  • Page 4: Understanding Operation Concept

    1. The MPCQ Platinum starts activating steam stages when the outside temperature falls below the Outdoor Cutoff (factory set to 55°F for the day and 40°F for the night, but fully adjustable). The MPCQ Platinum will continue to bring on more stages, and/or hold all the stages on, until the system pressure reaches the set point.

  • Page 5: Set Point Operation Concept

    OSS is used in fast reacting application as in process applications, where maintaining a set point is critical. The OSS utilizes the Throttle setting, as a mean to calculate the number of stages the MPCQ Platinum shall have on at any point. For every Throttle Range below the set point an additional stage shall be turned on/energized.

  • Page 6: Boost And Early Shutdown

    PID or Oversize (Control Logic) • The MPCQ Platinum can use an algorithm (PID) to look at the rate of change in the System. If the System pressure changes quickly, the MPCQ Platinum will turn on or off stages quickly. If the pressure changes are slow or minor, the MPCQ Platinum will react slowly.

  • Page 7: Making Sure You Have The Right Control

    Vacation • The MPCQ Platinum RINet (Internet controls only) can be set to have a third space target for a specified period. This can be used for vacation situation in schools. It offers the user a significant fuel savings during those periods.

  • Page 8: Installation

    • Remember that the upgrade to Internet or BACnet control requires adding a communication board and replacing the CPU board. • When connecting the MPCQ Platinum to an Extension Panel, connect the RS485 to the back of the MPCQ Platinum. Use the center RS485 terminals on the motherboard.

  • Page 9: Install The Sensors

    ALERT Determining the proper location for the Outdoor Sensor is very important. The MPCQ Platinum will base the heat on the outdoor temperature information it receives from this location. If the sensor is in the sun or covered with ice, its reading will be different from the actual Outdoor temperature (OD).

  • Page 10: Wiring

    SYSTEM Burner Stages Wiring • Each of the MPCQ Platinum outputs operates a single stage on a burner. The outputs are dry contacts only. They do not source any power. • Bring the boiler wires through one of the enclosure bottom knockouts.

    Any safety interlock MUST be wired back to the boilers or other equipment as required by code. ALERT The PROVE terminals must be shorted for MPCQ Platinum to provide heat. DO NOT remove the factory installed PROVE jumper unless replacing it with a Prove signal. Wiring Aux Input Terminals (Requires Internet Communication Package Upgrade) •...

  • Page 12: Wiring To An Extension Panel

    • Each Extension Panel has 8 Lockout inputs that can be used by the MPCQ Platinum when sequencing the boilers. • The first Lockout terminals on the first Extension panel will control the first MPCQ Platinum boiler, the boiler that has stage A as its first stage.

    SELECT Settings/System Settings/More Settings/Setback • When in Set Point Operating Mode, the MPCQ Platinum has two heat levels. The Day Time setting is for when a building is occupied and people are active. It follows that Day schedule. The Night Time settings hold a lower pressure set point when the building is unoccupied and it will follow the Night schedule.

  • Page 23: Stage Settings

    -- REACTION TIME ---- • After the MPCQ Platinum turns on a stage trying to meet a set point, it will not turn on another stage until the reaction time has elapsed. Then, if a stage is needed, it will be energized.

  • Page 24: Minimum Run Time

    Platinum brings on the Lead Stage, the Set Point is quickly exceeded and the MPCQ Platinum turns the Lead Stage off. • To prolong the run time during this type of condition, use the Last Stage Hold setting. The MPCQ Platinum will allow the system pressure to exceed the Set Point by the Last Stage Hold value before the Lead Stage is turned off.

  • Page 25: Lead Boiler And Rotation Settings

    • If Manual is selected, the Lead Boiler will not automatically rotate. • In Manual, whichever Boiler is presently the Lead will remain the Lead until there is a power failure. Then the MPCQ Platinum will revert to the lowest Boiler in Auto Mode.
