Installing and Changing Batteries
For Battery Thermostat Operation
If your LCD is blank, or displaying LO BAT, the batteries are not installed or
need to be changed. We suggest you change the batteries at least once a year,
or whenever the LO BAT warning displays.
Remove the cover, and install the two "AAA" alkaline batteries into the battery
compartment. Proper battery installation is important! Make sure the positive
ends of the batteries match the positive terminals in the battery compartment.
For Hardwired Thermostat Operation
Batteries are not required when a common wire is connected to the C terminal of the MP2010L
thermostat.
Configuration Mode
The configuration mode is used to set the MP2010L to match your system.
To configure the MP2010L, perform the following steps:
1. Verify the MP2010L is in the OFF mode.
Slide the system switch to the center position until off mode displays.
2. Remove the cover of the thermostat by gently pulling near one of the
corners at the top of the thermostat.
3. Press both the LEFT and RIGHT switches for 1 second while the MP2010L is in OFF mode.
Press the up or down button to change settings within each screen.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
Note: Pressing the LEFT switch will return you to the previous screen.
To exit configuration mode, press both the LEFT and RIGHT switches for 1 second or slide the mode
switch to heat or cool.
Configuration Mode Settings
The setup screens for Configuration Mode are as follows:
1. Temperature Scale (F or C) – Choose Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Press the up or down button to select.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
2. Temperature Differential (1°F to 5°F) (1°C to 3°C) – Set the number
of degrees between your "setpoint" temperature and your "turn on"
temperature.
Press the up or down button to set differential value.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
3. Heat Pump and Non-Heat Pump – Set to heat pump, or non-heat pump
system. For heat pumps, there will be a compressor time delay for heating
and cooling.
• 1 = Heat pump system
• 0 = Non-heat pump system
Press the up or down button to select.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
4. Maximum Heat Setpoint (45°F to 75°F) (7°C to 24°C)
Adjust to control the maximum heat set temperature allowed.
Press the up or down button to select.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
5. Minimum Cool Setpoint (70°F to 90°F) (21°C to 32°C)
Adjust to control the minimum cool set temperature allowed.
Press the up or down button to select.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
6. Room Temperature Offset (+9°F to -9°F) (+5°C to -5°C)
Adjust to calibrate displayed room temperature to match actual room
temperature (must be adjusted before permanent lock).
Press the up or down button to select.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
7. Placebo Feature – Set point can be set to wide range but they will be
controlled to maximum heat set point and minimum cool set point.
0 = Feature OFF
1 = Feature ON
Press the up or down button to select.
Press the RIGHT switch to advance to the next screen.
8. Permanent Lock Screen
Hold up and down button until counter reaches 0 to permanently lock
configuration screens.
!!! VERY IMPORTANT !!!
Configuration screens #4 to #8 can't be changed after they are permanently
locked. To reconfigure, a locked thermostat must be returned to ICM Controls
for reprogramming, which involves a fee.
9. Back Light – (0 or 1)
0 = Back light never on (best for long battery life)
1 = Back light on when button pressed
Press the up or down button to select.
To exit configuration mode, press both the LEFT and RIGHT switches for 2 seconds or slide the
mode switch to heat or cool.
Operating Modes
OFF Mode
• In this mode, the thermostat will not turn on the heating or cooling devices (manual fan can operate)
• OFF mode is also used to access the configuration screens
Cool Mode
• In this mode, the thermostat controls the cooling system
Heat Mode
• In this mode, the thermostat controls the heating system
ARC Detection Technology
This thermostat comes enabled with ICM Controls' patent-pending Abnormal Rate of Change
(ARC) detection technology that helps deter tenants from attempting to "trick" the thermostat into a
false reading. Upon sensing an abnormal rise or drop in temperature, the thermostat operation will
automatically default into a lockout sequence. The display will show Err for an abnormal RISE in
temperature, or Erd for an abnormal DROP in temperature. When the thermostat returns to normal
operation, the error message can be cleared with the press of any button.
Troubleshooting
Symptom
No display
Check for 24 VAC at thermostat; display is blank when 24 VAC
is not present or if batteries are completely discharged

First button press activates backlight only when back light is
press
configured "ON" (see Configuration Mode Setting 9)
Heat or Cool not working
RC/RH jumper must be installed on single transformer systems
For heat pumps, Non-HP jumper must be on HP pins

Adjust temperature differential
frequently
(see Configuration Mode Setting 2)
Fan runs continuously
Slide FAN switch to auto to turn fan off
#4 to #8 configuration screens
Thermostat has the permanent lockout function activated
not available
(see Lockout Feature and Configuration Mode Setting 8)
Heat or Cool not coming on
Verify wiring is correct, verify RC/RH jumper is in place (for
single transformer system)
Err or Erd on display
Abnormal Rate of Change (ARC) detected. Thermostat defaults
into lockout sequence. When normal operation resumes, error
message can be cleared with press of any button
