MCD 500 PCB Replacement - Instructions 

Overview 

This document describes how to replace the LCP (Local Control Panel) and main control PCB in MCD 500 soft 
starters (all models). 

 

N.B.! 
Many electronic components are sensitive to static electricity. Voltages so low that they cannot be felt, 
seen or heard, can reduce the life, affect performance, or completely destroy sensitive electronic 
components. When performing service, proper ESD equipment should be used to prevent possible 
damage from occurring. 

Instructions 

Remove all wiring and links from the soft starter before dismantling the unit.  Disassemble the unit according 
to the instructions below. 

After reassembling the unit, apply control voltage and check that the welcome screen displays correctly. 

1.  Models MCD5-0021B ~ MCD5-0105B  

Remove the top cover and terminal blocks from 
the starter. Undo the 5 x Torx screws holding the 
top plastic in place. Remove the top plastic. 

 

Lift off the LCP and main control PCB assembly. 

Label each SCR firing loom with the number of the 
corresponding phase terminal on the main control 
PCB, then unplug the looms.  Unplug the 
thermistor, fan (on selected models) and CT wires 
from the main control PCB. Remove the existing 
LCP and main control PCB and replace with the 
new LCP/PCB. 

 

Plug in the looms, replace 5 x Torx screws, top 
cover and terminal plugs.
