5. Cooperation with regulators

Check regulator software version before connecting a ecoNET300 module with the regulator. In the regulator main menu select tab: MENU Information Software version User can contact with the regulator manufacture in order to verify whether a particular type of regulator will be cooperating with ecoNET300 according to data concerning regulator software versions.

6. Connection to the regulator

The ecoNET300 internet module has to be connected with regulator with the use of ecoLINK2 interface. In case of some types of regulators it is necessary to use an appropriate adapter. The ecoLINK2 interface and adapter are a part of the ecoNET300 set.
Adapter: 1 - socket for RJ11 ecoLINK2 interface, 2
- a plug for regulator module transmission socket, 3 - socket for a control panel plug.
6.1 Connection with ecoMAX800
series
This chapter applies to ecoMAX800 P1, P2, R2, T2, D1, D2 regulators. It is not applicable to ecoMAX800R1 and ecoMAX800T1. In case of ecoMAX800 series, a EL2adapter or El2adapter v2 must be used in order to connect ecoLINK2.
6.2 Connection with ecoMAX850
series
The ecoMAX850P1 or ecoMAX850D1 regulator modules are equipped with an additional COM transmission socket to connect RJ11 plug of ecoLINK2 interface without using any adapters. Just unscrew the regulator housing and put the plug into a COM socket.
In order to connect the ecoNET300 module with the regulator, ecoLINK2 interface is required which is a part of the set.
The internet module will cooperate only with regulators with installed software supporting ecoNET300 module.

Connection with ecoMAX850P1, D1: 1 – COM socket (place of plugging a RJ11 interface plug), 2 – a socket with connected plug of the control panel, 3 –regulator housing cover (possible place where a control panel can be assembled).
Modules of ecoMAX850P2 controllers are equipped with just one COM transmission socket in RJ11 standard which a control panel (located inside or outside the controller housing) is connected to. Using one RJ11 socket in the module requires connecting an additional divider (telephone RJ11 tee separator) and additional cable.
Standard divider, RJ11 telephone divider: 1­connection of RJ11 ecoLINK2 interface plug, 2­connection of the control panel plug, 3­connection of an additional cable with two RJ11 terminals.
Standard RJ11 telephone cable with an option of connecting wires and a method of connecting into the divider.
Below show location of the regulator COM transmission socket, where: interface ecoLINK2,on diagram includes: COM transmission socket (connection point between cable and divider), divider, control panel, additional ecoSTER TOUCH control panel (in ecoMAX850I version) and ecoSTER200, additional cable to a divider.
6.3 Connection with ecoMAX860
series
In case of ecoMAX860P1, P2, P3 series, a El2adapter v2 must be used in order to connect ecoLINK2 interface. P1 version:
P2 version:

P3 version:
6.4 Connection with ecoMAX910/920
series
In case of ecoMAX910, 920 series, the ecoLINK2 interface must be connected directly to the regulator's RJ11 socket.

6.5 Connection with ecoSOL

In case of ecoSOL301, 400, 500 series, the ecoLINK2 interface must be connected directly to the regulator's RJ11 socket.
6.6 Connection with ecoTRONIC
series
