The ECN-Sxx air temperature sensor S1(7) is used for measuring the air
temperature and may be installed to measure either the air-in or air-out temperature
of the evaporator to feed a signal to the controller for controlling the thermostat
function. A relay output is used to control the refrigerant flow to the Thermo-
Expansion Valve by switching a solenoid valve (2) and / or the compressor. An
ECN-Sxx sensor S5 (9) is used for defrost termination and may be installed in
either the air outlet duct or inserted into the evaporator coil. The controller has
relay outputs to control the solenoid valve / compressor (2), defrost heater (3) and
evaporator fan (4). Please consult the technical data (right) for input and output
ratings. Refer to the parameter list on page 3.
!Safety instructions:
•Read installation instructions thoroughly. Failure to comply can result in
device failure, system damage or personal injury.

Mounting
The EC1-233 can be mounted into a panel with a 71 x 29 mm cutout. See
dimensional drawing below for space requirements including rear cable protector.
Remove cable protector and mounting clips. (Move clip away from front side while
pushing at point Psee dimensional drawing below).
Push controller into panel cutout (1) ensuring the gasket is positioned on the outer
surface.
Place the mounting clip onto the controller ensuring the spring is nearest the panel.
Push each clip forward until the controller is firmly held in place. The spring on the
clip should be compressed and the gasket firmly secured to prevent dust and
moisture ingress.
Electrical Installation
Connect wires to terminals as per diagram below and replace cable protector at rear
side. Refer to the electrical wiring diagram (below) for electrical connections. A
copy of this diagram is mounted on the controller. Use connection wires/cables
suitable for 90°C operation (EN 60730-1)
EC1 analog inputs are for dedicated sensors only and should not be connected to
any other devices. The controller has an internally mounted transformer allowing a
“mains” 230V 50/60Hz power supplier to be connected directly.
Important: Keep controller and sensor wiring well separated from mains wiring.
Minimum recommended distance 30mm.
Recommended Sensor Positions in Detail:
(7) ECN-Sxx air-in temperature sensor, S1: Position centrally below the air inlet
grille. In applications where the average ambient temperature is above 25°C, it may
be advisable to mount the air sensor in the lower air discharge duct (air-out of the
evaporator).
The air temperature sensor should be mounted on spacers in the air duct so that
there is airflow around it and it is not in contact with any surface material which
could produce a false temperature reading.
(9) ECN-Sxx defrost temperature sensor, S5: Position in the evaporator,
asymmetric closer to the expansion valve or in the air-outlet duct immediately after
the evaporator (only if S1 is mounted in the air-in duct).
Caution: The sensor cables can be extended if necessary. The connection must be
protected against water and dust.
Setup and Parameter Modification Using the Keypad
The parameters can be accessed via the 4-button keypad or may be more efficiently
programmed using a copy key. Refer to further details below. The parameters are
arranged in two sections; user and administration allowing two levels of access.
Security lock for parameter modification:
Press the and buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds to unlock/lock the
controller parameters. “On” (unlocked) / “OFF” (locked) will be displayed on the
screen respectively. When locked, the parameters may be visualized but cannot be
modified.
User parameters:
•Press the Prg button for more than 3 seconds. When active, the “prg” LED will
be illuminated and the first parameter “St” will be displayed.
To modify parameters see Parameters modification below.
Administration parameters:
•Press the Prg simultaneously with the button for more than 10 seconds. When
active, the “prg” LED will be illuminated and the first parameter “St” will be
displayed.
To modify parameters see Parameters modification below.
•When parameter programming has been completed, press the Prg button to revert
back to operation mode. The Prg LED will be turned off.

Operating Instructions GB
Parameter Modification: Procedure
•When the Prg LED is illuminated the parameters may be modified and the first
parameter “St” will be displayed.
•Press the Prg button again to display the current value associated with the
parameter.
•Press or to increase or decrease the value. Pressing either button for 3
seconds will increase the speed of value change.
•Press the Prg button again to display the current parameter; “St”
•Press repeatedly to show the next parameter code to be changed;
•Press the Prg button again to display the current value associated with the
parameter and the or to increase or decrease the value.
•Repeat the procedure from the beginning "press repeatedly to show..."
To exit and save the new settings:
•Press Prg for 3 seconds to confirm the new values and exit the parameters
modification procedure. The Prg LED will be turned off.
•Alternatively avoid pressing any button for at least 15 seconds and the controller
will automatically revert to the operation mode; controller “times out”.
•If any parameter is modified and the controller then times out, the new setting
will be automatically saved.
Copy Key Procedure
Upload procedure:
•With the controller powered, plug the copy key into the mini USB.
•Press the button and the controller will display “UPL”.
•Press the PRG button to start the upload process to the copy key.
•Turn 230V power off before removing the copy key from the controller.
Download procedure:
•Turn 230V power off before inserting the copy key into the controller.
•Turn 230V power on. The controller will automatically detect the copy key is
present and start downloading the stored parameters into the controller. “DOW”
will be displayed on the controller during downloading process.
•Turn 230V power off before removing the copy key from the controller or the
data will be corrupted.
•Turn 230V power on and check the parameter values following the parameter
modification procedure above.
Caution:
DO NOT turn the controller off during this process. The control temperature will
be displayed when the process has been completed. ”Err” will be displayed if there
is an error during the upload/download procedure.
Any attempt to download a second set of parameter into the copy key will
automatically overwrite the original set.
Defrost Activation:
A defrost cycle can be activated locally from the keypad:
•Press the button for more than 3 seconds, the defrost cycle is activated and
the defrost LED will be illuminated (only if S5< value of parameter dt).
Continuous Cooling Demand Activation:
The controller can be set to continuous cooling:
•Press the button for more than 3 seconds, the controller will be forced into the
cooling mode and the cooling LED will be illuminated.
•Press the button for more than 3 seconds again to stop the continuous cooling
process.
Display of Data:
During normal operation, the display will show the temperature measured by the
S1 air sensor.
Press to display the current value associated with the defrost termination sensor.
