EC2-712 Condenser Controller
Operating Instructions
GB
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 EC2-712 has been designed to control condensers with up to four fans. The
purpose of the controller is to keep condensing pressure to a minimum by
switching fans on or off.
The PT5 pressure transmitter (5) senses condensing pressure and feeds the signal
into a condensing pressure dead band control loop. Condensing pressure is
modulated by turning fan motors on and off.
No change occurs as long as the condensing pressure remains within the dead band
(P1) around the condensing pressure setpoint (P0). The controller will add/remove
fan capacity when the condensing pressure goes beyond the limits of the
condensing pressure dead band. For stable condenser operation, adjustable time
delays for fan motor on and off are available. To avoid premature wear of
individual fan motors, run time equalization is built into the controller.
remove capacity dead band add capacity
Condensing Pressure
A fast recovery procedure can be used to immediately switch off all fans when the
condensing pressure falls below a set limit. Similarly an emergency routine can be
activated automatically if the condensing pressure exceeds a definable limit.

Mounting
The EC2-712 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 clamps are flush with
outside of controller housing
Insert allen key into front panel holes and turn
clockwise. Mounting clamp will turn and gradually
move towards panel (2)
Turn allen key until mounting clamp barely touches
panel. Then move other mounting clamp to the same
position (3)
Tighten both sides very carefully until controller is
secured. Do not over tighten as mounting clamps
will break easily.
Electrical Installation
Refer to the electrical wiring diagram
(right) for electrical connections. A copy
of this diagram is labelled 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. Volt free digital
inputs should only be connected to serial
control loops or relays with gold
contacts. They should not be connected
to any other devices
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 60742). 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.

Visualising Data: WebPages
A TCP/IP Controller-Readme file is available on the www.emersonclimate.eu
website to provide detailed information about TCP/IP Ethernet connectivity. Please
refer to this file if you need information beyond the contents of this instruction
sheet.
The EC2-712 has a TCP/IP Ethernet communication interface enabling the
controller to be directly connected to a PC or network via the standard Ethernet
port. The EC2-712 controller has embedded WebPages to enable the user to easily
visualise the parameter lists using real text labels.
No special software or hardware is required.
Connect the EC2-712 using the optional ECX-N60 cable assembly to a network or
hub that enables the controller to receive a dynamic TCP/IP address. If a DHCP
server is not available, the controller can be connected to a computer using a
crossover cable plugged directly into the Ethernet port. In this case, the TCP/IP
address of the computer must be manually modified to be compatible with the
default address of the controller. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file for
more details.
Open the Internet browser program on the computer and enter the default TCP/IP
address of the controller into the address line of the Internet browser:
192.168.1.101 or the dynamic address from the DHCP server. The default
communication port is 1030. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file if a
specific port is required
After a few moments, the default monitoring page should be displayed. If the
browser does not open the default page or display active data, the user should
check the Internet browser “Option” configuration. Refer to the TCP/IP
Controller-Readme file.
In addition, for those customers wishing to connect the controllers into a larger
system, it is also possible to trap network variables using the SNMP protocol.
Refer to the User Manual for further details.
The Monitoring and Alarm WebPages are read only and therefore it is not
necessary to enter a username or password. A username and password will be
requested upon the initial request to any of the other WebPages. The factory
default settings are :
Username: EmersonID
Password: 12
The default settings may be modified in the Display configuration page.
Press the tabs at the top of the Monitoring page with a left click of the mouse
button to enter the respective Webpage.
The parameters will be visualised in real text together with the program code as
defined in the parameter list below.
After the parameters have been modified, the complete list of settings can be saved
to the memory of the computer and used later to upload into another controller.
This can save a considerable amount of time when using multiple controllers and
over a period of time, a library can be created containing the parameter lists for
equipment for different applications.
It is also possible to display live graphical data from the controller. In addition, a
permanent 30 days log file containing the control temperature at 15 minutes
intervals is stored in the non-volatile memory to be later transferred using FTP to
the computer. The log file can be imported into a standard spreadsheet program
such as Excel. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file for a complete
description of the features available for the TCP/IP series of controllers.
