MPCQ Platinum Installation and Operation Manual

Adding up to 2 Extension Panels for Additional Stages
• When additional Stages are needed, the MPCQ Platinum can control up to 2 additional extension panels for a total of 24 stages.
• Extension panels have built-in Lockout input terminals. The MPCQ Platinum can isolate locked out boilers from the operation process
and display their status.
Automatic Rotation among Stages
• Rotating the first burner to be activated on a call for output promotes even wear on all burners. The MPCQ Platinum has three modes
of rotation: Manual, First-ON/First-OFF, or automatically every selected time period from every hour to every 41 days.
Schedules
• By setting an operating Schedule and Night Setback, you can save energy while providing comfortable heat to the building. The setting
allows the MPCQ Platinum to use a different cycle curve as well as a different outdoor cutoff . In addition, it reduces space target
temperature during the night or when building is unoccupied, i.e. office buildings and schools.
• During the day, Day Time settings will change cycle curve, outdoor cutoff, as well as space target. Each weekday can have up to 4
Day Time and 4 Night Time (Setback) settings. See Schedules on page 26.
Boost
• This feature lets the MPCQ Platinum bring the building up to temperature quickly after a Night period. When the MPCQ Platinum is
to start the Boost, it starts its boost earlier than the Day #1 schedule setting. The length of boost is determined by the amount set by
the Boost Adjustment for a period that is calculated using the outdoor temperature as a guide. See Boost on page 22.
Early Shutdown ESD
• This feature allows the MPCQ Platinum to shift 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 MPCQ Platinum will shift to Night
Setback.. See Boost on page 22.
Remote Communication
• The MPCQ Platinum can be upgraded to Heat-Timer’s BACnet (BAC controls) or Internet system (RINet controls) to monitor and
control all MPCQ Platinum functions from a remote location. However, only the Internet communication package upgrade allows the
MPCQ Platinum to accept additional sensors, to monitor their status, and to provide alarms deliveries to e-mail, text capable mobile
phones, and the web if the sensor values are not in the correct range.
Vacation
• The MPCQ Platinum RINet (Internet controls only) can be set to have a third space target for a specified period. This can be used for
vacation situation in schools. It offers the user a significant fuel savings during those periods.
