damage is found, the receiving party must contact
the last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent.
GENERAL
These instructions explain the operation, installation
and troubleshooting of the MC4002 controller.
All internal wiring is complete. Only attach low voltage
eld wiring to designated terminal strips.
The MC4002 is for use with units with or without
economizers, can be congured for use with heat
pumps, and has a dehumidication control feature
if an optional humidity controller is connected.
Dehumidication control cannot be used with heat
pump.
Each unit should be sized to handle the total load of
the structure if 100% redundancy is required.
It is recommended that a 5-minute compressor time
delay relay be installed in each unit if not so equipped.
The MC4002 controller is suitable for both 50 and
60 HZ operation, and is fully congurable such that it
can be used in virtually any installation. See Controller
Programmable Features and Default Settings.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The controller is used to control two wall mount air
conditioners from one control system. It provides
total redundancy for the structure and equal wear on
both units. It can be used with units with or without
economizers and it is recommended that both units be
equipped alike.
The MC4002 controller can be congured for
alternative (lead/lag/lead/lag) sequence, which is
default setting. It can be changed to non-alternating
(lead/lead/lag/lag) sequence as required for special
applications or user preference.
The MC4002 can be equipped with one of two alarm
boards, and these can be factory-installed or installed
at any time in the eld if so desired.
Should the base controller alone be initially installed,
it is easily upgradeable by simple snap-in, plug-in eld
installation of either one of the alarm boards, requiring
only the connection of the building alarm circuitry
to the alarm boards. Form C dry contact alarm relays
are used, offering both NO and NC switching to meet
the user’s specic alarm protocol, providing complete
exibility to meet any user's requirements. All alarm
actuations are individually indicated on the controller
front panel.
