MCS-CONNECT has the ability to pull back both ‘STATIC’ and ‘LIVE GRAPH’ trending history for the
MicroMag controller it is monitoring.
The MicroMag controller captures history of the status for all RO, AO and SI points based on the setup of your
configuration file. Through MCS-Config, the user is also able to setup additional “USER LOGIC’ statements to
capture additional internal information for plotting.
All inputs & outputs are saved on an ongoing basic. There are 300 of the most current samples available
when requested. The time period covered is based on the sample time selected.
The chart below provides some indication of the time span covered based on the static time selected.
To pull back the current static data, from the status display in MCS-CONNECT, click the “Graph”
tab.
To pull back a ‘LIVE GRAPH’, click on the ‘LIVE GRAPH’ tab.

This Graph setup screen displays in tabbed pane at top of the screen: the RELAY OUTPUTS(RO), ANALOG
OUTPUT(AO), SENSOR INPUT(SI’s) or DIGITAL INPUT(DI’s) of all the points in this configuration file.
To add a point to the list that will be graphed, move the cursor to the check box next to the point you wish to
graph, and click. The name will be added to the Points to Graph list in the right screen of the popup and a
check mark will appear in the box. To remove an item from the list, click on the box to remove the check mark.
The item will be removed from the Points to Graph list.
When you are finished adding the points, you can click ‘Save Selected’, which will save all points for the con-
troller you are viewing. If you view another MCS controller you can setup the graph points so each time you
view the MCS controller your points for the graph will be loaded for that MCS controller.
Clicking ‘Graph Selected’ will plot the current selections in the graph.
The Y-Axis section contains the maximum and minimum setting for the Y-axis. The axis is divided proportion-
ally between these two points divided by the # of lines specified.
The Interval tab enables the interval to be changed. The time is recorded in seconds. Click on the
appropriate radio buttons in minutes or hours. The Seconds History Interval Box automatically updates in
seconds. (You may double click on the seconds box and put in a value as small as 2 seconds).
Save Selected- Clicking on this button will enable the current settings to be saved. If the settings are saved,
they will be active when the system is again accessed.

14.2. Power up
If the unit is not in a LOCKOUT condition, it will start in the Power Up stage. After completing this stage the
supply fan will be started. The fan will start and no other functions can be initialized until flow has been
established and the minimum supply startup time has passed.
14.3. Determine Building mode
The system will determine if the building is occupied or unoccupied. The configuration file can be setup to
use a schedule or an input to indicate occupied status. If unoccupied the night setback Setpoints will be ap-
plied. To view the current status you can do the following:
14.3.1 From MicroMag Display:
Press ‘MENU’ button
Press ‘ENTER’ button
Press ‘RIGHT’ button twice
14.3.2 From your laptop using MCS-CONNECT:
Using MCS-CONNECT connect to the MicroMag using the RS 485 port
If multiple units, select tab for this MicroMag and you will get a status display
In the control section, of the status display, in UNIT STATE is under MODE
14.4.1 OFF
The Unit Mode will be OFF if the unit has experience a safety condition resulting in a LOCKOUT or the unit
RUN/STOP indicates a STOP.
57
MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
For non-heat pump systems the first stage of heating will be activated. If staged type of heating the stages
will be added as heating is needed. Once a heating step is turned on a minimum on time can be specified in
the ROs information screen if needed, default is 0 time. If stage 1 is a variable type of heating the associated
analog output will be modulated to maintain the heating Setpoint value. If additional heating is required and
stage 1 is at its maximum then stage 2, if available, will be enabled. If less heating is required the system will
unload all heating steps in stage 2 prior to unloading stage 1.
For a heat pump system the first stage of heating will be the heat pump with the reversing valve on if the am-
bient conditions are met. The second stage of heating can be used if additional heating is required. The emer-
gency heating, if specified, can only be used if the heat pump is not functioning as the first stage of heating.
The unit will stay in this mode until the Ventilation Mode control temperature rises above the value of Setpoint
#219 plus its high zone value. The unit will enter a SWITCHING state when the system is leaving the heating
mode if any heating stages are on.
If the control temperature is less than the value of Setpoint #1 the reheat function of all circuits that are on will
be used to increase the control temperature.
For systems with multiple compressors per suction group, a compressor will be turned off or not allowed to be
turned on if a low suction condition exists for that circuit. This is accomplished by using the High SI Off sensor
in the Circuit SI screen.
The system will stay in this mode until the humidity decreases below the value of Setpoint 3 minus its low
zone or heating or cooling is required.

MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
14.5.1 Ignition
The high speed blower is turned on
The gas is turned on at 100%
When the supply temperature increases by more than the value in set
Point 100 (IGN SAFETY) the unit is moved to the Warm Up State. If we do not reach this within the time allot-
ted in Setpoint 100 we go into a safety. We will then wait for the safety time and try a second time. If we fail a
second time we will lockout this combustion module.
14.5.2 Warm up
We will remain in the Warm Up state for the time specified in Setpoint 101
14.5.3 Heating
After warm up the unit will be set to low blower speed and 10% gas.
If additional capacity is required the gas will be increased.
When the gas % is greater the Setpoint 107 the blower is moved to high Speed. At 40%, if
additional stages are available they are brought on andThe modulating units return to 10% and low
speed. If all stages are on and additional capacity is required the modulating units are increased to
100% as required. (This sequence is followed because it is the most energy Efficient.
14.6. Override Button
The override button is usually mounted on the right side of the Zone temperature sensor
housing. When in unoccupied mode (Scheduled off) and there is a need to go to occupied
mode pressing the override button for 1 to 2 seconds shifts the unit back to the occupied
mode for the time specified in Setpoint #36. (Override min)
14.7. Resets
There are three types of resets in the MicroMag, as follows:
14.7.1 MAX RESET (Setpoint #99)
This reset is inputted from the user. It can be a 0 to 5 vdc signal wired to a sensor input or a BMS communi-
cated.

First look for ‘ALARM NAME’ and compare the value received from the BMS to the chart named
Alarm Name. This will tell you what the alarm is. Then look at the Alarm Detail and compare the value
to the chart titled Alarm detail.
This will tell you the number of the referenced component, Setpoint, Sensor Input, Relay Output, or
Analog Output that is associated with that alarm.
If an alarm occurs that is NOT associated with a board point, Setpoint, Sensor Input, Relay Output, or
Analog Output, THEN THE ALARM DETAIL SHOULD BE A ‘1’ for N/A.
For Example:
There is a lockout reset performed:
Alarm Name = LCKOUT RESET which is a value of 18 Alarm Detail = N/A which is a value of 1
If an alarm occurs that is associated with a board point, compressor, condenser, Setpoint, or any
other numbered object then the Alarm Detail will be a numerical value from 2-151.
SI Fault Example:
There is an SI fault on the MicroMag at location M-8 Alarm Name = SI FLT @ which is a value of 12
Alarm Detail = M-8 which is a value of 159
There is a Setpoint change at Setpoint #99 Alarm Name = StptChg: which is a value of 7 -
Alarm Detail = #99 which is a value of 100.
72

MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
18.1.1 SETPOINT
This type of Setpoint contains a target or provides information for some action. The time element in this type can be
used for an additional counter if specified. This time is not displayed and cannot be changed through MCS-CONNECT
or from the keypad display.
Above columns are active when ‘SETPOINT’ is type, other columns cannot be changed
18.1.2 LOCKOUT
This type of Setpoint contains a safety value and the time that the safety must be violated before the safety will trip.
Once a safety has tripped the MicroMag will take the appropriate action, shutting down the entire package or an individual
compressor depending on the purpose of the safety. The MicroMag will then wait the Safety Down Time contained in
that Setpoint before trying to return the normal. If successful, the system will continue to operate. If a second trip occurs
on the same Setpoint with in the Lock Out Delay Time that is contained in that Setpoint the system will move to a LOCK-
OUT state. If the lockout delay time is set to zero the lockout will occur on the first trip. This requires manual intervention
to reset the system. With each safety trip, the MicroMag will generate an alarm; refer to section 8 MicroMag Alarms and
Safeties.
Sec. to ignore safety - If this value is not zero, at compressor startup this safety will be ignored for the time in this field.
Window to extend Safety ‘Time (sec)’ – If this value is not zero, at compressor startup the normal Safety Time will be
increased by the value in Safety Time Extension field for the time specified in this field.
Safety Time Extension (Sec) – This is the value that will be added to the Safety Time during the Window to extend
Safety Time period.
18.1.3 ALARM
This type of Setpoint has two uses:
1. When it is used as a safety, it will be similar to the LOCKOUT Setpoint except it will never cause a lock out.
The system will continue to try returning to normal operation after waiting the safety down time. An ALARM
Setpoint type will never require manual intervention to reset the system.
2. When the Setpoint is being used as a second timer it will be available to change in a live unit. If the type is not
changed to ALARM then the time field cannot be viewed or changed from a live unit.
Sec. to ignore safety - If this value is not zero, at compressor startup this safety will be ignored for the time in this field.
Window to extend Safety ‘Time (sec)’ – If this value is not zero, at compressor startup the normal Safety Time will be
increased by the value in Safety Time Extension field for the time specified in this field.
80
MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
Safety Time Extension (Sec) – This is the value that will be added to the Safety Time during the Window to extend
Safety Time period.
18.1.4 Time
This type of Setpoint allows the ‘Time (SEC)’ value to be displayed and modified in a live unit.
18.1.5 Target
This type of set point is used to develop a target with a high and low zone values.
The decimal characteristics of these values are the same as the Value field
High Zone – The value of this cell is added to the Value cell to create the high zone value.
Low Zone – The value of this cell is subtracted from the Value cell to create the low zone value.
Night Setback – If system has an unoccupied mode, this value is used to modify the value of the ‘Value’ cell.
18.1.6 Delay
This type of set point is used to develop a target with a high and low zone values.
The decimal characteristics of these values are the same as the Value field
High Zone – The value of this cell is added to the Value cell to create the high zone value.
Low Zone – The value of this cell is subtracted from the Value cell to create the low zone value.
Night Setback – If system has an unoccupied mode, this value is used to modify the value of the ‘Value’ cell.
81
MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
18.1.8 Warning
A warning alert is made active with this type of setpoint. Adjustments can be made to the following columns in MCS-
CONFIG.
18.1.9 Enable
Additional Columns in MCS-CONFIG will be ‘ENABLED’ when you choose this setpoint type.
• Window to extend safety – This value in seconds is the time window when the compressor starts
that the safety time extension is added to the safety time(sec) value.
• Safety time extension – This value is the time that is added to the time(sec) value during the
window to extend safety time(sec) time.
Example – Unsafe suction setpoint has a 3 second safety trip. So if we add a 120 to our window to extend
safety, we will then be telling the controller at startup we’re going to extend that 3 second safety trip for 120
seconds. This is where the Safety time extension comes into play. If we put a 6 in this field we’re telling the
controller for the first 120 seconds at startup we’re extending the safety trip time to 9 seconds (3 second
trip plus the 6 second extension). Once the 120 seconds expires we will then revert back to a 3 second trip time
for the duration of the compressors run time till the next startup.

MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
19.2. MCS-CONNECT
1. Using MCS-CONNECT, connect to the MicroMag using the RS485 port
2. If multiple units select tab for this MicroMag and you will get a status display
3. In the bottom of the control section, of the status display, select Setpoints
4. Only those setpoints that are set to active in your config program will be visible.
83
MicroMag RTU Manual- V18 Version 1.4
Within the MCS-MicroMag system, mathematical calculations and placement of decimal points are handled internally
and placed in the fields in the status window of MCS-CONNECT or MCS-KEYPAD.
Some calculations need certain numbers to show the correct value in
the TARGET field and to make the correct adjustment to a controlling
sensor.
This is true in the Target type of setpoints when we are looking at the
Temperature.
For example: If the setpoint is a target setpoint and the value is tem-
perature, the calculation calls for one decimal place and the value
is ‘‘F’ Fahrenheit or ‘C’ Celsius in the TARGET field as shown on
the right.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN ENTERING A NUMBER IN
THE ADJUST MULTIPLIER FIELD TO BRING YOUR CONTROLLING
SENSOR CLOSER TO THE TARGET YOU NEED TO ADD NUMBERS
IN THE 10’s because of the one decimal point in the ‘TEMP’ field.
If you are authorized, the adjustments to the controlling sensors can be made using MCS-CONNECT by opening the
setpoints tab and clicking in the ‘ADJ MULT. AND THE ADJ DIV. FIELDS’.
In the screen shot below, we show our Multiplier and Divisor adjusting the controlling sensor to within 5º of our TARGET as
was explained above.

Calculated Reset Temperature (°F)
110 USER RESET SETPOINT This Setpoint controls the target adjustment between holding the reset
button for three seconds.
Value: Amount in degrees to increment the temperature by.
Max: The maximum temperature that can be set from the user reset.
111 COOL RESET - TARGET When cooling is ENABLED, the cooling target will be decreased linearly
based on how far away the auto reset temperature is to cooling enable
target.
Value: The offset to the cool enable Setpoint (Setpoint #1 “COOL EN-
ABLE”).
Zone: Added and subtracted from the COOL RESET- value plus the cool
enable. If the sensor input for calculated reset is below the zone + value
+ cool enable Setpoint then no adjustment is made.
Max ROC: The maximum amount to decrease the cooling target by.

SETPOINT 72 –HI DISC RELD—After the specified time in High Discharge Unload the system will reload if the pressure
is met.
SETPOINT 86 –FREEZE TEMP—If the supply temperature goes below this value for the time specified the system goes
into a safety. Safety algorithms apply
112

SETPOINT 100 –IGN PROOF—This is the maximum time for ignition. If the supply temperature doesn’t rise enough
within the specified time the Gas module goes into a safety. S afety algorithms apply
SETPOINT 101 –MODGASWARMUP—Once ignition has been proved this is the amount of time the mod gas module
remains in warmup prior to standard control.
SETPOINT 102 –AUXHTMIN/MAX—This controls the minimum and maximum positions for the modulating gas valves.
Reheat
SETPOINT 106 –REHEAT FLUSH—If the reheat has run then a flush cycle will occur based on this time. If the unit is
in reheat and the demand is less than the setpoint vaue, t he unit will allow flushing. TimeA is the delay between flush
cycles, time B is the duration of the flush cycle (to 100% cooling) when the unit is in reheat, and time C is the duration of
the flush cycle ( to100% reheat) when the unit is in cooling.
SETPOINT 92 –HP AMB DEFR—When ambient is above this value the defrost cycle will be disabled.
SETPOINT 93 –DEF TERM TMP—When in defrost it will be terminated when this temp is reached.
SETPOINT 94 –MaxDefRunTim—Maximum time allowed to run in defrost.
SETPOINT 95 –WtdDefDur%—This is the % of the maximum defrost duration that the defrost algorithm controls to.
SETPOINT 96 –BtweenDefAdj—This is the number of seconds that will be added to or subtracted from SP #95 if the
defrost just completed is more time or less time than specified.
SETPOINT 97 –DelyBtwnDef—The system will wait after completing a defrost and starting the next for this time.
SETPOINT 98 –HPCndTrgOfst—Heatpump condenser offset. This provides a significant improvement in the amount
of heat being generated.
Head Pressure
SETPOINT 17 –COND TARGET PSI—This is the condenser target when in cooling mode. The +/- value defining the
zone is set based on ‘ZONE VALUE’
SETPOINT 18 –COND STP DLY—This defines the time between condenser adjustments.
