Technical data:
Power supply Power consumption Communication Terminals Temperature storage operating Pressure sensor input Fan output relays

Fan variable output signal Digital inputs Humidity Protection class The EC2-711 has been designed to control condensers with up to four fans. The purpose of the controller is to keep condensing pressure to a minimum by switching fans on or off.

Mounting
The EC2-711 can be mounted in panels with a 71 x 29 mm cutout. See dimensional drawing below for space requirements including rear connectors. Push controller into panel cutout.(1) Make sure that mounting clamps are flush with outside of controller housing Insert allen key into front panel holes and turn clockwise. Mounting clamp will turn and gradually move towards panel (2) Turn allen key until mounting clamp barely touches panel. Then move other mounting clamp to the same position (3) Tighten both sides very carefully until controller is secured. Do not over tighten as mounting clamps will break easily.

The PT4 pressure transmitter (5) senses condensing pressure and feeds the signal into a condensing pressure dead band control loop. Condensing pressure is modulated by turning fan motors on and off. No change occurs as long as the condensing pressure remains within the dead band (P1) around the condensing pressure setpoint (P0). The controller will add/remove fan capacity when the condensing pressure goes beyond the limits of the condensing pressure dead band. For stable condenser operation, adjustable time delays for fan motor on and off are available. To avoid premature wear of individual fan motors, run time equalization is built into the controller. remove capacity dead band add capacity

Electrical Installation
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram (right) for electrical connections. A copy of this diagram is labelled on the controller. Use connection wires/cables suitable for 90C operation (EN 60730-1). EC2 analog inputs are for dedicated sensors only and should not be connected to any other devices. Volt free digital inputs should only be connected to serial control loops or relays with gold contacts. They should not be connected to any other devices Important: Keep controller and sensor wiring well separated from mains wiring. Minimum recommended distance 30mm. Warning: Use a class II category transformer for 24VAC power supply (EN 60742). Do not ground the 24VAC lines. We recommend to use one transformer per EC2 controller and to use separate transformers for 3rd party controllers, to avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power supply. Connecting any EC2 inputs to mains voltage will permanently damage the EC2.

Condensing Pressure A fast recovery procedure can be used to immediately switch off all fans when the condensing pressure falls below a set limit. Similarly an emergency routine can be activated automatically if the condensing pressure exceeds a definable limit.

Safety instructions:

Read installation instructions thoroughly. Failure to comply can result in device failure, system damage or personal injury. The product is intended for use by persons having the appropriate knowledge and skills. Ensure electrical ratings per technical data are not exceeded. Disconnect all voltages from system before installation. Keep temperatures within nominal limits. Comply with local electrical regulations when wiring

Set-up and Parameter Modification Using The Keypad

For convenience, an infrared receiver for the optional IR remote control unit is build-in, enabling quick and easy modification of the system parameters when a computer interface is not available. Alternatively, the parameters can be accessed via the 4-button keypad. The configuration parameters are protected by a numerical password. The default password is 12. To select the parameter configuration: Press the PRG button for more than 5 seconds A flashing 0 is displayed Press or until 12 is displayed; (password) Press SEL to confirm password The first modifiable parameter code is displayed (/1). To modify parameters see Parameters modification below.. EC2-711_65107_EN_R01.doc Rev.: 01Replacement for Rev.: 00 1/4 21.06.2007

Parameter Modification: Procedure

Press or to show the code of the parameter that has to be changed; Press SEL to display the selected parameter value; Press or to increase or decrease the value; Press SEL to temporarily confirm the new value and display its code; Repeat the procedure from the beginning "press or to show..." To exit and save the new settings: Press PRG to confirm the new values and exit the parameters modification procedure. To exit without modifying any parameter: Do not press any button for at least 60 seconds (TIME OUT). Press ESC on IR remote control.

Load Default Parameters:

The default parameter settings can be reloaded into the controller memory by using the special function described below

Special Functions:
The Special Functions can be activated by: Press and together for more than 5 seconds. A flashing 0 is displayed. or until the password is displayed (default = 12). If password was Press changed, select the new password. Press SEL to confirm password A 0 is displayed and the Special Function mode is activated. or to select the function. The number of special functions is dynamic Press and controller dependent. See list below. Press SEL to activate the function without leaving the special function mode. Press PRG to activate the function and leave the special function mode. Most of the Special Functions work in a toggle mode, the first call activates the function, and the second call deactivates the function. The indication of the function can only be displayed after exiting the special function mode. 0: Display test function 1: Resets all parameters to the factory default setting. The controller will indicate oF during the reset and the valve will close.

Display of Data:
The data to be permanently shown on the display can be selected by the user (parameter /1). In case of an alarm, the alarm code is displayed alternately with the selected data. The user can inhibit the alarm code. It is possible to temporarily display these values. This is a useful feature when initially setting-up the system without the aid of the WebPages. Press the SEL button to scroll through all possible displayable data.. The display will show for one second the numerical identifier of the data (see /1 parameter) and then the selected data. After two minutes the display will return to the by parameter /1 selected data. This action is only valid when parameter H2 = 3. IR LED Fan 4 on LON activity LED

Messages
--- No data to display The display will show an --- at node start up and when no data is send to the display. In Reset to default values activated The display will show an In when the factory default configuration data set is initialized. Id Wink request received The display will show a flashing Id when the wink request was received. The flashing Id will be shown on the display until the service button will be pressed, or a 30 min delay timer will expire or a second wink request is received. OF Node is offline The node is offline and no application is running. This is the result of a network management command and will happen for example during node installation.

Visualising Data: LON Monitoring Server

The EC2-711 has a LON communication interface enabling the controller to be directly connected to a Monitoring Server. It can be connected by using the optional cable assembly to a LON network (ECC-014, order nr. 804 381, with RJ45 to open, cable length 3m).

Neuron ID / Service PIN:

The service pin is available on the display. It is used to identify the controller in a button for app. 1 second to send the Neuron ID. The LON network. Press the LED in the left upper corner will indicate the transmission of the Neuron ID. The default settings may be modified remotely from the Monitoring Server via the LON network. Consult the AMS__64074 user manual for more information. It is also possible to display live graphical data on the server or to log data containing the control temperature at defined intervals.
