Introduction The Multi Use Controller (MUC) is an intelligent easy to install wall mounted device that is a constant speed controller used to safely exhaust or provide supply air to gas or solid fuel fired fireplaces and heating appliances. Designed for use with electronically...
MUC IOM Component List The MUC system is made up of several components dependent on the application: 1. MUC Controller 2. System Application Components a. GF : gas fireplace system i. Draft inducer / vent fan 1. VFD included with induction motors ii.
MUC and be careful not to damage any components. The MUC is removed by pressing the enclosure base to unsnap the latch near the bottom edge, then the MUC can be lifted out of the base. Sit the MUC aside until the base is mounted.
MUC IOM Electrical The MUC may be wired for different applications. Review the supplied wiring diagram(s) and verify the application before attempting to connect the MUC to any associated components or equipment. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.

MUC IOM Power Connections The MUC requires a 24 VDC power supply to operate. The device has a half-wave type power supply so the power supply common is the same as the output signal common. Several devices may be connected to one power supply and share the same signal common.
To remove the battery tray from the battery holder on the MUC simply push on either the bottom or top battery tray tab to pop the tray slightly out from the battery holder on the MUC and then pull the tray out from the battery holder as illustrated in figure 3.
MUC IOM GFS Differential Air Pressure Switch Installation Systems with a gas heating appliance or gas log set require a GFS differential air pressure switch to prove fan function and available draft in the venting system. Mounting Check the pressure switch for damages. Do not use if damaged! Do not mount the pressure switch on uneven, hot, or vibrating surfaces! Do not tighten the screws too much, in order to avoid deforming of the device’s base.

MUC IOM CS75 Current Switch for Supply Fan Installation The CS75 current switch monitors line current of the supply fan for proof of operation. The switch closes the output contacts and energizes an onboard LED when the adjustable trip point is exceeded. The CS75 factory set trip point is 0.75A with a maximum adjustment range between 0.75 to 75A.

Test setting using a voltmeter across the contacts to verify switch operation. Disable the MUC controller. The supply fan should go into standby mode. The CS contacts should open and the LED off. If not readjust the CS switch and retest. After passing this test the CS is now set to detect the supply fan operational condition.
MUC IOM GFS Differential Air Pressure Switch for Supply Fan Installation The GFS differential air pressure switch can be used as an alternate or complementary device to the CS75 current switch for supply fan applications. The GFS differential air pressure switch monitors outlet pressure of the supply fan for proof of operation.

MUC IOM GFS Pneumatic Connections for Supply Fan (continued) Pneumatic Connections Remove plastic shipping cap(s) from the pressure port(s) on the end of the enclosure labeled P1(+) and P2(-) (Figure 10). Option 1: Connect the tubing between the pressure probe on the discharge side of the supply fan outlet or duct and the P1(+) on the GFS (Figure 11).

MUC IOM GFS Differential Air Pressure Switch for Supply Fan (continued) Switching Pressure Adjustment Caution, danger to life! Make absolutely sure that no voltage is applied to the electrical connections, before any settings on the pressure switch are carried out. Set the desired pressure, which trips the switch at increasing pressure, on the setting button using a screwdriver.
Run Mode 2 (Enable Input) When the MUC Enable input terminal is energized and the slide pot is >2VDC it will turn on the green LED and energize the damper relay to the closed position.
During Fail Mode, an override (Mute/Silence) switch, when depressed will deactivate the audio buzzer for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes if the MUC is still in Fail Mode, the audio buzzer will be activated. Muted audio alert mode will flash the red LED with a 50% duty cycle.

Mode. A total loss of power will result in the gas relay and the damper relay going into the normally open positions thus disabling the gas valve actuator and damper actuator. If the MUC was in the Off Mode at the start of a power loss event, the MUC will not enter Back Up Mode.
The MUC has an Enable terminal point that receives a constant 24VDC signal for normal operation but if disconnected by a remote switch the MUC immediately disables the gas relay. After a 60 second delay the MUC enters the OFF mode without regard to the slide pot position.
