1. Product information
1.1 Function
Use The exodraft EBC24 is a Modulating Fan Control used with up to two appliances to monitor and
maintain a constant draft or pressure in a chimney or duct. This is achieved by modulating the speed
of a chimney fan or ventilator. The EBC24 can be used with models RSV, BESF and BESB. It can control
the fan speed directly or via a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
The EBC24 is typically used to control the draft in systems requiring a single boiler or water heater.
Function The control monitors the draft in a chimney system via connection to a pressure sensor (XTP) at-
tached to the chimney, and maintains it by modulating the fan speed. The control has an integrated
safety system that assures the heating appliance is shut down in case of fan failure or control failure.
The use of the EBC24 is not restricted to any type of fuel or type of heating appliance. When the appliance thermostat closes and calls for heat, the control will send maximum voltage to the chimney
fan or VFD. When the necessary draft is achieved, the control will allow boiler ring and regulate the
voltage to the fan or VFD, so the required draft is maintained (the value can be viewed in the display).
In case of insucient draft, the control will assure the burner will be shut down after 15 seconds (Can
be adjusted). When the appliance has satised the thermostat and shuts down, the control will turn
o the fan.
The control can be used in one of two ways:
• Interlocked with the appliance to pre-purge the chimney prior to boiler start-up and post-purge the
chimney for a variable time after boiler shut down.
• Set to run the fan continuously.
3
Other functions The control has an integrated safety function. It can be operated with either a manual reset function
(reset button) or an automatic reset function. All terminal connections are monitored by LED’s for
easy service and troubleshooting.

3. Mechanical installation
3.1 Location
The control and the transducer must be installed inside, preferably in the boiler room. The control does not need to be
installed in an enclosure. Fig. 2 shows how the components are connected.
EBC24 Control
Fig. 2aFig. 2
The transducer cannot be mounted inside an airtight enclosure. It uses the boiler room pressure/atmospheric pressure as reference pressure.
3.2 Mounting of control
5
The control can be mounted directly on a wall or similar.
y Remove the clear cover.
y The mounting holes are located under the plastic screws that hold the cover in place (Fig. 3).
y The distance between the control and the transducer should not exceed three hundred (300) feet.
Fig. 3
3120065 EBC24 US 20170329
3.3 Mounting of transducer
Attention must be paid to the position and location of the transducer. Fig. 5 shows the required position. Failure to follow
6
this instruction may result in an inoperable system.
y An Ashcroft XTP-sensor used for sensing draft should be mounted within six (6) feet of the stack probe.
y An Ashcroft XTP-sensor used for sensing room pressure should be mounted within fty (50) feet of the Outdoor
Pressure Probe.
Fig. 4
3.4 Mounting of stack probe
The probe (Fig. 2a on page 5) is inserted into the chimney or vent at the point where the draft should be kept constant.
This could be at the appliance outlet, in the vent or similar.
Referring to Fig. 2, make sure the tip of the tube is ush with the inner wall of the stack. Inserting it too far may aect the
reading and thereby the operation.
3.5 Connecting transducer to stack probe
The transducer is connected to the stack probe via a silicone tube. Make sure that the tube is connected to the proper
transducer port as shown in Fig. 5.

4. Electrical installation
4.1 General
DANGER
Turn o electrical power before servicing. Contact with live electric components can cause shock or death.
NOTE
EBC24 is designed for 1x120 VAC power supply only. Fan output is regulating on the phase side and
cannot be connected to other circuits.
The control can be used in two ways:
y Connected so the fan runs continuously independent of appliance operation (see paragraph 4.2).
y Interlocked with an appliance so the appliance operation indirectly controls the fan operation (see paragraph 4.3).
In both cases the control will still monitor and maintain a constant draft.
There are two types of safety systems available:
y Integrated Proven Draft Switch (standard)
y Integrated Proven Draft Switch with external Proven Draft Switch (accessory) backup
(see paragraph 4.4).

5. Startup and conguration
5.1 General
When power is supplied to the control it will go through a start-up procedure to detect and check all components and
appliances installed.
5.5 Basic control set-up
Once power is turned ON the control can be programmed. Most parameters are programmed at the factory and do not
need to be changed. The most common parameters are shown below.
To enter the setup menu, press the “” key for more than 5 seconds. The password 3142 must be entered using the up and
down buttons, and after that press the “” key.
Menu 11: SET EXHAUST
For setting the draft or exhaust pressure. Although the value, when measured in the eld, is negative pressure it shows up
as a positive value on the display. The lowest possible value is 0.012 inWC. Most applications require a setting in the range
of 0.012 inWC to 0.100 inWC. Atmospheric appliances (Category I) are always in the low range, while all other appliances
can be anywhere.
The %-value indicates the relative setting of the total range of the sensor. (The [inWC] units can be changed to [Pa] in the
menu 512. )
13
Menu 12: EXHAUST OPERATING MODE
The control can operate the fan(s) in either ‘continuous’ or ‘intermittent’ mode. The mode can be changed via the display in
menu 12.
Note! Continuous mode only works if Priority mode is “o” (menu 451)
In ‘continuous’ mode the fan operates continuously. During times when the heating appliance(s) is not operating, the fan
will still operate although at its lowest capacity. Some exhaust will be pulled through the appliance. The chimney is always
primed and there is no real need for pre- and post-purge functions. The energy consumption in this mode is minimal.
In ‘intermittent’ mode the fan only operates if at least one appliance is operating. When no appliance(s) is operating the
fan shuts down. In this mode, pre- and post-purge functions are very important and must be set. This mode oers the lowest energy consumption.
If a heating system operates constantly, or the time between cycles is very short (less than 5-10 minutes), ‘continuous’
mode should be considered. Otherwise, ‘intermittent’ mode should be selected.
There is no need to set this value, if the control is used to control the supply of combustion air.
If used with a damper actuator, set for ‘continuous’ operation.
Menu 13: SET EXHAUST PRE-PURGE
When operating in ‘intermittent’ mode it is important to set the pre-purge. Pre-purge is the period from when there is a
call for heat until the control allows the appliance to start assuming the fan is operating at the proper capacity. The setting
can be anywhere from 0 to 1800 seconds.
There is no need to set this value, if the control is used to control the supply of combustion air.
Menu 14: SET EXHAUST POST-PURGE
When operating in ‘intermittent’ mode it is important to set the post-purge. Post-purge is the period from when the appliance shuts down until the control allows the fan to shut down assuming there are no more products of combustion in the
chimney system. The setting can be anywhere from 0 to 1800 seconds.
There is no need to set this value, if the control is used to control the supply of combustion air.

5.6 Detailed control programming
Menu 362: USB logging
The EBC24 can be set to log on a USB-momory stick if the menu 362 is set to “USB” If this is done, two les will be created:
one with the alarm log and one with the values of the XTP sensors and 0-10V. The les are .CSV les.
The output format is:
[Unix time], [Exhaust XTP 0-1024], [Intake XTP 0-1024], [Exhaust VFD 0-1024], [Intake VFD 0-1024], [Damper Out 0-1024],
[MODS XTP 0-1024]. The value between 0-1024 is a fraction of 10V, meaning that a value of 423 equals 4.13 V.
Menu 365: Firmware upgrade
The EBC24 can be rmware upgraded using a USB-memory stick. Insert the USB-memory stick with the rmware in the
USB connector on the front of the control. Go to the 365 menu, and select the correct le to be programmed. Press the
abutton to start the update. The update takes approx. two minutes.
Note! If the programming fails, power o the control. Press the x button and power up the control again. Doing this will
reupload the latest working rmware.
