ECL-VAV-N and ECL-103 Controllers
Product Description
This document describes the hardware installation procedures for the ECL-VAV-N and ECL-103 controllers.
The Distech Controls Variable Air Volume (VAV) product line is designed to control and monitor various types of HVAC equipment such as baseboards,
single and multi-stage duct heaters, fans, valves, lights, etc. When connected to a Wireless Receiver, this product line can be used with a variety of wire-
less battery-less sensors and switches.
Each controller uses the L

For more information on the specific layout and functionality of each controller, please refer to their individual datasheets.
General Installation Requirements
For proper installation and subsequent operation of the device, pay special attention to the following recommendations:
£
It is recommended that the controller(s) be kept at room temperature for at least 24 hours before installation to allow any condensation that may
have accumulated due to low temperature during shipping/storage to evaporate.
£
Upon unpacking, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damages. Do not install a damaged device.
£
The device is designed to operate under environmental conditions that are specified in its datasheet.
£
Ensure proper ventilation of the device and avoid areas where corroding, deteriorating or explosive vapors, fumes or gases may be present.
£
Record the 12-character Neuron
£
Allow for proper clearance around the device's enclosure and wiring terminals to provide easy access for hardware configuration and maintenance.
£
When installing in an enclosure, select one that provides sufficient surface area to dissipate any heat generated by the device and by any other de-
vices installed in the enclosure. A metal enclosure is preferred. If necessary, provide active cooling for the enclosure.
£
The device's datasheet specifies the power consumption (amount of heat generated), the operating temperature range, and other environmental
conditions the device is designed to operate under.
£
Ensure that all equipment is installed according to local, regional, and national regulations.
£
Do not drop the device or subject it to physical shock.
£
If the device is used and/or installed in a manner not specified by Distech Controls, the functionality and the protection provided by the device may
be impaired.
Any type of modification to any Distech Controls product will void the product's warranty
Before installation of the Wireless Receiver, verify that local communication regulations allow the installation of wireless devices and
available frequencies to be supported in your area. Refer to the Open-to-Wireless™ Application Guide for more information.
Take reasonable precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge to the device when installing, servicing or during operation. Discharge
accumulated static electricity by touching one's hand to a well-grounded object before working with the device.

It can ORKS be downloaded from the Distech Controls’ Documentation and Resources Portal. It is recommended to wire only one controller per 24VAC transformer. When calculating a controller’s power consumption to size the 24VAC transformer, you must also add the external loads the controller is going to supply, including the power consumption of any connected subnet module (for example, Allure™... - Page 4 Daisy-chaining controllers is not permitted when a controller’s expected power consumption including external loads is over 15VA. In this case the con- troller must be connected to the 24VAC transformer in a star topology. The transformer must be installed in close proximity to the controller according to the cable gauge and total load.

Directive applies to standalone products, for example, products that can function entirely on their own and are not a part of another system or piece of equipment. For this reason Distech Controls products are exempt from the WEEE Directive. Nevertheless, Distech Controls products are marked with the WEEE symbol , indicating devices are not to be thrown away in municipal waste. - Page 10 Check that the total wire length does not exceed the specifications of the Junction Box and Wiring Guideline for Twisted Pair Network length Networks.
