Pre-programmed Controller MCX15B2 for IPS 8
Replacement of MCX controller
148R9658
Prior to disconnect and remove the old MCX controller it is important to depressurize the ammonia side of the purger unit by following these steps (see fig. 1)
1. Close all supply lines from the purge points of the ammonia system (a)
2. Restart the controller to force pump-down
3. Wait for 20 minutes
4. Stop the compressor and other connected devices by switching OFF:

084H5001, IPS 8, CE, 230 V AC, 1ph, 50 Hz
084H5002, IPS 8, 230 V AC, 1ph, 60 Hz
4a) Operate QM1: Thermal magnetic miniature circuit breaker – See Fig. 2a
084H5003, IPS 8, UL 230 V AC, 1ph, 60 Hz
4b) Operate Thermal magnetic miniature circuit breakers – See Fig. 2b

5. Close the SVA shut-off valve in the drain line (located under the IPS8 (b))
6. Release the remaining system pressure to ambient pressure by opening the SNV drain valve (c). This can also be done by attaching a permanent magnet on the built-in Main Purge valve (YV1 – AKVA 10) valve, for forced opening.

Operate Thermal magnetic miniature circuit breakers – See Fig. 2b
14QF9 – Power to MCX15B2 controller
1) Enter password 200 (Main screen\Start\Login\ and enter password).
2) Enter number of Purge point in question for the particular application (Main screen\Parameters\Unit config\Valve settings\ and enter the valve in Parameter V10, Max_PP).
3) See general IPS User Guide/Start Up instruction. The pre-programmed MCX15B2 (code number 084H5067) is plug & play ready, and only where customer specific settings are applicable, these values must additional be entered into MCX15B2.
