escription

 

The Marvair MPC-10 is an HVAC controller designed to control up to ten air 

conditioners, that can be either single or dual compressor, for equipment enclosures. 

In addition to the control of the air conditioners, the MPC-10 provides alarms 

remotely, through BACnet or Modbus, and locally using a built-in Human Machine 

Interface (HMI). The controller is factory programmed with standard industry set 

points, but can be configured on site or remotely. Settings are retained indefinitely 

in the event of a power loss.

 

Control Up to Ten Air Conditioners in a Shelter

The MPC-10 offers the ability to stage cooling and heating operation for both 

dual and single circuit PLC equipped units. This gives the controller a maximum 

of 20 stages of cooling for dual circuit units, 10 stages of cooling for single 

circuit units, and 10 stages of heating. 

 

Ease of Control and Configuration

The MPC-10 comes standard with a 7-inch color touchscreen HMI which provides 

a user-friendly interface. From the main screen of the HMI the user can see room 

conditions, HVAC status for each unit, and change cooling/heating set points. 

The statuses that can be displayed for each unit are as follows: Cooling, Heating, 

Blower, Fault, Standby, Shutdown, and T-Stat Off. If a fault occurs an alarm 

window will pop-up that displays a description of the alarm, the time/date at 

which it occurred, and the current status of the alarm. Along with the pop-up an 

alarm button will appear which allows the user to minimize/maximize the alarm 

window. The alarms will be maintained until the fault is fixed and the alarm is 

cleared. 
The initial setup of the MPC-10 will be done from the built-in HMI. During this 

process the user will input the number of units, whether the units are dual or 

singe circuit, and the desired communication protocol. Once the initial setup is 

complete all other parameters can be changed, at any time, from the 2nd page of 

the HMI (F2 Button) or remotely.
