Temperature Control Operation
The unit utilizes differentials while in orphan mode to
control the space temperature. The differential values
all reference the setpoint therefore allowing the control
band to be easily changed using the setpoint. To change
specific staging characteristics, each differential can
be modified individually. There are separate setpoints
and differentials for cooling and heating. Specific to
the cooling differentials, the economizer will always be
utilized first on a cooling call unless outdoor conditions
are not acceptable for free cooling. In this case, the
compressor will be activated at stage 1 in place of the
economizer. All remaining stages will be shifted until
the economizer becomes available again.
To change or view the unit setpoint:
1. From the Status screen, press UP or DOWN key
until Quick Menu displays Setpoints icon (
Press ENTER key.
2. Press ENTER key to scroll to Cool Setpoint or Heat
Setpoint (see Figure 4 on page 9).
3. Press UP or DOWN keys to change the value to
desired heating and/or cooling setpoint.
Orphan Mode
MEGA-TEC Series wall-mount units have the capability
to run without the LC6000 controller attached—this
feature is called orphan mode. This keeps the shelter
between 60°F and 77°F (factory default settings) by
the use of the factory-installed return air sensor in
each wall-mount unit. In orphan mode, no auxiliary
temperature measurement devices are required for
operation. The wall-mount unit automatically uses a
continuous blower setting to circulate room air into
the return air inlet and uses the return air temperature
sensor to control room temperature.
If at any time the wall-mount unit(s) loses
communication with the LC6000 controller, the wall-

mount unit(s) will go into orphan mode and operate

To change default setpoints, refer to Setpoints on page 7.
During installation, the ability to run in orphan mode
allows deactivation of one of the existing, older wall-
mount units, while keeping the shelter cool with the
other unit still operating. Once the first of the Bard
wall-mount units is installed and powered on, it will
operate in orphan mode—keeping the climate inside
the shelter stable and the installers comfortable while
the remainder of the older equipment is removed and
the remaining Bard wall-mount units and LC6000
controller are installed.
Additionally, should any or all of the MEGA-TEC Series
wall-mount units lose communication with the LC6000
controller (such as during maintenance), they will
continue to serve the shelter's needs until a repair can
be made.
LC6000 Control
When the unit is connected to a LC6000 supervisory
controller, the cooling and heating stages will be
controlled by the LC6000. For more information on
LC6000 staging, see latest version of LC6000 Service
Instructions 2100-669.
Cooling
Units equipped with an economizer will use one stage
of freecooling and up to three stages of mechanical
cooling to cool the space. The economizer will
always be prioritized first. When an economizer is not
installed or the conditions outside are not desirable
for cooling, the unit will use up to three stages of
mechanical cooling to cool the space. All 400V units
use a single capacity compressor for circuit 1, reducing
the mechanical cooling stages to two. The units will
use the staging differentials in Figure 17 and Figure
18 (page 16) by default. These differentials can be
configured on screen Cool Staging B3.
