ENGINEERED FEATURES Touch Screen The MC5000 series controller incorporates a 6.2" x 3.5" touch screen interface for user interaction (see Figure 5). It is not necessary to use only fingers on this interface as the display will respond to pressure from almost any type of object.
Main Control Board (All MC5300 and MC5600 Models) The Main Control Board (P/N 8612-066) has connection points provided for one to three wall-mount air conditioners or heat pumps. Units can include optional mechanical dehumidification, electric heat strips, economizer and ventilation. Inputs are also provided for theft, vent, generator, emergency off and two remote temperature sensors. The shelter inputs (theft, vent, generator, emergency off and remote sensor 1 and 2) are connected to the main control board next to Unit 3 terminal strip.
Secondary Control Board (MC5600-C and MC5600-BC Models Only) The Secondary Control Board (P/N 8612-067) provides connection points for up to three additional wall-mount air conditioners or heat pump units labeled System 4, 5 and 6. All units can include optional mechanical dehumidification, electric heat strips, economizer and ventilation.
Main Alarm Board (MC5300-BC and MC5600-BC Models Only) The Main Alarm Board (P/N 8612-068) allows for Normally Open or Normally Closed dry contacts to be used for remote monitoring of equipment and the controller. The Main Alarm Board will be used only with either the MC5300-BC or MC5600-BC models to monitor alarms for Systems 1, 2 and 3.
Secondary Alarm Board (MC5600-BC Models Only) The Secondary Alarm Board (P/N 8612-069) allows for Normally Open or Normally Closed dry contacts to be used for remote monitoring of equipment and the controller. The Secondary Alarm Board will be used only with the MC5600-BC models to monitor alarms for Systems 4, 5 and 6.

Humidity Control Option Dehumidification Sequence Mechanical Sequence (see Figure 6) The controller will use terminal D for control of the dehumidification operation on each configured unit. The controller will energize D when dehumidification is required. Terminal D will be de-energized once dehumidification is no longer required or available.
Staging Synchronized Sequence (see Figure 7) The controller will use 50% of the configured units Staging in the MC5000 series controller can be for heating and 50% of the configured units for configured by the user in an alternating or non- cooling for Synchronized Dehumidification.

TROUBLESHOOTING Checking Remote (P/N 8408-061) or Extreme Conditions Local Temperature/Humidity Sensor If the temperature/humidity sensor is exposed to (P/N 8408-059) extreme conditions (in excess of 158°F or below -40°F) for an extended amount of time, the RH offset may vary One local temperature/humidity sensor (P/N 8408-059) (up to ±4%).
Checking Remote Temperature Sensor (P/N 8301-095) Outside Unit Circuit 1. Disconnect temperature sensor from board. 4. If sensor resistance reads very low, sensor is shorted and will not allow proper control. 2. Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the sensor.
Troubleshooting Alarms Low Temp Alarm This alarm indicates that there is a lower space temperature than is desired. The space temperature should be verified and compared to the controller reading. If the space temperature reading is incorrect ensure there is no offset applied and then the wiring to the temperature sensors installed should be verified.
Page 60
Ventilation Alarm This alarm indicates that the Vent inputs have continuity. The function of the device connected to the Vent inputs should be verified first. If all device functionality is correct and the alarm is still present the wiring between the device and controller should be checked. Prior to replacing the I/O board all wiring should be removed from the Vent inputs.
