Getting Started

The MicroTech II Applied Rooftop Unit Controller is a self-

contained device that is capable of complete, stand-alone

operation. Information in the controller can be displayed and

modified by using the keypad/display in the unit main con-

trol panel.

The following sections describe how to use the keypad/dis-

play.

Using the Keypad/Display

The keypad/display, shown in Figure 1, is provided with all

MicroTech II Applied Rooftop Unit Controllers on these

units. With the keypad/display, operating conditions, system

alarms, control parameters, and schedules can be monitored.

After password entry, set points, parameters, and schedules

can be edited.

Menu Structure

The keypad accessible information in the MicroTech II con-

troller is organized in a menu structure to provide quick

access. As shown in Figure 2 on page 7, this structure con-

tains 1 main menu and a string of 47 sub-menus. Each sub-

menu is made up of one or more menu items. The string of

47 sub-menus is divided into 8 “categories.” The main menu

has eight items within it that “point” or provide a “book-

mark” to the first sub-menu within the respective category.

The eight categories in the main menu are “System Sum-

mary”, “Airflow”, “Temperature”, “Humidity”, “Schedules”,

“Setup/Service”, “Active Alarms” and “Previous Alarms.”

The name of each category generally describes the basic pur-

pose of the menus in the particular group. Complete infor-

mation regarding the contents of each sub-menu is included

in “Keypad/Display Menu Reference” on page 13.

Display Format

The information stored in the MicroTech II controller menu

structure can be viewed on the 4-line by 20-character LCD

display. The current menu is displayed on the top line and up

to three menu items are displayed on the next three lines

(refer to Figure 3). The item lines contain one or more data

fields that convey varying information. A blinking cursor

indicates the current item. There is a “navigation” indicator

on the right side of the top line while in navigation mode.

A symbol indicates there are more items in the menu

“above” the current display window. A symbol indicates

there are more items in the menu “below” the current display

window. A symbol indicates there are more items in the

menu “above” and “below” the current display window.

Password Protection

The MicroTech II controller includes password protection to

guard against inadvertent control parameter changes. When

an attempt is made to change the value of an adjustable

parameter with the keypad, the controller prompts the user to

enter either the level 2 (L-2) or level 1 (L-1) password

depending on the level required for that particular parameter.

The L-2 password is 4545. The L-1 password is 6555.

Note: L-2 has a “higher” level of authority than L-1. The

controller prompts for the password by displaying

the following:

Figure 4: Password Protection

The password fields initially has values off 5555 in them.

The first field is blinking. For example, to change the pass-

word to 4545 and enter the new value, the following proce-

dure is used:

1. Pressing the Down Arrow (-) key one time decrements

the first field (blinking) to a value of 4.

2. Pressing the Right Arrow key one time moves the blink-

ing cursor to the second field.

3. Again pressing the Right Arrow key one time (the sec-

ond field will not be changed in this example) moves the

blinking cursor to the third field.

4. Pressing the Down Arrow (-) key one time decrements

the third field (now blinking) to a value of 4.

5. Now the four fields should be 4545, the desired pass-

word. Pressing the Enter/Save key enters the password.

If the correct password is entered, the display returns to the

item to be changed and the changeable item field is blinking

waiting to be modified.

Password Timeout

Once the password is entered, the controller allows further

changes without prompting the user to enter a password until

either the password timer expires or a different password

level is required for the particular parameter to be changed.

The password timer is adjustable from 2-60 minutes using

the Timeout= parameter in the Passwords menu.

Clear Alarm Password

Normally clearing an active alarm does not require a pass-

word entry. This is true if the Clear Alarm= item in the Pass-

words menu is set to “None.” However, if this parameter is

set to “L-1” the controller prompts the user to enter the level

1 password before an alarm can be cleared. If this parameter

is set to “L-2” the controller prompts the user to enter the

level 2 password before an alarm can be cleared. For details

regarding alarm clearing, refer to “Keypad/Display Exer-

cises” on page 11.

Keypad Functions

The MicroTech II controller keypad consists of 8 pressure

sensitive membrane switches. Refer to Figure 1 on page 6.

The following are descriptions of these keys and their

functions.

Left Arrow Key:

Pressing this key changes the displayed menu one menu to

the left while navigating within the menu structure. It also

changes the field to be edited one field to the left while edit-

ing a parameter value.

Right Arrow Key:

Pressing this key changes the displayed menu one menu to

the right while navigating within the menu structure. It also

changes the field to be edited one field to the right while

editing a parameter value.

Up Arrow (+) Key:

Pressing this key changes the displayed menu or menu item

up one menu or menu item while navigating within the menu

structure. It also increments a changeable parameter one

value while editing.

Down Arrow (-) Key:

Pressing this key changes the displayed menu or menu item

down one menu or menu item while navigating within the

menu structure. It also decrements a changeable parameter

one value while editing.

Back/Cancel Key:

Pressing this key while navigating within the menu structure

changes the displayed menu back to the main menu. While

editing a changeable parameter, pressing this key causes the

edit session to be terminated and the parameter value reverts

to the value it had before beginning the editing session.

Pressing this key after having pressed the Alarm key to view

an active alarm causes the display to revert to the menu that

was in the display prior to pressing the Alarm key. Pressing

this key while at the main menu causes a manual password

log off and resets the password timer.

Enter/Save Key:

Pressing this key while viewing a menu on the main menu

changes the displayed menu to the first menu of the menu

group or category associated with that menu. Pressing this

key while viewing a changeable menu item places the key-

pad into “edit” mode. The first changeable field for that

parameter begins blinking and the top line of the display is

replaced with **Edit Mode, indicating the “edit” mode is

activated. Once a parameter is changed in “edit” mode,

pressing this key “saves” the new parameter value into mem-

ory. When the new parameter value is saved, the changeable

field or field stops blinking and the **Edit Mode message

disappears from the top line of the display, indicating the

keypad is no longer in “edit” mode.

Alarm Key:

Pressing this key while the red LED above it on the keypad

is blinking changes the displayed menu to the Active Alarm

1 menu.

Clear Alarm Key:

Pressing this key while any of the active alarm menus are

being displayed sends a clear command to clear the alarm.

Keypad/Display Exercises

The following are three exercises that serve as a guide

through some typical keypad operations. Note that often

there is more than one way to perform an operation.

Changing Set Points

In this exercise, assume that the current minimum outdoor

air damper position set point is 15%. Using the following

procedure, the set point is changed to 10%.

1. Pressing the Back/Cancel key changes the display back

to the main menu if not already there.

12 OM 138

2. Assuming the blinking cursor is positioned on the Sys-

tem Summary menu, pressing the Down Arrow (-) key

twice changes the cursor position to the Temperature

menu.

3. Pressing the Enter/Save key changes the display to the

Zone Cooling menu, the first menu in the Temperatures

group of menus.

4. Pressing the Right Arrow key three times changes the

display to the OA Damper menu. The cursor is posi-

tioned on the first item within this menu which is the OA

Damper Pos= item.

5. Pressing the Down Arrow (-) key six times moves the

display down six items in the menu and positions the

cursor on the MinOA Pos= item.

6. When the Enter/Save key is pressed and if the password

timer has expired since the last time the password was

entered, the controller prompts the user to enter a pass-

word at this point. The procedure outlined above in

“Password Protection” on page 10 must be followed to

enter the password. Once the password has been suc-

cessfully entered, the display enters the “edit” mode as

show below.

When the Enter/Save key is pressed and if a password

entry is not required, the display simply enters the “edit”

mode as shown below.

Note: The Menu Line has been replaced by the “**Edit

Mode” indication message, the cursor has disap-

peared and the date field to be edited is blinking.

7. Pressing the Down Arrow (-) key once decrements the

current MinOA Pos= value by one percent. Pressing and

holding the Down Arrow (-) causes the value to decre-

ment rapidly.

8. When the MinOA Pos= parameter is at the desired value

(10% in this example), pressing the Enter/Save key

stores the new setting and terminates the edit session.

Note: The data field stops blinking when the new value is

recorded and the display leaves the “edit” mode.

Clearing Alarms

In this exercise, assume that a “fault” alarm exists. This type

of alarm shuts down the unit and keeps it off until the alarm

is manually cleared. If the conditions that caused the alarm

have been corrected, the following procedure is used to clear

a fault.

1. Pressing the Alarm key while the red LED on the key-

pad is blinking (indicating an active alarm condition)

changes the displayed menu to the Active Alarm 1 menu

which displays the current highest priority alarm.

2. Pressing the Clear Alarm key sends a clear command to

the controller. This clears the alarm and returns the unit

to normal operation.

Modifying Schedules

In this exercise, assume that a change in building occupancy

requires the rooftop unit to run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

on Sunday. The current schedule has the unit shut down on

Sunday. Using the following procedure, this schedule is

changed accordingly. This procedure assumes that the pass-

word has previously been entered and the password timer

has not expired.

Note: The time schedule and time clock in the MicroTech

II controller use “military” time. In this case 5:30

p.m. is equivalent to 17:30 in “military” time.

1. Pressing the Back/Cancel key changes the display to

back to the main menu if not already there.

2. Assuming the blinking cursor is positioned on the Sys-

tem Summary menu, pressing the Down Arrow (-) key

three times changes the cursor position to the Schedules

menu.

3. Pressing the Enter/Save key changes the display to the

Daily Schedule menu, the first menu in the Schedules

group of menus.

4. Pressing the Down Arrow (-) key six times moves the

display down six items in the menu and positions the

cursor on the Sun= item.

5. When the Enter/Save key is pressed (and if a password

entry is not required) the display enters the “edit” mode

with the “start hour” data field blinking.

6. Pressing the Up Arrow (+) key once increments the cur-

rent “start hour” value by one hour. Pressing and hold-

ing the Up Arrow (+) causes the value to increment

rapidly.

7. When the “start hour” is at the desired value (08 in this

example), pressing the Right Arrow key moves the

blinking cursor to the “start minute” field.

8. Pressing the Up Arrow (+) key once increments the cur-

rent “start minute” value by one minute. Pressing and

holding the Up Arrow (+) causes the value to increment

rapidly.

9. When the “start minute” is at the desired value (30 in

this example), pressing the Right Arrow key moves the

blinking cursor to the “stop hour” field.

10. Pressing the Up Arrow (+) key once increments the cur-

rent “stop hour” value by one hour. Pressing and holding

the Up Arrow (+) causes the value to increment rapidly.

11. When the “stop hour” is at the desired value (17 in this

example), pressing the Right Arrow key moves the

blinking cursor to the “stop minute” field.

12. Pressing the Up Arrow (+) key once increments the cur-

rent “stop minute” value by one minute. Pressing and

holding the Up Arrow (+) causes the value to increment

rapidly.

13. When the “stop minute” is at the desired value (30 in

this example), pressing the Enter/Save key stores the

new Sun= start/stop setting and terminates the edit ses-

sion.

Note: The data field stops blinking when the new value is

recorded and the display leaves the “edit” mode.

Temperature

Menus in the Temperature category contain status and con-

trol set point parameters that define the temperature control

setup of the unit. Table 4 on page 22 lists all menus and

items in the Temperature group or category. The “Range”

column in the table lists all possible values for each item.

The factory settings for the adjustable parameters are shown

in the “Factory Default Value” column. The following are

brief descriptions of the Temperature category menus and

items.

Zone Cooling

The Zone Cooling menu primarily contains basic status and

control parameters that relate to or affect the unit changeover

into cooling operation and control of the space or zone tem-

perature while in cooling operation. For detailed information

regarding unit heating/cooling changeover, refer to

“Heat/Cool Changeover” on page 65.

Control Temp.

Control Temp= is a status only item which

displays the current value of the “Control Temperature.” The

“Control Temperature” is defined as the temperature input

selected by the CtrlTemp Src= parameter in the Zone Cool-

ing or Zone Heating menu. For example, if the CtrlTemp

Src= parameter is set to “Return”, then the Control Temp=

parameter reads the same value as the Return Air= parame-

ter. For more information regarding this parameter, refer

to“Heat/Cool Changeover” on page 65.

Clg Capacity.

Clg Capacity= is a status only item which

indicates the percentage of the unit maximum cooling capac-

ity currently operating.

Eff Clg Spt.

Eff Clg Spt= is a status only item which indi-

cates the cooling changeover or zone cooling control set

point currently in effect. When the current value of the Con-

trol Temp= parameter rises above this parameter by more

than half the Clg Deadband= parameter, cooling capacity is

increased. When the current value of the Control Temp=

parameter drops below this parameter by more than half the

Clg Deadband= parameter cooling capacity is decreased.

This parameter is either set by the controller to same value as

the Occ Clg Spt= parameter or based on a signal from an

optional space temperature sensor with set point adjustment

capability. For details regarding the use of thermostat sup-

plied set points, refer to “Tstat Source Set Points” on

page 66.

Occ Clg Spt.

Occ Clg Spt= is an adjustable item used by

the controller to set the Eff Clg Spt= parameter. The Eff Clg

Spt= is set to this value when it is not being set based on a

signal from an optional space temperature sensor with set

point adjustment capability. For details regarding the use of

thermostat supplied set points, refer to “Tstat Source Set

Points” on page 66.

Clg Deadband.

Clg Deadband= is an adjustable item

which sets a dead band around the Eff Clg Spt= parameter.

For example, if the Eff Clg Spt= parameter is set to 75ºF and

the Clg Deadband= parameter is set to 2ºF the dead band

around the set point would be from 76.0ºF to 74.0ºF.

CtrlTemp Src.

CtrlTemp Src= is an adjustable item which

selects the temperature sensor input to be used for the unit

sets a differential between the discharge and return fan

capacities above which the Eff Min OA Pos= parameter is

reset to the MinOA ResetMax= value. As the difference

between the discharge and return fan capacities varies

between the Min Fan Diff= and Max Fan Diff= values, the

Eff Min OA Pos= parameter varies between the MinOA

Pos= and the MinOA ResetMax= value. For detailed infor-

mation regarding minimum ventilation control, refer to

“Minimum Ventilation Control” on page 70.

Min Fan Diff.

Min Fan Diff= is an adjustable item which

sets a differential between the discharge and return fan

capacities above which the Eff Min OA Pos= parameter

begins to be reset from the MinOA Pos= value toward the

MinOA ResetMax= value. As the difference between the dis-

charge and return fan capacities varies between the Min Fan

Diff= and Max Fan Diff= values, the Eff Min OA Pos=

parameter varies between the MinOA Pos= and the MinOA

ResetMax= value. For detailed information regarding mini-

mum ventilation control, refer to “Minimum Ventilation

Control” on page 70.

Reset T Limit.

Reset T Limit= is an adjustable item which

sets a discharge air temperature low limit which overrides

discharge air temperature gets too cold. For detailed infor-

mation regarding minimum ventilation control, refer to

“Minimum Ventilation Control” on page 70.

EconChgovr.

EconChgovr= is an adjustable item which

defines the method used to make the economizer changeover

decision. When EconChgovr= is set to “Enthalpy”, the econ-

omizer changeover decision is based on the enthalpy switch

input to the controller. When the switch is closed, the OA

Ambient= item indicates “Low” and economizer operation is

enabled. When the switch is open, the OA Ambient= item

indicates “High” and economizer operation is disabled.

When EconChgover= is set to “Dry Bulb”, the economizer

changeover decision is based on the outdoor air temperature

compared to the EconChgovrT= item. When the outdoor air

temperature is below the EconChgovr T= value, the OA

Ambient= item indicates “Low” and economizer operation is

enabled. When the outdoor air temperature is above the
