Page 7: Functions
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 Functions Temperature sensors One thermostat sensor – Sair – can be connected to the controller, and the relevant application defines the placement. It can be placed in the air flow before the evaporator or in the air flow after the evaporator. The latter is mainly used where there is a risk of too low temperature at the products. -
Page 8: Change Of Temperature Reference
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 This is used to indicate to the user that something is wrong with the condenser. Often the reason is that that the air flow to the condenser is restricted (dirt) or because the condenser fan is broken. The alarm will reset if the condenser temperature drops back by 5 °C. -
Page 9: Digital Inputs
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 Digital inputs There are two digital inputs, DI1 and DI2, with dry contact function. They can be used for the following functions: • Status readout • Door function with stop of cooling and door alarm •... -
Page 10: Coordinated Defrost Via Network
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 Coordinated defrost via network A coordinated defrost among multiple controllers can be obtained via data communication. The controllers will have to be added to a coordinated defrost group in the AK-SM system manager. When a defrost cycle is scheduled the system manager will start a defrost in all controllers. -
Page 11: Applications
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 Applications EKC 223 and 224 are developed for refrigerated plug-in cabinets with one compressor or for remote cabinets controlling the liquid line solenoid valve. 3 sensors can be connected; Sair, S5 (Defrost termination), and Sc (Condenser temperature). -

Page 15: Installation
Your local Danfoss agent will be pleased to assist with further advice, etc. Integration into network systems The EKC 223/224 controllers have a TTL port on the rear side of the controller and this TTL port allows the controller to be connected to various interfaces The RS-485 adapter (EKA 21x) allows to integrate the controller on a Modbus fieldbus. -
Page 16: Installation
Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 Installation The controller must be connected to the RS-485 adapter via an interface cable (080N0327). Remember to fasten the cable plug to the controller via the cable clip, see Figure 14. Please refer to the installation guide for RS-485 adapter (EKA 206) for detailed instruction on how to install the adapter correctly. - Page 17 Case controller, type EKC 223 and EKC 224 Figure 17: Modbus operation Tx (Transmit) Green Yellow Rx (Receive) IMPORTANT: It is important that the installation of the data communication cable is performed correctly with sufficient distance to high voltage cables.

Page 20: Operation
Operation Operation via display EKC 223/224 controllers come with four push buttons, a big display, easy and intuitive menu structure, and pre- defined applications ensure ease of use. The values will be shown with three digits, and with a “r05 Temp. unit” setting you can determine whether the temperature is to be shown in °C or in °F. -
