The controller is used for capacity regulation of compressors
and / or condensers in small refrigerating systems.
This controller can regulate up to ten compressors. The condenser
capacity is step regulated via the remaining available digital
outputs and external relay module or variable speed regulated via
a frequency converter.
Advantages
• Patented neutral zone regulation
• Sequential or cyclic operation
• Possibility of suction pressure optimisation via the data
communication
• Load shedding function
Regulation
Regulation is based on signals from one pressure transmitter for
the compressor regulation and one pressure transmitter for the
condenser regulation plus one temperature sensor for the air
temperature before the condenser.
Functions
• Relays for capacity regulation
• Voltage output for capacity regulation
• Status inputs. An interrupted signal indicates that the
safety circuit has been activated and the respective
circuit stopped
• Contact inputs for indication of alarms
• Contact inputs for displacement of references or for
indication of alarms
• Alarm relay
• External start/stop of regulation
• Possibility of data communication
Operation
All operation takes place either via data communication or
via connection of a display type EKA 164. The display can be
disconnected after the installation.
The cut-in capacity is controlled by signals from the connected
pressure transmitter and the set reference.
Outside the reference a neutral zone is set where the capacity
will neither be cut in nor out.
Outside the neutral zone (in the hatched areas named +zone
and -zone) the capacity will be cut in or out if the regulation
registers a change of pressure “away” from the neutral zone.
Cut in and cut out will take place with the set time delays.
If the pressure however “approaches” the neutral zone, the
controller will make no changes of the cut-in capacity.
If regulation takes place outside the hatched area (named
++zone and --zone), changes of the cut-in capacity will occur
somewhat faster than if it were in the hatched area.
Cut in of steps can be dened for either sequential or cyclic
operation.
Sequential (rst in - last out)
The relays are here cut in in sequence – rst relay number 1,
then 2, etc.
Cutout takes place in the opposite sequence, i.e. the last
cut-in relay will be cut out rst.
Cyclic (rst in - rst out)
The relays are coupled here so that the operating time of
the individual relays will become equalised.
At each cutin the regulation scans the individual relays’
timer, cutting in the relay with least time on it.
At each cutout a similar thing happens. Here the relay is cut
out that has most hours on the timer.
If the two displays are mounted:
P0 will be shown on EKA 165 / EKA 164 (the one with buttons)
Pc will be shown on EKA 163
Compressor regulation referenceCompressor control
P0 setpoint
Regulation is based on the set value plus an oset, if applicable. An oset can be
created from night setback r13 and/or from a master gateway’s override function.
Oset
The set reference may be displaced with a xed value when a signal is received at
the DI4 input or from the function "Night setback" (r27).
(Cf. also Denition of DI4 input).

at the DI5 input. (Cf. also Denition of DI5 input).
Pc reference variation
1: No change of the reference. Regulation based on set setpoint.
2: Outdoor temperature forms part of the reference. The outdoor temperature
is measured with Sc3. When the outdoor temperature drops one degree, the
reference is lowered one degree.
Setting 1 and 2 operate with a PI regulation.
If the system is unstable and the PI regulation not satisfactory the I element may
be left out, so there will be P regulation only.

MiscellaneousMiscellaneous
Pressure transmitter’s working range
Depending on the pressure, a pressure transmitter with a given working range is
used. This working range must be set in the controller (e.g.: -1 to 12 bar
The values must be set in bar if display in °C has been selected. And in psig, if °F has
been selected.

Refrigerant setting
Before refrigeration is started, the refrigeration must be dened. You may choose
between the following refrigerants:
1 = R12. 2 = R22. 3 = R134a. 4 = R502. 5 = R717. 6 = R13. 7 = R13b1. 8 = R23.
9 = R500. 10 = R503. 11 = R114. 12 = R142b. 13 = User dened. 14 = R32. 15 = R227.
16 = R401A. 17 = R507. 18 = R402A. 19 = R404A. 20 = R407C. 21 = R407A.
22 = R407B. 23 = R410A. 24 = R170. 25 = R290. 26 = R600. 27 = R600a. 28 = R744.
Warning: Wrong selection of refrigerant may cause damage to the compressor.
Manual control (stopped regulation only)
From this menu the relays can be cut in and out manually. 0 gives no override,
but a number between 1 and 10 will cut in a belonging relay. 1 will cut in relay number 1, 2 relay 2, etc.
11-18 will produce voltage on the analog output. In this way the relays on the
external relay module can be activated. Setting 11 will give a voltage of 1.25 V,
setting 12 will give 2.5 V, etc.
Frequency
Set the net frequency.

Address
If the controller is built into a network with data communication, it must have an
address, and the master gateway of the data communication must then know this
address.
These settings can only be made when a data communication module has been
mounted in the controller and the installation of the data communication cable has
been completed.
This installation is mentioned in a separate document “RC.8A.C”.
The address is set between 1 and 60o03
The address is sent to the gateway when the menu is set in pos. Oo04
Access code
If the settings in the controller are to be protected by a numerical code, you can set a
numerical value between 0 and 100. If not, you can cancel the function with setting
OFF.

Conguration settings (compressor and fan denitions, coupling mode and refrigerant) can only take place when regulation is stopped.
When the compressor relays have been established the turn
comes to the fan relays.
The rst vacant relay (DO1-DO10) will become the rst fan
relay. It will be followed by the subsequent relays. If more relays
are required than the vacant DO relays, a relay module can be
connected to the analog output. The function is, as follows:
If there are up to four external fans on an EKC 331:
In EKC 331 the voltage range must be set to 0-5 V (“o10” = 6).
In EKC 331 the number of steps must be set to 4 (“o19” = 4)
(also when fewer fans are connected).
If there are more than four external fans on two EKC 331 units:
1.
2.
Alternating start-up of fans:
(only if c29 is 11 to 18)
The fans can be dened to start alternately when they have all
been stopped.
The rst time regulation is started, fan 1 will be started rst – the
regulation determines whether additional fans will be started.
After the next time all fans are stopped, fan 2 will be the rst to be
started, and so on.
Fan 1 will again be the rst fan to be started when the rotation has
been through the total number of fans.
If there is more than one fan on an EKC 331, it will not be possible
to start the other fans rst. Here, the fan with the lowest voltage
step will always be the one which is started rst.
If the entire condenser capacity is to be controlled by a frequency
converter:
AK-PC 531B must send an analog signal about the required
capacity (“c29” = 9).
The signal varies from 0 to 10 V. Signal and capacity have the
following context.
In the rst EKC 331, set 0-5 V (“o10” = 6).
In the second EKC 331, set 5-10 V (“o10” = 7).
In both EKC’s the number of steps must be set to 4 (“o19” = 4)
(also when fewer fans are connected to the second EKC).
If the controller is extended with data communication, the operation can be performed from a system unit.
The importance of the alarms that are sent can be dened with
the setting: 1 (High), 2 (Medium), 3 (Low) or 0 (No alarm).
Operation via external display
The values will be shown with three digits, and with a setting you
can determine whether the pressures are to be shown in SI units
(°C / bar) or US units (°F / psig.).
There are three options for the display.
EKA 165
To operate the controller and view the evaporation pressure.
If the lowermost key is pressed, the condensation pressure will
be shown briey in the display. (If regulation is based only on the
condensation pressure, the display will always show Pc).
During normal operation the light-emitting diodes in the display
will indicate where regulation is taking place.

The buttons on the display
When you want to change a setting, the upper and the lower
buttons will give you a higher or lower value depending on the
button you are pushing. But before you change the value, you
must have access to the menu. You obtain this by pushing the
upper button for a couple of seconds - you will then enter the
column with parameter codes. Find the parameter code you want
to change and push the middle button. When you have changed
the value, save the new value by once more pushing the middle
button.
The other LEDs on the display will show the functions that are
active:
• Relays for compressors
• Relays for fans
• Input signals for the digital inputs
• The optimisation LED will light up when the reference is 2 K or
more over the set point.
EKA 163
If the condensation pressure is to be shown constantly, a display
without operating keys can be connected.
EKA 164
To operate the controller and view the evaporation pressure.
If the lowermost key is pressed, the condensation pressure will be
shown briey in the display.
Like the EKA 165, the LEDs in the display will show where the
regulation is located.
Or short:
1. Push the upper button (long push) until a parameter is shown
2. Push one of the buttons and nd the parameter you want to
change
3. Push the middle button until the setting value is shown
4. Push one of the buttons and select the new value
5. Push the middle button again to conclude the setting
( A brief pushing will show the active alarm codes.)
To get the system up and running quickly so that cooling can be commenced, start it by setting the following parameters (these parameters can only be set when the regulation is stopped r12=0):
r23, r28 and then either (c08 and c16) – continue with c29, o30, o75, o76, o80 and nally r12=1.
2. Once the regulation is under way, you can go through the other parameters and adjust them in situ.

Safety function
Monitoring of maximum discharge pressure
The function cuts in all condenser steps and gradually cuts out compressor steps, if the condensing pressure exceeds the
permitted value. The cutout limit is the setting in "A30".
The function starts at a value that is 3 K below the set value. At this point the entire condenser capacity is cut in at the same
time as 33% of the compressor capacity is cut out. (however min. one step). This is repeated for each 30-second interval.
The alarm function is activated.
If the temperature (pressure) rises to the set limit value, the following happens:
- all compressor steps are immediately cut out
- the condenser capacity remains cut in
The alarm ceases when the temperature (pressure) has dropped to the 3 K below the limit value for 60 seconds.
Renewed cut in of compressor steps is allowed when the temperature (pressure) has dropped to the 3 K below the limit value.
Restart of the compressor is dependent on expiry of the restart timer.
Monitoring of minimum suction pressure
The function immediately cuts out all compressor steps if the suction pressure becomes lower than the permitted value.
The cut out limit is the setting in "A11".
Cut outs activate the alarm function.
The alarm ceases when the pressure (temperature) is above the cut out limit.
Renewed cut in of compressor steps is allowed when the alarm has stopped (the time delay has expired).
Emergency procedure
If the controller registers irregularities in the registered signals, it will start an emergency procedure:
For compressor regulation:
- If the signal from the pressure transmitter becomes smaller than expected, the controller will continue operating with the
average capacity that has been cut in during the past 60 minutes. This cut-in capacity will gradually decline as time passes.
- If the signal for the suction pressure becomes smaller than the set value of A11, the capacity will instantly be cut out.
For condenser regulation:
- If the signal from the pressure transmitter becomes smaller than expected, or if the condensing pressure becomes bigger
than the set value of A30, the entire capacity will in stantly be cut in.

Installation considerations
Accidental damage, poor installation, or site conditions, can
give rise to malfunctions of the control system, and ultimately lead to a
plant breakdown.
Every possible safeguard is incorporated into our products to prevent this.
However, a wrong installation, for example, could still present problems.
Electronic controls are no substitute for normal, good engineering practice.
Danfoss wil not be responsible for any goods, or plant
components, damaged as a result of the above defects.
It is the installer's responsibility to check the installation
thoroughly, and to t the necessary safety devices.
Special reference is made to the necessity of signals to the controller when
the compressor is stopped and to the need
of liquid receivers before the compressors.
Your local Danfoss agent will be pleased to assist with further advice, etc.
Danfoss can accept no responsibility for possible errors in catalogues, brochures and other printed material. Danfoss reserves the right to alter its products without notice. This also applies to products
already on order provided that such alternations can be made without subsequential changes being necessary in specications already agreed.
