Continued Leadership in Floor-by-Floor, Self-Contained

System Designs
McQuay SWP self-contained air conditioning systems trace Nomenclature
their history to the late 1970s and the pioneering concepts of
Blazer Industries. Working closely with the consulting engi-
neer to solve special system and space challenges, Blazer
Industries developed and provided the first self-contained,
variable air volume systems with water side economizer
cycle for the prestigious 499 Park Avenue office building.
Following the success of this project has been over a decade
of innovation and product leadership, with thousands of sys-
tems provided for prominent building projects.
Agency Listed
In 1991, Blazer Industries was acquired by McQuay. The
result has been a continuation of this tradition of innovation
and leadership. The comprehensive, updated McQuay SWP
system offering is now supplying quiet, efficient and flexible
systems to meet today’s diverse and demanding performance MEA
needs for new and retrofit, commercial, industrial and insti- 368-93-N
tutional buildings worldwide.

Design Features
Cabinet, Casing and Frame
For vibration control and rigging strength, the SWP unit base
is constructed of welded structural steel channel and 10-
gauge galvanized steel panels. Heavy-duty lifting brackets
are provided to accept cable or chain hooks and are located
for a balanced lifting operation.
For long equipment life, unit exterior panels are constructed
of heavy gauge, pre-painted, galvanized steel. The complete
cabinet, frame and access panels are insulated with 1 inch,
1.5 lb. insulation. Optional metal liners and density coated
insulation improve thermal and acoustic performance.
For maintenance and service ease, system components are
strategically located for ease of inspection and maintenance.
Refrigeration components are positioned out of the airstream
so adjustments and readings can be made without disrupting
system operation. Service friendly access is made through
heavy-duty, conveniently removable panels with hand tight-
ened latches. No tools are required for access. Access panels
are set on neoprene gaskets to prevent air leakage.
SWP Cabinet
Condensing Section
Multiple compressors (4 to 6) are featured in all SWP sys-
tems for efficient system part load control, quiet operation
and system redundancy. Compressors are reliable hermetic
scroll type complete with suction and discharge service
valves with gauge ports sightglass, anti-slug protection, and
motor overload protection. Each compressor is protected by
individual branch circuit fusing. The unit’s MicroTech con-
4 Cat 860-3
trol system incorporates timing functions to prevent short
cycling. All compressors are resiliently mounted to mini-
mize any noise transmission. The entire condensing section
is segregated from the air handling section of the unit to
avoid transmission of noise to the circulated air stream.
Each compressor is on an independent refrigerant circuit
complete with filter-drier, liquid moisture indicator/sight-
glass, thermal expansion valve capable of modulation from
100-25% of its rated capacity, liquid line shutoff valve with
charging port, high pressure relief device and high and low
pressure safety cutouts. If any compressor is made inopera-
ble, the remaining compressors are still allowed to operate.
Each compressor circuit comes complete with isolation and
service valves and has been designed to meet industry guide-
lines for environmentally sound refrigerant management.
The MicroTech unit controller, sensing entering condenser
water temperature, will prevent mechanical cooling when
the temperature falls below an adjustable setpoint value,
minimum 55°F. For systems which will see entering con-
denser water temperatures below 50°F, a waterside econo-
mizer or head pressure activated control valve is available.
SWP water cooled condensers feature a mechanically clean-
able, all copper design using the same high performance
enhanced tubing found in centrifugal chillers. Liquid refrig-
erant subcooling is provided as standard. Each condenser is
part of an independent refrigerant circuit and comes com-
plete with a spring loaded high pressure safety relief valve.
All condensers are independently leak tested. All completed
units are leak tested, evacuated and shipped with a full oper-
ating charge of R-22 and oil.
Each condenser and all factory water piping, including
optional control valves, is rated for a waterside working
pressure of 400 psig and is factory leak tested before ship-
ment. Condenser water channels are mechanically cleanable
by removing brass service plugs which are sealed with reus-
able o-ring gaskets. Main interconnecting condenser water
headers include vent and drain plugs and a large cleanout
plug for removing debris dislodged during cleaning. Con-
densers are factory piped for a single condenser water supply
and a single condenser water return connection.
Both right-hand and left-hand piping locations are available.
Cooling Coil Section
SWP evaporator coils incorporate a high efficiency ripple
corrugated fin design. SWP system design maximizes coil
face area without developing uneven, performance robbing
disruptions in airflow patterns. The result is high coil perfor-
mance and reduced static pressure losses. Coils are 6 row
configurations.
The evaporator coil is mounted in a stainless steel double
sloped drain pan. The condensate drain is trapped internal to
the unit, eliminating the expense and inconsistency of field
installed traps.

All evaporator coils are interlace circuited, keeping the full

face of the coil active to eliminate air temperature stratifica-
tion. For optimum part load performance, all three and four
circuit evaporator coils are circuited for both interlaced and
row control. Compressor staging is sequenced to take maxi-
mum advantage of available coil surface.

Each evaporator coil circuit is furnished with a wide range

thermostatic expansion valve with an adjustable superheat
setting and external equalizer.
Heating Section
SWP units are available as cooling only systems or with fac-
tory installed electric or hot water heat for morning warm-
up, constant volume and specialty heating requirements.
Electric Heat
The factory assembled electric heating coils are constructed
of low watt density nickel-chromium elements for long last-
ing durability. Electric heaters are protected by automatic
reset high limit controls and line break protection. Heater
branch circuits are individually protected by branch circuit
fusing. The MicroTech control system sequences the electric
heating elements for operating economy.
Hot Water Heat
Hot water coils have 1 or 2 rows with high efficiency ripple
corrugated fin design and 1/2 inch O.D. seamless copper
tubes. Coils are available complete with factory mounted,
piped and wired 2-way control or modulating valve con-
trolled by the unit’s MicroTech controller. A factory
mounted freezestat is available to help protect against coil
freeze-up.
The supply fan section uses a double width, double inlet
medium pressure forward curved fan and housing. Each fan
is statically and dynamically balanced. The fan assembly is
constructed of high strength structural steel and welded for
maximum strength. The entire fan assembly is mounted on
spring isolators for excellent isolation effectiveness. Seismic
control restrained spring isolators are available. A vibration
eliminating flex connection is installed at the fan discharge.
The entire fan, motor and drive assembly is dynamically bal-
anced at the factory for quiet operation.
Supply fans are configured with a gradual expansion, aero-
dynamic duct within the cabinet. This unique gradual expan-
sion feature contributes to the performance of the SWP by
lowering brake horsepower and lowering sound pressure lev-
els achieved on major building projects.
All fans are mounted on solid steel shafts rotating in 200,000
hour re-greaseable pillow block ball bearings. Multiple belt,
fixed pitch sheaves are matched to the specific cfm, static
pressure and horsepower requirements of the system. Drives
rated for a minimum of 150% of fan design are available.
Drive components and fan bearings are easily accessed for
periodic maintenance.
Fan motors are three phase, NEMA design B, rated at 40°C.
Motor availability includes high efficiency open drip-proof
and totally enclosed, EPACT compliant, NEMA T-frame
selections. Motors are 1800 RPM with grease lubricated ball
bearings.

Cat 860-3 5
Inlet guide vanes with interconnecting linkage and electric Mechanically Cleanable Waterside Economizer Coil
actuator are provided for variable air volume (VAV) applica-
tions. The entire assembly is factory installed and adjusted.
Factory mounted and controlled variable frequency drives
are also available for VAV control. Variable frequency drives
are latest generation pulse width modulation type and use
IGBT technology. A manually activated bypass contactor is
provided to allow system operation even in the event of drive
service.
Factory provided inlet vanes and variable frequency drives
are controlled by the SWP unit’s MicroTech controller. Static
pressure can be sensed by either a single duct static pressure
sensor or two sensors for systems with diverse duct arrange-
ments or zones. All VAV control systems include an adjust-
able duct high limit safety control to protect duct work from
excessive duct pressure.

Economizer Options
Waterside Economizer
An energy saving, waterside economizer package is avail-
able on all units. The complete economizer system is factory
mounted including a 4-row mechanically cleanable coil,
control valves and factory piping complete with cleanouts.
The complete economizer package is rated for 400 psig
waterside working pressure and the entire coil and piping
assembly is factory leak tested. Control valves include provi-
sion for manual override for unit isolation.
Economizer operation is controlled by the SWP’s MicroTech
controller to maximize free cooling potential. Economizer Economizer Piping
operation is enabled whenever the entering water tempera-
ture is less than the entering air temperature by a field adjust-
able value, generally 5-7°F. The economizer control valve
modulates in response to the cooling load. Control valve
operation can be selected to (1) maintain full flow through
the unit at all times or (2) isolate the unit from the condenser
water loop when there is no call for cooling and save energy
with a variable pumping system.

Airside Economizer
An airside economizer control package is also available. A
field mounted mixing box capable of 100% outside airflow
is controlled by the SWP MicroTech controller to maximize
free cooling potential. Economizer operation is enabled
whenever an outside air (or comparative) enthalpy sensor or
outside air temperature sensor indicates that outside air is
suitable for free cooling. The economizer damper control
actuator shall modulate in response to the cooling load. The Filter Section
outside air damper will be positioned to maintain minimum
ventilation requirements when economizer is disabled. All SWP units are provided as standard with 4 inch deep,

cated duct turns and transitions all SWP units offer an avail-
able factory mounted acoustically treated discharge plenum
with horizontal duct connections. Custom size duct connec-
tions are available on any side of the plenum and are config-
ured at the factory prior to shipment. Field cutting of
discharge openings is not required.
The plenum is constructed of prepainted galvanized steel.
Plenum walls are insulated with 3 inches of 3 lb. density
glass fiber insulation and the entire interior lined with a 20-
gauge, 23% open, galvanized steel perforated liner for added
rigidity and acoustic performance. To reduce turbulence in
the plenum and improve performance, the plenum has acous-
tic baffles installed at the plenum corners. Plenums with a
single side discharge opening or a single side with either a
front or back opening shall have an acoustic baffle isolating
the unused portion of the plenum.

to the electrical diagram and shall be UL recognized when-
ever applicable. Line voltage components and wiring are in a
separate panel, physically separated from the low voltage
control system.
The supply fan motors, compressor motors and electric heat
all have individual branch circuit fuse protection. Control
circuit power is supplied through a factory installed, low
voltage control circuit transformer. The fan motor has a three
phase contactor and ambient compensated overload protec-
tion with manual reset. Each refrigerant circuit includes a
high and low pressure cutout safety switch with a manual
reset for the high pressure cutout and a frost protection ther-
mostat. A terminal block is provided for the single, main
power connection and a terminal board shall be provided for
low voltage control wiring. All line voltage wiring is in con-
duit.
An optional factory mounted, nonfused main circuit inter-
rupter for disconnecting the main electrical power to the unit
is available. The switch is visible, located at the front of the
unit, and is accessible without unit penetration. Dual power
blocks or disconnect switches are also available.
Controls

Tech microprocessor control system which provides all tem-
perature and static pressure control, safety control functions,
system time clock and all monitoring and diagnostics. The
MicroTech system consists of all temperature and pressure
sensors, a main processor, keypad/display and printed cir-
cuit/relay boards as required. Boards are individually
replaceable for ease of service. The complete control system
is factory mounted, wired, and tested prior to shipment.
Cat 860-3
The MicroTech control system is a stand-alone DDC con-
troller not dependent on communications with any on-site
PC, remote monitor panel or network. Should the unit ever
lose either direct connect or network communications, the
microprocessor will maintain existing setpoints. The control
system is equipped with LEDs to indicate that all hardware,
software and interconnecting wiring are in proper operating
condition. All factory set and user set schedules and control
points are maintained in nonvolatile memory. No settings
shall be lost, even during extended power shutdowns. All
digital inputs and outputs are optically isolated to prevent

Variable Air Volume
McQuay, a pioneer in the development of packaged VAV
systems, continues its leadership in system design. Based on
over 20 years of packaged VAV system design, SWP systems
present the latest in VAV system technology.
The need to look at more economical system alternatives has
continued to be driven by escalating field installation and
construction costs, by increasing realization of indoor air
quality needs and by operating expense. The challenge there-
fore is to provide environmental systems which meet com-
fort and health requirements and optimize energy use while
maintaining better control of first costs.
Packaged self-contained VAV systems have grown in use
because they offer control of first costs by reducing field
expense. To meet the challenge of reduced first cost while
making better use of energy, self-contained systems combine
the energy savings of economizer cycles and the efficiency
of water cooled condensing with improved variable air vol-
ume control. Variable air volume systems offer the following
advantages:
1. Use of system diversity to reduce first cost by reducing
equipment and duct sizes.
2. Savings in operating costs due to reduced energy
demands at part load conditions.
3. Smaller equipment sizes mean less space consumed in
the building by mechanical systems.
4. Flexibility to match changing occupancy demands.
Variable air volume systems vary the air quantity to the
space at a constant temperature, to balance the heat gains or
losses, and to achieve and maintain the desired room temper-
ature. Unlike a “bypass” or “dump” system, the McQuay
system provides operating cost savings by reducing the sup-
ply air quantity to the minimum required by the system.
Reduced supply air quantity reduces fan horsepower require-
ments and therefore power and energy requirements.
McQuay SWP systems use two methods of variable air vol-
ume control to achieve energy savings. These are variable
inlet vanes and VFDs. Variable inlet vane and variable fre-
quency drive systems are controlled by one (or two) pressure
Cat 860-3
sensors monitoring duct static pressure. The sensor(s) are
positioned to assure that all variable air volume terminals are
furnished with the required static pressure.
Variable Inlet Vanes
Variable inlet vanes are used to provide an economical,
broad range of application and performance. An inlet vane
produces a new characteristic fan curve at each vane position
allowing more modulation in airflow, than older damper
control systems, before reaching unstable fan operation.
Variable inlet vanes provide reduced energy consumption at
reduced airflow rates as required by ASHRAE Standard
90.1. SWP variable inlet vane applications come complete
with electronic vane actuator, duct static pressure sensor,
duct high limit safety control and integrated MicroTech
static pressure control logic.
Variable Frequency Drives
Variable frequency drives (inverters) provide the most effi-
cient means of variable volume control because they take
advantage of the fan law relation between rpm and bhp. Fan
bhp varies as the cube of the change in fan speed:
hp2 = hp1(density2/density1)(rpm2/rpm1)3
Variable frequency control varies the speed of the fan by
adjusting the frequency and voltage to the motor. Keeping a
constant volts/frequency ratio (constant magnetic flux) to the
motor allows the motor to run at its peak efficiency over a
wide range of rpm and resulting fan cfm. Factory installed
variable frequency drives are available on all SWP systems.
Fan speed control with variable frequency drives signifi-
cantly outperforms the fan part load performance require-

MicroTech unit and optional network control systems pro-
vide many energy savings, comfort, indoor air quality and
operation management features not found in any other
microprocessor-based system on the market today.

● Unit temperature sensor packages
Microprocessor Board
All factory and operator programmed information is main-
tained in the microprocessor board’s nonvolatile memory.
This assures that schedules, setpoints, and parameters will
not be lost, even during a long-term power outage. The
microprocessor board is equipped with three LEDs that aid
in diagnostics. Two communication ports, one for RS-232
and one for RS-485, allow for PC and network communica-
tions. If PC or network communications are ever lost, the
controller will continue to operate using existing setpoints.
Unit Mounted Temperature Sensors
With the exception of the zone, return and outside air sen-
sors, all thermistor type temperature sensors are factory
installed and tested. Zone sensor packages to suit any appli-
cation are available. Analog inputs are available on all con-
troller configurations for connecting accessory temperature
sensors. A return air sensor is provided that requires field
installation.
Zone Temperature Sensor Packages
Three zone temperature sensor packages are available for
use with the MicroTech controller: (1) zone sensor only, (2)
zone sensor with tenant override switch, and (3) zone sensor
with tenant override switch and bimetal thermometer. Timed
tenant override is a standard MicroTech control feature on all
SWP units.

12 Cat 860-3
Zone sensors, which must be field wired, are optional. How-
ever, they are required to use the controller’s space reset of
supply air setpoint, and night setback or setup features (see
below). All zone sensor field wiring is connected to screw
terminals at a clearly marked terminal strip.
Stand-alone Controller Features
MicroTech unit controllers include many features that make
them capable of completely independent, stand-alone opera-
tion. Many additional features are available when unit con-
trollers are included with one or more MicroTech auxiliary
panels in a network.
Internal Time Clock
An internal, battery-backed time clock is included with all
MicroTech unit controllers. The date and time can be set at
the keypad.
Internal Schedule
Seven daily schedules and one holiday schedule can be
entered at the keypad on all unit controllers. For each of
these eight schedules, one start and one stop time can be
entered. Up to 14 holiday dates can be designated, and a 1 to
31 day duration can be assigned to each of these dates. The
unit will be run according to the holiday schedule on the hol-
iday dates.
The unit can also be operated according to a network sched-
ule. See “Optional MicroTech Network Systems.”
Optimal Start
All standard unit controllers provide for selection of an opti-
mal start feature. If this feature is selected, the controller will
use unit start history, outdoor air temperature and space tem-
perature to determine an optimum unit start time. To use this
feature, the optional outdoor air sensor and optional space
sensor are required.
External Time Clock or Tenant override
Input
An input that can be used to start and stop the unit is avail-
able for field connection on all unit controllers. An external
time clock, a tenant override switch, or both can be con-
nected. Whenever the external circuit is closed, the control-
ler overrides the internal schedule (if any) and places the unit
into the occupied mode.
Timed Tenant Override
When unit operation is desired during unoccupied hours,
timed tenant override can be initiated by pressing the tenant
override button on one of the optional zone sensor packages.
The unit will then start and run in the occupied mode for a
keypad adjustable length of time (up to five hours). If the
button is pressed again while the unit is operating, the timer
will reset to the full time allowance without interrupting unit
operation.
Remote Start/Shutdown
All units feature a Remote Smoke Start input. This input
allows a remote signal to start the unit fan even if the Micro-
Tech unit controller has the unit turned off. A Remote Shut-
Cat 860-3
down input is also available to allow a remote signal to
override the unit’s MicroTech controller and stop the unit.
The priority of one of the inputs versus the other is deter-
mined by a jumper on the unit’s output board.
Auto/Manual Operation Selection
Automatic or manual operation can be controlled either
remotely or at the keypad.
All unit controllers include two inputs that can be used to
enable or disable cooling or heating from a remote switch.
The fan may be disabled by placing the manual On/Off/Auto
switch on the front of the unit in the off position. In the On
position, the unit will be in the occupied mode and the fan
will be running. In the Auto position, the unit is controlled
by the internal time clock, an external time clock, a network
time clock signal, a tenant override signal or a discrete net-
work signal.
From the keypad, there are a variety of auto/manual opera-
tion selections available to the operator:
● Auto
● Occupied: cooling and heating enabled
● Occupied: cooling only enabled
● Occupied: heating only enabled
● Occupied: cooling and heating disabled (fan only)
● Off: manual
● Off: service mode (cannot be overridden by a PC)
● Timed override (occupied operation for up to 5 hours)
Except for “Off: Service Mode,” all of these selections are
also available at a personal computer equipped with Monitor
software.
Waterside Economizer Changeover Selec-
tion
On units equipped with a waterside economizer, the Micro-
Tech unit controller compares entering water temperature to
the mixed air temperature. If the entering water temperature
is less than the mixed air temperature by the differential
(field adjustable), the economizer control valve modulates in
response to the cooling load.
Airside Economizer Changeover Selection
On units equipped with an airside economizer, there are two
methods of determining whether the outdoor air is suitable
for free cooling: enthalpy (dry bulb temperature and humid-
ity) and outdoor air dry bulb temperature.
The enthalpy changeover method uses an external control
signal wired to a specified controller input.
All unit controllers include an internal dry bulb changeover
strategy that can be selected at the keypad. When this
method is selected, the controller compares the outdoor air
temperature to a keypad programmable setpoint. The
optional outside air temperature sensor is required. The
external enthalpy control input is then ignored.
Mechanical Cooling Lockout
All unit controllers include a keypad programmable setpoint
for locking out mechanical cooling when the entering con-
denser water temperature is below the lockout setpoint. The
13
factory default setpoint is 55°F and is adjustable with a min-
imum setpoint of 50°F (with a waterside economizer).
For systems without water economizer cycle and with enter-
ing condenser water temperatures less than 55°F, an optional
modulating head pressure control valve can be provided.
When an airside or waterside economizer system is used,
mechanical cooling is locked out whenever the economizer
is enabled and the economizer position is less than 90% of
full open. This energy saving feature requires that full econo-
mizer potential be used before mechanical cooling is allowed
to energize.
Night Setback and Setup Control
When one of the zone temperature sensor packages is con-
nected to the unit controller, night setback heating and night
setup cooling control is available. Separate, keypad pro-
grammable night heating and cooling setpoints are used to
start the unit when necessary.
Except for 100% outside air applications, night setback con-
trol is available even if the unit is not equipped with any
heating equipment. When the space temperature falls to the
night setback setpoint, the fans simply start and run until the
temperature rises above the differential. This feature might
be useful for applications that use, for example, duct
mounted reheat coils.
Morning Warm-up Control
If the space is cool when the unit enters the occupied mode,
morning warm-up control will keep the outside air damper
closed while heat is supplied. The outside air damper will
remain closed until either the space temperature rises to the
heating setpoint or the keypad adjustable morning warm-up
timer expires (default is 90 minutes). This morning warm-up
timer assures that the minimum required amount of outdoor
air will be supplied after a certain time regardless of the
space temperature.
Morning warm-up control is included with the controllers on
all except 100% outside air units. It is available even if the
unit is not equipped with any heating equipment. This fea-
ture might be useful for applications that use, for example,
VAV boxes with heat.
Step-and-Wait Algorithm
The Step-and-Wait algorithm controls modulating actuators
to maintain a measured variable (temperature or pressure) at
or near its setpoint. For example, it controls economizer
valves to maintain the discharge cooling setpoint, and it con-
trols the supply fan inlet vanes to maintain the duct static
pressure setpoint. Figure 1 on page 15shows a typical Step-
and-Wait application: duct static pressure control.
As its name implies, Step-and-Wait “steps” or modulates an
actuator either open or closed for a certain amount of time
and then “waits” to see the effect on the measured variable.
Because Step-and-Wait includes integral control, “propor-
tional droop” (load dependent offset) is eliminated. This
results in the tightest possible control.
For each actuator, four keypad adjustable step-and-wait
parameters allow the control loop to be properly tuned for
any application: (1) wait time, (2) max step, (3) mod limit,
and (4) dead band. Appropriate default values for these
14
parameters are loaded into each controller. These default val-
ues will provide proper control for most applications; there-
fore, field tuning is usually not required and thus start-up
time is reduced.
Modulating control of supply air temperature by a modulat-
ing economizer system or a modulating heating system can
use the control’s Project Ahead parameters to provide pro-
portional-integral (PI) control.
Change Algorithm
Used only in zone control applications, the Change function
is similar to Step-and-Wait. The difference is that, instead of
adjusting the position of an actuator, Change automatically
adjusts the discharge temperature setpoint (cooling or heat-
ing) as the Control Temperature deviates from the zone set-
point. The Step-and-Wait function actually controls the
economizer or heating valve using the Change function’s
discharge setpoint. Unlike a typical “master-submitter” reset
strategy, the Change function continuously adjusts the dis-
charge setpoint, even if the Control Temperature’s deviation
from setpoint remains constant. This means that the unit’s
cooling or heating output is set according to the actual load,
not just the current zone temperature. The tightest possible
zone temperature control results because “proportional
droop” (load dependent offset) is eliminated.
Calibrate
When initiated at the keypad by an operator, the Calibrate
function automatically calibrates all actuator position feed-
back inputs and all pressure transducer inputs. It does this by
shutting the unit down and then driving all actuators to the
full closed and full open positions. The controller records the
input voltage values that correspond to these positions. The
pressure transducer input voltages, which are assumed for
0.00” W.C., are also recorded. When Calibrate is finished, an
operator command must be entered at the keypad to start the
unit. The Calibrate feature can reduce start-up time and
assist in periodic maintenance.
Relay Outputs for Field Connection
All unit controllers include relay outputs that are available
for field connection to any suitable device. These outputs
are:
Alarm Signal Output: The alarm signal output can be
used to provide a remote alarm signal to a light, annunciator
or other device when an alarm condition exists at the unit.
Both a normally closed and a normally open contact are pro-
vided for the alarm output. Two keypad selected options are
available for remote indication. A “blink” option provides
for an output with multiple pulsing sequences to differentiate
between indications. If the “off” option is selected, all alarm
conditions will initiate the same signal type.
Fan On Output: The fan on output is used to allow isola-
tion dampers and normally closed VAV boxes to be opened
prior to starting the fan. The fan on output has provision for
providing a signal to up to 2 separate devices. The fan on
output closes when the unit goes into start-up initialization.
This provides a minimum time of 120 seconds for damper or
VAV box actuators to drive open before the fan is energized.
Cat 860-3
The fan on output remains closed until 30 seconds after the
MicroTech control system has sensed a no airflow condition.
Pump Start Output: The pump start output is available to
provide a start/stop signal to the condenser water pump. The
pump start output is closed whenever fan operation and cool-
ing are required.
VAV/Heat Output: The VAV/heat output is used to pro-
vide a means of interfacing VAV box system and unit con-
trol. The VAV/heat output is closed whenever the unit is not
in a heating mode. This provides indication to the VAV
boxes that they must be in the cooling mode. The VAV/heat
output is open whenever the unit is providing heat or is in the
recirculation mode. When the VAV/heat output is open, the
VAV boxes should be driven open to allow full airflow; i.e.,
“morning warm-up” operation. To avoid potential over pres-
surization, the unit’s inlet vanes, or other VAV device, are
driven to a minimum position before the VAV/heat output is
closed for cooling operation. This is called the Post Heat
operating state.

Static Control

Outside Air Damper Output: The outside air damper
output is available to signal an outside air damper actuator to

condition.
Operating Hours
All standard unit controllers maintain a series of operating
times for use by the system operator. Maintained in the unit
Cat 860-3
controller for display via the keypad/display or central moni-
toring system are:
1. Accumulated tenant override hours
2. Accumulated fan operating hours
3. Accumulated operating hours for each individual com-
pressor
4. Accumulated heating operating hours
5. Accumulated economizer operating hours
Standard Control Options
Model SWP self-contained systems are available for most
constant or variable air volume applications. Three basic
control configurations are available: variable air volume
(VAV), constant air volume with zone temperature control
(CAV-ZTC), and constant air volume with discharge temper-
ature control (CAV-DTC). The many available control
options and features, both factory installed and keypad pro-
grammable, allow these three types of systems to be custom-
ized to meet the requirements of the most demanding
applications.
Variable Air Volume (VAV)
All VAV units provide discharge temperature control in addi-
tion to duct static pressure control. Cooling only, cooling
with two-stage “morning warm-up” heat, and cooling with
modulating or staged heat configurations are available.
Constant Air Volume with Zone Tempera-
ture Control (CAV-ZTC)
CAV-ZTC units are available in either cooling or cooling
with modulating or staged heat configurations. Either of
these configurations is available for 100% return, mixed, or
100% outdoor air applications.
Constant Air Volume with Discharge Tem-
perature Control (CAV-DTC)
CAV-DTC units are available in cooling only, cooling with
two-stage “morning warm-up” heat, or cooling with modu-
lating or staged heat configurations. This type of unit can be
used for applications that have zone controlled terminal
reheat coils. The discharge temperature control strategies
used with the hybrid CAV-DTC unit are identical to those
used with the VAV unit. Constant, 100% outdoor air volume
applications can be accommodated.
Discharge Temperature Control
The MicroTech controller on VAV and CAV-DTC units pro-
vides sophisticated and flexible discharge air temperature
control that is only possible with DDC systems. Separate
discharge air temperature setpoints are used for cooling and
modulating heating control. At the keypad, the operator can
either enter the desired setpoints or select separate reset
methods and parameters for each setpoint (see “Supply Air
Reset” below).
Control Temperature
The heat/cool changeover decision is made by the Control
Temperature. It determines whether cooling or heating is
15
enabled; whether cooling or heating is actually supplied is
determined by the discharge temperature. At the keypad, the
operator can choose the source of the Control Temperature
from among the following selections.
● Space temperature sensor
● Return temperature sensor
● Outside air temperature sensor (modulating heating and
cooling only)
● Network signal
The operator can enter separate cool and heat enable set-
points and dead bands that the Control Temperature is com-
pared with (see Figure 3). When the Control Temperature is
greater than the cool setpoint plus dead band, cooling is
enabled. When the Control Temperature is less than the heat
setpoint minus dead band, heating is enabled. If desired,
these setpoints and dead bands can be set so that there
always is an energy saving dead band in which both cooling
and heating are disabled. The controller’s software will pre-
vent cooling and heating from being inadvertently enabled at
the same time.
Figure 3. Control Temperature: Discharge Control
Applications
Step-and-Wait Modulation
When free cooling or modulating heating is required, dis-
charge temperature control is maintained by the Step-and-
Wait algorithm, which provides precise control of the
optional economizer valves or dampers and modulating
steam or hot water heating valves.
Nearest SAT Compressor Staging
This new control feature stages cooling capacity whenever
such a change results in the supply air temperature (SAT)
being closer to the SAT cooling setpoint. This method results
in fewer stage changes and hence less fluctuation in unit sup-
ply air temperature and VAV box airflow. When operating in
this control mode, the MicroTech controller calculates the
16
change in SAT associated with the last compressor staging
change. This value is then used in making the next compres-
sor staging decision. If the calculated change will result in an
SAT further from setpoint than the existing state, staging
action will be avoided.
Supply Air Reset
By automatically varying the discharge air temperature to
suit the building’s cooling or heating load, supply air temper-
ature reset can increase the energy efficiency of VAV and
CAV-DTC units. MicroTech controllers offer a variety of
different reset strategies that can be selected at the keypad.
Because they are keypad programmable, they can be
changed or eliminated as desired. Separate strategies can be
selected for both cooling and modulating heating. If reset is
not desired, a fixed discharge cooling or heating setpoint can
be entered.
The following reset methods are available:
● Space temperature
● Return temperature
● Outdoor air temperature
● Supply airflow (VAV, cooling setpoint only)
● External 1-5 VDC or 4-20mA signal
● Network signal
For all types of reset, the minimum and maximum discharge
setpoints for both cooling and heating are keypad program-
mable. For the temperature reset methods, the corresponding
minimum and maximum space, return and outdoor air tem-
perature parameters are also keypad programmable. For the
supply airflow method, the discharge setpoint will be reset as
the supply fan inlet vane position varies. For the external
method, the discharge setpoint will be reset as the voltage or
current signal varies over its entire range. For units in a
MicroTech or Open Protocol network, the discharge set-
points can be rest via a network signal.
Zone Temperature Control
The MicroTech control on CAV-ZTC units provides sophis-
ticated and flexible zone temperature control that is only
possible with DDC systems. Separate zone temperature set-
points are used for both cooling and heating control. These
setpoints are set at the keypad.
Control Temperature
The Control Temperature is the representative zone tempera-
ture. When compared with the zone setpoints, the Control
Temperature determines whether the unit will supply heat-
ing, cooling, or neither. It also determines the amount of
cooling or heating required to satisfy the load. Its source can
be selected at the keypad from among the following selec-
tions:
● Zone temperature sensor
● Return temperature sensor
● Network signal
Because it is the representative zone temperature, the Con-
trol Temperature is the primary input to MicroTech’s zone
temperature control algorithms. Figure 4shows the control
parameters that the Control Temperature is compared with to
control the cooling or heating output. The functions of these
Cat 860-3
parameters are described below. The controller’s software
will prevent cooling and heating from being inadvertently
enabled at the same time.
Figure 4. Control Temperatures: Zone Control
Application
Change and Step-and-Wait Modulation
When free cooling or modulating heating is required, Micro-
Tech’s Change and Step-and-Wait functions, which consti-
tute a cascade-type control loop, work together to provide
the tightest possible zone temperature control. By control-
ling the discharge temperature along with the zone tempera-
ture, these functions eliminate temperature variations near
the diffusers that could otherwise occur as a result of zone
control’s inherent lag effect.
Change: If the Control Temperature is above or below the
setpoint by more than the dead band, the Change function
periodically adjusts the cooling or heating discharge air tem-
perature setpoint either up or down as necessary. The amount
of this setpoint change corresponds to the Control Tempera-
ture’s position in the modulation range. The farther the Con-
trol Temperature is from setpoint, the greater the discharge
setpoint change will be. The Change-adjusted discharge
cooling and heating setpoints are limited to ranges defined
by keypad programmable maximum and minimum values.
Step-and-Wait: Using the Change function’s current dis-
charge setpoint, the Step-and-Wait function maintains pre-
cise discharge temperature control. This control is obtained
by modulating the optional economizer valve or damper or
by modulating the valves of the steam, hot water or chilled
water coils.
Compressor Staging
When mechanical cooling is necessary, compressor staging
is controlled directly by the Control Temperature. When the
Cat 860-3
Control Temperature is warmer than the zone cooling set-
point, cooling is staged up; when the Control Temperature is
cooler than the zone cooling setpoint, cooling is staged
down. However, a stage change can only occur when the
Control Temperature is outside the dead band (see Figure 4).
Staging is constrained by an interstage delay timer (default is
five minutes) and minimum and maximum discharge air
temperature limits (all keypad programmable). These con-
straints protect the compressors while eliminating tempera-
ture variations near the diffusers. (The modulating range
shown in Figure 4is not used for compressor staging con-
trol.)
Electric Heat Staging
When electric heating is necessary, heat staging is controlled
directly by the Control Temperature. When the Control Tem-
perature is cooler than the zone heating setpoint, heating is
staged up; when the Control Temperature is hotter than the
zone heating setpoint, heating is staged down. However, a
stage change can only occur when the Control Temperature
is outside the dead band (see Figure 4). Staging is con-
strained by an interstage delay timer (default is five minutes)
and minimum and maximum discharge air temperatures lim-
its (all keypad programmable). (The modulating range
shown in Figure 4is not used for electric staging control.)
Project Ahead Algorithm
Because the inherent lag effect in zone temperature control
applications can cause setpoint overshoot, MicroTech fea-
tures the “Project Ahead” control algorithm. Project Ahead
calculates the rate at which the Control Temperature is
changing and adjusts the unit’s cooling or heating output as
required to compensate for the space’s thermal time con-
stant. A separate, keypad programmable Project Ahead time
parameter for both heating and cooling allows for fine tun-
ing.
Duct Static Pressure Control
On all VAV units, duct static pressure control is maintained
by the Step-and-Wait algorithm, which provides precise con-
trol of the supply fan inlet vanes or variable frequency drive.
The keypad programmable setpoint can be set between 0.20”
WC. and 4.00” WC.
If an optional second duct static sensor is provided, Micro-
Tech will automatically select and use the lower of the two
sensed pressures to control the VAV control device. This fea-
ture can ensure that adequate static pressure is supplied
throughout the VAV system at all times.
Building Static Pressure Control
To maintain building static pressure for 100% outside air
systems with variable exhaust, the SWP MicroTech control-
ler has an available control option to control variable inlet
vanes or variable frequency drives based on building static
pressure. A building static pressure sensor input is used in
place of the duct static pressure sensor input. Consult your
local McQuay sales representative for details.

Figure 5. Operating States
Note: During Night Setback and Night Setup operation, the outside air
damper output is off and the minimum outside air setpoint for an air-
side economizer is set to zero in these states.
Operating States
operating states define the current overall status of the sys-
tem. With one keystroke, the operator can display the current
operating state and thereby quickly assess the unit’s condi-
tion.
Operating states and the transitions between them help to
describe the unit’s sequences of operation. Figure 5shows all
possible operating states and transitions. Depending on the
unit options, some operating states may not apply. For exam-
ple, a 100% outside air unit will not have the Morning
Warm-up, Recirculate, Economizer, or Unoccupied Econo-
mizer operating states. Following are descriptions of each
operating state.
Off
In the off operating state, the unit is shut down. The fan is
off, the outside air dampers are closed, the inlet vanes are
closed, and cooling and heating are disabled. The Fan only
output is open and the VAV/Heat output is open.
When the off state is displayed, the reason the unit is off is
also displayed. Six different states are possible:
● Off: Alarm
● Off: Service
● Off: Manual
● Off: Network
● Off: Unoccupied
● Off: Fan Switch
18
Start-up Initialization
The Start-up Initialization operating state always occurs just
after the off state when the unit has been commanded to start.
During Start-up Initialization, the Fan only output is closed
to indicate that the fans are about to start. On VAV units, the
supply fan inlet vanes (if any) are modulated to a minimum
position. The minimum vane position assures that the fans
will start unloaded while allowing airflow status to be
proven quickly. The Start-up Initialization state lasts for a
minimum three minutes (field adjustable).
Recirculate
The recirculate operating state begins after Start-up Initial-
ization when the fan is energized. It allows temperature con-
ditions throughout the unit and space to equalize before
temperature control begins. During Recirculate, cooling and
heating are disabled and the outside air dampers remain
closed. On VAV units, the VAV box output is opened, and the
inlet vanes are modulated to maintain the duct static pressure
setpoint. A keypad programmable timer (1 to 60 minutes)
limits the duration of the Recirculate period.
Post Heat
The Post Heat operating state is applicable to VAV units. In
conjunction with the VAV box output, it eliminates duct over
pressurization problems that could otherwise occur during
the transition from heating to cooling operation when the
VAV boxes regain zone temperature control. During Post
Heat, the outside air dampers maintain their previous posi-
tion (closed or minimum), cooling and heating are disabled,
and the VAV box output remains open. Normal duct static
pressure control is overridden and the supply fan inlet vanes
are forced to a minimum position.
Post Heat always occurs after the Recirculate state or any
heating state. Typically, the VAV boxes are forced to a wide
open position during operation in these states to facilitate
rapid heat transfer to the space. As a result, the inlet vanes
are wide open to supply the maximum volume of air. By
forcing the supply vanes to their minimum position before
the VAV box output closes, Post Heat eliminates the possibil-
ity of duct over pressurization because the duct pressure
drops before the VAV boxes close off. The Post Heat timer is
keypad adjustable and has a default value of zero seconds.
Fan Only
The Fan only operating state occurs during occupied opera-
tion when cooling and heating are either not required or
manually disabled. During Fan only the outside air dampers
are at minimum position, and cooling and heating are dis-
abled. The heat box output is closed and normal duct static
pressure control is maintained.
Fan On-Heating
The Fan only-Heating operating state, which is available
only on units that have factory installed heating equipment,
is similar to Fan on. The difference is that heating is enabled
to maintain an acceptable discharge temperature in the Fan
only-Heating state. For VAV and CAV-DTC units, Fan only-
Heating prevents the discharge temperature from falling
below the current discharge cooling setpoint. For CAV-ZTC
Cat 860-3
units, Fan only-Heating prevents the discharge temperature
from falling below an adjustable Fan only-Heating setpoint.
By supplying heat instead of closing the outside air dampers
as many other control systems do, the Fan only-Heating state
assures that proper discharge temperatures are maintained
without sacrificing indoor air quality. This feature is particu-
larly valuable for buildings in colder climates that have high
minimum outdoor air requirements.
Heating
The Heating operating state occurs when heating is required
to satisfy the occupied heating setpoints. During the Heating
state, the outside air dampers are held at their minimum posi-
tion. On VAV units, the VAV box output is open and normal
duct static pressure control is maintained.
Unoccupied Heating
The Unoccupied Heating operating state occurs when night
setback heating is required to satisfy the unoccupied zone
heating setpoint. It always follows the Start-Up Initialization
and Recirculate operating states. During Unoccupied Heat-
ing, the outside air dampers are closed and the occupied out-
put is closed. On VAV units, the VAV box output is open and
normal duct static pressure control is maintained.
Morning Warm-up
The Morning Warm-up operating state occurs just after the
transition from unoccupied to occupied when heating is
required to satisfy the occupied heating setpoints. Morning
warm-up is similar to Heating; the difference is that the out-
side air dampers are held shut. The unit will remain in the
Morning Warm-up state until either the Control Temperature
rises to the heating setpoint or the morning warm-up timer
expires.
Economizer
The Economizer operating state occurs when cooling is
required to satisfy the occupied cooling setpoints and free
cooling is available. During Economizer state, mechanical
cooling and heating are disabled when the economizer is
below 90% open. The economizer dampers or valves are
modulated to maintain the discharge cooling setpoint.
When conditions are such that the economizer is enabled,
but unable to satisfy the cooling load, the transition from the
Economizer state to the Cooling state will occur. Normally
this will happen when (1) the economizer actuator is more
than 90% open and (2) the supply air temperature is above
the setpoint by more than a keypad programmable dead band
value (default is 1°F). The transition can also occur if (1) the
Cat 860-3
economizer has been active for at least 10 minutes and (2)
the supply air temperature is above the setpoint by more than
a keypad programmable dead band value plus 3°F. This
backup feature will ensure that cooling is provided if the
economizer control device gets stuck. Once mechanical
cooling is enabled, the economizer is driven to full open and
remains there until either mechanical cooling is no longer
necessary or the economizer is no longer suitable for free
cooling.
Unoccupied Economizer
If the economizer operation is suitable for free cooling when
night setup operation is required, the unit will start and oper-
ate in the Unoccupied Economizer state. During Unoccupied
Economizer, the economizer is modulated to maintain the
discharge cooling setpoint and the occupied output is closed.
On VAV units, the VAV box output is closed and normal duct
static pressure control is maintained.
For night setup operation, the transition from the Unoccu-
pied Economizer state to the Unoccupied Cooling state is
similar to the occupied transition described above in “Econo-
mizer.”
Cooling
When mechanical cooling is required during occupied opera-
tion, the unit enters the Cooling state. Depending on the
economizer changeover condition, economizer will be either
fully open or at minimum condition (closed if water side
economizer) during Cooling. The compressors will be staged
up or down as required to maintain the occupied cooling set-
point.
Unoccupied Cooling
When mechanical cooling is required during unoccupied
operation, the unit enters the Unoccupied Cooling state. De-
pending on the economizer changeover condition, econo-
mizer will be either fully open or closed during Cooling. The
compressors will be staged up or down as required to main-
tain the occupied cooling setpoint.
Alarm Management and Control
MicroTech unit controllers are capable of sophisticated
alarm management and controlled response functions. Each
alarm that occurs is prioritized, indicated, and responded to
with the appropriate action. The current alarm and previous
alarms, which each include a time and date stamp, can be
displayed at the keypad.

Monitor™ for Windows Software Figure 6. Typical MicroTech Monitor for Windows
Display Screens
A personal computer (PC) equipped with MicroTech Moni-
tor for Windows software can be used to provide a high-level
operator interface with the MicroTech unit controller. It can
be connected to the controller either directly, via a single
twisted, shielded pair cable, or remotely, via phone lines
with an optional modem. If the controller is part of a Micro-
Tech network, PC monitoring can be done via network com-
munications.

For maximum convenience and best operation, the PC

should be considered dedicated to the MicroTech system.
However, because all MicroTech controllers can operate
independently of a PC, the operator can exit the Monitor pro-
gram to perform other tasks without affecting equipment
control.

MicroTech Monitor 2.0 for Windows
(Optional)
MicroTech Monitor 2.0 for Windows is a customized com-
puter software package, providing an interactive interface
with MicroTech equipment in a building automation system
(BAS). This interactive interface allows the user to monitor
and control MicroTech unit and network controllers.
MicroTech Monitor 2.0 features the full set of Windows
capabilities and uses familiar Windows pull-down menus in
conjunction with a mouse or keyboard commands to perform
monitoring and control functions. Monitor 2.0 is fully Year
2000 compliant.
Monitor’s basic features are designed to manage a series of
SWPs, and other MicroTech unit or network controllers, in a
HVAC subsystem. Each SWP is represented by a series of
screens that display graphical and text information about the
equipment and its environment.
MicroTech Open Protocol
MicroTech Open Protocol is a commitment from McQuay
International to provide a cost effective means for integrat-
ing McQuay International equipment with various building
automation systems (BAS) through strategic and joint
efforts with most BAS manufacturers.
Protocols are defined by a set of rules governing data
exchanges between microprocessors, thereby facilitating
communications between controllers utilizing the same pro-
tocol. When proprietary protocols are employed by various
BAS manufacturers, communications between the control-

lers from different BAS manufacturers is not possible with-
out some means of translation. Standard protocols (i.e.,
BACnet, LonTalk®, etc.) are evolving within the HVAC
industry to allow manufacturers to use the same protocol
thereby facilitating communications between controllers
provided by different BAS manufacturers. However, while
the industry waits for more manufacturers to begin using
standard protocols in their products, Open Protocol contin-
ues to provide the means for low-cost integration of Micro-
Tech controllers into a BAS by “opening” the proprietary
MicroTech protocol to a large number of BAS providers,
who are then called Open Protocol partners. Open Protocol
partners have the ability to establish direct communications
between McQuay International equipment and their system.
MicroTech unit controllers provide superior control for
McQuay International equipment. Each controller contains
a comprehensive set of monitoring and control points that
are available for BAS designers to use in meeting the
requirements of specific applications. When an existing or
specified BAS is either deployed or being planned for a job,
an Open Protocol site license allows the BAS provider to
directly use these monitoring and control points in their sys-
tem. Each BAS manufacturer determines the extent to
which their interface takes advantage of the monitoring and
control points available from various MicroTech controllers.
(See Figure 7)
In summary, McQuay International’s Open Protocol product
currently allows building designers, owners, managers and
operators to obtain the benefits of using McQuay Interna-
tional equipment with superior MicroTech controllers with-
out sacrificing the flexibility to have the equipment
interoperate with a BAS of their choice.

Protocol product, please contact your local McQuay Interna-
tional representative.

MicroTech BACdrop Panel (BACnet)
The MicroTech BACdrop panel is a gateway that allows any
BACnet-based building automation system (BAS) to com-
municate with most MicroTech unit or supervisory control-
lers. The BACdrop panel translates between the BACnet
standard protocol (ANSI/ASHRAE 135-1995) and the
MicroTech proprietary protocol. Technically speaking, the
BACdrop panel is a BACnet router. From the BACnet side
of the gateway, the MicroTech controllers appear to be BAC-
net nodes with normal BACnet objects and services. Thus
the MicroTech nodes become virtual BACnet controllers,
and the BACdrop gateway itself becomes essentially trans-
parent. No modifications to standard MicroTech hardware
or current software are necessary to enable the BACdrop
gateway to work. (See Figure 8 on page 23)
BACnet was developed as an industry standard protocol to
allow different BAS manufacturers to use the same protocol,
thereby facilitating communications between controllers
regardless of manufacturer. The BACnet standard was
developed with flexibility in mind. It recognizes that a typi-
cal BAS includes many types of devices (e.g., smart sensors,
smart actuators, controllers, PC interfaces) with a variety of
functions and capabilities. Not every BACnet device how-
ever, needs to implement the same set of BACnet elements.
To facilitate the discussion and specification of BACnet
devices, such as the BACdrop panel, the BACnet standard
requires each BACnet device to have a protocol implementa-

tion conformance statement (PICS). The PICS is a concise
summary of all the BACnet features that have been imple-
mented in a particular BACnet device. McQuay Interna-
tional has released two PICS; one for the BACdrop panel
and one for the MicroTech controller applications (virtual
BACnet devices). A common PICS is used for all Micro-
Tech controllers (virtual BACnet devices) because at the
nuts-and-bolts level of BACnet, all MicroTech applications
are supported identically.
In general, the BACdrop gateway provides the BACnet BAS
and its supported MicroTech controllers with about the same
capabilities that they would have in an Open Protocol appli-
cation. That is, the BAS may read from or write to the
MicroTech controllers, but the MicroTech controllers may
not request any data from any device on the BACnet side of
the gateway. The MicroTech network is passive-just like in
an Open Protocol application.
In summary, McQuay International’s BACdrop panel allows
building designers, owners, managers and operators to
obtain the benefits of using McQuay International equipment
with superior MicroTech controllers without sacrificing the
flexibility to have the equipment interoperate with a BACnet
BAS.

drop panel, please contact your local McQuay International

Application Considerations
The following section contains basic application and instal-
lation guidelines which should be considered as part of the
detailed analysis of any specific project.
General
The units are intended to be used for normal heating, venti-
lating and air conditioning applications. The factory should
be consulted for applications involving operation at high
entering condenser water temperatures, low cfm per ton,
high cfm per ton, 100% outside air and high altitudes. Spe-
cial selections are available to meet a wide variety of special
applications. The factory should also be consulted for appli-
cations requiring modified or special control sequences.
Unit Location
Care should be taken to insure that the floor is structurally
strong enough to support the unit with minimum deflection.
Provide proper structural support to minimize sound and
vibration transmission. A concrete floor should be consid-
ered. Extra caution is required when installing on a wooden
structure. Units must be installed level from front-to-back
and over their length.
Unit fresh air intakes should be located away from building
flue stacks or exhaust ventilators to prevent the possible rein-
troduction of contaminated air to the system. Consult code
requirements for minimum fresh air volumes.
Sufficient space should be allowed around the unit for ser-
vice and maintenance clearance. Refer to Figure 9 for rec-
ommended service/maintenance clearances. See also
“Recommended Clearances.” Locate equipment room access
doors in a manner that can assist in service access if needed
(i.e., coil removal). Contact your local McQuay sales repre-
sentative if reduced service/maintenance clearances are
required.
Where code considerations, such as the NEC, require
extended clearances, they take precedence over minimum
service/maintenance clearances.
Acoustical Considerations
Proper acoustical design is a critical part of any successful
installation. McQuay SWP systems have been specifically
researched, designed and constructed to provide quiet sys-
tem operation and have been successfully installed in many
projects, large and small, throughout the world. Multiple
compressors, acoustic cabinet design, aerodynamic fan out-
let and more make the SWP the choice for quiet operation.
SWP units have achieved sound levels in the NC35 to NC40
range and have been recognized by renowned acoustic con-
sultants for their low noise levels.
Each installation should be reviewed for its own specific
requirements with the following installation recommenda-
tions as a guide. For job specific requirements, contact an
acoustical consultant for assistance.

Note: 36 inch is required if water and condensate drain connections are
left-hand.
Equipment Room
The equipment room should be located away from sensitive
areas. Whenever possible, isolate the equipment room from
these areas by locating rest rooms, utility rooms, stairwells,
hallways, elevators, etc., around its perimeter. This allows
not only isolation from radiated sound but provides the capa-
bility to route ductwork over less sensitive areas.
The equipment room should be acoustically sealed. All
equipment room penetrations should be sealed with a high
quality, flexible material to prevent air and noise from escap-
ing. Even a small leak will compromise the acoustic perfor-
mance of the installation. The equipment room door should
be gasketed and designed to seal tightly.
Equipment room wall construction should be concrete block
or offset, double stud. The decision will depend on the criti-
cal nature of the application. If offset, double stud construc-
tion is used the cavity should be lined with glass fiber
insulation and a double layer of sheetrock used on each side
of the wall.
Factory designed and built acoustic discharge plenums are
available, with multiple outlets, to minimize difficult transi-
tions, tight radius duct connections and the sound compro-
mises they can cause.
Ductwork
Fan noise will be carried through the ductwork to occupied
spaces and likely will be the most challenging to control.
Careful duct design and routing practice is required. The
ASHRAE Applications Handbook discusses sound attenua-
tion relevant to self-contained system applications. Acousti-
cal science has advanced to where sound levels in a given
Cat 860-3
space can be designed for if equipment sound power data is
available. Contact your local McQuay sales representative
for sound power data for your specific application.
Return Duct
The return duct is the most often over looked. Return air can
be ducted directly to the unit or ducted into the equipment
room. If ducted to the equipment room, an elbow should be
installed within the equipment room. Running a return air
drop to near the floor of the room will provide added attenu-
ation. A length of lined ductwork should extend from the
equipment room to a length of 15 feet. The maximum rec-
ommended return air duct velocity is 1000 feet per minute.
Supply Duct
A lined section of supply air duct should extend at least 15
feet from the equipment room. The use of round duct should
be reviewed as it will significantly reduce low frequency
sound near the equipment room. If rectangular duct is used,
the aspect ratio of the duct should be kept as small as possi-
ble. The large flat surfaces associated with large aspect ratios
will transmit sound to the space and the potential for duct
generated noise, such as oil canning, is increased. The maxi-
mum recommended supply air duct velocity is 2000 feet per
minute.
A factory designed and built acoustic discharge plenum is
available for making the first turn off the unit. Multiple fac-
tory fabricated outlet opening sizes are available as well as
multiple openings in a single plenum. Fan discharge orienta-
tion must be selected such that a front or back outlet allows
the air to turn in the direction of fan rotation. If direct duct-
ing to the fan outlet, a minimum of two fan diameters from
the fan outlet is recommended and the elbow should turn in
the direction of fan rotation. Abrupt turns, takeoffs, etc., will
generate air turbulence and resulting unwanted sound and
should be avoided.
Vibration Isolation
All SWP systems feature internally isolated components,
virtually eliminating the need for costly external isolation.
Whereas some manufacturers vary isolation quality with unit
size, all SWP fans are statically and dynamically balanced
and all fan assemblies are mounted on spring isolators. Flex-
ible canvas connections isolate the fan housing from the dis-
charge panel. Seismic restrained isolators are also available.
All units feature multiple, internally spring isolated hermetic
compressors set on secondary rubber isolators. In addition,
all units are shipped with 1 inch isolation pads.
Duct connections to the unit or to the acoustic discharge ple-
num should be made with a flexible connection. This will
prevent possible vibration set up by unit airflow from being
transmitted back to the unit.
Flexible piping and electrical connections should not be
required because of the internal isolation unit in all SWP
units. However, attention should be paid to these areas to
avoid vibration transmission from outside sources to the
SWP unit.
Cat 860-3
Condenser Water Piping
Always follow good industry practice in the design of the
water piping system. Attention to water treatment and proper
strainer application are always necessary. All SWP systems
feature mechanically cleanable condensers and optional
waterside economizer coils. In addition to mechanically
cleanable heat exchangers, cleanouts are provided in the
interconnecting piping and in the internal condensate drain
trap. No costly field traps are required. To allow periodic
cleaning of the condensers and economizer coils, isolation
valves should be provided. Condensers and economizer and
hot water coils are provided with vent and drain connections.
If cold entering condenser water conditions (<55°F) will be
experienced, a waterside economizer or a condenser head
pressure control valve is required. A 2-way, head pressure
activated control valve is available factory installed for these
applications. A head pressure control valve is not required
when the SWP unit is applied with factory waterside econo-
mizer package.
Duct Protection
An adjustable duct high limit switch is standard equipment
on all SWP system’s with VAV controls. This is of particular
importance when fast acting, normally closed boxes are
used. The switch is field adjustable and must be set to meet
the specific rating of the system ductwork.
Variable Air Volume
SWP variable air volume units can be used for cooling only
applications, cooling with morning warm-up control and
cooling with modulating heat. Units are available with vari-
able inlet vanes, high/low speed dual motors or variable fre-
quency drives.
The static pressure should be sensed near the end of the main
duct trunk. The MicroTech static pressure control should be
adjusted so that at full airflow all of the terminals receive the
minimum static pressure required plus any downstream
resistance. Control is to the lowest static pressure set point
that will satisfy airflow requirements. Lower static pressure
setpoints will reduce fan brake horsepower requirements and
fan sound generation.
The static pressure sensor tap should be located in the duct-
work in an area free from turbulence effects and at least 10
duct diameters downstream and several duct diameters
upstream from any major interference, including branch
takeoffs. The SWP MicroTech control system can receive a
second duct static sensor in installations having multiple
duct trunks or significantly varying zones. The control logic
will maintain static pressure at both sensors.
Zone Sensor Placement
Placement of the zone temperature sensor is extremely
important to assure proper and economical operation of the
heating and cooling system. It is generally recommended
that the space sensor be located on an inside wall (3 to 5 feet
from an outside wall) in a space having a floor area of at
least 400 square feet. The sensor should not be located below
the outlet of a supply air diffuser, in the direct rays of the
25
sun, on a wall adjacent to an unheated or abnormally warm
room (boiler or incinerator room), or near any heat produc-
ing equipment. Where zone sensor placement is a problem,
all SWP zone control systems have, as standard, the capabil-
ity to use the return air sensor for heating & cooling control.
System Operating Limits
SWP units can be applied in a wide range of system needs.
High cfm/ton or high/low discharge temperature applications
are available. However, for proper system operation, some
application limits do apply.
Airflow
Maximum cfm limits, by unit size, are given in the physical
data table.
Separate minimum design cfm limits, by unit size, are given
in the physical data table for constant and variable air vol-
ume applications. Fan modulation should be limited to 40%
of the minimum design cfm limit. Minimum airflow condi-
tions are also dependent on fan selection criteria. Contact
your McQuay sales representative to answer any questions
on minimum airflow capability or for conditions not shown
in the catalog.
VAV box minimum airflow settings should correspond with
the minimum VAV fan operating point. All units are pro-
vided with multi-groove, fixed pitch sheaves. During system
air balance, alternate fixed pitch sheaves may be needed to
match final system requirements. Alternate sheaves are
available from McQuay.
Condenser Water Flow
System capacity tables provide selections for a condenser
flow rate of 3 gpm/ton. For a given entering condenser water
temperature, 3 gpm/ton will provide maximum unit perfor-
mance. Reducing condenser water flow rates to 2.5 or
2 gpm/ton can significantly reduce pumping energy costs
26
and reduce piping costs. The reduction in pumping energy
can be compared to the change in unit performance and an
evaluation made. The SWP capacity tables can be used for
condenser flow rates from 2 to 3 gpm/ton by using the appro-
priate leaving condenser water temperature column (interpo-
lation is allowed). Minimum condenser flow rate is
2 gpm/ton.
Coil Freeze Protection
Consideration must always be made for coil freeze protec-
tion when applying units in geographic areas which see sub-
freezing temperatures. Careful design of outside air/return
air mixing systems is critical to minimizing freeze potential.
Some applications may require the use of glycol and/or pre-
heat coils. No control sequence can prevent coil freezing in
the event of power failure.
A nonaveraging type freezestat safety control is an available
factory installed option. If a potential freeze condition is
sensed, unit water valves will be driven to the full open posi-
tion, the supply fan de-energized and an alarm signal
sounded.
In nonducted return applications where the equipment room
is the mixing plenum, some form of heat within the equip-
ment room should be considered.
Unit Wiring
All units require 3-phase, 60 Hz, 208, 230, 460 or 575 volt
power or 3-phase, 50 Hz, 400 volt power. Units will operate
satisfactorily at ±10% of rated voltage at the power connec-
tion terminals of the unit. All units include individual branch
circuit fusing of all motor loads and have a single-point
power connection. A factory mounted, nonfused disconnect
switch is an available option.
All wiring must be installed in accordance with the NEC and
local codes.

tems, any parts of the BACnet protocol relative to the spe-
cific application, and the actual pieces of data accessible in
each type of unit or supervisory controller. The ability for
unit and supervisory controllers to interoperate with the BAS
through BACnet shall not require field mounting of any
additional sensors or devices at the unit. Multiple unit or
supervisory controllers may be connected in a common com-
munications network that shall require only a single, consol-
idated BACnet ISO 8802-3 (Ethernet)) connection for access
by the independent BAS to all controllers in the network.
Any BACnet device required containing such a consolidated
