Stepper Valve Driver
Type EKF 1A, EKF 2A
Introduction
Stepper Valve Driver EKF series is for use where stepper motor valves must be accurately controlled,
typically in commercial air conditioning, heat pumps, commercial refrigeration and food retailing
080R0435
applications.
Technical Specificatons
Supply voltage EKF 1A: 24 V AC / DC 50 / 60 Hz
EKF 2A: 24 V AC / DC, 50 / 60 Hz
Power consumption Idle operating: < 1 W (without valve)
Power consumption for using 1 valve.
CCMT 16 – CCMT 42: 25 VA / 15 W
ETS 5M, ETS 6: 20 VA / 10 W
ETS 12C – ETS 100C, KVS C: 30 VA /15 W
ETS 12.5 – 400: 10 VA / 5 W
ETS 500P, 800P: 28 VA / 20 W
CCMT 2- CCMT 8: 10 VA / 5 W
CTR 20: 14 VA / 10 W
CCMT L: 20 VA / 10 W
When using two valves sum the power consumption of each valve.

• Supports both Bipolar and Unipolar motor.
• Only one connection can be used, either 4 pole terminal block or JST XHP-5 pin connector.
• It is possible to share power supply with 2 EKF and battery backup if battery backup is galvanic isolated and the polarity of power
supply is maintained correct. The same should be observed while sharing power supply with EKF and master controller (AI signal)•
• Connect PE either to the or of power connector. If grounding is done in the transformer do not use EKF grounding connector.

Quick set up guide
1. Disconnect power to EKF.
2. Connect Valve and Analog signal to the dedicated terminals. Select the Valve via DIP switch 1 to 5.
3. Select the required Analog signal input via DIP switch 7 and 8. For EKF 2A, perform 3 and 4 for both DIP switches.
4. Connect EKF to power and the device is ready to use
