• duct pressure in dryer venting systems • duct pressure in ventilation systems. The EBC30 can simultaneously control an exhaust fan, an intake fan or a draft damper. Any two of these can be controlled simultaneously or they can be controlled individually.
1.4 EBC30 control components The EBC30 control is built up around a main board that controls all basic functions. In addition, a Triac board and a relay board, are available for special functions. The main board controls draft/exhaust and air supply/ intake functions. It can provide 0-10 V DC signals for Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), an actuator or other devices accepting a 0-10 V DC control signal.

EBC30 3002180 100315 3. Mechanical installation 3.1 Location The control and the transducer must be installed inside, preferably in the mechanical room (boiler room). The control does not need to be installed in an enclosure. Fig. 3 shows how the components are connected.
EBC30 3002180 100315 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 this instruction may result in an inoperable system. An Ashcroft XTP-sensor used for sensing draft should be mounted within six (6) feet of the stack probe.
EBC30 3002180 100315 3.5 Installation of outdoor pressure probe (if applicable) The outdoor pressure probe should be mounted in a location as free as possible from rooftop obstructions. The choice of location should also consider routing of silicone tubing into the building to minimize tubing run on the roof.
NOTE EBC30 is designed for 1 x 120 V AC power supply only. Fan output is regulating on the neutral side and can- not be connected to other circuits. The terminals are connected as shown (for additional information go to chapter 5.1):...
EBC30 3002180 100315 4.2 Relay board connections If the optional Relay Board is used, the control can handle up to 10 appliances. Connect the multi plug from the add-on board to the main board as show below in Fig. 10.
The Ashcroft XTP sensor is wired as shown below. The wiring to the Ashcroft XTP sensor is always the same, while the wir- ing on the EBC30 control depends on whether it is to be wired for exhaust or intake operation:...
0-10 V DC signal back to the XTP1 (exhaust) or XTP2 (intake) terminals. The current pressure reading is displayed on the EBC30. It displays INT or EXH then the pressure reading or both if the application is Intake and Exhaust.
Continuous operation For continuous operation, Dip Switch 1 & 2 on the back of the display card on the EBC30 door must be in the up/on posi- tion. AUX INPUT connections are not used since the Control always attempts to maintain the pressure set point regardless of appliance status.
EBC30 3002180 100315 5.4 Initiation of control When power is supplied to the control it will go through a start-up procedure to detect and check all components and ap- pliances installed. During this procedure the display will show the following: SOFTWARE VERSION 2.12...

EBC30 3002180 100315 Q2 EXHAUST OPERATING MODE The control can operate the fan(s) in either ‘continuous’ or ‘intermittent’ mode. The mode can be changed via the display. The display only shows the chosen mode. The mode can be overridden by the dip switches inside the cover on the print board.
To access the Quick-Menu, press the PROG key for 3 seconds. The figure on page 16 shows the sequence of programming. 5.6 Detailed control programming The EBC30 control has a detailed sub-menu for individual parameter settings. See page 19 for more details on parameters and programming.

EBC30 3002180 100315 6. Maintenance and troubleshooting Most terminal connections are monitored for proper operation. LED lights indicate operating status. If a light is lit, it indi- cates everything is functioning properly while a light out indicates a problem on the circuit it monitors. In addition, fault codes are shown on the display.
