1. General Description
The MC200 is a high specification heating controller designed specifically to meet the demands of modern fuel efficient
heating equipment and the latest environmental guidelines.
The MC200 uses optimum start technology. It is continually monitoring the heating systems previous performance to
determine the optimum time to turn the heating on to raise the building temperature to the required level when occupancy
begins. Optimum stop can also be selected which can save energy at the end of the heating period.
The control uses a simple menu based structure for entering both User settings and Engineer Settings.
The MC200 is protected by 2 levels of password. The User password may be set to restrict access to certain User controls. The
second password is for use by commissioning and servicing engineers and allows access to parameters normally used only in
the initial setting of the controller, a fault log and system reset facility
The user keypad allows easy selection of the heating and fan only modes, the override functions and fault reset. These may
also be locked in various combinations to allow different levels of user accessibility.
The MC200 can give a readout of the hours the burner has operated, to help accessing servicing intervals and after being
programmed with the correct data, can also give an indication of the running costs of the heating appliance.
The MC200 can be used to directly control both Hi/Lo and Modulating burners, the latter by an internally generated 0-10V
signal.

Software version 3.0
Clock
- The date may be set from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2099
- Leap years are recognised
- BST begins on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October. The time changes at 01:00 GMT.
- The clock may gain or lose up to 10 minutes in a year.
Time Switch
- 14 programmes are provided in the software, and each can be assigned to any single day of the week, or to day groupings
such as weekdays or weekends. This allows greatest flexibility in operating the heating whenever required.
- It is possible to schedule programmers so that one starts before another has finished. The heating will be on while any
programme is requiring Heat On, and the heating will turn off only when all programmes have reached Heat Off. The
requested temperature will be set by the most recent programme to switch On. When an overlapping programme switches Off,
the requested temperature will be set by the remaining programme(s).
- No programme can be programmed to run past midnight, because it is assigned to a day of the week. If timed heating is
required across midnight, it must be provided by two programmes, one ending at 23:59 and the other starting at 00:00. At
midnight, all manual over-rides and extensions are cleared.
Optimum Start
- The MC200 achieves Optimum start by keeping a moving record of how many minutes it takes to increase the temperature
per degree in each 3° band of temperature from 5°C to 20°C. The current overnight temperature is referenced and the MC200
can estimate how many minutes are required to bring the temperature to the required level. When Optimum Start is enabled the
switch-on time for the heater is then advanced accordingly to achieve the required temperature by the Heat On time i.e. the
warmer the night time temperature the closer the switch on time will be to the Heat On time
Optimum Stop
- The MC200 keeps a note of how many minutes are taken for the temperature to drop the number of degrees entered against
this parameter when the heating period ends. When Optimum Stop is enabled, the MC200 switches off the heating that
number of minutes early.

4 Installation
IMPORTANT
The MC200 and sensor MUST NOT be sited in areas of high electromagnetic fields, i.e. distribution boards, transformers or
heavy duty supply cables.
MC200
Location
Siting of the MC200 is important in that it must be fitted where the temperature will be generally representative of the area to
be heated. It should be installed 1.7m above floor level and away from draughty areas or areas subjected to direct heat from
sunlight, radiators etc. (Unless a remote sensor is being used). It should also be in a position easily accessible for
programming and operation.
Fixing
Remove the two screws from the terminal cover and remove. Check that the unit fits in the intended mounting position. Using
the template on the packaging box mark the location of the three fixing holes. For fixing into wood use No.8 x 1¼”
woodscrews, on masonry use screws together with wallplugs and on metal use M5 machine screws. Secure the top fixing
leaving approximately 5mm protruding. Hang the MC200 on the top fixing screw, line up the bottom fixing holes and secure
using two screws.
Remote Sensor (optional)
Location
The sensor should be sited no further than 100m from the main unit. Siting of the sensor is important in that it must be fitted
where the temperature will be generally representative of the area to be heated. It should be installed 1.7m above floor level
and away from draughty areas or areas subjected to direct heat from sunlight, radiators etc.
Fixing
Remove cover and offer the sensor up to the intended mounting position and mark two fixing holes. Fix sensor base plate to
the wall.
5 Electrical Connections
IMPORTANT
Wiring external to the MC200 must be installed in accordance with I.E.E. Regulations together with any local regulations
which may apply. Wiring should be completed in conduit, entry for which is provided in the bottom of the unit. See external
wiring diagram Mains supply and control circuit wiring should be completed in cables not less than 0.5mm² and fan circuit in
not less than 1.5mm². The connection to the mains electrical supply can be taken from the appliance or a separate ‘local’
supply, but in both cases a local isolator must be fitted adjacent to the MC200. Should more than one appliance be controlled
from one MC200 an interfacing relay box MUST BE USED with the MC200 driving the relay coils.
WARNING - SENSOR WIRING
Sensor cable must be screened two core and a minimum of 0.6mm² if solid and 7 x 0.2mm² if multistrand. The screen must be
grounded only at the MC100. Wiring for the temperature sensor MUST BE RUN SEPARATELY and apart from ALL other
wiring. Failure to regard this instruction may cause the MC200 to malfunction and may render it faulty. Under no
circumstances must voltage be applied to the sensor connections - see Section 9 regarding alternative sensor inputs.
Burner Reset
Note: The reset terminal is internally connected to NEUTRAL when the reset button is pressed.

Fan Button -
In WINTER mode and OFF mode, the Fan button has no control over the fan.
In SUMMER mode, the Fan button switches on the fan for air circulation, and another press switches it off. If the
fan is left on, it will be automatically switched off at midnight. If the fan is running because the heating is on and
the fan is in Auto or Const mode, the Fan button cannot switch it off.
If the fan is in On mode, it always runs, in WINTER, SUMMER and OFF. The Fan button cannot switch it off.
Reset Button - Press to reset the burner controls from lockout, (when this facility is available on the heater). Note
the reset is automatically timed to be 5 seconds independent of button press duration.
Heating On - Is illuminated when the MC200 is calling for heat (It does not confirm that the heating is actually
working). It shows Red when the heater is a single-stage burner, Green when the heater is a Hi-Low type, and
Yellow when the heater has a Modulating burner.
Fault - Shows orange when the burner control is at lockout
Note: During programming the bottom line of the LCD display shows the keypad buttons that may be used.

Run Mode
The MC200 has three Run modes: Winter, Summer and Off.
Summer - the fan operates to circulate air when switched on manually. With certain types of heater or certain types of installation,
Fan-only operation may not be appropriate and the fan control circuit should not be used.
In “Summer” the heater never operates unless the temperature drops below the frost temperature. During commissioning the
frost temperature operation will be set to be on or off. If the frost setting is off, the heater will not operate under frost conditions
in any User mode.
Off - the heater never operates unless the temperature drops below the frost temperature (see above).
Winter - the heater operates when any programme is in a “Heat On” period. The heater also operates to maintain the Night
Temperature if this has been set. The heater also operates when the temperature drops below the frost temperature.
Note: Summer/winter mode has no connection with the clock change from GMT to BST.

9. Temperature Sensors
The default temperature sensor is a component inside the MC200 case, mounted into the screw terminal strip (Terminals Sen1
& Com). This component may be removed and replaced by a remote sensor.
A second remote temperature sensor can, subject to wiring and distance constraints, be connected to the screw terminal strip
(Terminals Com & In2). When configured for two temperature sensors, the MC200 operates on the average of the temperatures
returned by the two sensors. The second ‘sensor’ input (Terminals Com & In2) can also accept a volt free switch input i.e. a volt
free switch is connected across Terminals Com & In2 to facilitate additional functions as below
Sensor options are as follows
(It is assumed that Sensor 1 is always fitted)
1) In2: Not used The sensor 2 terminals are ignored
2) In2: Remote A temperature sensor is connected
3) In2: Heat off A switch is fitted. When it closes, heating goes off
4) In2: Heat on A switch is fitted. When it closes, heating goes on
Heating will be overridden by the switch closure during programmed heating times. Heating control returns to normal when the
switch opens, or when the programmed control period ends.
The switched control does not occur while heating is turned on due to manual override in non-programmed times, and does not
occur during the manually-selected extension time at the end of a programmed control period.
If heating has been manually overridden to be off during a programmed heating period, the switched control cannot bring on the
heating.
The fourth option (Heat on) means that heat will be turned fully on by the switch. For high-low burners, the high and low relays
will be on, and for modulating burners, the control output will be 10v.
Cost logging operates as usual. During these switch control periods the burn time is recorded at the maximum rate.
If the sensor goes open-circuit (if either of the sensors goes open-circuit where two are fitted), the Fault LED will flash. The
LCD display will show “sensor failed”.
NOTE The temperature sensing element used in the MC200 differs from the type used in the earlier MC100. The remote sensor
for the MC200 is a different product from the remote sensor for the MC100.

corresponding input terminal.
10. Outputs
10.1 Single burner
When configured for a single burner heater, the Low heat relay (Terminals Heat In Lo and Heat Out Lo) operates when the
sensor temperature is below the set temperature.
10.2 Two-stage
When configured for a two-stage burner heater, the Low heat relay (Terminals Heat In Lo and Heat Out Lo) operates when the
sensor temperature is below the set temperature i.e. as ON/OFF. The High heat relay (Terminals Heat In Hi and Heat Out Hi)
operates when the sensor temperature is more than a given number of degrees below the set temperature as set in the Hi/Lo
differential parameter to switch from low fire to high fire
The Low Level relay also remains operated while the High heat relay is operated.
10.3 Modulating
The 0-10Vdc output stays at zero and the Low heat relay (Terminals Heat In Lo and Heat Out Lo) will remain de-energized
while the sensor temperature is at or above the set temperature. Below the set temperature, the Low heat relay (Terminals Heat
In Lo and Heat Out Lo) will operate and the modulating output voltage (Terminals 0-10v+ and 0-10v-) increases, reaching 10v
when the sensor temperature falls to the threshold set.
11. Handover
Demonstrate the setting up and operation of the control to the end user. Leave the User Instructions with the end user.
