References ................15 Installation Data communication The EKC 316A is normally mounted on a DIN rail, and the neces- sary connections are shown in the diagram. If the sensor S3 is not used to measure air temperature in connection with thermostat function or as part of the controlling loop, then it is not necessary to connect the S3 sensor. -

The maximum length of cable between EKC 316A and the ETS To ETS Valve Filter valve is five meters. If cable lengths are in excess of this value then it is recommended to use an inductive filter. AKS 33 Pressure transmitter connected to two EKC 316A... -
Page 4: Settings And Checks To Be Made Before Start
Setting and checks to be made before start Basic Settings Before using the EKC 316A controller, there are settings that have to be made for each individual application. These are the refrigerant type, the pressure transducer range and the total number of steps for the ETS valve. - Page 5 2=Compensation takes place when the valve closes These parameters should not be changed and the reason the parameters are accessible is only historical, and at some point will be withdrawn from the menu.

The setting parameters are called Start OD% (n17) and StartUp time (n15), and are found in the For Danfoss only menu in AKM and also in the EKC 316A controller. Please observe that the Start OD% is a minimum value after start... -
Page 8: Types Of Regulation
Types of regulation Single Loop (address o56 Reg.type = 1) The EKC 316A has the traditional PI controlling function with the Kp factor for Proportional Gain and Tn for Integration Time in se- conds. This also is known as the Single loop control with only one PI block as shown in the diagram below. - Page 9 Tn sec KpT0 TnT0 sec If the superheat is unstable, the KpT0 parameter should be slightly reduced. The value parameter Kp factor is not large so little is gain by reducing this parameter. EKC 316A Reference manual RS8ED102 © Danfoss 03-2006...
- Page 10 From the experience of using single loop and double regulation, the following recommendations are given for the applications that EKC 316A has been used in. These are only recommendations and the final choice is made by the end user. Application Reg.
