2.2. About the MCS-MAGNUM
2.3. About PC Support Software for MCS-MAGNUM
MCS-CONNECT program provides both local and remote communications to the MCS-MAGNUM. Through
this program the status of the controller can be viewed and with proper authorization changes can be made
to the system. Confi guration fi les can be transmitted to or received from an MCS-MAGNUM unit. The MCS-
MAGNUM automatically performs history logging; this program will graph selected items. This program is
written in the Java programming language. A general user’s manual is available with this software package.
This program runs under Windows 7 or greater and makes use of the Microsoft Windows Help function to as-
sist the user.

2. Introduction to Multiaqua and MCS-Magnum
A multi heat source/sink capable refrigerant management system designed to satisfy the Heating & Cooling
requirements of the global residential and commercial markets including, but not limited to, new construction,

2.1. About the Multiaqua Heat reclaim chiller (MHRC)
The MHRC is currently available in 5 ton nominal size and scalable to 100 tons in air cooled confi guration .
Variable speed and Variable capacity Digital scroll compressors allow the system to modulate its capacity to
match the Heating and or Cooling requirements. The MHRC is a self-contained machine with no add-on mod-
ule requirements or additional assembly needed to simultaneously heat and cool water (SHC) or indepen-
dently make hot or cold water. The Multiaqua MHRC is designed with great care to provide easy servicing by
incorporating readily available components and diagnostics.
The MCS-MAGNUM is a rugged microprocessor based controller that is designed for the hostile environment
of the HVAC industry. It is designed to provide primary control, no mechanical controls; interface with building
management systems; communicate both locally and remotely. The MCS-MAGNUM provides fl exibility with
setpoints and control options that can be selected prior to commissioning a system or when the unit is live
and functioning. Displays, alarms and other interfaces are accomplished in a clear and simple language that
informs the user as to the status of the controller.
The MCS-MAGNUM is designed to safeguard the system that is being controlled, eliminate the need for
manual intervention and to provide a simple but meaningful man-machine-interface.
This family of equipment can be combined with groundwater or earth loops for enhanced effi
ciency operation.
It can also be combined with solar thermal or natural gas for low cost and extreme cold weather
applications. Low starting amperage makes the MHRC2 particularly compatible with solar/battery power
systems.
