Vacation Schedule (Available with Internet Control Only)

• This feature gives the user the ability to provide a lower-than-night space target between two specified date-time combinations.

This provides additional savings for schools and office buildings to use in long holiday periods. See "Vacation Schedule Setting"

on page 30.

Space Sensor Feedback (Available with Internet Control Only)

• For better control and much more energy saving capabilities you can add wireless or wired space sensors to the MPC Platinum to

fine tune its operation and increase the system's overall efficiency. When you add space sensors to the space average, the MPC

Platinum checks the space average before the beginning of each cycle to determine if the building is sufficiently heated. See

"Space Lockout" on page 28.

System Output

• The system output relay connects to and operates a combustion air-damper or other boiler room equipment and it will energize

whenever there is a call for the boiler. In addition, if you connect the combustion air-damper's end-switch to the Prove input

terminals, it will stop the boiler from firing if the damper is not fully open. See "Installation" on page 8.

Boost and Early Shutdown

• The boost returns the building to its Day (Normal) heat level after Night (Setback) heat level. It does it by running the burner

or valve output for a period of time that depends on the outside temperature. It offers an adjustable curve parameter to tune its

operation to the specific building. See "Boost Mode" on page 26.

• The Early Shutdown feature shifts the Day schedule 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 MPC Platinum shifts to

Night Setback. See "Early Shutdown Curves" on page 27.

Remote Communication

• The MPC Platinum is upgradable to Internet, BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, or MODBUS communication to allow monitoring and

controlling of all of its functions from a remote location. Only the Internet communication package allows the MPC Platinum to

accept a variety of additional sensor inputs to monitor their status and provide web, E-Mail, or text message alarms under specified

adjustable conditions.
