The ICM Controls MP2010L is a non-programmable managed property thermostat designed for residential and light commercial heating and cooling systems. It offers a straightforward interface and several features tailored for property management, including configurable temperature set points and a patented Abnormal Rate of Change (ARC) Detection Technology to prevent tampering. The thermostat is compatible with single-stage heat/cool and heat pump systems, and can be used with gas, oil, or electric heating sources. It can be powered by either 2 "AAA" batteries or hardwired to the system, with an optional common wire connection for hardwired setups.
The MP2010L functions as a central control unit for managing indoor temperature. Users can select between heating, cooling, or an "OFF" mode, which disables both heating and cooling but allows manual fan operation. The thermostat features a large display with a backlight for easy readability, and users can choose to display temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
A key feature is the Abnormal Rate of Change (ARC) Detection Technology. This patented system monitors temperature changes and, if it detects an abnormal rise or drop (suggesting tampering to trick the thermostat), it will initiate a lockout sequence. During this lockout, the display will show "Err" for an abnormal rise or "Erd" for an abnormal drop. Once normal operation resumes, the error message can be cleared by pressing any button. This helps property managers maintain consistent temperature control and prevent energy waste due to tenant manipulation.
The thermostat also includes a "Placebo Option," which allows the set point to be configured over a wide range, but the actual control will adhere to predefined maximum heat and minimum cool set points. This can give occupants the perception of more control while still enforcing property-specific temperature limits.
The MP2010L is designed for ease of use with simple up and down buttons for temperature adjustment and a mode switch to select between heat, cool, and off. The fan can be set to run continuously or automatically with the system.
Configuration of the thermostat is done through a dedicated "Configuration Mode." This mode is accessed by setting the system switch to "OFF" and pressing both the LEFT and RIGHT buttons simultaneously. Within this mode, property managers can customize various settings:
The thermostat also incorporates a patented Thermal Intrusion Barrier, which helps improve temperature sensing accuracy by minimizing the impact of drafts or temperature fluctuations from within the wall cavity.
For battery-powered operation, the MP2010L will display "LO BAT" when the batteries need to be changed. It is recommended to replace the two "AAA" alkaline batteries at least once a year or whenever the low battery warning appears. Proper orientation of the batteries is crucial.
For hardwired installations, batteries are not required if a common wire is connected to the "C" terminal.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided in the manual for common issues such as a blank display, inoperative buttons, or the system not heating/cooling. This includes checking for 24 VAC power, verifying wiring, checking jumper positions (Gas/Electric, RC/RH, Non-HP/HP), adjusting temperature differential, and replacing batteries. The ARC detection system's "Err" or "Erd" messages are also addressed, indicating a lockout due to abnormal temperature changes. A reset button is available, which clears error messages but does not alter configuration settings.
