The Warranty Claims Department should then be contacted.
Do not stand or transport the machines on end. For storing,
each carton is marked with “up” arrows.
Temporary storage at the job site must be indoor, completely
sheltered from rain, snow, etc. High or low temperatures
naturally associated with weather patterns will not harm the
units. Excessively high temperatures, 140°F (60°C) and
higher, may deteriorate certain plastic materials and cause
permanent damage.
IMPORTANT
This product was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory. Responsibility for its safe delivery
was assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment.
Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must therefore
be made upon the carrier as follows:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted on the
freight bill or carrier’s receipt, and signed by the carrier’s agent.
Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of loss
or damage may result in the carrier’s refusal to honor a
damage claim. The form required to file such a claim will be
supplied by the carrier.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage which does
not become apparent until the product has been unpacked.
The contents may be damaged in transit due to rough handling
even though the carton may not show external damages.

STOP! If an outside air damper kit is to be installed,
install it now. See Fresh Air Damper‚ page 16 and the IM
included with the damper for more information.
6 Position the chassis/subbase against the wall where the
unit is to be installed. Make sure that the area under the
unit is free of combustible materials such as carpet. For
cabinet units, the wall must act to close off the back of
the unit.
7 For hideaway units, if you are using McQuay’s
decorative wallplate, use blocks or other suitable
material to raise the unit off the floor a minimum of 1.5
inches (38 mm).
8 Make sure electrical and piping connections are in the
proper location within the end compartments. The
control box is in the end compartment opposite the main
coil piping connections. Power to the unit is hooked up
through the junction box/disconnect box located under
the control box. See Figure 30, page 21 through
Figure 33, page 24 for location information.
9 Use a level to check that the unit is level both front to
back and side to side (see Figure 6). Adjust the unit as
needed using the optional leveling legs or shims.
CAUTION
It is critical that the unit is level to avoid condensate
accumulation in the drain pan. This is especially important
when using a stainless steel drain pan which does not have a
sloped bottom.
10 The chassis has a series of slots on the back flange to
mount the assembly to the wall. Transfer a mark with a
marker or pencil to the wall at the mounting hole

General Guidelines
1 Piping can be steel, copper or PVC, but must comply
with local codes.
2 Proper ventilation is required for soldering. When
soldering, use a quenching cloth to protect fan coil
components from overheating damage—melting
insulation, also damage to valves, wiring, electronics,
sensors, etc. See Figure 7. When McQuay provides valve
McQuay IM 980-17
packages with unions, o-rings are included. When
soldering near unions, remove the o-rings before heating.
Figure 7: Protect Components From Overheating
3
If sealant compound is not provided for flexible hose
fittings, apply Teflon tape to the connections to help
prevent leaks.
4 Ensure proper insulation of supply and return piping.
Proper insulation prevents loss of fan coil capacity,
overheating of end compartments, and/or moisture
dripping.
5 The piping to and from the unit must be protected from
outside air and freeze conditions. It must be suitably
insulated for condensation and for heat loss or gain.
Penetrations entering the unit end compartments must be
fitted/sealed for unit integrity.
6 Exterior condensate may be an issue if field piping does
not have a control valve. Review the supply and return
header locations in the Dimensions drawing beginning
on page 21. If using a field-assembled piping package,
allow sufficient room to install the secondary drain pan.
Piping for chilled water should not extend over the edges
of the secondary condensate drain pan.
7 Supply and return shutoff valves are recommended at
each unit. The return valve is used for balancing and
should have a “memory stop” so that it can always be
closed off, but can only be re-opened to the proper
position for the flow required.
8 Primary coils are factory-equipped with vents for venting
the system, but secondary coils (preheat or reheat) are
not. If the unit is not equipped with a factory-built piping
packages, then a vent must be added. See step 1, page 8.
9 Be sure to install control valves on the correct fan coil.
Indiscriminate mixing of valves in the field can result in
valves improperly sized for the desired flow rate, which
can result in poor operation and coil freezeups.
10 Install control valves so there is at least 2" (51mm)
minimum clearance to remove the actuator from the
valve body.

Coil Air
Vent
11 Do not connect a unit to the supply and return piping
until the water system has been cleaned and flushed
completely. After this is done, the initial connection
should have all valves wide open in preparation for water
system flushing.
12 Condensate piping can be steel, copper, or PVC. A
means of disconnection must be furnished to facilitate
fan section removal.
13 No point of the drain system may be above the drain pan
of any unit.
14 Automatic flow control devices must not be installed
prior to system cleaning and flushing.
15 Check local code for any requirement for electrical
fittings.
Connecting to a Factory-Installed Valve &
Piping Package
To view connection locations for factory-i nstalled valve &
piping packages, see Figure 34, page 25. Before instal ling
supply and return lines to a factory piping package, review the
following items.
• All piping connections are 5/8" O.D.S. (1/2" nominal)
female copper connections.
• Supply and return piping should not interfere with the
secondary drain pan or condensate line.
• The installer must provide adequate piping system filtration
and water treatment.
• McQuay Deluxe and Enhanced piping packages include a
strainer which prevents debris from entering the coil. Clean
the strainer regularly.
• The fan coil ships with brackets to adequately support the
piping package during shipment. Remove these brackets
before connecting water piping to the unit.
• Set end valves to the fully open position to prevent damage
to the valve seat during brazing.
• Remove the secondary drain pan, if in place, to prevent
exposure to dripping solder or excessive temperatures.
• Solder water piping connections to supply and return end
connections. Avoid overheating factory soldered joints to
prevent the possibility of leakage.
• Insulate fan coil piping to secondary drain pan connections
and any piping that is not above the secondary drain pan.
Field-Installed Valve & Piping
Review General Guidelines‚ page 7 before beginning. Then
carry out the following steps to install valves and piping.
1 For units equipped with a secondary coil make sure that
an air vent is included in the return line piping (see
Figure 8). Primary coils are factory-equipped with vents
for venting the system, but secondary coils (preheat or
reheat) are not.
IMPORTANT
Venting is required on the return piping for secondary preheat
or reheat coils. It is included on factory-built piping packages,
but must be added by the installing contractor for field-installed
piping. See Figure 8.
Figure 8: Secondary Coil Air Vent
2 Remove the secondary drain pan, if in place, to prevent
exposure to dripping solder or excessive temperatures.
Note: Factory-installed valve and piping packages include
the secondary drain pan, which ships with the unit.
For other arrangements, the secondary drain pan
must be ordered separately.
3
Push the main drain pan condensate hose back inside the
end plate to prevent it from getting burned when making
sweat connections. Be sure to pull the hoses back
through and route to the secondary drain pan when the
end panel has cooled.
4 Slide ½" copper tubing or connection couplings (installer
provided) onto the coil connections. Solder the joint
using a good-quality, lead-free solder to provide a
watertight connection.
WARNING
Avoid overheating when soldering field connections to the coil
to prevent leakage, overheating of the copper tubes, and
melting of valves, factory-soldered joints or component
gasketing. A quenching cloth is recommended. See Figure 7.
5 After connections are complete, insulate all piping to the
coil connections as necessary to prevent condensate from
dripping outside of the secondary drain pan.
6 Install the optiona l seco nd ary drain pan.
Shutoff/Balancing Valve
Each fan coil should be at least be equipped with shutoff
valves on both the supply and return lines for easy
serviceability and removal if it becomes necessary. We suggest
using our combination shutoff/balancing valves between the

main supply line and the fan coil unit. These can be furnished
as part of a factory-installed valve & piping package or they
can be installed in the field. The balancing valve installed on
the return line is used to adjust the water flow to provide the
best performance.
Condensate Drain Connection
1 Connect a copper or plastic pipe to the 7/8 inch copper
pipe on the secondary drain pan. This should be a
mechanical connection that allows easy removal of the
secondary drain pan when servicing the piping end
pocket.
2 Slide the pipe over the drain pan nipple and tighten the
collar on the pipe with a hose clamp (installer supplied).
A drain line pitch of one inch per ten feet of drain line
run must be maintained to provide adequate condensate
drainage.
3 The drain line should be supported to prevent undue
stress on the secondary drain pan. Make sure the drain
line is free of kinks and obstructions and the secondary
drain pan is level.
4 The installer is responsible for adequately insulating
field piping. See External Insulating Requirements‚ page
10 for more information.
Figure 9: Condensate Drain Connection
Automatic Changeover Sensor
Two-pipe changeover units require an automatic changeover
switch or pipe sensor that determines heating or cooling mode
based on the supply water temperature. A switch is provided
with a unit-mounted analog thermostat on a two-pipe system.
A sensor is provided with any digital control on a two-pipe
system. On units with a factory-installed valve & piping
package, the factory straps the changeover switch or sensor to
the piping supply water pipe. See Figure 10.
For a two-pipe system with intermediate electric heat, a second
set is required including a changeover switch or sensor.
Figure 10: Changeover switch & sensor attachment
If the unit does not have a factory-installed valve & piping
package, the changeover switch or sensor can be ordered for
field installation. The installer should attach the sensor or autochangeover switch parallel to and in direct contact with the
supply water pipe.
Note: The installer is responsible to ensure the changeover
sensor is installed in a location that can sense active
water temperature. Otherwise, the unit may fail to sense
the correct operating mode and disable temperature
control.
When using field-supplied three-way valves, install the
changeover sensor upstream of the valve on the supply water
pipe. When using field-supplied two-way control valves,
install the changeover sensor in a location that will detect
active water temperature. The unit must always be able to
sense the correct system water temperature, regardless of the
control valve position.
Note: The maximum length of the automatic changeover wire
cannot exceed ten feet from the control panel to the
sensor. If the wire extends beyond the unit chassis, use
shielded conductors to eliminate radio frequency
interference (RFI).
Steam Piping Connections
CAUTION!
Coil Damage!
In all steam coil installations, the condensate return connections
must be at the low point of the coil to ensure condensate flows
freely from the coil at all times. Failure to do so may cause
physical coil damage from water hammer, unequal thermal
stresses,freeze-up and/or corrosion.
McQuay IM 980-19
Make piping connections to the steam coil per job
requirements. (McQuay does not supply steam piping
connections.) Install a 1/2", 15-degree swing check vacuum
breaker in the unused condensate return trapping as close as
possible to the coil.The following procedures are
recommended:

1 Vent the vacuum breaker line to atmosphere or connect it
into the return main at the discharge side of the steam
trap.
2 Pitch all steam supply and return mains down a
minimum of one inch per ten feet in the direction of flow.
3 Do not drain the steam mains or takeoff through the
coils. Drain the mains ahead of the coils through a steam
trap to the return line.
4 Overhead returns require one psig of pressure at the
steam trap discharge for each two-feet elevation to
ensure continuous condensate removal.
5 Proper steam trap selection and installation is necessary
for satisfactory coil performance and service life. For
installation, use the following steps:
a Position the steam trap discharge at least 12 inches
below the condensate return connection. This
provides sufficient hydrostatic head pressure to
overcome trap losses and ensure complete condensate
removal.
b McQuay recommends using flat and thermostatic
traps because of gravity drain and continuous
discharge operation.
c Use float and thermostatic traps with atmospheric-
pressure gravity condensate return, with automatic
controls or where the possibility of low pressure
supply steam exists.
d Always install strainers as close as possible to the trap
inlet side.
Electrical Connections
Installation and maintenance must be performed only by
qualified personnel who are familiar with local codes and
regulations, and are experienced with this type of equipment.
DANGER
Hazardous Voltage!
The installer must determine and follow all applicable codes
and regulations. This equipment presents hazards of
electricity, rotating parts, sharp edges, heat and weight. Failure
to read and follow instructions can result in property damage,
severe personal injury or death.
Standard Electrical Connection
Field electrical power connections are made in the electrical
junction box, which is mounted to the control box on the side
of the chassis opposite the primary coil piping connections.
See Figure 11. If the unit is equipped with an optional
disconnect switch, it is located in this junction box.
Units with an electric heat option that has the same voltage as
the unit can bring the power conductors into this same junction
box. Units with electric heat that has a different voltage should
bring the electric heat into one of the knockouts on the control
box. See Figure 11.
Low voltage wires should be brought into the conduit located
next to the field electrical power junction box. See Figure 11.
Figure 11: Electrical Power Connections
Two-pipe systems with electric heat
The electric heating coil is designed to be the total source of
heat for the unit. If used for auxiliary intermediate season
heating, additional control is required. A second switch or pipe
sensor is required. Contact your McQuay representative for
more information.
To protect the electric heat elements, an automatic and manual
electric heat switch disengages the electric heat to prevent
overheating. For information on resetting the manual switch,
see Electric Heat Over-Temp Reset Button‚ page 17.
External Insulating Requirements
Insulate and vapor-seal surfaces that are colder than the
surrounding air dew point to prevent unplanned condensation.
McQuay recommends field-insulation in the following areas to
prevent potential condensate problems:
• Supply and return water piping connections
• Condensate drain lines and connections
• Fresh air intake duct connections
• Discharge duct connections
• Wall boxes
If electrical wiring or conduit comes through the floor, all
wires or conduit should be sealed at this point. It will prevent
any condensation or water leakage that may occur due to lack
of preventive maintenance.
Note: Wiring coming through the wall should be sealed to stop cold air
infiltration through the wall cavity, which could affect unit
thermostat operation. Wiring coming through the floor should be
sealed to prevent condensation or water leakage from reaching
live wires.
Install a strain relief and pass the wires through the strain relief
into the junction box. Make the connections and reinstall the
junction box cover.
Electrical Data
The wiring diagram for the unit is attached to the inside of the
corner panel on cabinet units. It is attached to the front cover
of the unit on hideaway units. See Figure 11. Be sure the
available power is the same voltage and phase as that shown
on the unit serial plate. See Figure 3, page 4 for the location of
the serial plate.
Figure 12: Wiring Diagram Locations
Note: Voltages listed are to show voltage range. However,
units operating with overvoltage and undervoltage for
extended periods of time will experience premature
component failure.

DANGER
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE
THERMOSTAT/CONTROL CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE IT.
Failure to observe safety information and comply with
instructions could result in PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND/
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
To avoid electrical shock or damage to equipment, disconnect
power before installing or servicing. Use only wiring with
insulation rated for full thermostat operating voltage. Use
copper wire only. Insulate or wirenut all un-used leads. Any
wiring, including the remote probe,may carry the full operating
voltage of the thermostat.
To avoid potential fire and/ or explosion do not use in
potentially flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Retain the installation instructions for future reference. You
must review your application and national and local codes to
ensure that your installation will be functional and safe.
After wiring and installation are complete, energize the system
and check the operation. Adjust the thermostat as necessary
to complete at least one cycle. Be sure the thermostat and all
other equipment are functioning correctly.
Line and voltage wiring must be done in accordance with local
codes or the National Electrical Code, whichever is applicable.
Apply correct line voltage to the unit. Power to the unit must
be sized correctly. Branch circuit overcurrent protection must
be provided per local codes. See the nameplate for correct
ratings.
All 208-230V single-phase units are factory wired for 230 volt
operation. For 208 V operation the L1 wire connection to the
unit transformer (found in the main control box) must be
changed. The L1 wire must be disconnected from the 230 V
(orange) wire and connected to the 208 V (red) wire. The 230
V wire must then be capped off with a wire nut or male
terminal as appropriate. Please refer to the unit wiring
diagram.

11 Short-circuited supply and return run outs should now be
connected to the unit supply and return connections. Do
not use sealers at the swivel flare connections of hoses.
12 Refill the system with clean water.
13 Test the water using litmus paper for acidity, and treat as
required to leave the water slightly alkaline (pH 7.5 to
8.5).
14 Antifreeze may also be added at this time. Use
commercial grade antifreeze designed for HVAC
systems only. Do not use automotive grade antifreeze.
Antifreeze will have an effect on the performance of the
unit.
15 Once the system has been filled with clean water and
antifreeze (if used), precautions should be taken to
protect the system from dirty water conditions.
It is McQuay’s policy not to make recommendations on water
treatment. It is the responsibility of the user to check that the
water supply to the units is free of contaminants or corrosive
agents, chemicals or minerals. The general contractor or
owner should contact a local water treatment company
regarding water treatment. A fouled water system will lead to
premature component failure.
IMPORTANT
Operating Limits
This equipment is designed for indoor installation only.
Sheltered locations such as attics, garages, etc., generally will
not provide sufficient protection against extremes in
temperature and/or humidity , and equipment performance,
reliability , and service life may be adversely affected.
Venting Hydronic Coils
Hydronic coils require a vent, either manual or automatic, to
release air from the unit. Primary coils on all Thinline fan coils
come standard with a coil air vent. It is located on the piping
side of the unit, above the coil connections. See Figure 14.
Secondary coils on ThinLine units are not equipped with an air
vent, but one is included on all factory-supplied valve and
piping packages. It is located on the pipe closest to the outlet
coil connection. See Figure 14.
Perform the following steps to vent both primary and
secondary coils after installing the unit.
1 Pressurize the building piping system with water and
vent any trapped air at system vents.
2 For units with manual air vents, back the set screw out to
expel air from the unit and then re-tighten the set screw.
3 Automotic air vents should require no adjustment for the
coil to vent. However, if the coil does not vent
immediately, unscrew the outer portion of the fitting to
expel air from the port. If debris has become trapped in
the vent, completely remove the outer portion of the
fitting and clean.

Controls
A wide variety of control options are available for ThinLine
3G Vertical Fan Coils, both unit-mounted and remotemounted. This section provides a brief overview of these
options and their operation. For more complete information,
contact your McQuay representative.
Manual 4-Position Fan Switch
This four-position fan switch (Off, High,
Med, Low) option, shown at the right, is
available remote-mounted. It operates on
low-voltage or line-voltage power and can
be provided with a factory-mounted lowvoltage interface board, which contains
three-24 volt relays with line voltage
contactors and terminal connections. The
transformer is factory-installed and wired.
Sequence of operation
• Off: Fan is turned off. The motorized fresh-air damper, when
supplied, is closed (see Fresh Air Damper‚ page 16).
• High, Medium, Low: Fan runs continuously at the selected
speed. The two-position, motorized fresh-air damper, when
supplied, is opened.
Unit-Mounted, Mechanical Thermostat With
4-Position Fan Switch
The unit-mounted
option, shown at the
right, combines the
four-position fan switch
with a mechanical
thermostat. For twopipe systems with a
factory installed valve
package, it can be
provided with a manual
switch (shown in
picture to the right) to
change from heating to
cooling. Alternatively, the changeover can be automatic.
• Changeover Switch: With a manual switch, the user selects
whether heating or cooling is desired. With automatic
changeover, a pipe sensor works with the thermostat to
operate the heating or cooling valve.
• Heating: Opens the valve when the temperature is below
the setpoint.
• Cool: Opens the valve when the temperature is above the
setpoint.
Digital Thermostats
McQuay offers a broad
range of unit-mounted and
remote, wall-mounted
digital thermostats with
the capabililty to control
On-Off, 3-wire and
proportional modulating
valves, and Normally
Closed or Normally Open
actuator valves. For more
information, refer to the
McQuay publication ED 18513-1 and ED 18527.
MT155 Thermostat
For more details refer to page 47. The MT155 series thermostat
provides on-off control for low-voltage or line-voltage valves
and fan motors. This thermostat is designed as a remote-mount
with connection to the LV interface board mounted on the fan
coil unit. Options include manual or automatic changeover and
three-speed fan control for continuous or cycling fan operation.
The thermostat may be mounted on units already at the job site.
Each unit should be equipped with an LV Interface Board, if
not, a Controls Mounting Kit PN9101120 80 needs to be
ordered. For field installation instructions of the MT155 on a
unit, refer to page 45.
Figure 15: MT155 Thermostats
Sequence of operation
• Fan Switch
• Off: Fan is turned off. The two-position, motorized
fresh-air damper, when supplied, is closed (see Fresh Air
Damper‚ page 16).
• High, Medium, Low: Fan runs conti nuously at the
selected speed. The two-position, motorized fresh-air
damper, when supplied, is opened.
• Thermostat
• Cycles the valve(s) open or clo sed on deman d based on
occupant-desired level.
McQuay IM 980-113
Three standard control options are available:
• On-Off fan cycle operation only: The thermostat cycles the
fan from the manually selected fan speed (high, medium or
low) to off.
• Continuous fan and On-Off valve cycle operation: The
thermostat cycles the valves on and off. The fan runs
continuously at the manually selected fan speed.
Operation and Maintenance
• On-Off fan and On-Off valve cycle operation: The
thermostat cycles the fan from the manually selected fan
speed to off and it cycles the valves on and off.
When the system switch is in the OFF position, the fan coil
system including the fan is shut off.
TA155: A HEAT-OFF-COOL system switch manually selects
heating or cooling mode. In the HEAT position, only the heat
output cycles with demand. In the COOL position, only the
cool output cycles with demand. In the OFF position, heating
and cooling outputs are off. Units with a two position system
switch or without a system switch must use a load transfer
switch when both heating and cooling outputs are used. This
prevents control failure and equipment damage caused by
direct cycling between loads.
TB155: An ON-OFF system switch enables auto-changeover
of heating and cooling modes. In the ON position the
thermostat activates heating or cooling outputs dependant
upon the relationship between set point and ambient
temperature. Heat on to cool on dead band is 4°F. In the OFF
position, heating and cooling outputs are off. Units without a
system switch cycle between heating and cooling with a 4°F
dead band.
FAN: Some units have a switch for manual selection of fan
speed. On these units fan operation is either internally wired
for fan continuous operation or is dependant upon connection
to the fan supply input . When internally wired for fan
continuous operation, the fan will be off when the system
switch is off. When dependant upon external connections the
fan may not be off with the system switch in the off position.
The fan supply input is switched to fan speed outputs (HIMED-LO).
Heating and cooling outputs for the MT158 are individually
configurable for three-wire floating control valves or On/Off
valves in the Normally Open or Normally Closed modes.
Heating and cooling outputs for the MT168 provide 0-10 Vdc
or 4-20 mA for proportional modulating valve control. The
integrated, three-speed fan control switch is line voltage to
allow direct connection to the fan motors. Manual or automatic
changeover is provided with remote setback capability from a
time clock or facility management system. Features include a
Fahrenheit or Celsius digital display and a built-in purge cycle
which assists the controller to determine if the system is
supplying hot water or cooling.
Two standard control options are available:
• Continuous fan and modulating (or On-Off) valve
operation: The fan runs continuously at the manually
selected fan speed (high, medium or low). The controller
modulates the valves or, on the MT158, dip-switches can be
set to cycle the valves on and off.
• On-Off fan cycle operation and modulating (or On-Off)
valve operation: The controller cycles the fan from the
manually selected fan speed to off. The controller modulates
the valves or, on the MT158, dip-switches can be set to cycle
the valves on and off.
T170 Thermostat with Digital Display
Two thermostats are offered for remote installation only:
TA170 for three-speed fan control and TB170 for staged fan
operation. Both thermostats are used for On-Off control of
low- or line-voltage valves with auto changeover. Detailed
installation instructions and modes of operation can be found
in page 63.
MT158 and MT168 Thermostat-Controllers with
Digital Display
For more details refer to page 51, 55 or 59. Series MT158 and
MT168 microprocessor-based thermostat-controllers combine
a proportional integral control algorithm with adaptive logic.
They may be unit-mounted or remote-wall mounted.

Condensate Overflow Detection Device
The condensate overflow detection device is a factory-installed
option on fan coils. This device has a condensate overflow
floater with dry contacts and is connected to the LV interface
board. See Figure 22.
If the damper is difficult to open or moves too freely, you can
adjust the tension by tightening or loosening the nuts on its
pivot axis. See Figure 20.
Figure 20: Adjusting Damper Tension
Cold Weather Operation
Unit heaters may experience erratic operation during cold
ambient conditions with the outside air damper in the open
position.
If you suspect it is not working properly, check to be sure that
the float is installed straight up with the proper elevation. See
Accessing/removing the main drain pan and motor assembly‚
page 19 for instructions on removing the main drain pan to
access the device.
The condensate overflow switch needs to be wired to the
proper controller (T170 for example) to shut off the fan if
water is present in the drain pan.

General Maintenance
Normal maintenance on all units is generally limited to filter
changes and cleaning the condensate drain pans. Units are
provided with permanently lubricated motors and require no
oiling even though oil caps may be provided.
Record performance measurements of volts, amps, and water
temperature differences (both heating and cooling). A
comparison of logged data with start-up and other annual data
is useful as an indicator of general equipment condition.
Filter Changes
4 Remove the filter from under the unit.
To install a new filter:
1 Slide the filter under the unit and tilt its rear 0edge
upward and into the pocket at the rear of the filter
housing.
2 Push the front edge of the filter backward until it clears
the front lip on the filter housing, then push it up and into
place.
Figure 27: Filter Removal
Condensate Drain Pans
The main and secondary condensate drain pans should be
checked annually and cleaned and flushed as required. See
Figure 28.
Figure 28: Drain Pan Locations
Filter changes are required at regular intervals. The time
period between changes will depend upon the project
requirements. Some applications, such as motels, produce a lot
of lint from carpeting and linen changes, and will require more
frequent filter changes. Check filters at 60-day intervals for the
first year until experience is acquired. If light cannot be seen
through the filter when held up to sunlight or a bright light, it
should be changed. A more critical standard may be desirable.
Filters can be removed without removing any panels. See
Figure 27. However, if the unit is equipped with a return air
grille, this must first be removed to access the filter. To remove
the filter:
1 Slide your hands under the front opening on the bottom
of the unit and feel for the filter above.
2 Slide your fingers along the bottom of the filter until they
reach the rear paperboard edge.
3 Push the paperboard edge backward about a half-inch
until the front edge of the filter drops down.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE OR SERVICE THIS
THERMOSTAT.
Failure to observe safety information and comply with
instructions could result in PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND/
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
To avoid electrical shock or damage to equipment, disconnect
power before installing or servicing. Use only wiring with
insulation rated for full thermostat operating voltage. Use
copper wire only. Insulate or wirenut all un-used leads. Any
wiring, including the remote probe,may carry the full operating
voltage of the thermostat.
To avoid potential fire and/ or explosion do not use in
potentially flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Retain these instructions for future reference. You must review
your application and national and local codes to ensure that
your installation will be functional and safe.
1 Install the thermostat with the two furnished mounting
screws to a standard 2" x 4" electrical box, 4-11/16" x 21/8" square device box with a 2" x 4" adapter ring or to a
4" x 4" box with accessory adapter plate.
2 For wall installations, mount the thermostat on an inside
wall approximately 5 feet above the floor. The location
should provide circulation at average room temperature.
Avoid direct sunlight or sources of hot or cold air in the
room or wall.
3 Remove the knob and then the cover. Mount thermostat
base assembly to the outlet box using the screws
provided, tighten the screws evenly but do not over
tighten. Make wiring connections as noted.

thermostat as necessary to complete at least one cycle.
Be sure the thermostat and all other equipment are
functioning correctly.
Thermostat Operation
Temperature Range: 50°F - 90°F (10°C - 32°C)
TA155: A HEAT-OFF-COOL system switch manually selects
heating or cooling mode. In the HEAT position, only the heat
output cycles with demand. In the COOL position, only the
cool output cycles with demand. In the OFF position, heating
and cooling outputs are off. Units with a two position system
switch or without a system switch must use a load transfer
switch when both heating and cooling outputs are used. This
prevents control failure and equipment damage caused by
direct cycling between loads.
TB155: An ON-OFF system switch enables auto-changeover
of heating and cooling modes. In the ON position the
thermostat activates heating or cooling outputs dependant
upon the relationship between set point and ambient
temperature. Heat on to cool on dead band is 4°F. In the OFF
position, heating and cooling outputs are off. Units without a
system switch cycle between heating and cooling with a 4°F
dead band.
FAN: Some units have a switch for manual selection of fan
speed. On these units fan operation is either internally wired
for fan continuous operation or is dependant upon connection

On the circuit board, set the voltage selection switch
(Figure 2) to the appropriate voltage for the application
• 24 V = 24 VAC
• 110–277 V = 120, 240, or 277 VAC.
Note:
The circuit board is shipped with the voltag e selection switch
in the 110-227 V position. For 24 VAC use, the switch must
be in the 24 V position.
CAUTION
Before applying power, the voltage selection switch must be in
the appropriate position. Failure to select the correct voltage
can cause thermostat malfunction or permanently damage the
thermostat.
6 The circuit board is also equipped with configuration
jumpers (JP1, JP3, and JP4 in Figure 2). Depending on the
application, it may be necessary to reconfigure the
following jumpers:
•JP4: 2/4 Pipe Sensor Jumper - This jumper selects
between 2-pipe (jumper ON) and 4-pipe (jumper OFF)
operation (see “Fan Operation” on page 69).
•JP3: Door/Window Switch Jumper - This jumper is
shipped normally open. Placement of a jumper allows
for occupancy detection and door/window switch only
operation (see “Optional Occupancy Detection
Equipment Operation” on page 71).
•JP1: Removal of this jumper allows the sensor to be
located in a remote location.
CAUTION
To use a remote sensor on units with local sensing capability,
remove jumper JP1 to disable local sensing. Failure to remove
JP1 can cause improper operation of the thermostat with a
remote probe installed.
7 Connect the color coded thermostat wires (Figure 3) to the

specific operations. These buttons and operations are described
below.
The System button (Figure 4) contains and displays the
following modes of operation:
OFF—All thermostat outputs are off. The fan is still
operational if FAN ON is selected.
AUTO—The thermostat automatically selects heating or
cooling mode depending on the set point and room
temperature. If demand exists, the appropriate HEAT or COOL
icon illuminates. A 3°F dead band is provided to prevent short
cycling between heating and cooling modes. After changeover,
the control point automatically shifts so that the control OFF

McQuay IM 846Page 69
Operation
Fancoil Operation
Fancoil operation is either a 2-pipe or 4-pipe configuration
which is determined by jumper selection JP4 (see “Mounting
and Wiring the Thermostat” on page 65).
2-Pipe Operation
In this configuration, the thermostat permanently disables the
secondary output and disables the fan from cycling in an
invalid mode. The main output configuration is dependent on
the pipe sensor input. With a pipe sensor connected, the
thermostat automatically selects heating or cooling depending
on the sensed water temperature. If the pipe sensor input is
open (unconnected), the main output only cools. If the pipe
sensor input is shorted, the main output only heats. Normal
thermostat default is for 4-pipe operation. For 2-pipe
operation, install a jumper on JP4.
4-Pipe Operation
In this configuration, both the main output (COOL) and the
secondary output (HEAT) are available. These both cycle ON
depending on the mode of the thermostat. With a pipe sensor
connected, the thermostat automatically changes the main
output to heat and disables the secondary output if the main
coil water is hot. For 4-pipe operation, the JP4 jumper is
removed.
Pipe Sensor Operation
A pipe sensor can be connected when the thermostat is
configured for either 2-pipe or 4-pipe configuration. The pipe
sensor is used to determine the water temperature in the main
coil, which should be connected to the primary output.
Pipe sensor input—use a 10K Rem ote Probe or a standard ONOff Aquastat for summer/winter changeover.
Purge Cycle
With a pipe sensor connected, the thermostat initiates a purge
cycle if the sensed water temperature is ambiguous (not
adequately hot or cold). The sequence for purge cycle
operation is as follows:
1 The thermostat has a call for heat or cooling.
Note: If at any time the call goes away, the thermostat
stops the purge cycle.
2 The thermostat checks the pipe sensor to verify water
temperature.
3 If the water temperature is beyond 15°F of the set point,
normal HVAC control occurs.
4 If the water temperature is not beyond 15°F of the set point,
the thermostat checks to see if the water temperature is
above 80°F or below 60°F.
If yes, normal HVAC control occurs.
If no, the thermostat opens the main output (COOL) for
three minutes.
5 After the three minute purge cycle occurs, the thermostat
checks to see if the water temperature is more than 15°F
from the set point, or above 80°F, or below 60°F.
If yes, normal HVAC operation occurs.
If no, the valve is left open and the thermostat continues to
search for a valid reading.
Note – If at any time the demand goes away, the thermostat will
stop the purge cycle.
T able 4 shows output operation, depending on the sensed
water temperature.

Setback Operation
In this configuration, the low level switch input normally is
open. To enable setback operation, the JP3 jumper is removed
(see “Mounting and Wiring the Thermostat” on page 65). The
input will close and the thermostat heating and cooling setback
limits can then be used as temperature control points. Fan
operation in setback is cycled with demand. Press any
thermostat key to override setback for one hour. Setback
overrides any user setting except if the control is turned to
OFF.

Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
The T170 thermostat can be used with optional S200 series
occupancy detection equipment. Purchasing and installing this
equipment to compliment the thermostat adds energy savings
by setting back HVAC operation during occupied and
unoccupied times. Optional detection equipment
configurations and operation are described below.
SB200-001 Occupancy Sensor
The SB200-001 occupancy sensor (Figure 10) serves as an
occupancy sensor for automatic control of a guest room HV AC
system. It incorporates an innovative dual delay processor
which allows the sensor to verify the nature of occupancies,
and is capable of eliminating unnecessary actuations of the
HVAC device due to unintentional passages or short time
occupancies. The sensor may also serve as a slave sensor
(Figure 11 on page 73).
The sensor switch is open in occupied mode and closed in
unoccupied mode. An optional door and/or window switch
(Figure 10) is open when the door/window is open and is
closed when the door/window is closed.
Note – To use this configuration, a jumper must be installed to
JP3 to allow occupancy input.
Note – An optional door and/or window switch (Figure 10) can be
added for use with the SB200-001 sensor.
Operation
In an occupied mode, the thermostat operates normally and
looks for a door open signal. When the door opens, the
thermostat waits for a door close signal. If the door is open for
more than two minutes, the thermostat turns the HVAC system
outputs to OFF. During this two minute period, if any button is
pressed on the keypad, the time delay is extended to ten
minutes. The time delay can only be extended once. Once the
HVAC outputs transition to OFF, a door closure is required to
re-enable the outputs. When the door closes, the thermostat
starts a two minute timer and tries to detect occupancy. If the
timer expires and no occupancy is detected, the thermostat
transitions to an unoccupied state. If occupancy is detected
while the timer is running, the thermostat will remain in the
occupied mode.
In an unoccupied mode, the thermostat sets heating and
cooling set points to setback values as determined by factory
or user settings. The fan is automatically set to cycle with
demand. The thermostat continually monitors the occupancy
sensor and will enter into occupied mode if occupancy is
detected.
If the installation is only using a door/window switch, the
thermostat will disable the HVAC outputs if this output is open
for longer than two minutes.
T o enable door/window switch only operation, install a jumper
to JP3 (see “Mounting and Wiring the Thermostat” on page
65) and the occupancy input must be shorted to circuit
common.

Optional Occupancy Detection Equipment Operation
SD200-001 Occupancy Sensor
The SD200-001 occupancy sensor (Figure 11) serves as a
master sensor for a guest room HVAC management system.
The sensor provides HVAC operation according to occupancy
status, as well as door/window switch monitoring, selectable
high/low temperature setback, form-C output, slave sensor
connectivity, and a five minute door open HVA C shut-o ff.
Note – To use this configuration, the jumper to JP3 is removed to
allow setback input.
Note – An optional door and/or window switch (Figure 11) and
slave sensor can be added for use with the SD200-001
sensor.
Figure 11: Optional equipment configuration #2
Operation
In an occupied mode, the SD200-001 occupancy sensor
(Figure 11) and door switch use advanced microprocessor
logic to determine occupancy. A door open signal will initiate
occupancy status detection. If the sensor determines that a
room is occupied, it will allow normal HVAC control. The
sensor will wait for another door open signal before
determining occupancy again.
In an unoccupied mode, the sensor continually monitors the
room. Any occupancy detection will set the op eration to
occupied mode.

SD200-002 Occupancy Sensor
The SD200-002 occupancy sensor serves as a stand alone
master sensor for a guest room HVAC management system.
The sensor provides HVAC operation according to occupancy
status, as well as selectable high/low temperature setback,
form-C output, and a five minute door open HVAC shut-off.
This system provides basic room setback and is ideal for
control of HVAC in commercial spaces.
Note – To use this configuration, the jumper to JP3 is removed to
allow setback input.
