Sketch your application
The ECL Comfort controller series is designed for a wide
range of heating, domestic hot-water (DHW) and cooling
systems with dierent congurations and capacities.
If your system diers from the diagrams shown in section
10, you may want to make a sketch of the system about to
be installed. This makes it easier to use the Installer’s Guide,
which will guide you step-by-step from installation to nal
adjustments before the end-user takes over.
The controller is pre-programmed with factory settings that are
shown in the relevant sections of this guide.
However, you might come across some settings that are not listed
in this instruc tion. These settings could be related either to recent
updates or the use of optional modules (which are described in
the instructions in question).
How to use this guide
This guide is divided into two parts:
• User’s Guide: Yellow sections 1-7
• Installer's Guide: Grey sections 10 and onwards
The application F66 is very exible. These are the basic principles:
Heating:
Typically, the ow temperature is adjusted according to your
requirements.
The ow temperature sensor (S3) is the most important sensor.
The desired ow temperature at S3 is calculated in the ECL
controller, based on the outdoor temperature (S1). The lower the
outdoor temperature, the higher the desired ow temperature.
The motorized control valve (M1) is opened gradually when the
ow temperature is lower than the desired ow temperature and
vice versa.
The return temperature (S4) to the district heating supply should
not be too high. If so, the desired ow 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 ow temperature can be adjusted.
DHW:
If the measured DHW temperature (S5) is lower than the desired
DHW temperature, the motorized control valve (M2) is opened
gradually and vice versa.
If the desired DHW temperature cannot be reached, the heating
circuit can be closed gradually.
Before you start

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 200 and 300 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 ow 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 ow.
Room temperature sensor (ESM-10, ECA 60 / 62 room
panel or ECA 61 / 63 remote control)
Place the room sensor in the room where the temperature is
to be controlled. Do not place it on outside 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 specication.
Boiler temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)
Place the sensor according to the boiler manufacturer’s
specication.
Flow / air duct temperature sensor (ESM-11, ESMB-12,
ESMC or ESMU types)
Place the sensor so that it measures a representative
temperature.
Slab temperature sensor (ESMB-12)
Place the sensor in the slab.
Valid for ESM-11: Do not move the sensor after it has been
fastened in order to avoid damage to the sensor element.
Installation
14c
Connecting the room panel / remote control
The ECA 60 / 61 / 62 / 63 is activated by the setting in line 10
(section 32).
The ECA 60 / 61 / 62 / 63 is powered by the system device bus
which means that the bus must be active. The bus is activated by
setting the controller address to 15 (section 32, line 199).
Override
For an active override, you have to choose the mode
“scheduled operation”! Input S1 ... S6 (ECL Card C14 only uses
S5) can be used for override purposes (section 32, line 141).
Connection example without ECA 9010
If the override switch has goldplated contacts, you can
choose one of the following solutions or a combination of
both:
(C14 = 21 only) (C14 = 21 only)
Closed switch: Closed switch:
Comfort temperature Setback temperature
Open switch: Open switch:
Scheduled op eration Scheduled operation
Connection example with ECA 9010
The ECA 9010 module is powered by the system device bus,
which means that the bus must be active. The bus is activated
by setting the controller address to 15 (line 199). To avoid
inuence from contact resistance, the use of ECA 9010 is
recommended.

How to insert your ECL Card the rst time
After the power has been switched on, open the lid on the
front side of the controller.
Place the ECL Card with the yellow side facing you. This
enables the controller to read the ECL Card data. The
controller immediately starts to copy the application type
and factory settings from the ECL Card. After copying, the
display will show you the application type. After approx. 10
sec. the display will change to display line C.

Installation
Understanding the ECL Card
The ECL Card contains factory settings for a standard
system. If the actual system diers from the standard
system, the controller must be adjusted accordingly. After
the adjustment, the new settings should be stored on the
ECL Card.
For ECL Card copying and daily use including adjustment
of temperatures and schedules, insert the ECL Card with
the yellow side facing you.
For system set-up adjustments, the grey side of the ECL
Card - the installer’s side - must be facing you.
As a main rule, the ECL Card should always remain in the
controller during service, maintenance and setting.
If the card is removed or left in the controller with the grey
side facing you, please note that:
• After approx. 25 min.:
- The controller cannot be operated.
- The controller reverts to display C (section 1).
• The ECL Card must not be exposed to direct heat or
sunshine.
If several controllers are installed in the system you can
write a title on the ECL Card with a permanent ink pen.
Do not remove the ECL Card while copying. The data on the
ECL Card can be damaged!
When you store your personal settings on your ECL Card, the
factory settings will be overridden.

How to determine another heat curve, if necessary:
Choose the calculated ow 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 inuence
on the calculated ow temperature (heat curve), no matter if a
room temperature sensor is connected or not.
Floor heating systems
This controller is factor y set for radiator systems, which typically
are high ow temperature systems.
To control oor heating systems, which typically are low ow
temperature systems, you need to change the heat curve
according to your type of system.
Slope

A: Max. room temperature limitation
Use this limitation if your 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 re place, etc.

Used if your 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 min. inuence and a negative
value for the max. inuence.
The room temperature sensor in the reference room registers
the dierence between the desired and the actual room
temperature. The desired ow temperature will be corrected
to eliminate this dierence.
Example 1
The actual room temperature is 2 degrees too low.
The inuence at max. limitation (right corner of the display) is
set to -35.
The inuence at min. limitation (left corner of the display) is set
to 20.
Heat curve H is 1.8.
Result:
The desired ow temperature is changed by
2 x 20 x 1.8 x 0.1 = 7.2 degrees.
Example 2
The actual room temperature is 2 degrees too high.
The inuence at max. limitation (right corner of the display) is
set to -35.
The inuence at min. limitation (left corner of the display) is set
to 20.
Heat curve H is 1.8.
Result:
The desired ow temperature is changed by
2 x (-35) x 1.8 x 0.1 = -12.6 degrees.

6 Running time of the motorized control valve
Circuit Setting range Factory setting
I / II 5 ... 250 sec. 35 / 15 sec.
Set the running time of the motorized control
valve according to the example. This is the time it
takes the controlled unit to move from fully closed
to fully open position.
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: 9 0 degrees x 2 = 180 sec.

7 Neutral zone, Nz
Circuit Setting range Factory setting
I / II 0 ... 9 K 3 / 3 K
Set the neutral zone to a high value if you can
accept a high variation in ow temperature.
When the actual ow temperature is within the
neutral zone, the controller does not activate the
motorized valve.
The neutral zone is symmetrical around the desired ow
temperature value, i.e. half the value is above and half the value is
below this temperature.
Control parameters (lines 4 -7) are overruled if thermo actuator is
chosen (OFF).
If you want to tune the PI regulation precisely, you can
use the following method:
• Set the integration time (line 5) to its max. value
(999 sec.).
• Decrease the value for the propor tional band (line 4) 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.
Critica l time period
Time
This time period will be characteristic for the system, and you can
evaluate the set tings from this critical period.
Integration time = 0.85 x critical time period
Proportional band = 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%.
Make sure there is a consumption when you set the parameters.

Control parameters lines 4-7 (DHW)
Auto tuning
The auto tuning function automatically determines the
control parameters for DHW control. Thus you do not need
to set the parameter lines 4, 5, 6, and 7 in circuit II, as they are
automatically set to the auto tuning function.
Auto tuning is typically used in connection with the
installation of the controller, but it can be activated when
needed, e.g. for an extra check of the control parameters.
Before starting the auto tuning, the tapping ow should be
adjusted to the relevant value (see table below).
Recommended tapping load
No. of
apartments
Heat
transfer (kW)
Constant tapping load
(l / min)
1-2 30-49 3 (or 1 tap 25% open)
3-9 50-79 6 (or 1 tap 50% open)
10-49 80-149 12 (or 1 tap 100% open)
50-129 150-249 18 (or 1 tap 100% + 1 tap 50%
open)
130-210 250-350 24 (or 2 taps 100% open)
If possible, any additional DHW consumption should be
avoided during the auto tuning process. Should the tapping
load vary too much, the auto tuning and controller will return
to the default settings.
Auto tuning is set to ON / OFF by using the service parameter
line 173, push (ON) and (OFF). When the auto tuning
is ended, the service parameter is automatically set to OFF
(default setting). This will be indicated in the display.
The auto tuning process takes up to 25 minutes.
Important!
In order to meet the summer- / winter variations, the ECL
clock must be set to the correct date for an successful auto
tuning. The motor protection function (line 174) has to be
deactivated during auto tuning.
During auto tuning the circulation pump for tap water must
be switched o. This is done automatically if the pump is
controlled by the ECL controller.
Auto tuning is only applicable in connection with valves that are
approved for auto tuning, i.e. the Danfoss types VB 2 and VM 2
with split characteristic as well as logarithmic valves such as VF.

signal for DHW demand in the master.
1 ... 9: The slave receives information about the
outdoor temperature (S1), system time, and
signal for DHW demand in the master.
The slave sends information about the
desired ow temperature to the master.
15: The controller is master. The master sends
information about the outdoor temperature
(S1), system time, and the DHW demand
signal.
The master receives the desired ow
temperature information from the slaves
with addresses 1 ... 9.
The bus is active and connected ECAs are
powered.
The ECL Comfort controllers can be connected via the bus to
perform a larger system. The controller, which is physically
connected with the outdoor temperature sensor, is the
master of the entire system and automatically gets the
address 15.
Each slave must be congured with its own address (1 ... 9).
However, more slaves can have the address 0 if they only have
to receive information about outdoor temperature, system
time, and signal for DHW demand in the master.

Save energy - save money - improve
your comfort temperature
The ECL Comfort controller is designed by Danfoss for the
automatic temperature control of heating, domestic hotwater (DHW), ventilation and cooling systems.
Some of the advantages of the ECL Comfort controller system
are:
• Secure control and the optimum use of energy resources.
• Control of system temperatures according to seasonal
changes and variations in outdoor temperatures.
• Setback temperature periods and low energy consumption
while you are out or asleep save heating costs.
Operating the ECL Comfort controller in general
When operating the controller it is advisable to keep the lid
open in order to view the entire display.
During operation the ECL Card must be inserted with the
yellow side facing you.
The ECL Card, which is equipped with a memory chip, is
simple and easy to handle.
The ECL Card is divided vertically into two columns each
representing a circuit.
Horizontally the ECL Card is divided into lines that
represent the dierent control and programming options
for the two circuits. Each line is shown in the display of the
controller, which gives you an instant overview of the
operation, settings etc.
