    What to do if McQuay MicroTech II unit does not leave Fan Only and enter the Econo or Cooling operating state?

      Natalie WongNov 26, 2025
      If your McQuay Controller unit remains in Fan Only mode and won't switch to Econo or Cooling, check the Clg Status= parameter in the System menu. It should indicate “All Clg” or “Econo” for Econo mode, and “All Clg” or “Mech Clg” for Cooling mode. The unit does not enter the Econo or the Cooling operating state if the Clg Status= parameter indicates something other than “All Clg”, “Econo” or “Mech Clg.” Also, the current value of the Ctrl Temp= parameter must be above the Eff Clg Spt= by more than half the Clg Deadband= parameter in the Zone Cooling menu. If the current value of the Ctrl Temp= parameter is not above the Eff Clg Spt= by more than half the Clg Deadband= parameter in the Zone Cooling menu, the Eff Clg Spt= parameter must be adjusted accordingly to enable cooling operation.

    What to do if McQuay MicroTech II unit does not leave the Off Unoc operating state?
    • E
      Erica GonzalezDec 1, 2025
      If your McQuay Controller unit remains in the Off Unoc operating state, check the Occupancy = parameter in the Occupancy menu. If it indicates either “Occ” or “Bypass” and the unit remains in the Off Unoc operating state, the MCB is likely defective. Also, if the Occ Mode= parameter is set to “Unocc”, the unit starts only if unoccupied heating (night setback) or unoccupied cooling (night setup or purge) operation is active. If the Occ Mode= parameter is set to “Auto”, the unit starts only if at least one of the following are true: a) Field time clock terminals 101 to 102 on TB2 in the main control box are made (binary input MCB-BI1 is on). If any one of items a) through f) is true and the Occupancy= parameter in the Occupancy menu still indicates “Unocc” and the unit remains in the “Off Un...
