Installation
Inspection
Inspect carton for damage. If damaged, notify carrier
immediately. Inspect controllers for damage upon receipt.
Requirements
• Installer must be a qualified technician
Precautions
When installing the MNB-70 controller, be sure to
follow the guidelines outlined in "Precautions" on
page 3.
Location
The MNB-70 controllers are suitable for indoor use only.
Caution:
• Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, vibration, or explosive vapors are present.
• Avoid electrical noise interference. Do not install near
large contactors, electrical machinery, or welding
equipment.
• Locate where ambient temperatures do not exceed 131°F
(55°C) or fall below 32°F (0°C), and relative humidity
does not exceed 85% or fall below 5%, non-condensing.
MNB-70 controllers can be mounted in any direction and on
any plane.
Dimensions
Mounting dimensions are shown in Figure-1.
Note: The following items are not provided.
• Job wiring diagrams
• Tools:
– Screw drivers
– Digital volt-ohm meter (DVM)
– Drill and bits for mounting screw
– Static protection wrist strap
• MNA-FLO-1 enclosure for connecting to conduit (optional)
• MS/TP trunk end-of-line termination resistor kit,
120 Ω ±5%, part number 40-1758.
• Class 2 power transformer supplying a nominal 24 Vac,
sized appropriately for the controller (15 VA) plus the
anticipated Digital Output (DO) loads. In European
Community, transformer must conform to EN 60742
• Two #10 sheet metal screws

Note: The MNB-70 may be mounted in
any orientation.
2 Holding the controller in position,
mark the locations of the two
mounting holes on the panel.
3 Set the controller aside and then drill the
marked mounting holes, using a drill bit
sized to the #10 mounting screws.
4 Secure the controller to the panel,
using two #10 screws (not supplied).

cover.
Controller Addressing
DIP Switch
Each MicroNet BACnet controller is equipped with a DIP switch for setting the controller’s
MS/TP network address. Once the address is set, the network is properly wired, and all
routers are configured, WorkPlace Tech Tool (WP Tech) and other Schneider Electric tools
will be able to “see” and work with all the networked BACnet devices. For guidance in
assigning a DIP switch setting that will optimize system performance, refer to the WorkPlace
Tech Tool BACnet Engineering Guide Supplement, F-27356.
Note: Support for the MNB-70 is only found in WP Tech Version 5.6 and later (covered in
Revision 2 of F-27356).
Other BACnet Devices
The UNC and other BACnet devices on the network can work with the MicroNet BACnet
controller once they are assigned unique identifiers and names. MicroNet BACnet
controllers are configured in this way through the Commissioning Tool.
Note: The logical addressing of devices (i.e. the assignment of unique identifiers and
names) is not a prerequisite for using Schneider Electric network management tools. It is,
however, a prerequisite for using the UNC and third-party BACnet devices with MicroNet
BACnet controllers.
EOL Termination
If the controller is at the end-of-line on the MS/TP trunk, set termination according to the
MicroNet BACnet Wiring, Networking, and Best Practices Guide, F-27360, using an
end-of-line termination resistor kit, 120 Ω ±5%, part number 40-1758.
