Fi . 1: Sensor Enclosure and Components
Mounting the Outdoor Sensor
1. Remove the front cover and mounting screws /
anchors from the sensor enclosure.
2. When mounting the enclosure, the exterior wall
selected should represent the heat load of the
building. Typically a northern or northeastern
wall will suit most buildings. A southern facing
wall for those buildings, which may have large
glass walls or windows on the southern face.
3. Ensure the sensor enclosure is shielded from
direct sunlight or the effects of heat or cold
from other sources (exhaust fans, appliance
vents...) to prevent false temperature sensing.
4. Mount the sensor enclosure at an elevation on
the exterior wall to prevent accidental damage
or tampering.
5. Avoid mounting the enclosure in areas subject-
ed to excessive moisture.
6. Once an area on the exterior wall has been
determined, to affix the enclosure use the enclo-
sure as a template to mark the location of the
mounting screws.
7. Using a 3/16” drill bit, drill 2 pilot holes on the
marked locations.
8. Tap the enclosed plastic anchors into the pilot
holes. Use care not to damage the anchors.
9. Mount the sensor enclosure using the screws
provided.
iring the Sensor
1. Remove the sealing nut and sealing gasket from
the sensor enclosure.
2. Route 18 AWG 2-wire cable or similar wire
cable through the sealing nut and gasket.
Connect the wire ends to the sensor terminals 1
and 2.
2a. Cut a small slit in the seal gasket and route 18
AWG 2-wire cable or similar wire cable
through the seal gasket into the enclosure.
3. Re-insert the sealing gasket and tighten the seal-
ing nut to the sensor enclosure.
4. Route the sensor cable back to the appliance,
ensuring the cable is not route parallel to tele-
phone or power cables.
If the sensor cable is located in an area with
sources of potential electromagnetic interfer-
ence (EMI) the sensor cable should be shield-
ed or the wires should be routed in a ground-
ed metal conduit. If using shielded cable the
shield wire should be connected to the com-
mon ground of the unit.
5. Connect the sensor cable to the outdoor sensor
terminals on the 24V terminal strip located
inside the appliance enclosure (see appliance
wiring diagram).

Summer / inter Switch
If required the CH (Central Heating) system can be
turned off at the appliance, similar to manual sum-
mer / winter switch by press/hold the “+” button
while in the “StbY” mode, the display will show
“cOFF”. ress/hold the “+” button to turn the CH
system back on, the display will show “c” followed
by CH set point temperature ( arameter 4) or CH
target temperature.
Adjusting Outdoor Reset Curve
arameters 4, 10, 11, & 12 define the settings of the
outdoor reset curve. See Graph 1 and Table 1, page
5 for an example of modifying the outdoor reset
curve.
CH Maximum Operating Setpoint
(Parameter 4)
If an outdoor temperature sensor is not connected to
the appliance, the appliance setpoint for a heating
call will be set to the CH Maximum Operating
Setpoint. If an outdoor temperature sensor is con-
nected, the CH Maximum Operating Setpoint
becomes the appliance setpoint on the CH Reset
Curve Coldest Day. The outdoor temperature can
be monitored on the appliance display via item 4 of
the INFO menu.
CH Minimum Operating Setpoint
(Parameter 10)
This parameter is not applicable if an outdoor sen-
sor is not connected to the appliance. When an out-
door temperature sensor is connected, the CH
Minimum Operating Setpoint becomes the appli-
ance setpoint on the CH Reset Curve Warmest Day.
CH Reset Curve Coldest Day
(Parameter 11)
This parameter is not applicable if an outdoor sen-
sor is not connected to the appliance. When an out-
door temperature sensor is connected, the CH Reset
Curve Coldest Day is the coldest design tempera-
ture of the heating system.
CH Reset Curve armest Day
(Parameter 12)
This parameter is not applicable if an outdoor sen-
sor is not connected to the appliance. When an out-
door temperature sensor is connected, the CH Reset
Curve Warmest Day is the warmest design temper-
ature of the heating system.

Entering MCBA Access Code
The installer must enter the MCBA Access Code to
adjust the advanced parameter settings of the
MCBA. The Access Code can be entered as follows:
1. ress the MODE button until the display shows
STbY.
2. ress and hold the MODE and STE buttons
together for 2 to 3 seconds until the display
shows CODE.
3. ress the STE button once and the display will
show C_
XX where XX represents a random
number.
4. ress the “+” or “–“ buttons to change the num-
ber displayed to read C_54.. ress and hold the
“+” or “–“ button to rapidly change the number.
5. When the display reads C_54, press the STORE
button to save the Access Code. The display
should flash to indicate that the Access Code
was saved.
After the Access Code has been entered, the
advanced parameters can be accessed by pressing
the MODE button until the display shows PARA.
Once the display shows PARA, press the STE but-
ton to reach the appropriate parameter. The display
should follow the following sequence:
Press STEP once- 1140
Press STEP x2 - 2_01
Press STEP x3 - 3_01
Press STEP x4 - 4186
Press STEP x5 - P_10
Press STEP x6 - P_11 Etc......
After arameter 4, the display will show followed
by the parameter number. Once a particular para-
meter is reached, the display will change to show
the current setting of that parameter.
The actual pa amete values displayed on the
display may va y depending on the application,
but the sequence will always occu in the o de
shown.
Changing a Parameter Setting
1. Use the “+” or “–“ button to change the para-
meter setting.
2. ress the STORE button to save the change.
The display should flash to indicate that the
change was saved.
3. ress the RESET button to leave the Access
Code mode.
Parameter 4 is adjustable from 86ºF to
194ºF. The factory setting is 186ºF. Adjusting
this parameter may affect the performance
of the appliance.
• Once arameter 4 is displayed, use the + or -
button to modify the parameter setting.
• Once the desired parameter setting is reached
press STORE to save the value. The display
will flash once to confirm the data has been
saved.
• To activate the stored parameter value, press
MODE twice to return to the STBY mode.

(Parameter 6)
This parameter is not applicable if an outdoor sen-
sor is not connected to the appliance. When an out-
door temperature sensor is connected, the CH Reset
Curve Coldest Day is the coldest design tempera-
ture of the heating system.
CH Reset Curve armest Day
(Parameter 7)
This parameter is not applicable if an outdoor sen-
sor is not connected to the appliance. When an out-
