EC2-311 Display Case and Coldroom Controller
Operating Instructions
Note: This document contains short form instructions for experienced users.
Use last column in List of Parameters to document your individual settings.
More detailed information can be found in the User Manual.
The EC2-311 is a dedicated refrigeration controller with superheat control and a
driver for an Alco Controls Electric Control Valve EX2. In addition the EC2-311
controls air temperature and manages defrost and fan(s).

Two ECN-Pxx pipe temperature sensors (1) and (2) measure saturated suction gas
temperatures at the evaporator inlet and outlet and feed the signals into the
superheat control loop. The superheat controller output modulates the opening of
the EX2 pulse width modulated Electrical Control Valve (6) thus optimising the
refrigerant mass flow through the evaporator. The ECN-Sxx air temperature
sensors (3) and (4) measure air-in and air-out temperature of the evaporator and
feed signals into the air temperature thermostat. The ECN-Fxx fin sensor (5) is
used for defrost termination. The controller has 3 relay outputs to control the
compressor (7), defrost heater (9) and evaporator fan (8). Please consult the
technical data (right) for input and output ratings.
In case of power loss, due to the positive shut-off characteristics of the EX2
Electrical Control Valves, a liquid line solenoid valve is not needed to prevent
flooding of the compressor.

Safety instructions:
• Read installation instructions thoroughly. Failure to comply can result in
device failure, system damage or personal injury.
• The product is intended for use by persons having the appropriate
knowledge and skills.
• Ensure electrical ratings per technical data are not exceeded.

Mounting
The EC2-311 can be mounted in panels with a 71 x
29 mm cutout. See dimensional drawing below for
space requirements including rear connectors.
Push controller into panel cutout.(1)
Make sure that mounting lugs are flush with outside
of controller housing
Insert allen key into front panel holes and turn
clockwise. Mounting lugs will turn and gradually
move towards panel (2)
Turn allen key until mounting lug barely touches
panel. Then move other mounting lug to the same
position (3)
Tighten both sides very carefully until controller is
secured. Do not over tighten as mounting lugs will
break easily.
Electrical Installation
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram (below) for electrical connections. A copy of
this diagram is labeled on the controller. Use connection wires/cables suitable for
90°C operation (EN 60730-1)

EC2 analog inputs are for dedicated sensors only and should not be connected to
any other devices. Connecting any EC2 inputs to mains voltage will permanently
damage the EC2.
Important: Keep controller and sensor wiring well separated from mains wiring.
Minimum recommended distance 30mm.
Warning: Use a class II category transformer for 24VAC power supply
(EN 61558). Do not ground the 24VAC lines. We recommend to use one
transformer per EC2 controller and to use separate transformers for 3
rd
party
controllers, to avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power
supply. Connecting any EC2 inputs to mains voltage will permanently damage the
EC2.

Operating Instructions
Recommended Sensor Positions in Detail:
(1) ECN-Pxx coil-in temperature sensor: Position on the first return bend of the
evaporator.
(2) ECN-Pxx coil-out temperature sensor: Position directly after the evaporator on
the common suction line.
(3) ECN-Sxx air-in temperature sensor: Position in the middle of the cabinet as
high as possible.
(4) ECN-Sxx air-out temperature sensor: Position asymmetric closer to the
expansion valve as high as possible.
(5) ECN-Fxx fin temperature sensor: Position on the evaporator, asymmetric closer
to the expansion valve.
Recommendations for mounting both pipe sensors: Insure proper thermal contact
by using a metallic pipe clamp or temperature resistant plastic straps. Do not use
standard plastic tie wraps (as used for electrical wiring) as they may become loose
over time, which could result in faulty temperature measurements and poor
superheat control performance. It is recommended to insulate the pipe temperature
sensor with ARMAFLEX™ or equivalent. The recommended position of the pipe
sensors is between 9 and 3 o’clock as shown in the picture.
Both air temperature sensors should be mounted on spacers in the air duct so that
there is airflow around.
Caution: The sensor cables can be extended if necessary. The connection must be
protected against water and dust.
The superheat control is based on the two temperature sensors (1) and (2). The
coil-in simulates the saturated suction temperature. Though the suggested position
is the first return bend, alternative positions may be selected but the measured
temperature should be checked against the pressure measured at the suction header.
The evaporator outlet temperature sensor should be mounted on the common
suction header of the evaporator. The superheat is calculated from the difference
between these two sensors.
A calibration correction can be made using the parameter u1 (see procedure
below).
Setup and Parameter Modification Using the Keypad
For convenience, an infrared receiver for the optional IR remote control unit is
build-in, enabling quick and easy modification of the system parameters when a
computer interface is not available.
Alternatively, the parameters can be accessed via the 4-button keypad. The
configuration parameters are protected by a numerical password. The default
password is “12”. To select the parameter configuration:
• Press the PRG button for more than 5 seconds, a flashing “0” is displayed
• Press
• Press SEL to confirm password
The first modifiable parameter code is displayed (/1).
To modify parameters see Parameters modification below.
Parameter Modification: Procedure
• Press or to show the code of the parameter that has to be changed;
• Press SEL to display the selected parameter value;
• Press
• Press SEL to temporarily confirm the new value and display its code;
• Repeat the procedure from the beginning "press
To exit and save the new settings:
• Press PRG to confirm the new values and exit the parameters modification
procedure.
To exit without modifying any parameter:
• Do not press any button for at least 60 seconds (TIME OUT).
• Press “ESC” on IR remote control.

• Press SEL to confirm password, a “0” is displayed and the Special Function
mode is activated.
• Press
• Press SEL to activate the function without leaving the special function mode.
• Press PRG to activate the function and leave the special function mode.
Most of the Special Functions work in a toggle mode, the first call activates the
function, and the second call deactivates the function.
The indication of the function can only be displayed after exiting the special
function mode.
• 0: Display test function
• 1: Clear alarm messages
• 2: Cleaning mode. The cleaning mode is effectively a manual defrost with the
option of the fans on/off. The cleaning mode should not be used in order to
isolate the application for maintenance purposes.
• 3: Fans only
• 4: Set the electronic control valve to 100% open
• 5: Resets all parameters to the factory default setting. The controller will
indicate “oF” during the reset and the valve will close.
Display of Data:
The data to be shown on the display can be selected by the user. In case of an
alarm, the alarm code is displayed alternately with the selected data. The user can
inhibit the alarm code. Press the SEL button to scroll through all possible
displayable data.
The display will show for one second the numerical identifier of the data and then
the selected data. After two minutes the display will return to the by parameter /1
selected data.
It is possible to temporarily display the values of the different sensors. This is a
useful feature when initially setting-up the system without the aid of the
WebPages. Press the SEL sequentially. The value displayed on the screen
corresponds to the number corresponding to the /1 parameter. Action only valid

Visualising Data: LON Monitoring Server
The EC2-311 has a LON communication interface enabling the controller to be
directly connected to a Monitoring Server. It can be connected by using the optional
cable assembly to a LON network (ECC-014, order nr. 804 381, with RJ45 to open,
cable length 3m).
Neuron ID / Service PIN:
The service pin is available on the display. It is used to identify the controller in a
LON network. Press the
LED in the left upper corner will indicate the transmission of the Neuron ID.
The default settings may be modified remotely from the Monitoring Server via the
LON network. Consult the Monitoring Server user manual for more information.
It is also possible to display live graphical data on the server or to log data
containing the control temperature at defined intervals.
