The MACH-Pro1™ controller includes a Reset button located below the MS/TP-Net terminal
block on the left-hand side of the controller face.
Reset Button
FIGURE 12: RESET BUTTON CLOSE UP
Avoid using the Reset button unless absolutely necessary. Read and understand the
following material before using the Reset button.
The Reset button is only functional when pressed with the MACH-Pro1™ controller
powered down. It is not necessary to remove the cover to press the Reset button; however,
a tool with a thin protrusion of at least 6 mm (0.25") in length will be required.
Starting with the MACH-Pro1™ controller powered down, there are three different results of
a Reset button press, each dependent on how long the Reset button is held down. The
firmware remains intact during all three procedures.

MACH-PRO1™
User Interface
Table 5 details the three Reset button results.
OVERVIEW
TABLE 5: RESULTS OF RESET BUTTON PRESS
Clear Description
Non-Volatile With the power off, press and hold the Reset button for two
RAM seconds. The Clear Non-Volatile RAM method resets the
capacitor-backed RAM memory, clearing Trend Log data,
Runtime Log data, BACnet Address Binding Table, BACset Table,
NET Ins and Net Outs, and Variable present values. Variable
values go to the last written value saved in the Flash backup of the
database. (All of these items are automatically regenerated after
the controller returns to normal operation.)
Database Press and hold during a power up, and release within five seconds
after power up. The status LED located below the power switch
flashes once per second. The Clear Database method resets the
capacitor-backed RAM (as described above), and also clears the
database. The controller pan file will need to be restored following
this action.
MSet Press and hold during a power up, and release after the reset
sequence is complete. The status LED located below the power
switch will flash five times. The MACH-Pro1™ controller will remain
off for 2–3 seconds, then all of the status LEDs will flash repeatedly
for 2–3 seconds, at which point normal operation will resume. The
Reset button must be held down until this sequence is complete.
The Clear MSet method produces the results described above
and also clears the MSet configuration. The MACH-Pro1™
controller reverts to the factory default configuration.
USER GUIDE

ONBOARD INPUT/OUTPUT
The MACH-Pro1™ controller incorporates a complete onboard MACH-ProPoint™ Input/
Output Universal expansion module.
The onboard expansion module always uses address number 1 on I/O-Net. If additional
expansion modules are connected externally to I/O-Net, the first external address will
always be number two.
MANUAL OVERRIDE OF OUTPUTS
The MACH-Pro1™ is available in two models. The MP1 does not include Hand/Off/Auto
(HOA) switches. Each of the eight outputs on an MP1-H model is equipped with an HOA
switch and override potentiometer hard-wired into the output circuit. When an HOA switch
is in the HAND position, the voltage at the output terminals is determined by the associated
potentiometer. It is recommended to use a flat-blade screwdriver when adjusting the
potentiometer, being careful to not make contact with any sensitive electronics. Rotating
the potentiometer clockwise results in higher voltage, while counter-clockwise results in a
lower voltage. The associated output’s LED will dim or brighten in relation to the output
voltage. The factory default position for the output potentiometers (fully clockwise) results
in full voltage being connected to the output.
When an HOA switch is in the OFF position, the output voltage is zero. When an HOA
switch is in the AUTO position, the output voltage is determined by software programming
in the host controller, or by a software override command from an RC-Studio® 2.0
workstation.

EIA-485 NETWORK WIRING
Proper installation and configuration of the EIA-485 network is key to ensuring proper op-
eration of the MACH-Pro1™ controller. For a detailed description of EIA-485 installation and
configuration requirements for MS/TP networks, please refer to the Networking eLearning
module, available at www.reliablecontrols.com.
EIA-485 NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
The MS/TP-Net port utilizes EIA-485 communications for all options. The requirements for
a functional EIA-485 network are described below.
The MACH-Pro1™ EIA-485 removable network terminal block is located on the left side of
the device.

EIA-485 Network Wiring
TO CONNECT THE MACH-PRO1™ TO A NETWORK
OVERVIEW
1 Using EIA-485 certified communication cable, with an ideal Characteristic
Impedance of 108 Ohms, 18 or 22 AWG two conductor, twisted and shielded, and
low capacitance (below 25 pF/ft), connect one conductor to the A- terminal and the
other to the B+ terminal of the controller.
2 Daisy-chain the network cable as shown below (avoid star and stub connections).
3 Ground the shielding in one place only and join inter-networked shields together
using a wire nut (marrette). Each network should only have the shield grounded in
a single location.

USER GUIDE

END-OF-LINE TERMINATION
On all EIA-485 networks, except I/O-Net, it is necessary to add EOL terminators to prevent
reflected noise returning into the network. The EOL terminators must be installed on the
controllers at the extremities of the network.
To terminate the MACH-Pro1™controller, set the two-position EOL switches as shown in

Figure 25.
If the network is not terminated properly, the MACH-Pro1™ controller may fail to network.
Each EIA-485 network should have only two controllers with the EOL switches set to the IN
position.
Glowing network bulbs indicate a problem which could be: the Class 2 power is crossed
(24 VAC and GND) between two controllers, or the ground potential between two controllers
is not the same.

Labeling of Input/Output Points
LABELING OF INPUT/OUTPUT POINTS

The removable controller cover has an Input/Output label attached to one side. The intent
of this label is to list the input and output point names as defined using RC-Studio® 2.0.
The MP1 address should also be recorded on the label. The cover can be mounted with
the Input/Output label concealed or exposed.

JUMPERS
An MP1 can monitor up to twelve input devices. The electrical characteristic for each input
is configured using the jumper located beneath the removable cover, to the right of each
input terminal.
The three-pin input jumpers have three positions and correspond to the following input
types:
• 0–5 VDC / 0–10 VDC,
• Thermistor/dry contact, and
• 4–20 mA.

MACH-PRO1™
Outputs
RANGES

The actual range of an input (e.g., -40 to 120 oC, 0–20 psi, 0–100 Amps), is set using RC-
Studio® 2.0.
INPUT STATUS LEDS
A status LED is provided for each input, which brightens in proportion to the voltage
measured at the input. If the input is at the bottom of its range, the LED is off. If the input
is at the top of its range, the LED is fully bright.
OUTPUTS
FIGURE 30: REMOVABLE OUTPUT TERMINAL BLOCK
An MP1 can control up to eight physical output devices. The range of each output, and
whether the output is analog or two-position, is set using RC-Studio® 2.0.
All eight outputs are wired as dedicated Universal outputs which provide 0–12 VDC at a
maximum of 75 mA.
USER GUIDE

MANUAL OVERRIDE
The MP1 is available in two models. The base model does not include Hand/Off/Auto
(HOA) switches. Each of the eight outputs on an MP1-H model is equipped with an HOA
switch and override potentiometer hard-wired into the output circuit. When an HOA switch
is in the HAND position, the voltage at the output terminals is determined by the associated
potentiometer. It is recommended to use a flat-blade screwdriver when adjusting the
potentiometer, being careful to not make contact with any sensitive electronics. Rotating
the potentiometer clockwise results in higher voltage, while counter-clockwise results in a
lower voltage. The associated output’s LED will dim or brighten in relation to the output
voltage. The factory default position for the output potentiometers (fully clockwise) results
in full voltage being connected to the output.
When an HOA switch is in the OFF position, the output voltage is zero. When an HOA
switch is in the AUTO position, the output voltage is determined by software programming
in the host controller, or by a software override command from an RC-Studio® 2.0 work-
station.
LEDS
Each output has a red status LED which brightens in proportion to the voltage at the output
terminals. At zero volts, the LED is off, at 12 VDC the LED is fully bright.
PERIPHERAL DC POWER SUPPLY
The MP1 is equipped with an adjustable DC power supply for use in powering peripheral
transducers. The power supply can produce up to 0.2 Amps, adjustable between 15 and
24 VDC.
Figure 31 shows the location of the voltage adjustment potentiometer, fuse, and output
terminals for the peripheral power supply.
