The MicroTech II Unit Vent Controller (UVC) is a self-contained device that is capable of
complete, stand-alone operation. Information in the controller can be displayed and modified
by using the keypad/display (local user interface). The following sections describe how to use
the keypad/display.
Note – Many UVC parameters are accessible both through the keypad/display and the network
interface. The shared keypad/display and the network interface variables have a “lastchange-wins” relationship.
Using the Keypad/Display
The keypad/display shown in Figure 1 is provided with all MicroTech II Applied Unit
Ventilator unit controllers. With the keypad/display, operating conditions, system alarms, and
control parameters can be monitored. Set points and other parameters also can be modified.

Display Format
The keypad/display’s 2-digit, 7-segment display normally shows the effective heating or
cooling temperature set point (Effective Set Point Output). The display also is used to view
and modify UVC parameters as explained in the following sections.
Note – When the UVC is in the OFF mode, the effective heating set point appears in the display.
All other LEDs are switched off.
Keypad Functions
Security Levels
The keypad/display provides a 4-level password security feature that can be used to restrict
access. The available security levels are shown in Table 6.
Note – All unit ventilator controllers ship with the lowest security (level 0) enabled. To change
security levels, see Figure 2. Once a security level is changed, the keypad/display
remains at that security level until the next time it is changed.
Why can’t I use the MODE or FAN key or adjust Set Point Offset?
Most likely this is due to the security feature being used. If the security feature is set higher
than level 0, then some keypad/display functionality is locked out. To ensure this is not the
problem, enter the level 0 password then try to use the keypad/display again.

Getting Started
ON/STOP Key and LED
Use the ON/STOP key to toggle the UVC between OFF mode and running (Application Mode
Input). The ON/STOP LED is off when the UVC is in the OFF mode.
Note – When the UVC is in the OFF mode, the effective heating set point appears in the display.
All other LEDs are switched off.
– The UVC archives each change to the keypad/display FAN and MODE keys. When the
ON/STOP key is used to bring the unit out of OFF mode, the UVC implements the last
active fan and unit modes.
– Each time the UVC power cycles, the UVC is in the auto fan and auto unit modes when
power is returned.
WARNING
Off mode is a “stop” state for the unit ventilator. It is not a “power
off” state. Power may still be provided to the unit.
FAN Key
Use the F AN key to toggle through each of the fan speeds (Fan Speed Command Input): Auto,
Low, Medium, and High.
MODE Key
Use the MODE key to toggle through the keypad/display accessible unit modes (Heat/Cool
Mode Input): Auto, Heat, Cool, and Fan Only.
Arrow Keys
Use the arrow keys to scroll between parameters and to adjust parameters.
FUNC Key
Use the Func key to view the actual space temperature or to confirm selection and changes to
user-adjustable parameters.

Viewing Actual Indoor Air Temperature (IAT)
Normally, the effective set point temperature appears on the keypad/display. You also can use
the keypad/display to view the indoor air temperature (IAT). See Figure 3.
Note – When the actual indoor air temperature (Effective Space Temp Output) equals the
effective set point temperature (Effective Set Point Output), you there is no change to the
keypad/display when you view space temperature.

Changing Set Points
The keypad/display can be used to make a +/–5°F (+/–3°C) offset adjustment to the effective
temperature set point. See Figure 4. Also see “Space Temperature Set Points” on page 26 to
learn more about temperature set points.

Note – The set point offset clears whenever UVC power is cycled. When you change the set point
offset after a power cycle, or for the very first time, this cleared value shows as the highest
allowed value (5°F/3°C) but is not an actual offset value.
– When using the +/–3°F (+/–1.7°C) remote wall sensor, any set point offset adjustment
made at the keypad/display causes the UVC to override and ignore the remote wall
sensor set point adjustment knob. To use the remote wall sensor set point adjustment
knob after you changed the set point offset on the keypad/display, clear the keypad/
display set point offset by cycling UVC power.
– When using the 55°F to 85°F remote wall sensor, the UVC ignores any LUI set point offset
adjustments.
Menu Reference
The keypad/display menu eases troubleshooting and simplifies UVC configuration. The user
can access the most common parameters and system status values without a PC or network
interface.
The keypad/display menu is accessed via an unmarked, hidden key. This hidden key is located
approximately behind the letter “h” in the MicroTech II logo on the keypad/display face.
The keypad/display menu consists of two levels. The first level is the keypad/display Menu
Item List containing alphanumeric characters representing each parameter. The second level is
where the parameter’s value is viewed and adjusted if the parameter is adjustable. After 15seconds, an inactivity timer automatically causes the display to back out of the menu levels,
returning to the effective set point display.

Description of Operation
Description of Operation
State Programming
The MicroTech II UVC takes advantage of “state” machine programming to define and
control unit ventilator operation. “State” defines specific states or modes of operation for each
process within the unit ventilator (e.g., heating, cooling, etc.) and contain the specific logic for
each state. This eliminates some of the most common problems associated with control
sequences such as the possibility of simultaneous heating and cooling, rapid cycling, etc.
State machine programming, and the unique nature of state diagrams, can be easily used to
describe operation. It can simplify sequence verification during unit commissioning, as well as
simplify troubleshooting. With the unique combination of state machine programming and the
keypad/display’s ability to allow a technician to easily determine the active UVC state,
troubleshooting the UVC can be very simple.
The state diagrams presented in the following sections consist of several “elements” including
super states, states, conditional jumps (also called transitions) and transition points. Super
states are used as a means to group two or more related states into a single control function
such as cooling, or heating, etc. States are where all the actual work takes place, within each
state the UVC enables PI-loops and other logic sequences required to control unit ventilator
operation within that particular state, while other functions and PI-loops not needed durin g
that state may be disabled. Conditional jumps, or transitions, are the logic paths used by the
UVC to determine which state should be made active, these are the “questions” the UVC
continually considers. The transition point is simply a point through which a number of
conditional jumps meet. Think of it as a point where a number of questions must be
considered from which the UVC then determines which path is followed and which state is
then made active.
The UVC states and super states are used to define the “normal” unit modes, such as Off,
Night Purge, Fan Only, Emergency Heat, Auto, Cool, and Heat. The UVC also supports
several “special purpose” unit modes such as Purge, Pressurize, De-pressurize, and Shutdown,
which can be forced via a network connection and override typical UVC operation.
Note – Not all states or modes are available for all UV configurations, and some states (such as
Active Dehum) are optional.
– In the state descriptions below the terms, saturated high and saturated low, indicate that
the heating or cooling function being described has reached 100% or 0%, respectively.

UVC Unit Modes
The UVC provides several “normal” modes of unit operation. These include: Off, Night
Purge, Fan Only, Cool, Emergency Heat, Auto, Heat, and Cool.
Normal UVC modes can contain a single state or several states depending upon the
functionality required for each particular mode. Each UVC state is assigned a number, which
can be very helpful when trying to understand which state is currently active within the UVC.
To view the current UVC state number, use the keypad/display.

WARNING
Off mode is a “stop” state for the unit ventilator. It is not a “power
off” state. Power may still be provided to the unit.
OFF Mode (State 9)
Off mode is provided so that the UVC can be forced into a powered OFF condition. OFF mode
is a “stop” state for the unit ventilator; it is not a power off state. OFF mode consists of a
single UVC state: OFF [9].
When OFF mode becomes active, the UVC stops all normal heating, cooling, and ventilatio n
(OA damper is closed), and fan operation ends. The UVC continues to monitor space
conditions, indicate faults, and provide network communications (if connected to a network)
in the OFF mode while power is maintained to the unit.
While in OFF mode, the UVC does not maintain DA temperatures. If the space temperature
drops below EHS while in the OFF mode, the UVC is forced into the Emergency Heat mode
(see “Emergency Heat Mode (Super State)” on page 16).
The space lighting output continues to operate based upon the current occupancy mode.
Note – Special purpose unit modes such as Purge, Pressurize, and De-pressurize can force the
UVC to perform “special” functions during which the display appears to be in the OFF
mode.

Night Purge Mode (State 8)
Night Purge mode is provided as a means to more easily and quickly ventilate a space. Night
purge can be useful in helping to remove odor build up at the end of each day, or after
cleaning, painting, or other odor generating operations occur within the space. Night Purge
mode consists of a single UVC state: Night Purge [8].
Night Purge is a full ventilation with exhaust mode, during which room comfort is likely to be
compromised. Therefore, McQuay strongly recommends using Night Purge only when the
space is unoccupied.
When Night Purge mode becomes active, the UVC stops all normal heating and cooling. Since
any new energy used to treat the incoming air would be wasted in the purge process. In the
Night Purge mode, the space fan is set to high speed, the OA damper is set to 100% open, and
the Exhaust Fan binary output (see “External Binary Outputs” on page 38) is set to ON. If the
UVC is not set to another mode within 1 hour (fixed), the UVC automatically switches to the
Fan Only mode (see “Fan Only Mode (State A)” on page 15).
While in Purge mode, the UVC does not maintain DA temperatures. If the space temperature
drops below the EHS, the UVC is forced into the Emergency Heat mode (see “Emergency
Heat Mode (Super State)” on page 16).
Figure 8: Night purge state diagram
Fan Only Mode (State A)
The Fan Only mode is provided so that the UVC can be forced into a Fan Only operation via a
keypad/display or a network connection. Fan Only mode consists of a single UVC state: Fan
Only [A].
When Fan Only mode becomes active, the UVC stops all normal heating and cooling.
While in Fan Only mode, the UVC does not maintain DA temperatures. If the space
temperature drops below the EHS, the UVC is forced into the Emergency Heat mode (see
“Emergency Heat Mode (Super State)”).
