Basic principles of application 130 for ECL Comfort 110
Typically, the flow temperature is always adjusted according to your requirements.
The flow temperature sensor (S3) is the most important sensor. The desired flow
temperature at S3 is calculated in the ECL Comfort controller, based on the outdoor
temperature (S1). The lower the outdoor temperature, the higher the desired flow
temperature.
The motorized control valve (M1) is opened gradually when the flow temperature is
lower than the desired flow temperature and vice versa.
The return temperature (S4) to the district heating supply should not be too high. If so,
the desired flow temperature can be adjusted (typically to a lower value) thus resulting
in a gradual closing of the motorized control valve. In boiler-based heating supply the
return temperature should not be too low (same adjustment procedure as above).
If the measured room temperature does not equal the desired room temperature, the
desired flow temperature can be adjusted.
The circulation pump, P1, is ON when the desired flow temperature is higher than 20 °C
(factory setting) or the outdoor temperature is lower than 2 °C (factory setting).
°C (degrees Celsius) is an absolute temperature whereas K (Kelvin) is a relative temperature.

Heat curve
The ECL Comfort 110 controls the heating system according to the calculated flow
temperature under the influence of the return and / or room temperature.
The desired flow temperature is defined by 5 settings: ‘Temp. max.’, ‘Temp. min.’, ‘Slope’,
‘Displace’, and ‘Knee point’.

How to determine another heat curve, if necessary:
Choose the calculated flow temperature for your system and the determined min.
outdoor temperature for your area. Pick the heat curve closest to the crossing point of
these two values.
The setting of the desired room temperature has an influence on the calculated flow
temperature (heat curve), no matter if a room temperature sensor is connected or not.
Floor heating systems
This controller is factory set for radiator systems, which typically are high flow temperature
systems. To control floor heating systems, which typically are low flow temperature systems,
you need to change the ‘Slope’ according to your type of system (typical setting: 0.6).

Maintenance
Displace (parallel displacement) 2176
Setting range Factory setting
-20 ... 20 0
Adjust the parallel displacement of the heat curve with a number of degrees, if required.
Whether it is reasonable to change the ‘Slope’ (at outdoor temperatures below 0 °C) or
parallel displacement (at outdoor temperatures above 0 °C) will depend on the individual
heat requirement.
Small increases or reductions in the heating temperature can be implemented by means of
the parallel displacement.
Temp. min. (flow temp. limit, min.) 2177
Setting range Factory setting
10 ... 150 °C 10 °C
Choose the allowed min. flow temperature for your system. Adjust the factory setting, if
required.
Temp. max. (flow temp. limit, max.) 2178
Setting range Factory setting
10 ... 150 °C 90 °C
Choose the allowed max. flow temperature for your system. Adjust the factory setting, if
required.
The setting for ‘Temp. max.’ has higher priority than ‘Temp. min.’.

Maintenance
Room T limit (room temperature limitation) 3000
This section is only relevant if you have installed a room temperature sensor or room
panel / remote control.
The controller adjusts the desired flow temperature to eliminate the difference between
the desired and the actual room temperature.
There are two basic principles for control of the room temperature.
A: Max. room temperature limitation
Use this limitation if your heating system is fully equipped with thermostats and you also
want to obtain a max. limitation of the room temperature. The controller will allow for
free heat gains, i.e. solar radiation or heat from a fire place, etc.
Influence
‘Gain - min.’ (min. limitation)
Desired room temperature
Actual room temperature
‘Gain - max.’ (max. limitation)
The ‘Gain - max.’ determines how much the room temperature should influence the
desired flow temperature.
If the ‘Gain’ is too high and / or the ‘Intgr. time’ too low, there is a risk of unstable control.
Exa mple A1
The actual room temperature is 2 degrees too high.
The ‘Gain - max.’ is set to -4.0.
The ‘Gain - min.’ is set to 0.0.
The ‘Slope’ is 1.8.
Result:
The desired flow temperature is changed by 2 x -4.0 x 1.8 = -14.4 degrees.
14 | © Danfoss | 2021.01
AQ188586469712en-010801
Maintenance
B: Reference room temperature control
Used if your heating system is not equipped with thermostats and you select the room
with room temperature sensor as a temperature reference for the rest of the rooms.
Set a positive value for the ‘Gain - min.’ and a negative value for the ‘Gain - max.’.
Influence
‘Gain - min.’ (min. limitation)
Desired room temperature
Actual room temperature
‘Gain - max.’ (max. limitation)
The room temperature sensor in the reference room measures the actual room
temperature.
If a difference occours between the actual and the desired room temperature, the
desired flow temperature can be corrected. The correction is based on the settings in the
lines 3182 and 3183. This correction of the desired flow temperature will normally give a
correct room temperature. See also line 3015.
Example B1
The actual room temperature is 2 degrees too low.
The ‘Gain - max.’ is set to -3.5.
The ‘Gain - min.’ is set to 2.0.
The ‘Slope’ is 1.8.
Result:
The desired flow temperature is changed by 2 x 2.0 x 1.8 = 7.2 degrees.
Example B2
The actual room temperature is 2 degrees too high.
The ‘Gain - max.’ is set to -3.5.
The ‘Gain - min.’ is set to 2.0.
The ‘Slope’ is 1.8.
Result:
The desired flow temperature is changed by 2 x (-3.5) x 1.8 = -12.6 degrees.

Maintenance
This limitation is based on a PI regulation where P (Gain) responds quickly to deviations
and I (Intgr. time) responds slower and over time removes the small offsets between the
desired and actual values. This is done by changing the desired flow temperature.

Maintenance
Gain - max. (return temp. limitation - max. influence) 4035
Setting range Factory setting
-9.9 ... 9.9 -2.0
Determines how much the flow temperature will be influenced if the return temperature is higher than
the desired ‘Limit ’ (line 4030) (P control).
Influence higher than 0:
The desired flow temperature is increased, when the return temperature gets higher
than the set limit.
Influence lower than 0:
The desired flow temperature is decreased, when the return temperature gets higher
than the set limit.
Example
The return limit is active above 50 °C.
The influence is set to -2.0.
The actual return temperature is 2 degrees too high.
Result:
The desired flow temperature is changed by -2.0 x 2 = -4.0 degrees.
Normally, the setting in line 4035 is lower than 0 in district heating systems to avoid a too
high return temperature.
Typically, the setting in line 4035 is 0 in boiler systems because a higher return temperature
is acceptable (see also line 4036).
Gain - min. (return temp. limitation - min. influence) 4036
Setting range Factory setting
-9.9 ... 9.9 0.0
Determines how much the flow temperature will be influenced if the return temperature is lower than
the desired ‘Limit ’ (line 4030) (P control).
Influence higher than 0:
The desired flow temperature is increased, when the return temperature gets below the
set limit.
Influence lower than 0:
The desired flow temperature is decreased, when the return temperature gets below the
set limit.

Example
The return limit is active below 50 °C.
The influence is set to -3.0.
The actual return temperature is 2 degrees too low.
Result:
The desired flow temperature is changed by -3.0 x 2 = -6.0 degrees.
Normally, the setting in line 4036 is 0 in district heating systems because a lower return
temperature is acceptable.
Typically, the setting in line 4036 is higher than 0 in boiler systems to avoid a too low return
temperature (see also line 4035).
If the return temperature measurement is used as thermometer function only, the settings
in lines 4035 and 4036 should be 0.0.

How to calculate the running time of a motorized control valve
The running time of the motorized control valve is calculated using the following methods:
Seated valves
Running time = Valve stroke (mm) x actuator speed (sec. / mm)
Example: 5.0 mm x 15 sec. / mm = 75 sec.
Rotating valves
Running time = Turning degrees x actuator speed (sec. / degr.)
Example: 90 degr. x 2 sec. / degr. = 180 sec.
Nz (neutral zone) 6187
Setting range Factory setting
1 ... 9 K 3 K
Set the acceptable flow temperature deviation.
Set the neutral zone to a high value if you can accept a high variation in flow
temperature. When the actual flow temperature is within the neutral zone, the controller
does not activate the motorized control valve.
The neutral zone is symmetrical around the desired flow temperature value, i.e. half the
value is above and half the value is below this temperature.

If you want to tune the PI regulation precisely, you can use the following
method:
• Set the ‘Tn’ (integration time constant line 6185) to its max. value (999 sec.).
• Decrease the value for the ‘Xp’ (proportional band line 6184) until the system starts
hunting with a constant amplitude (it might be necessary to force the system by setting
an extreme value).
• Find the critical time period on the temperature recording or use a stop watch.
Temp. Critical time period
Time
This time period will be characteristic for the system, and you can evaluate the settings from
this critical period.
‘Tn’ = 0.85 x critical time period
‘Xp’ = 2.2 x proportional band value in the critical time period.
If the regulation seems to be too slow, you can decrease the proportional band value by
10%.

Placing the temperature sensors
It is important that the sensors are mounted in the correct position in your system.
The temperature sensor mentioned below are sensors used for the ECL Comfort series
which not all will be needed for your application!
Outdoor temperature sensor (ESMT)
The outdoor sensor should be mounted on that side of the building where it is less
likely to be exposed to direct sunshine. It should not be placed close to doors, windows
or air outlets.
Flow temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)
Place the sensor max. 15 cm from the mixing point. In systems with heat exchanger,
Danfoss recommends that the ESMU-type to be inserted into the exchanger flow outlet.
Make sure that the surface of the pipe is clean and even where the sensor is mounted.
Return temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)
The return sensor should always be placed in / on a pipe with return water flow.
Room temperature sensor (ESM-10 or ECA 61 remote control)
Place the room sensor in the room where the temperature is to be controlled. Do not
place it on outer walls or close to radiators, windows or doors.
DHW temperature sensor (ESMU or ESMB-12)
Place the DHW temperature sensor according to the manufacturer’s specification.
Boiler temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)
Place the sensor according to the boiler manufacturer’s specification.
Flow / air duct temperature sensor (ESM-11, ESMB-12, ESMC or ESMU types)
Place the sensor so that it measures a representative temperature.
Surface temperature sensor (ESMB-12)
Place the sensor in the surface of the floor.
Valid for ESM-11: Do not move the sensor after it has been fastened in order to avoid damage
to the sensor element.

Is the ECL Comfort controller ready for use?
Make sure that the correct power supply is connected to terminals 21 (Live)
and 20 (Neutral).
Check that the required controlled units (actuator, pump etc.) are connected
to the correct terminals.
Check that all sensors are connected to the correct terminals.
Switch on the power.
Choose manual operation as controller mode.
Check that valves open and close, and that required controlled units (pump
etc.) start and stop when operated manually.
Check that the temperatures shown in the display match the actual sensors.

Frequently asked questions
The time shown in the display is one hour off?
See the daylight saving time changeover in line 7198.
The time shown in the display is not correct?
The internal clock may have been reset, if there has been a power break for more than 36
hours. Set time and date. See line 1000.
What does the symbol mean?
The flow temperature is under influence of room temperature limitation, return
temperature limitation, boost, ramping, heating cut-out, DHW priority etc.
The room temperature is too low?
Make sure that the radiator thermostats do not limit the room temperature. If you still
cannot obtain the desired room temperature by adjusting the radiator thermostats, the
flow temperature is too low. Increase the desired room temperature (line 3000). If this
does not help, adjust the heat curve / desired temperature (line 2000).
The room temperature is too high during setback periods?
Make sure that the min. flow temperature limitation is not too high. See line 2177.
The temperature is unstable?
• Check that the flow temperature sensor is correctly connected and in the right place.
• If the controller has a room temperature signal (line 3000), check that the Gain is not
too high.
• Adjust the control parameters (line 6000).
The controller does not operate and the control valve is closed?
• Check that the flow temperature sensor is measuring the correct value, see ‘Daily use’.
• Check the influence from other measured temperatures ( ).
How to restore the factory settings?
See line 7600.
What does P and PI control mean?
P control: Proportional control.
By using a P control, the controller will change the flow temperature proportional to the
difference between a desired and an actual temperature, e.g. a room temperature.
A P control will always have an offset which not will disappear over time.
PI control: Proportional and Integrating control.
A PI control does the same as a P control, but the offset will disappear over time.
A long ‘Intgr. time’ will give a slow but stable control, and a short ‘Intgr. time’ will result in
a fast control but with a higher risk of oscillations.

temperature, the earlier the start time. During optimization the comfort / setback
symbol will blink.
Return temperature
The temperature measured in the return can influence the desired flow temperature.
Room temperature sensor
Temperature sensor placed in the room (reference room, typically the living room) where
the temperature is to be controlled.
Room temperature
Temperature measured by the room temperature sensor, room panel or remote
control. The room temperature can only be controlled directly if a room temperature is

individually for each week day and it consists of 2 comfort periods per day.
Setback temperature
Temperature maintained in the heating / DHW circuit during setback temperature
periods.
Time bar
The time bars illustrate scheduled periods with comfort temperature.
Weather compensation
