  • Page 5: Sequence Of Operation

    • Once the Cycle-ON part has ended, the Cycle-OFF part of the cycle will begin. The MPC Platinum will turn off the boiler or close the steam valve for the remainder of this cycle.

  • Page 6: Typical Steam Heat Configuration

    Day and Night Schedules • The MPC Platinum has 4 Day and 4 Night settings for each day of the week. By setting a Schedule, Day and Night Heat Adjustments, and Outdoor Cutoffs, you can save energy while providing comfortable heat to the building. The settings allow the MPC Platinum to reduce the length of the steam Cycle-ON portion during the night or when building is unoccupied.
