EC3-932 Rack and Condenser Controller and ECD-000 Display Unit
Operating Instructions GB
Note: This document contains short form instructions for experienced users.
Use last column in List of Parameters to document your individual settlings.
More detailed information can be found in the User Manual.
The EC3-932 is a digital controller for racks and condensers in commercial
refrigeration applications for controlling up to 4 compressors with conventional
on/off step control working on a common suction line. Alternatively, the controller
may be configured to control a Copeland Digital Scroll compressor and up to 3
single stage compressors. The condenser control may consist of up to 3 cycled
fans. The first fan can be continuously speed controlled directly with the onboard
TRIAC. The fan power supply must be connected to the TRIAC. To meet the EMC
compliancy in this case, an external filter must be fitted. For the rack controller, the
control target is to maintain the suction pressure (3) at a defined value by varying
the available compressor capacity (12).
The control target for the condenser controller is to maintain the condensing
pressure (4) at a defined value by varying the available fans (13). For the
measurement of the suction pressure and the condensing pressure, two PT pressure
sensors with a 4 – 20 mA interface can be connected to the controller. The
controller has four relays outputs to command the compressors (12), the fans (13)
and the heat recovery solenoid (15). Eight digital inputs for 24V AC/DC or 230V
AC and four digital inputs for 24V AC/DC are available, four for compressor serial
alarm (5), three for the fan serial alarm (10), one for low pressure alarm (6), one for
high pressure alarm (7), one for oil level alarm (8), one for refrigerant level alarm
(9) and one for heat recovery demand (11). To control the discharge end
temperature of compressors, four temperature inputs (1) are available. If a Digital
Scroll is installed (16) it should be connected to relay “comp 1” and the
corresponding temp. sensor to “disch 1”. Alternatively, two analogue outputs
0 to 10 V are available to control the first compressor or the first fan are inverter
driven (14).
The optional ECD-000 Display Unit can be connected to the EC3-932 for local
display of control parameters and for controller setup without the use of a PC.
Because the EC3-932 is fully functional without display unit the ECD-000 may be
removed at any time.

with a 71x29 mm cutout. See dimensional
drawing below for space requirements
including rear connectors.
Push controller into panel cutout. (1)
Make sure that mounting lugs are flush with
outside of controller housing
Insert allen key into front panel holes and
turn clockwise. Mounting lugs will turn and
gradually move towards panel (2)
Turn allen key until mounting lug barely
touches panel. Then move other mounting
lug to the same position (3)
Tighten both sides very carefully until
display is secured. Do not over tighten as
mounting lugs will break easily.

Operating Instructions GB
Electrical Installation
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram (below) for electrical connections. A copy of
this diagram is labeled on the controller. Use connection wires/cables suitable for
90°C operation (EN 60730-1). Ground the metal housing with a 6.3mm spade
connector.
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 EC3 controller and to use separate transformers for 3rd party
controllers, to avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power
supply. Connecting any EC3 inputs to mains voltage will permanently damage the
EC3.
Setup and Parameter Modification Using the Keypad of the
ECD-000
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.
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.
Special Functions:
The Clear Alarm function has been replaced by the Special Functions mode. The
Special Functions can be activated by:
•Press and together for more than 5 seconds.
A flashing 0 is displayed.
•Press or until the password is displayed (default = 12). If password was
changed, select the new password.
•Press SEL to confirm password
A 0 is displayed and the Special Function mode is activated.
•Press or to select the function. The number of special functions is dynamic
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: Displays the current TCP/IP address
•2: Set the controller's TCP/IP address to 192.168.1.101 (default value). This
change is only temporary. A power down will reset the previous address.
•3: Resets all parameters to the factory default setting. The controller will
indicate “oF” during the reset.
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

Visualising Data: WebPages
A TCP/IP Controller-Readme file is available on the www.emersonclimate.eu web-
site to provide detailed information about TCP/IP Ethernet connectivity. Please refer to
this file if you need information beyond the contents of this instruction sheet.
The EC3-932 has a TCP/IP Ethernet communication interface enabling the
controller to be directly connected to a PC or network via the standard Ethernet
port. The EC3-932 controller has embedded WebPages to enable the user to easily
visualise the parameter lists using real text labels.
No special software or hardware is required.
Connect the EC3-932 using the optional ECX-N60 cable assembly to a network or
hub that enables the controller to receive a dynamic TCP/IP address. If a DHCP
server is not available, the controller can be connected to a computer using a
crossover cable plugged directly into the Ethernet port. In this case, the TCP/IP
address of the computer must be manually modified to be compatible with the
default address of the controller. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file for
more details.
Open the Internet browser program on the computer and enter the default TCP/IP
address of the controller into the address line of the Internet browser: 192.168.1.101
or the dynamic address from the DHCP server. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-
Readme file if a specific port is required.
After a few moments, the default monitoring page should be displayed. If the
browser does not open the default page or display active data, the user should check
the Internet browser “Option” configuration. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-
Readme file.
The Monitoring and Alarm WebPages are read only and therefore it is not
necessary to enter a username or password. A username and password will be
requested upon the initial request to any of the other WebPages. The factory default
settings are :
Username : EmersonID Password : 12
The default settings may be modified in the Display configuration page.
Press the tabs at the top of the Monitoring page with a left click of the mouse button
to enter the respective Webpage.
The parameters will be visualised in real text together with the program code as
defined in the parameter list below.
After the parameters have been modified, the complete list of settings can be saved
to the memory of the computer and used later to upload into another controller.
This can save a considerable amount of time when using multiple controllers and
over a period of time, a library can be created containing the parameter lists for
equipment for different applications.
It is also possible to display live graphical data from the controller. In addition, a
permanent 30 days log file containing the control temperature at 15 minutes
intervals is stored in the non-volatile memory to be later transferred using FTP to
the computer. The log file can be imported into a standard spreadsheet program
such as Excel. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file for a complete
description of the features available for the TCP/IP series of controllers.
