•   The System relay can control a combustion air damper.  When the Outdoor 

temperature increases 2°F above the Outdoor Cutoff after the last burner stage relay 
has de-energized, the System relay will stay on for a period of time set by the System 
Run-On.  This allows the combustion air damper to bring fresh air into the building.

•   When in Set Point Operating Mode, the MPCQ Platinum has two heat levels.  The Day Time setting is for when a building is 

occupied and people are active. It follows that Day schedule.  The Night Time settings hold a lower pressure set point when the 
building is unoccupied and it will follow the Night schedule.

•   The Night Time setting lowers the pressure of the system by the setback indicated.  In other words, if the control is in Setback, the 

MPCQ Platinum will subtract the value of the Night Setback setting from the Set Point setting and use the result as the new target.

•   The Morning Boost is designed to return the building to comfortable ambient 

temperatures after the cooler Night (Save) period.  The MPCQ Platinum will 
accomplish this by holding a constant steam pressure for a given period based on the 
Schedule Day #1 setting.  See Schedules on page 26.

•   If no boost is needed on a day of the week, simply DO NOT program the Day #1 

setting, and use the Day #2 setting for any Day starting time.

•   To set up the Morning Boost, you must select the type of Boost and its amount.  There 

are three types of Boost:

Manual

•   This Boost begins at the Day #1 time, and lasts for as many minutes as set by the Boost 

Adjustment.  This type of Boost does not adjust with outside temperature and is not 
affected by the space temperature.

Vari-Boost

•   This boost begins earlier than the Day #1 time.  The 

colder the outdoor temperature, the earlier the Vari-
Boost will start.  A Vari-Boost curve of 0.1 gives the 
shortest Boost period, and a curve of 6.4 gives the 
longest Boost period.

•   If Space Lockout was enabled, the Vari-Boost can 

extend up to an hour past the Day #1 schedule setting 

trying to satisfy the Day Space Target.

•   Whenever Vari-Boost is selected, it will have an added 

15 minute Warm-up time.  This accounts for the time 
it takes for the boilers to establish pressure from a cold 
start, and is automatically added to the Boost time.  So 
that, the total Boost period is equal to Boost time plus 
the Warm-up time.
