Mounting the Controller
This section provides recommendations and requirements for mounting the MP501.
Location Recommendations
Trane recommends locating the MP501:
• In an indoor environment for protection from the elements.
• Near the controlled equipment to reduce wiring costs.
• Where it is easily accessib
le for service personnel.
• Where public access is restricted to minimize the possibility of tampering or vandalism.
Operating Environment Requirements
Operate a MP501 in an indoor environment that meets the following requirements:
• Temperature: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C)
• Relative humidity: 10–90%, non-condensing
Mounting Recommendations
Important:
Leave the cover on when mounting the MP501 to avoid the possibility of damaging
the circuit board during installation.
Trane recommends the following mounting guidelines:
• Mount the controller in any direction, other than with the f
ront of the cover f
acing downward.
• Mount using the two 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) radius mounting holes provided (refer to Figure 4, p. 12).
Mounting fasteners are no
t included.
• Attach the controller securely so it can
withstand vibr
ations of associated HVAC equipment.
• If the controller is mounted in a small enclosed compartment, complete all wirin
g connections
before securing the controller in the compartment.
