Detroit Radiant Products Company MP Series - Manual (Page 8)

Zoning Heaters and Configuring ‘Master/Slave’ Heaters
The MP Series is designed to allow for several heaters within the same zone to simultaneously modulate
in synchronization when connected to a single control device . This configuration requires one ‘Master’
heater that is connected directly to the heat control device, and the remaining ‘Slave’ heaters are to be
wired to the ‘Master’ heater . The ‘Slave’ heaters will modulate based on the control signal from the
‘Master’ heater . During the operation of the system, all the ‘Slave’ heaters will modulate at the same
percentage rate of the full input as the ‘Master’ heater .
When wiring multiple heaters together for zoning, the heaters must be wired in series with a ‘Master’
heater utilizing a shielded thermostat wire . Connect the heaters via the appropriate wiring diagram . See
Pages 9-12 for more information .
Building Management Systems and Other Remote Analog Signals
A Building Management System or a Remote Analog Signal may be used as a controlled device for the
MP Series . This allows the heater(s) to be controlled directly by the output of the Building Management
System directly dictates the heaters firing rate . The analog signal can be either 0-10VDC or 4-20mA .
A Premium User Interface (P/N: PUI) MUST be used in order to connect the Building Management
System to the heater .
