General information:
EC3-D72 is the superheat controller with TCP/IP connection for stepper motor
driven Electrical Control Valves EX4-6 from EMERSON and is optimiz ed to oper ate
with the Copeland Digital Scroll series utilizing a 0-10V input from a third-party
controller. The controller synchronizes the PWM digital compressor solenoid valve
with the superheat controlled by the electrical control valve; EX series.
The EC3-D73 has the same functionality but can only be set-up via the ECD-002
display. It has no external communication functi onality.
Safety instruc tions:
• Read operatin g ins tructi ons th orou ghly. Failur e to com ply c an res ult in device
failure, system damage or personal injury.
• According to EN 13313 it is intended for use by persons having the
appropriate knowledge and skill.
• Do not exceed the specified maximum ratings for pressure, temperature,
voltage and current.
• Before in stallation or service disconnect all voltages from system and device.
• Do not operate system before all cable connections are completed.
• Entire electr i c a l c on n e c t ions have to comply with local regulations.
Note: The EC3 -D7x series contains a VRLA battery = valve regulated rechargeable
lead-acid battery. The batte ry m ust NOT be dis posed of w ith othe r comme rcia l was te.
Instead, it is the use r ’s r es ponsi bility t o pass it to a desig na te d col le ctio n po int f or the
safe recycling of batteries (harmonized directive 2012/19/EU). For further
information contact your local environmental recycling center.
Mounting position:
The EC3-D7x is designed to be mounted onto a standard DIN rail. Mounting
position: on vertic al walls, with stepper motor conn ector on top side only.
Mounting of ECD-002:
• ECD-002 can be installed at any time also during operation.
• ECD-002 can be mounted in panels with
71x29 mm cutout.
• Push controller into panel cut-out.(1)
• Make sure that mounting lugs are flush with
outside of controller h ousing
• 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 keypad is
secured. Do not over tighten as mounting lugs
Electrical Installation:
• Refer to the electrical wiring diagram for electrical connections.
• Do not apply voltage to the controller before completion of wiring.
• Ground the metal housing with a 6.3 mm spade connector.
• Keep controller and sensor wiring well separated from mains wiring. Minimum
recommended distance 30 mm.
• Use a class II category transformer for 24 VAC power supply. Do not ground the
24 VAC lines. We recommend using individual transformers for EC3 controller(s)
and for 3
rd
party controllers t o avoid poss ible in terference or gr oun ding p roblems
in the pow er suppl y. Connecting any EC3 inputs to mains voltage will permanently
damage the EC3.
• The use of the relay is essential to protect the system in case of power failure if the
communications interface or the ECD-002 are not utilized.
• If the output relay is not utilized, the user must ensure appropriate safety pre-
cautions are in place to protect the system against damage caused by a power
failure.
• In order to provide system protection in the event of power loss, it is recommended
to change the battery annually.

Possibilities of connecting EC3-D72 to a network or PC:
• 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.
• Connect t he E C3-D72 using the optional ECC-Nxx cable assembly or a standard
CAT5 netw or k cabl e with RJ45 pl ugs asse m bly t o a ne tw or k or route r that e na bl e s
the controller to receive a dynamic TCP/IP address or
• Connect the EC3-D72 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.
Setting and visualizing Data: WebPages
(recommended method)
• Make sure that digital input is 0V (open), turn the power supply ON.
• Four parameters i.e. refrigerant type (u0), pressure sensor type (uP), valve type (ut)
and control mode can be set only when digital input is open (0V) while the power
supply is O N (24 V). This feature is for added safety to prevent accidental damage
of compressors and other system components. All other parameters can be
modified at any time.
• The EC3-D72 has a TCP/IP Ethernet communication interface enabling the
controller t o be di rect ly conn ect ed to a net work or a P C via th e stand ard Eth ern et
port. The EC3-D72 controller has embedded WebPages to enable the user to
visualize the parameter lists using real t ex t labels.
• To view WebPages on the PC, a standard Web Br owser li ke Internet E xplorer ® or
Mozilla Firefox and JRE Java Runtime Environment is needed. JRE can be
downloaded at no charge from the www.java.com website.
• Open the Internet bro wser prog r a m o n the compute r and, if EC3-D72 is connected
directly to PC with a crossover cable enter the default TCP/IP address of the
controller (192.168.1.101) into the address line, or the dynamic address from the
DHCP server from network/Router. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file
if a specific port is required.
• It is possible to identify the dynamic TCP/IP address assigned by DHCP of the
Router or network, refer to the TCP/IP Controller-Readme file.
• After a few moments, the default monitoring page should be displayed. If the
browser do es not open the defaul t pag e or display activ e data , the use r sho uld che ck
the Internet browser “Option” configuration. Refer to the TCP/IP Controller-
Readme file.
• 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 u pon the initi al re quest to a ny of the o ther We bPage s. The factory defaul t
settings a re: Username: “EmersonID”, Password: “12”
• The default settings may be modified on the Display configuration page.
• Press the tabs at the top o f the Mon itor ing pa ge w ith a lef t clic k of the mo use butto n
to enter the respective Webp age.
• The param eters will b e visualized 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. Superhea t,
evaporating pressure, coil-out temperature and evaporating temperature are
available on a 15 minutes rolli ng chart. Ref er to the TCP/IP C ontroller-Readme
file for a comp lete descrip tion of the feat ures availa ble for the TCP/ IP series of
controllers.
