Before you start Sketch your application The ECL Comfort controller series is designed for a wide range of heating, domestic hot-water (DHW) and cooling systems with different configurations and capacities. If your system differs from the diagrams shown in section 10, you may want to make a sketch of the system about to be installed.
Identifying the system type The ECL Comfort controller is a universal controller that can 10.2 Indirectly connected heating system and DHW be used for various systems. Based on the shown standard circuit according to flow principle systems, it is possible to configure additional systems. In this section you find the most frequently used systems.
Mounting the ECL Comfort controller For easy access, you should mount the ECL Comfort controller near the system. Select one of the three following methods: • Mounting on a wall • Mounting on a DIN rail • Mounting in a panel Screws and rawlplugs are not supplied.

Connecting the room panel / remote control The ECA 60 / 61 / 62 / 63 is activated by the setting in line 10 (section 32). The ECA 60 / 61 / 62 / 63 is powered by the system device bus which means that the bus must be active.
Inserting the ECL Card Understanding the ECL Card The ECL Card contains factory settings for a standard system. If the actual system differs from the standard system, the controller must be adjusted accordingly. After the adjustment, the new settings should be stored on the ECL Card.
Adjusting the ECL Card Setting the time and date - settings line A General principles Actual time When the controller is connected and operating you can check and adjust all or some of the basic settings. Turn the ECL Card so that the grey side is facing you (see the example below).
