GENERAL
These instructions explain the operation, installation
and troubleshooting of the MD4000 Series controller.
All internal wiring is complete. Only attach low
voltage eld wiring to designated terminal strips.
The MD4000 is for use with units with economizers.
Each unit should be sized to handle the total load of the
structure if 100% redundancy is required.
The MD4000 controller is suitable for both 50 and 60
HZ operation. See Controller Programmable Features
and Default Settings.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The controller is used to control two wall mount air
conditioners from one control system. It provides total
redundancy for the structure and equal wear on both
units. It must be used with units with economizers and
both units be equipped alike.
The MD4000 controller is congured for alternative
(lead/lag/lead/lag) sequence, which is default setting.
The MD4000 works in conjunction with the Economizer
Logic Modules to provide room temperature control
based on the DC amp load that the building is using.
The Economizer Logic Modules, in the air conditioner,
control the cooling stages and functions. The MD4000
controls the heating stages, lead lag operation and
alarming operation for the system.
The MD4000 is equipped with the B alarm board.
Form C dry contact alarm relays are used, offering
both NO and NC switching to meet the user’s specic
alarm protocol, providing complete exibility to meet
any user's requirements. All alarm actuations are
individually indicated on the controller front panel.
There is an Ethernet based remote communication
option that can be either factory or eld installed. See
section on Communication Module.
