Before you start Save energy - save money - improve your comfort temperature The ECL Comfort controller is designed by Danfoss for the automatic temperature control of heating sys tems. The advantages of the ECL Comfort controller system are the security of your heating control and the op ti mum use of energy resources.
Operating the controller Setting the clock Clock (optional) A clock can be mounted when an automatic change between comfort temperature and reduced temperature is desired. Setting the clock Turn the minute hand to set the actual week day (7-day clock) and time.
Controller mode What do the symbols mean? Manual operation. Used only at maintenance and service. Note! The system protection against frost is switched off when this mode is selected. Constant comfort temperature. The day plan is not in operation. Used when ex tend ed pe ri ods of comfort temperature are desired, i.e.
Temperature setting Temperature setting without room sensor (parallel displacement of the heat curve) If you have no room sensor installed, your system will not know the exact room temperature. Therefore you can only use the temperature setting button to change the fl ow temperature.
Temperature reduction The knob (potentiometer) for the temperature reduction can be set in the positions of (standby), 1 - 14 or AUTO: Heating system on standby The heating system is stopped, but still protected against frost. 1 - 14 Fixed temperature reduction Without room sensor: The fl...
Setting the heat curve ˚C The heat curve shows the relation between the outdoor ˚C tem per a ture and the fl ow temperature of the heating circuit. You can set the heating curve slope in the range from 0.2 to 2.2. The slope is factory set to 1.2.
Controller settings on the rear side To make the controller ready for operation, you must Switch 1: Heating cut-out adjust the controller settings on the rear side. Switch 1 Cut-out temperature Your setting Mini switches 1 to 8: No cut-out 18 ºC The heating cut-out function helps you save energy.

When testing sensors and controller, the con trol status and faults are shown. Control status At normal operation with the function switch in the positions the indicator lights.
✐ Check list Is the ECL Comfort controller ready for use? Check that all sensors are connected to the correct ter mi nals. See page 28: Electrical connections - sensor Make sure that the power supply is wired correctly to the terminals 1 (Live) and 2 (Neutral). Mount the controller, switch on the power.
Communication The ECL Comfort controller can be connected to external units via the ECL Comfort BUS. Master / slave systems If the controller is part of a larger system with several controllers, you can connect the controllers with each other and send information to them using the same outdoor sensor.
To ensure power back-up there is a battery placed above the clock. Normally this battery is not in operation. However Danfoss recommends to replace it every 2 years. Use an Alcaline AAA 1.5 V type. Remove the battery holder and replace the battery.
