals directly to the equipment activation terminals if the equipment does not require any power.

• If the equipment controlled require powering, make sure that its power consumption does

not exceed the output relay rating. Otherwise, use an isolation relay.

• The Shutdown signal must be a dry contact only. DO NOT place voltage across the

SHUTDOWN terminals.

• Bring the two wires from the dry contact to the terminals marked SHUTDOWN- A3, A4.

WIRING THE PROVE

• The MPC Platinum uses the Prove input to check system operation before activating the

outputs. A good practice is to use the MPC Platinum's Prove input terminals to connect to the combustion air-damper End Switch. This prevents the MPC Platinum from activating the boiler before fully opening the damper. See "Installation" on page 8.

• If the PROVE input terminals are open, the MPC Platinum will enable only the System relay. The Burner and Motorized valve (OUTPUT) relays will be de-energized when the

PROVE input is open.

MENU TYPES

When powering up the MPC Platinum for the rst time, it will take you through an 70

second count down followed by the System Startup Settings then another 10 second boot

setup and nally end with the default screen. Once the control is mounted and wired, set

up an initial pilot program.

• Set and adjust System Startup Settings: The contractor sets these values after installing

the control for the rst time. End users should avoid changing these settings as they

will change the control operating logic. If the Startup Settings are not correct, the MPC Platinum may operate the system incorrectly.

• Set and adjust System Settings: These settings adjust the system to the specic building

characteristics. These are general settings that control the amount of heat provided. The

default settings will generally work in most applications, but adjustments should ne-

tune the performance of your system.

• Set and adjust Maintenance: Provide calibration tools for the sensors and allow a

password to be set.

• Set and adjust Schedules: Sets the Day/Night heat schedule and the Aux clock schedule.

Four pairs of Day/Night times can be set for each day of the week. In addition, the Aux relay is capable of following the Aux Schedule. It is programmable to turn on or off up to eight times per day.

• Shift: Allows you to temporarily shift from Day (higher heat level) to Night (lower

heat level) settings, or vice versa, without reprogramming the times of the Day/Night Schedule.

SENSOR TYPE

°F Fahrenheit or °C for Celsius Default: °F Fahrenheit

SELECT Settings/System Startup/.../Sensor Type

• This option allows you to change the sensors' display and all temperature settings between

Fahrenheit and celsius.

OPERATION MODE

Burner/Valve or District Steam Default: Burner/Valve

SELECT Settings/System Startup/.../ Sensor Type / Operation Mode

• In most buildings, the time required for the heating system to ll with steam depends on

several factors. For example, using direct burner operation, the time it takes to generate steam depends on the boiler off time length. With a valve, the amount of time also depends on the status of the heating plant and may additionally vary depending on the balance of the

heating zones' valve position.

• However, in cases where steam is distributed from a local power authority (district steam) or

other sources where the steam is always available at a constant pressure, the time required

to ll the heating system with steam will be relatively constant.

• If your steam source is of the later type, you may decide to select the District Steam option.

• With the District Steam option, the HSS is not used. The MPC Platinum uses a timer to

start the Cycle-ON. See "District Steam Delay" on page 25.

• Selecting the District Steam option may result in overheating and unnecessary energy

expenses as the Thermal Lockout feature will not be available.

CYCLE LENGTH

Adjustable from 10 to 240 minutes Default: 60 minutes

SELECT Settings/System Startup/.../ Sensor Type / Operation Mode / Cycle Length

• The Cycle Length is directly related to the type of radiation used. The following is Heat_

Timer recommended Cycle Length:

○ For most cast iron radiation, choose a 60-minute cycle. If the radiators are very large or

the system is oversized, choose a 90-minute cycle. ○ For convector or baseboard radiation, choose a 30-minute cycle. ○ For air handlers or blower units, choose a 20-minute cycle.

DAY AND NIGHT HEAT ADJUSTMENT

Adjustable from A through P Default: E (Day) / B ( Night)

SELECT Settings/<System Settings>/Day Heat Adjust or Night Heat Adjust

• Heat Adjustments control the duration of Cycle-On based on the outdoor temperature.

• An "A" setting gives the least duration of Cycle-On at any given outside temperature. A "P"

setting gives the longest Cycle-On.

• The MPC Platinum has two heat levels, Day and Night. The Day heat level is for when the building is occupied and people are active. The Night heat level holds a lower ambient temperature, and is for when the building is unoccupied or people are sleeping. The Day and Night Heat Adjustment are individually set.

• The length of the Cycle-ON is based on the Outdoor Cutoff temperature. Therefore, if you set both the Day and Night Heat Adjustments to the same value, you will get less heat at Night. For example, with both Heat Adjustments set to F and the factory set Cutoffs of 55°F for Day and 40°F for Night, when the outdoor temperature is 25°F the On part of the cycle will last for 15 minutes in Day, and only 7 minutes at Night.

• If the building is too cold, adjust the appropriate setting up a letter (Day Heat Adjust if it is too cold in the Day time and Night Heat Adjust if it is too cold in the Night time). For example; from F to G. Then wait at least 24 hours before evaluating the new adjustment. Otherwise, adjust it up another letter and wait an additional day for the results.

• Similarly, if the building is too warm, reduce the Heat Adjustment one letter and wait for 24 hours before making any additional adjustments.

SELECT Settings/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Sys Diff

• The System Differential is the temperature range through which the HSS must fall below

the System Set Point before another cycle can begin.

• The selected starting value for the System Differential depends on the value of the System

Set Point. The higher the System Set Point, the higher the Differential value can be set.

• As an initial setting, set the heating system to restart at approximately 125 °F. At this

temperature most of the residual heat in the radiators has dissipated, but enough heat remains to keep the ambient temperatures warm during the time it takes the MPC Platinum to establish heat.

• For example, if the System Set Point is 170°F, then set the Differential to 45°F, so the

Set Point less the Differential is 125°F. If the System Set Point is 140°F, then set the Differential to 15°F.

• If the space temperature becomes too cold between cycles, reduce the amount of the System

Differential.

• If the building is overheating, especially in mild weather, check the System Set Point. If the

System Set Point setting is correct, then increase the System Differential. See "System Set Point" on page 24.

DISTRICT STEAM DELAY

(Available in District Steam Operation Mode Only)

Adjustable from 0 to 30 minutes Default: 15 minutes

SELECT Settings/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Dist Steam Dly

• In most district steam applications, the condensed steam is not recycled back. In these

applications, use District Steam as the Operating Mode. See "Operation Mode" on page 20.

• The MPC Platinum uses this time setting to determine the beginning of the steam cycle.

• No system sensor is required in the District Steam mode.

• Since no system temperature is used, no energy saving Thermal Lockout is available.

• To nd the appropriate District Steam Delay for your building, use the following procedure:

1. Turn the heating system off and wait until the radiators are cool.

2. Have another person located at the furthest radiator (in terms of longest piping distance)

or to a radiator in a location known to get heat last.

3. Manually, switch the control to Bypass. At the same time start to count the time.

4. Wait until the radiator begins to get warm. Then record the amount of elapsed time.

5. Set the District Steam Delay to the time noted in Step 4.

6. Switch the control back to Auto operation.

BOOST MODE

Disabled, Manual, Vari, Vari+ESD Default: Vari

SELECT Settings/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Boost

• The Boost quickly returns the building to comfortable ambient temperatures after the cooler Night period.

• The MPC Platinum accomplishes this by either running the boiler on its limits or opening the steam valve for a given Boost time based on the #1 Day schedule. See "Schedules" on page 29.

• During the Boost heat period, the MPC Platinum does not run cycles. The prolonged heat period allows ambient temperatures to rise rapidly.

• To disable the Boost for all the days, select Disable as the option.

• #1 Day to **:** and use

the #2 Day program for any Day settings. See "Schedules" on page 29.

• There are three types of Boost:

1. Manual - This Boost begins at the #1 Day time, and lasts for a selected number of

minutes. The Manual Boost time is adjustable from 0 to 120 minutes. The Manual Boost time does not adjust with outside temperature.

2. Vari - This boost begins earlier than the #1 Day time. The number of minutes before the

#1 Day time depends on the outside temperature and the Boost Adjustment Curve. A Vari Boost curve of 0.1 gives the shortest Boost period, and a curve of 6.4 gives the longest Boost period. The Vari Boost has a built in self-adjusting Warm-up time. The Warm-up time accounts for the time length the heat source needs to reach the System Set Point. The MPC Platinum adds the Warm-up to the Boost time.

3. Vari +ESD (Early ShutDown) - This Boost is typically only used in commercial or other

buildings where the building is unoccupied during the Night times. It follows the Vari Boost described above. In addition, the MPC Platinum switches to the Night mode earlier than the last Night setting for that day of the week. The warmer it is outside, the earlier the MPC Platinum shifts to Night based on the Boost Adjustment Curve. See "Early Shutdown Curves" on page 27.

• The Early Shutdown curve setting follows the Vari Boost setting. It cannot be set separately from the Vari Boost curve.

• Vari Boost time increases with colder outdoor temperatures.

• The Warm-up period (below 0 minutes) represents a variable period of up to 45 minutes

during which time the heating system is warmed up prior to the Boost.

• The MPC Platinum determines the number of based on a rolling average of its past experiences establishing heat for Vari Boost.

• The total Vari Boost time is equal to the time determined by the outdoor temperature and the Boost curve plus the Warm-up time.

• The use of Internet controls adds space sensor installation capability. When Space Average reaches the Day Space Target while the Space Lockout is enabled, the Vari Boost ends. However, if the Space Average is below the Day Space Target before the #1 Day time, the Vari Boost may continue for up to an additional hour after the #1 Day setting.

SELECT Settings/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Boost/ Vari+ESD

• Early Shutdown (ESD) is calculated based on the latest night schedule for that day. It allows the control to switch to the Night setting earlier than the latest night schedule. This normally is useful in buildings where heat loss is minimal.

• The same curve setting that determines the Vari Boost also determine the Early Shutdown operation, but in reverse. The curves cannot be set separately.

• Early Shutdown time decreases with colder outdoor temperatures.

• The maximum time spans for the Early Shutdown are half as long as the Vari Boost - ranging from 0 to 90 minutes instead of

0 to 180 minutes (compare vertical axis of the two graphs).

• If space sensors are available and the Space Lockout is set to enable, the ESD message may end sooner if the Space Average reaches the Night Space Target. From that time,, the MPC Platinum will continue using the Night settings.

WARM-UP ENABLE AND LEARN

• The Warm-up Enable and Learn Features are only available through the Internet when the

Vari Boost or Vari+ESD Boost is set to enable.

• Warm-up adds additional time to the calculated Vari-Boost period to account for the time it takes to establish heat. By default, it starts 15 minutes before the Vari Boost.

• If Learn is set to enable, the control will measure the Boost establishing heat time and then use it as the Warm-up time before the next day Vari-Boost.

• Heat-Timer recommends setting the Warm-up to Enable and the Warm-up Learn to Yes.

• The Sys Run-On setting controls the length of time the System relay remains energized after the Output relays turn off.

• If the System output is used to control a combustion-air damper, the run-on allows the damper to bring more fresh air to the room for the next boiler initiation.

THERMAL LOCKOUT

(Not Available in District Steam)

On, Off Default: On

SELECT Settings/<System Settings>/<More Settings>/Thermal Lockout

• The Thermal Lockout is an energy saving feature that prevents a cycle from starting when the heating system is hot.

• When a cycle is over, the pipes and radiators may still be very warm. Therefore, they continue to heat the ambient air. If more steam is added during that time, the ambient space will begin to overheat. The Thermal Lockout prevents this from occurring as it allows the system pipe temperatures to fall through the adjustable System Differential before reactivating the heat source.

• The Thermal Lockout should be set to On unless the system dissipates heat very quickly, as might occur with air handling units.

SPACE LOCKOUT

• The Vari-Boost also uses the Day Space Target. During the Vari Boost, the MPC Platinum may remain in Boost until the space average reaches the Day Space Target or exceeds the maximum Boost time limit. See "Boost Mode" on page 26.

• The Early Shutdown (ESD) also uses the Night Space Target. That is, during the Early Shutdown while the Space Average temperature is dropping to the Night Space Target, the Fast Cool Down message keeps displaying until the Space Average reaches the Night Space Target. At this time, the MPC Platinum resumes using the Night schedule settings.

• The MPC Platinum has two levels of heat. The Day Time level is for an occupied building

where people are active. The Night Time (Setback) level is for an unoccupied building or when people are asleep.

• The MPC Platinum can have up to four Day periods and four Night periods for each day

of the week. The MPC Platinum will show which period number on the third line of the display. See "Display Messages" on page 17.

• Every time the MPC Platinum updates the clock time, it checks the Day/Night program. If there is a matching Day/Night time programmed, it sets the heat level accordingly;

otherwise, the heat level is not changed. This means there is no need to program every day of the week.

• The rst setting of each day, #1 Day, is important as it starts the Boost period. The Boost

quickly returns the building to the Day temperature from the lower Night temperatures. See "Boost Mode" on page 26.

• The latest Night setting of each day is also important. The Early Shutdown uses this time to

calculate the Early Shutdown.

• Day and Night times do not need to be sequential. They can be in any order.

• If an ofce building is unoccupied all weekend, simply set the last programmed #4 setting

• The Shift option will immediately change the status of the MPC Platinum from Day to

Night, or Night to Day, without changing the program schedule.

• By selecting Night or Day, the shift is permanent until the clock advances to the next setting on the schedule. For instance, if you shift the control into Night on Friday afternoon at 3 pm, and the next Day setting is not until Monday at 6 am, the control will remain in Night until Monday morning at 6 am.

• The Extend Day Sched shifts from Night into Day. The shift only lasts a predetermined and adjustable period. This period is set using the Extend Day Time. Use this shift when a short extension of the Day heat level is required. The MPC Platinum will automatically return to Night after the time has elapsed.

• The Extend Day option is similar to the Extend Day Sched in that it provides an additional Day heat time. The only difference is that it can be set in the Day period. When the control observes an upcoming Night period, it starts the Extended Day period.

• Boiler and Sensor status, values, and settings. Provides “Live” status and editing capability of Platinum control settings and values

from virtually anywhere using a computer with Internet access.

• Space Temperatures. Gives accurate feed back of heating levels in different parts of the building.

• Alarms. Multiple alarms can be set for specic conditions either based on control operation or sensor status. Each alarm can be congured to send a message through a variety of means (web control status, e-mail, and cellular text messages).

• Vari-Boost Enhancements. With Space Lockout activated, Boost can end sooner if the Space Average reached the Day Target. In

addition, Boost can extend up to an hour if the Space Average did not reach the target during the Boost period.

• Fast Cool Down. With Space Lockout set to Enable, the Fast Cool Down turns the outputs off to cool the building down faster

when switching from Day to Night (Setback) until the Night Target is reached.

• Water Meter Inputs. The MPC Platinum is designed to connect to a variety of sensors including a water meter sensor. Thus

providing water consumption monitoring. This can be used to detect boiler feed or building water leaks.

• Oil Tank Levels. Platinum controls can be connected to Oil Tank Level Monitor to send an alarm when low levels are reached or

measure daily oil consumption.

• Boiler and Cycle Time-lines. Multiple history graphs showing boiler operation based on the input as well as the control logic.

• History. Displays a graphical history of the sensor readings based on predetermined intervals.

• Data Export. Send spreadsheet reports of history of the sensor readings and control settings to an e-mail based on predetermined

intervals.

When connecting an Internet control, make sure of the following:

● Control must have a full time Internet access,

● The rewall must forward specic inbound port trafc to the control IP address.

● The Firewall must allow outgoing trafc on port 4133 and incoming trafc on ports 8082 - 8114,

MPC Platinum Notes

 If specied, divide a read value by this to obtain the actual value – Multiply desired value by this before writing.  For variables that specify them, if a read value is a special value (32000 - 32005), do not divide by ‘MULT'.  Strings are packed 2 characters per register, most signicant byte rst.  Multi-register values are stored big endian (rst register x 65536 + second register = value).

 All variables are stored as ‘Holding Registers’. MODBUS functions :

• ‘Read Holding Registers’ (function code 3),

• ‘Write Single Register' (function code 6),

• and ‘Write Multiple Registers’ (function code 16) are supported.

 All variables with multiple UOM’s depend upon the value of ‘Input Mode’ to determine which to use.  Use 'District Steam Delay' when 'Operating Mode' is set to District Steam. Use 'System Setpoint',

'System Differential' and 'Thermal Lockout Enable' when 'Operation Mode' is set to Burner/valve.

 Use 'Vari-Boost Adjustment' when 'Boost Mode' is set to Vari-Day or Vari+ESD. Use

TROUBLESHOOTING

Sensor Inputs

Display shows Sensor OPEN or SHORT

• When any sensor reads

OPEN, check if the sensor wires are continuous to the MPC Platinum.

Use an Ohm meter to measure the resistance between the sensor wires when they are not connected to the control. If the readings are out of the Temperature Sensor Chart range, follow the procedure for Display Shows Incorrect Temperature.

• When in SHORT, remove the wires from the sensor terminals. The display should change to read OPEN. If it does not, the MPC Platinum may be damaged.

Display shows an Incorrect Temperature

Remove the wires from the sensor terminals. The display should change to read does not, the MPC Platinum may be damaged. Using a multi-meter set to measure resistance, take an ohm reading across the detached sensor wires. The ohm reading should correspond to the Temperature Sensor Table. If it does not, the sensor may be damaged and needs to be replaced. Note that sensors are not designed to be placed in the water or steam. A well (HT# 904011-00) or a strap-on sensor (HT# 904220-00) must be used.

Control Operation

Too Much Heat

Check if the control has any of the following conditions:

• BypassMode- The MPC Platinum will only manage the boiler or valve if the Bypass switch is set to Auto. See "AUTO/BYPASS Switch" on page 16.

• Day/NightHeatAdjustment- If the overheating occurs only during day hours, decrease the Day Heat Adjustments. If the overheating occurs only during night hours, decrease the Night Heat Adjustments. See "Day and Night Heat Adjustment" on page 23.

• BoostSettings- If the excess heat is only during the morning, then check the Boost settings. You

may need to reduce the Vari Boost curve. If the control is set to Manual Boost, reduce the Manual Boost Time or switch to Vari Boost as Manual Boost is not affected by the weather. See "Boost

Mode" on page 26.

• OutdoorCutoffSettings- If the Outdoor Cutoff setting is too high during mild weather, the building may over-heat. Also, if the Outdoor Cutoffs are set too high during colder weather, the result may be longer Cycle-ON periods. See "Day and Night Outdoor Cutoff" on page 24.

• SystemSetPoint- If the control takes a long time to establish heat, it will overheat the building. Re-adjust the set point correctly. See "System Set Point" on page 24.

• ThermalLockout- If the Thermal Lockout is disabled, the control may start another cycle when there is additional energy in the system. See "Thermal Lockout" on page 28.

• SpaceLockout- If the Space Lockout is disabled or no space sensor are available, the control

may start another cycle when the space is already satised. See "Space Lockout" on page 28.

Too Little Heat

Check if the control has any of the following conditions:

• Day/NightSchedule- If reduced heat occurs only during specic hours, check the Day/Night

Schedule. Make sure to view all the schedule settings for each of the week days. See "Schedules" on page 29..

• Day/Night Heat Adjustment - You may need to increase the Heat Adjustment for either the Day or the Night, depending on the low-heat period. See "Day and Night Heat Adjustment" on page 23.

• OutdoorCutoffSettings- If the Outdoor Cutoff setting is too low, the building may not get any heat during mild weather. Also, if the Outdoor Cutoffs are set too low during mild weather, the result may be shorter Cycle-ON periods. See "Day and Night Outdoor Cutoff" on page 24.

• BoostSettings- If the excess heat was only during the morning, then check the Boost settings.

You may need to reduce the Vari Boost curve. If the control is set to Manual Boost, change to Vari

Boost as Manual Boost is not affected by the weather. See "Boost Mode" on page 26.

• SystemSetPoint- If the control establishs heat in a short time, the return may not be hot enough to heat the building. Re-adjust the set point correctly. See "System Set Point" on page 24.
