Sketch your application
The ECL Comfort controller series is designed for a wide
range of heating and hot-water systems with different
configurations and capacities.
If your system differs 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 final
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 P30 is very flexible. These are the basic principles:
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 or the outdoor temperature is
lower than 2 °C.
Before you start

Installation
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 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, 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 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.

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 ... S4 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:
Closed switch: Closed switch:
Comfort temperature Setb ack 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 influence from contact resistance, the use of ECA 9010
is recommended.

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 factor y 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 heat curve
according to your type of system.

There are two basic principles for control of the room
temperature influence:
A: Max. room temperature limitation
Use this limitation if your heating system is fully equipped
with radiator 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.

B: Reference room temperature control
Used if your heating system is not equipped with radiator
thermostats and you select the room with room sensor as a
temperature reference for the rest of the rooms.
(However, should you have a few radiator thermostats
installed, make sure that they are fully open).
Set a positive value for the min. influence and a negative
value for the max. influence.
The room sensor in the reference room registers the
difference between the desired and the actual room
temperature. The desired flow temperature will be corrected
to eliminate this difference.
Example 1
The actual room temperature is 2 degrees too low.
The influence at max. limitation (right corner of the display) is
set to -35.
The influence at min. limitation (left corner of the display) is set
to 20.
Heat curve H is 1.8.
Result:
The desired flow 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 influence at max. limitation (right corner of the display) is
set to -35.
The influence at min. limitation (left corner of the display) is set
to 20.
Heat curve H is 1.8.
Result:
The desired flow temperature is changed by
2 x (-35) x 1.8 x 0.1= -12.6 degrees.

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: 90 degrees x 2 = 180 sec.
Control parameters lines 4-7

Basic set-up
7 Neutral zone, Nz
Setting range Factory setting
0 ... 9 K 3 K
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 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 integration time (line 5) to its max. value
(999 sec.).
• Decrease the value for the proportional 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 propor tional 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.

Definitions
Air duct temperature
Temperature measured in the air duct where the temperature is
to be controlled.
Balance temperature
This setpoint is the basis for the flow / air duct temperature. The
balance temperature can be adjusted by the room temperature,
the compensation temperature and the return temperature.
The balance temperature is only active if a room temperature
sensor is connected.
Comfort operation
Normal temperature in the system controlled by the schedule.
During heating the flow temperature in the system is higher
to maintain the desired room temperature. During cooling the
flow temperature in the system is lower to maintain the desired
room temperature.

The temperature measured in the return influences 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 sensor is installed. The room
temperature influences the desired flow temperature.

Save energy - save money - improve
your comfort temperature
The ECL Comfort controller is designed by Danfoss for the
automatic temperature control of heating and hot-water
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
When operating the controller it is advisable to keep the lid
open in order to view the entire display.
The ECL Card is divided vertically into two columns each
representing a circuit.
Horizontally the ECL Card is divided into lines that
