Mounting of ECD-002
ECD-002 can be installed at any time also during operation.
• ECD-002 can be mounted in
panels with 2.8x1.1 in cutout
• Push controller into panel cut-
out.(1)
• Make sure that mounting lugs are
ush with outside of controller
housing
• Insert allen key into front panel
holes and turn clockwise. Mount-
ing 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 keypad is secured. Do not
over tighten as mounting lugs will
break easily.

battery may be defective and should be replaced.
Er Data error display – - - - Data send to the display is out of range. Check temperature No
out of range and pressure sensor.
Note: When multiple alarms occur, the highest priority alarm is displayed until being cleared,
then the next highest alarm is displayed until all alarms are cleared. Only then will param-
eters be shown again.
Message
— No data to display
The display will show an “—” at start up and when no data is sent to ECD-002
Error/Alarm Handling
Checking system operating conditions
The data to be permanently shown on the display can be selected by the user
(parameter
1). It is possible to temporarily display these values. However,
this function is not available in an alarm condition. The display will show for
one second the numerical identier of the data (see
1 parameter) and then
the selected data. After 5 minutes, the display will return to the value selected
by parameter
1.
Service/Troubleshooting
Symptom Cause Action
Operating superheat is several degrees higher or Incorrect signal from pressure or 1- Check the sensors
lower than set-point temperature sensors 2- Make sure ECN-N60 temperature sensor is used
3- For optimum accuracy, please use:
PT4-07M for R22/R134a/R507/R404A/R407C/R124
PT4-18M for R410A
PT4-30M for R744
4- Make sure the sensor cables are not installed along
with other high voltage cables
Operating superheat is too low i.e. compressor wet running 1- Incorrect wiring of ECVs 1- Check the wiring
2- Defective sensors 2- Check the sensor
Valve is not fully closed 1- The digital input is ON (24V) 1- Valve is shut off only when the digital input is turned off (0V)
2- Wrong setting of parameter ut. 2- Check the setting of parameter ut
Instable superheat (hunting) Evaporator is designed to operate Increase the superheat set-point
at higher superheat
Valve opens when EC3 commands to close and vice versa Wrong wiring between EC3-X33 Correct the wiring
and valve
EX8 is not able to open at high differential pressure Wrong setting of parameter ut Check the parameter ut. (Larger valve requires higher torque
and higher current)
Superheat set-point is shifting after several months of Stepper motor driven valves
Do not apply permanent 24V digital input. Interrupt digital input
uninterrupted operation or permanent jumper of 24V require synchronization once every week for 5 seconds if compressor never stops.
