Initial Setup

MT1554A  

1.

Referring to the drawing on page 32 (as was mentioned in the previous section), 
attach the small decals that are included with the control to the numbered toggle 
switches on the face of the control. The names of the devices (TUN FAN, EXH 
FAN, HT ZONE, COOL, etc.) have to be associated with the switch numbers 
which in turn correspond to the relay numbers. This step cannot be avoided. The 
control requires that the relay numbers be associated with names. These names 
define what the output relays do during the various modes of operation and 
temperature conditions.

2.

Answer all questions and adjust all settings in Screen #12. In this screen the relay 
numbers are associated with the output names in the drawing on page 32. This 
must be done first in that the other screen’s contents are affected by the answers 
and settings of Screen #12.

3.

Answer all questions, and adjust settings in Screens # 2,3,4,5,7,8,9, and 10.

4.

Recheck all screens to verify everything is as desired.

5.

Answer “yes” to the third question in Screen #11. This will save these settings as 
the installation settings.

While going through the setup steps, place manual switches in “Off” 
position until the process is completed.

Ignore alarms until setup process is completed. Then reset alarm 
system as described in Alarms section of this manual.
