EC2-711 Condenser Controller

Operating Instructions
Note: This document contains short form instructions for experienced users.
Use last column in List of Parameters to document your individual settings.
More detailed information can be found in the User Manual.
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.
GB
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.

Electrical Installation

of this diagram is labelled on the
controller.

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
LON network. Press the button for app. 1 second to send the Neuron ID. 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 EMS__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.
