Communication
• The MPCQ Platinum is available as a stand alone or with one of the communication options. Each of the communication options
requires the purchase of the control with that specific remote communication option or the upgrade of the control.
• An Internet communication option (MPCQ Platinum RINet) provides the user with access to modify control settings, add space sensors
and other sensors, e-mail alarms and reports, view history, and much more.
• A BACnet communication option (MPCQ Platinum BAC) provides the user with the capability of changing settings and
communicating over a BACnet IP network. The same control can be used with Fieldserver and other gateways to communicate
over a multitude of protocols. Contact Heat-Timer to find out about the possibility of interfacing to other protocols.

• The MPCQ Platinum can be controlled remotely through the Internet or a BACnet
network. The Internet communication is started by creating an account using the Heat-
Timer Internet Control Management System (ICMS) website (http://www.htcontrols.
com). After the account is approved, the user can create the building where the control
will reside. Then when the control communicates, he can assign the control to the
building. Visit the ICMS website for additional help information.

• The Space lockout is a major energy saving feature that disables the MPCQ Platinum from starting another heating cycle when the
space average is at or exceeds the Day or Night Space targets.
• The Space Lockout is required to be set to On to be able to use Space sensors for Day Target and Night Target. This option can be
set when the MPCQ Platinum has the Internet communication packages.
• At least one space sensor with Space Average activated must be configured through the Internet to utilize the Space Lock.
However, Heat-Timer recommends a minimum of four sensors but should have approximately one sensor in 10% of the total units..

SELECT
Settings/System Settings/More Settings/Remote Interface/Day Target
• For the Day Target to be used, Space Lock must be enabled.
• The Day Target is the space temperature the MPCQ Platinum will try to reach during the Boost period (Day #1 setting) when
coming out of the Night Time setting.
• During the Day schedule, the MPCQ Platinum will check the Space Average temperature before starting a new heating cycle. If it
was below the Day Target, the MPCQ Platinum will start another heating cycle. Otherwise, the control will go into Space Lockout
and no other heating cycles will start unless the Space Average drops below the Day Target.

• For the Nighty Target to be used, Space Lock must be enabled.
• The Night Target is the space temperature the MPCQ Platinum will try to reach during the Early Shutdown ESD period when
switching from the Day setting.
• During the Night schedule, the MPCQ Platinum will check the Space Average temperature before starting a new heating cycle.
If it was below the Night Target, the MPCQ Platinum will start another heating cycle. Otherwise, the control will go into Space
Lockout and no other heating cycle will start unless the space average drops below the Day Target.
• If Boost with ESD was enabled, during the Early Shutdown while the space average is above the Night Target, the control will be
in Fast Cool Down where it will not start another cycle until the Space Average temperature drops below the Night Target.
