MCS-THERMOSTAT REVISION 1.5
4. Installation
The MCS-THERMOSTAT is powered by a +5vdc supply from an MCS controller via a two
wire connection that can be wired with the communication network cabling. Improper wiring
or installation may damage the thermostat. Wiring must conform to local and national
electrical codes.
WARNING!
Before installing the thermostat, turn off all power to the unit.
There may be more than one power disconnect. Electrical
shock can cause personal injury or death.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE THERMOSTAT WHERE IT MAY BE AFFECTED
BY AIR FROM NEARBY DUCT WORK, ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, ETC.
4.1. REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
• An MCS-THERMOSTAT with a +5 volt power supply
• 1/4” Phillips screwdriver
• 5/64” athead screwdriver
• 2 ½ pan machine screws (included)
• 1 Wire cutter/stripper
• 4 Wire 22 to 20 awg Shielded Cable
• J-Box (USA or International)
4.2. MOUNTING LOCATION
• Install the MCS-THERMOSTAT on an interior wall. Exterior walls that are poorly
insulated can affect the Thermostat temperature and humidity readings and may lead
to wasted energy.
• Install the MCS-THERMOSTAT away from drafts, direct sunlight or anything that
would cause the temperature to be articially high or low.
• Install the MCS-THERMOSTAT so that it’s not blocked by doors or other obstructions.
• The Thermostat should be mounted approximately 5’ (1.5m) above the oor.
4.3. WIRING AND DISTANCE
Use 4 wire 22 to 20 awg Shielded Cable for installation. The MCS-THERMOSTAT can be installed
up to 1000 feet from the MCS CONTROLLER.

so no air passes through affecting the thermostat’s
reading. Push the output wires from the MCS
Controller through the rear hole of the MCS-
Thermostat’s mounting plate. It may be good practice
Using a 1x4” Phillips screwdriver, insert one of ¼”
machine screws into one of the mounting slots depending
on the j-box you are utilizing and tighten the screw to hold

5. Installation - Mounting
5.1. UTILIZING J-BOX
MCS recommends you install the MCS-THERMOSTAT utilizing a J-Box.
Prior to installing the MCS-THERMOSTAT punch out the corresponding mounting
holes on the MCS-THERMOSTAT housing based on the J-box you are utilizing.
5.2. PUNCTURE SMALL HOLE
Puncture a small hole in the grommet on the back side
of the thermostat. You want the wires to be tight so no
air passes through affecting the thermostat’s reading.
5.3. OUTPUT WIRES
Push the output wires from the MCS Controller through the rear hole of the
MCS-THERMOSTAT’S mounting plate.
It may be good practice to wait until the wires are in position to be attached to the
MCS-THERMOSTAT before they are stripped or cut with a tool.
5.4. SCREWS
Using a ¼” Phillips screwdriver, insert one of ¼” machine
screws into one of the mounting slots depending on the J-box
you are utilizing and tighten the screw to hold the mounting wall
plate into position.
Screw the second ¼” machine screw into the lower mounting
slot to secure the wall plate.

12.3. MODIFY SCHEDULES
Unlike Thermostats that are used at home and in an some ofce buildings, the MCS
Thermostat ‘SCHEDULES’ control the run/stop of the controller’s cool target and heat
target setting only.
Think of the Thermostat ‘SCHEDULES’ as controlling whether a building or room is
‘OCCUPLIED or ‘UNOCCUPLIED’.
We can still allow the building or room to be cooled or heated, but with target setting,
we can lower (or raise) the temperature depending on whether the building or room is
‘OCCUPLIED’.
For example if you set ‘SCHEDULE ONE’ to start at 8:00am the thermostat will start
either the cooling process or heating process of the unit based on the cooling/heating
targets that you have setup in the Thermostat or conguration of the controller. Setting
‘SCHEDULE ONE’ to end at 17:00 (5:00pm) the Thermostat can change how the
building or room is heated or cooled.
The advantage of the MCS Thermostat is that you can override the target settings
of the UNIT’S heating, cooling and humidity from the thermostat without the going to
the actual unit. See an example of setting up the schedules and holidays on the next
pages.
