Back up power module
Type EKE 2U
Introduction
EKE 2U module is an optional energy storage device. The module can provide enough energy
during power failure to the stepper controller to ensure closure of the electronic valves. It can be
080R9346
used with one or two controllers depending on the application.
State of Health (SOH) function of EKE 2U gives feedback to controllers to detect the status of the
backup module and lets the controller know if the backup is Ready to use, Charging or Failed.
Power Failure signal (PF): This signal should be connected to controller only if the controller
cannot detect power failure by itself. Not required for EKE controllers.
Load Switch, EKE 2U can deliver power backup for 2 valves. While using more than 1 valve the
load switch can be changed to deliver more energy.
Compatible Controllers: Danfoss EKE series and MCX controllers. For other controllers, please
contact Danfoss.
