Application
IMPORTANT: The MS4PMUHVT Multi-Stage
Temperature Control is intended to control
equipment under normal operating conditions.
Where failure or malfunction of the MS4PMUHVT
control could lead to an abnormal operating
condition that could cause personal injury or
damage to the equipment or other property, other
devices (limit or safety controls) or systems (alarm
or supervisory systems) intended to warn of, or
protect against, failure or malfunction of the
MS4PMUHVT control must be incorporated into
and maintained as part of the control system.
The MS4PMUHVT control provides direct control in
many applications:
cooling tower pump and/or fan control
rooftop heating or cooling units
boiler or pump control
space temperature control
compressor or chiller staging
The MS4PMUHVT control has four heavy-duty
relays. See electrical ratings in Table 6 for more
information.
Operation
Mode Selection
Mode Selection allows selection of one of several
modes:
Direct mode for cooling applications
Reverse mode for heating applications
Deadband mode for applications requiring cooling
and heating with a common setpoint and a
deadband
Independent Setpoint mode for applications
requiring cooling and heating with one setpoint for
heating and a second (independent) setpoint for
cooling
Stage Control
Several settings define the control functions for the
stages:
Setpoints and Differentials setting establish the
temperature-control ranges.
Cycle Delays establish a set time interval between
heating or cooling cycle restarts to avoid excessive
cycling.
Soft Start controls the rate at which temperature
approaches the Setpoint on power-up or when
Binary Input Option 3 is selected. This feature is
useful when starting equipment where merchandise
in the controlled space needs to be slowly brought to
the desired temperature (Setpoint). If this feature is
used, the control activates up to four stages in
succession to slowly bring the sensed temperature
to the desired temperature (Setpoint) at the
user-selected rate.
Alarm Management
Several settings define the control functions for alarms:
High and Low Temperature Alarms provide
notification of temperatures that exceed
user-designated high and low limits.
Alarm Time Delay keeps short-duration
temperature changes from triggering an alarm.
Alarm Differential keeps the alarm from cycling
rapidly on and off due to minor temperature
fluctuations.
Alarm Codes assist in troubleshooting.

MS4PMUHVT Multi-Stage Electronic Temperature Control with Relay Pack Product/Technical Bulletin 3
Binary Input Response
Binary Input Function allows the user to select how
the control responds to a binary input (switch) if the
binary input contacts are open for a time (minutes)
longer than the Binary Input Time Delay.
Additional Features
The MS4PMUHVT control uses several other
settings to control specific features:
Keyboard Locking disables/enables change of
the setpoint and other functions, reducing
accidental or unauthorized changes of the
control settings.
Self-test Procedure initiates a cycle of all
outputs and tests all LEDs. See Initiating a
Manual Self-Test.
Dual Sensor Temperature Reset resets the
setpoint based on the difference between the
Auxiliary Temperature Sensor (ATS) and the
Setpoint to provide energy savings. See
Temperature Reset.
For additional information about control functions
and how to program them, see Programming the
Control and Control Functions.
Control Module Front Panel
The control module has an LED display and buttons
for entering programming information and activating
various features.
The display has three LED digits and a minus
indicator. It displays a temperature range from
-40 to 176°F (-40 to 80°C) in increments of 1F° or
C°. The display also features three relay status
LEDs.
LED 1 indicates that the Stage 1 Relay is
energized.
LED 2 indicates that the Stage 2 Relay is
energized.
LED 3 indicates that the Stage 3 Relay is
energized.

Modes of Operation
The MS4PMUHVT control performs temperature
management for multi-stage applications. It can
automatically adjust the setpoint to save energy,
based on readings from the auxiliary temperature
sensor and the function settings.
The illustrations on the following pages show the
modes of operation available on the MS4PMUHVT
control.
Direct Mode (Cooling) and Reverse Mode (Heating)
Direct mode is used for cooling applications. (See
Figure 13.) Reverse mode is used for heating
applications. (See Figure 14.) Where desirable, stages
may overlap or have space between them.
Setpoint is the desired temperature.
In Direct Mode (cooling applications), when Setpoint is
reached on a temperature drop, the Normally Open
(N.O.) relay contacts open, ending the On cycle of
Stage 1.
In Reverse Mode (heating applications), when Setpoint
is reached on a temperature rise the N.O. relay
contacts open, ending the On cycle of Stage 1.
Differential is the operational range of Stage 1.
Setpoint 2 is the offset from Setpoint that activates
Stage 2.
Differential 2 is the operational range of Stage 2.
Setpoint 3 is the offset from Setpoint that activates
Stage 3.
Differential 3 is the operational range of Stage 3.
Setpoint 4 is the offset from Setpoint that activates
Stage 4.
Interstage Time Delay is the minimum amount of time
between two successive stages when multiple stages
are called for in rapid sequence.

Deadband Mode
Deadband mode is used for applications requiring
cooling and heating. Where desirable, stages may
overlap or have space between them. See Figure 15.
Setpoint is the desired temperature.
Setpoint 2 is width of the deadband, which is centered
on Setpoint.
In Direct Mode (cooling applications), the N.O. relay
contacts open, ending the On cycle when
Setpoint + (1/2 Setpoint 2) is reached on a
temperature drop.
In Reverse Mode (heating applications), the N.O. relay
contacts open, ending the On cycle when Setpoint -
(1/2 Setpoint 2) is reached on a temperature rise.
Differential is the operational range of Stage 1.
Differential 2 is the operational range of Stage 2.
Setpoint 3 is the offset from the low end of the
deadband that activates Stage 3.
Differential 3 is the operational range of Stage 3.
Setpoint 4 is the offset from the high end of the
deadband that activates Stage 4.
Differential 4 is the operational range of Stage 4.

Independent Setpoint Mode
Independent Setpoint mode is used for applications
requiring cooling and heating. Where desirable, stages
may overlap or have space between them. See
Figure 16.
Setpoint is the desired heating temperature. It is the
basis for the reverse stages.
In Reverse mode (heating applications), when Setpoint
is reached on a temperature rise, the N.O. relay
contacts open, ending the On cycle.
Setpoint cannot be set higher than Setpoint 2, nor can
Setpoint 2 be set lower than Setpoint. If overlapping
adjustment is attempted, the setting that is not being
adjusted will adopt the value of the setting that is being
adjusted.
Differential is the operational range of Stage 1.
Setpoint 2 the desired cooling temperature
programmed by the user. It is the basis for the direct
stages.
In Direct mode (cooling applications), when Setpoint is
reached on a temperature drop, the N.O. relay
contacts open, ending the On cycle.
Differential 2 is the operational range of Stage 2.
Setpoint 3 is the offset from Setpoint that activates
Stage 3.
Differential 3 is the operational range of Stage 3.
Setpoint 4 is the offset from Setpoint 2 that activates
Stage 4.

Control Functions
Temperature Management Functions
SI (Displays in Mode 4i only) Setpoint is the primary
temperature setting (°F or °C) programmed by the
user. For information on function in each mode, see
Modes of Operation.
S2, S3, S4 Setpoint 2, Setpoint 3, Setpoint 4 depend
on the mode used. For information on function in each
mode, see Modes of Operation.
HI, H2, H3, H4 Differentials are the difference (F° or
C°) between the value at which an output is switched
Off and the value at which an output is switched On
(relay contacts closing and opening, initiating or
ending an On cycle). For information on function in
each mode, see Modes of Operation.
HL, LL High and Low Setpoint Stops are
temperature values (°F or °C) that define how high or
low the primary Setpoint may be adjusted. Setpoint

Controlled temperature increases by 1° every
two minutes, until the setpoint temperature is
reached. To go from 20° to 30° takes 20 minutes.
So Temperature Sensor Offset allows compensation
for temperature differences between actual and
displayed temperature, such as when using long
sensor leads. See Table 1 to determine the
temperature value to compensate for long sensor lead
extensions.
Un Temperature Units Used allows selection of
Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature scale.
PU Display Refresh Rate establishes the time delay

display.
Lc, Uc Heating Reset and Cooling Reset are
automatic shifts of the setpoint, based on the
temperature at the Auxiliary Temperature Sensor
(ATS). See Temperature Reset for more information.
NC Non-compensated Band establishes the
temperature range (F° or C°) over which reset does
not take place.

Alarm Management Functions
AH High Temperature Alarm establishes the
temperature relative to Setpoint (F° or C°) at which the
control goes into a high temperature alarm condition.
(The temperature value is added to the Setpoint.)
AL Low Temperature Alarm establishes the
temperature relative to Setpoint (F° or C°) at which the
control goes into a low temperature alarm condition.
(The temperature value is subtracted from the
Setpoint.)
AH, AL High and Low Temperature Alarms are
disabled during defrost and for 20 minutes after the
defrost cycle. These alarms are also disabled for
20 minutes after startup.
Ad Alarm Differential establishes the difference (F°
or C°) between the alarm activation temperature and
the alarm deactivation temperature.
Alarm Differential Example - Cooling Applications:
Setpoint = 40°F
High Temperature Alarm = 15F°
Alarm Differential = 2F°
When the room temperature exceeds 55°F
(40+15=55°F) for a time greater than the alarm
time delay setting, the alarm message is
displayed; however, it will reset after the
temperature drops below 53°F (40+15-2=53°F).
At Alarm Time Delay establishes the time delay
(minutes) between reaching a high or low temperature
alarm condition and displaying an alarm message on
the display. This function reduces alarm oscillation and
nuisance alarms caused by temperatures that
temporarily exceed alarm setpoint temperatures.
Binary Input Functions
iF Binary Input Mode allows selection of how the
Normally Closed (N.C.) binary input activates the
stage control contacts.
Binary Input Mode can be disabled or can provide one
of three predetermined responses to the binary input.
(If a set of stage control contacts are used to control
an external alarm, this function should be disabled.)
Shutoff and Alarm Signaling - If the binary input
contact is open for a time longer than that set
through the Binary Input Time Delay, the stage
control contacts are switched Off, and an alarm
message (A1) is displayed.
Setback - If the binary input contact is open for a
time longer than that set through the Binary Input
Time Delay, the setpoints are shifted by Setback.
Reverse setpoints (heating) decrease. Direct
setpoints (cooling) increase.
Remote Shutoff of the outputs. - If the binary
input contact is open for a time longer than that set
through the Binary Input Time Delay, the stage
control contacts are switched Off.
id Binary Input Time Delay establishes the time
delay (minutes) between the binary input signal
reaching the control and activation of the response
selected by Binary Input Mode.
Sb Setback determines the value of the Setpoint shift
when the binary input is open and Setback is the
response selected by Binary Input Mode.

MS4PMUHVT Multi-Stage Electronic Temperature Control with Relay Pack Product/Technical Bulletin 13
Temperature Reset
The control module uses non-compensated band
and heating reset or cooling reset to automatically
adjust the setpoint. These functions appear only when
the Auxiliary Temperature Sensor (ATS) is connected.
If the ATS is connected after the control module is
powered up, the control module must be powered
down and then powered up for these functions to
appear.
Non-Compensated Band
Non-Compensated Band (NCB) is a temperature
differential from setpoint. Within the range of this
differential, variations in the ATS temperature do not
cause a temperature reset. See Heating Reset and
Cooling Reset for more information.
Note: When Deadband mode or Independent
Setpoint mode are used, NCB is the same for heating
stages and cooling stages.
Heating Reset
When (Setpoint –ATS Temperature) > NCB, the
control adjusts the heating setpoint by the following
amount:
[ATS Temp. –(Setpoint –NCB)] / Heating Reset
Heating reset only affects the setpoint for heating
stages.

NCB = 20F°
Heating Reset = 2F°
Step 1
[ATS Temperature –(setpoint–NCB)] / heating
reset = [42 –(70 –20)]/2 = -4
Step 2
setpoint + reset
70 + (-4) = 66
Setpoint is reset to 66°F to save energy. See

When (ATS Temperature - Setpoint) > NCB, the
control adjusts the cooling setpoint by the following
amount:
[ATS –(Setpoint + NCB)] / Cooling Reset
Cooling reset only affects the setpoint for cooling
stages.

Example
Setpoint = 70°F
ATS Temperature= 92°F
NCB = 10F°
Cooling Reset = 2F°
Step 1
ATS Temperature –(setpoint + NCB) / cooling
reset = [92 –(70 + 10)] / 2 = 6
Step 2
setpoint + reset
70 + 6 = 76
Setpoint is reset to 76°F to save energy. See
