Troubleshooting
Program Overview
The
MP5010
programmable thermostat has four periods (MORN, DAY, EVE, NITE) that are customizable for each
day of the week. Each period will have a start time, heat temperature, cool temperature and programmable fan
option. The
MP5010
monitors the day and time, while maintaining the specific conditions you have chosen for each
period in your program.
Mode of Operation
The
MP5010
is a programmable, manual or auto changeover, single stage heat, single stage cool thermostat. It
functions with air conditioning, heat pumps, gas, oil or electric heat systems.
The thermostat activates the heating appliance when the room temperature is below the set heat temperature
(by the differential temperature) and the red indicator light (configurable) on the thermostat will light. The
MP5010
will stop outputting and the red light will turn off when the call for heat has been satisfied. With heat pumps, the
thermostat will not let the compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.
When the room temperature is greater than the set cool temperature (by the differential temperature), the cooling
device is activated and the green indicator light (configurable) on the thermostat will turn on. The
MP5010
will
stop outputting and the green light will turn off when the call for cooling is satisfied. The thermostat will not let the
compressor come on for 4 minutes after it turns off. This protects your compressor.
The
MP5010
has five possible operating modes:
OFF
,
Heat
,
Cool
,
Heat & Cool
, and
Program
mode. In off mode,
the thermostat will not turn on heating or cooling devices. The manual fan can be turned on in all operating modes
using the fan button. In heat mode, the thermostat controls the heating system. In the cool mode, the thermostat
controls the cooling system. In heat & cool mode, the thermostat controls both the heating and cooling systems. In
program mode, the thermostat will automatically be controlled by the set program. Program mode can function with
heat mode, cool mode, or heat & cool mode. The clock display alternates with the set temperature display for heat &
cool mode.
The programmable fan feature can be used to run the fan during occupied periods.
The program schedule can be overridden by changing the set temperature (up or down button). This puts the
MP5010
thermostat into a 2-hour temporary hold. After 2 hours, it will automatically return to the program schedule.
The
MP5010
also has a button lockout feature. This enables the thermostat to be set to the proper mode and
temperature and locked so it cannot be tampered with.

ARC Detection Technology
This thermostat comes enabled with ICM Controls’ patent-pending Abnormal Rate of Change (ARC) detection
technology that helps deter tenants from attempting to “trick” the thermostat into a false reading. Upon sensing an
abnormal rise or drop in temperature, the thermostat operation will automatically default into a lockout sequence.
The display will show
Err
for an abnormal RISE in temperature, or
Erd
for an abnormal DROP in temperature.
When the thermostat returns to normal operation, the error message can be cleared with the press of any button.
