IMPORTANT: Because the new MicroTech II controllers utilizes open, standard protocols listed
above, they are not compatible with legacy MicroTech system controls which utilize legacy,
proprietary McQuay Open Protocol. Therefore, the new MicroTech II chiller unit control panel is
not compatible with the existing MicroTech Chiller System Controller (CSC), Chiller Plant
Controller (CPC), MicroTech Monitor software, MicroTech Network Master Panels (NMP), or
MicroTech Remote Monitoring and Sequencing (RMS) panels. Your McQuay Representative can
help you plan the efficient management of your MicroTech and MicroTech II chiller equipment with
your building’s chiller plant or overall building automation system as your building needs change.

below. The buttons are pressed three times to access three different sets of data. Refer to
manual IM 403.
1. There are thirteen settings under the Service Setpoint button, accessed by repeatedly
pressing the button.
2. There are 18 settings under the Set-up Options button.

CAUTION
1. Service on this equipment must be performed by trained, experienced refrigeration
personnel familiar with equipment operation, maintenance, correct servicing
preocdedures, and the safety hazards inherent in this work.
2. Anyone servicing this equipment must comply with EPA requirements regarding
refrigerant reclaimation and venting.
1. De-energize power to existing MicroTech (MT) panel (lock and tag out).
2. Check with VOM for presence of voltage in the MT panel. Isolate and de-energize if present.
3. Check for and disconnect any BAS communication from motherboard or display board.
4. Identify all external wiring to and from the MT panel. Mark as necessary. Factory wiring
should be labeled with wire numbers.
5. Remove all external wiring and conduit.
6. Remove all temperature sensors and discard. MT II uses all new sensors, 10k versus 3k on the
older units.
7. Isolate refrigerant and oil lines connected to MT panel. Remove and cap to prevent loss of
refrigerant and oil. Isolate the oil sump while there is still some pressure in the system to
prevent moisture from entering the tank. This is particularly important on R-134a systems.
8. Remove solenoid coil, wires, and conduit from oil cooler valve, liquid injection valve (if
present), and motor cooling valve (if present). Any valves that are not Sporlan brand will have
to be replaced. Older controllers used 115V solenoids coils, MT II use 24V solenoids coils.
Alternately, 115V to 24V interposing relays can be added to operate the existing valves.
9. Remove old control panel from chiller.
10. In most cases it is easier to leave the existing lube box on the unit and mount the new
compressor control panel adjacent to it. Two pieces of angle iron can be installed on the existing
lube box supports, extending out to provide a mounting location for the new panel.

right of the existing lube box on angle-iron mounted on existing evaporator shelf. A small junction
extensions. box has been added to the top to facilitate connections.

panel. The two angle-iron supports are visible on visible, inserted between the box and the box support.
the rear of the panel
Some chillers will not accommodate the compressor control panel mounted adjacent to the lube box,
so both MT II panels must be mounted on the evaporator.
Mount compressor control panel (on left) and unit control panel (on right) on the plate where the
Series 100 control panel was mounted. The plate will have to be re-drilled for mounting if both
panels are mounted next to each other (see picture on the following page). Fabricate brackets where
needed for vertical support of compressor control panel. If kit was purchased with an optional
Touch Screen Panel, drill and mount arm for display screen. See Figure 5 on page 16 for mounting
location on unit.
WARNING
Refrigerant can cause asphyxiation, environmental damage, severe personal injury or death. Follow
EPA procedures for removing charge before continuing installation.
1. Be sure that the charge from the compressor has been removed following EPA or related
government regulations. The system pressure must be 0 psig to perform this modification.
2. Remove the existing temperature sensor and well. Discard the sensor.
3. Remove the suction elbow from the chiller unit.
4. Locate the center of the new port approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the Victaulic coupling and
at the five o’clock position as viewed looking into the inlet cone.
5. Drill a 1.44 inch hole as shown.
6. Weld the ¾ NPT pipe coupling(p/n 735031434) in the new location.
7. Insert the suction temperature well (p/n047441511, use Loctite sealant*).
8. Install a new 10K temperature sensor (p/n 073007303) into the well.
9. Plug the original hole with the ¾ inch plug provided (p/n 735031649, use Loctite sealant*).
10. Clean and replace Victaulic gaskets if needed.
3. MT 200 units will have the correct high pressure and low pressure transducers for refrigerant
pressure and oil pressure sensing. New transducers are included for use on MT 100 units (blue
dot low-pressure range; red dot high-pressure range). Install transducers and terminate in
compressor control box. Oil pressure transducer will be installed on existing 1/4" line that fed
the old oil pressure transducer. This line may be shortened with 1/4" male flare fitting with
Schraeder valve brazed on the end.
4. Install new 24 VAC solenoid valve and cable on liquid injection solenoid valve (if present),
motor cooling solenoid valve (if present) and oil cooler solenoid valve. Terminate at compressor
control panel. If compressor has hot gas bypass purchase and install coils for solenoid
valves on HGBP assembly (solenoid coils not included in kit).
5. MT 200 units will have the correct mechanical high pressure switch (MHP) on discharge line.
New MHP switches are included for use on MT 100 units. Install switch if not already present,
run wiring in flexible conduit, and terminate at compressor control box. See “High Pressure
Switch Use” section to determine which switch you should use.
6. Install pLAN communications cables between unit controller and compressor controllers.
Sixteen feet of 3-conductor cable (074608901) is enclosed with each compressor control panel
for this purpose.
7. Re-install all conduits from lube box, motor starter, motor temperature (Guardistor)
protection, and water flow protection into compressor control panel and terminate wiring.
8. Ensure that correct components have been installed into compressor control panel (see
lube box section, pages 10 and 11). Re-wire lube box as required.
9. If applicable, re-install conduits from pump and /or tower controls, external start/stop or alarm
circuit into unit controller and terminate wiring.
10. If purchased, install Touch Screen Panel (TS) flexible arm and TS. Attach cable from TS to unit
control panel.
CAUTION
Mechanical high-pressure switch (MHP) and transducers must be installed on unit with MT II
upgrade. Mechanical high-pressure switch must be installed on high side (discharge pressure) above
the check valve and may not be installed on a valve that can be isolated from system per pressure
vessel per A.S.M.E. code.
The illustration above is for a single compressor chiller. On dual compressor chillers the
two compressor controllers have identical sensor call-outs.

Included in the MicroTech II Retrofit Kit are two different model high pressure switches.
074796301 - SPST-NC switch that trips(opens) at 180psi +/-7psi and resets at 125psi +/- 10psi.
074796302 - SPST-NC switch that trips(opens) at 190psi +/-7psi and resets at 135psi +/- 10psi.
The use of either component should be determined by the rating of the relief valve on the condenser.
It is required that the pressure switch trips at a maximum pressure of 90% of the rated relief valve
setting that is installed on the chiller. It is desirable to select the lower rated pressure switch if it is
suitable to your application.
For the use of the 190psi pressure switch, the relief valve must be rated at 212psi or greater. For the
use of the 180psi pressure switch the relief valve must be rated at 200psi or greater relief pressure.
The 190psi pressure switch allows a little more operating room in the case of running higher saturated
condenser temperatures.
CAUTION
Disconnect motor leads from compressor before beginning check, test, and start to prevent
compressor from starting during start-up. Failure to do so can cause equipment damage.
CAUTION
Each of the MicroTech controllers must have compatible software versions(the latest version is
always recommended), including the Touch Screen software and UCM module. Controllers trying to
communicate with mixed software versions will result in corrupt data and may cause unexpected
events, such as random output energizing and possible compressor damage. Always follow proper
download procedures and check software versions on all controller devices and Touch Screen before
attempting to operate the chiller.
