Manual 

Electronic superheat controller, type EKC 312

Function

Parameter Parameter by operation via data communication

Normal display

Normally the superheat is shown (but the valve’s opening degree or 

air temperature may also be selected. See o17.

SH / OD% / S4 temp

Reference

Thermostat control

Unit

Here you select whether the controller is to indicate the 

temperature values in °C or in °F.

And pressure values in  bar or psig.

If  indication in °F is selected, other temperature settings will also 

change over to Fahrenheit, either as absolute values or as delta 

values.

The combination of temperature unit and pressure unit is depicted 

to the right.

r05

Units (Menu=Misc.)
0: °C + bar
1: °F + psig
(in AKM only °C + bar – is displayed – whatever the 
setting)

Start/stop of refrigeration

With this setting refrigeration can be started and stopped. 

Start/stop of refrigeration can also be accomplished with the 

external switch function. See also appendix 1.

r12

Main Switch

Alarm

Alarm setting

The controller can give alarm in different situations. When there 

is an alarm all the light-emitting diodes (LED) will flash on the 

controller front panel, and the alarm relay will cut in.

Control parameters

Injection control

P: Amplification factor Kp

If the Kp value is reduced the regulation becomes slower.

n04

Kp factor

I: Integration time Tn

If the Tn value is increased the regulation becomes slower.

n05

Tn sec.

Max. value for the superheat reference

n09

Max SH

Min. value for the superheat reference

Warning! Due to the risk of liquid flow the setting should not be 

lower than approx. 2-4 K.

n10

Min SH

MOP

If no MOP function is required, select pos. Off.

n11

MOP (bar)
(A value of 20 corresponds to Off )

Amplification factor for the superheat

This setting determines the valve’s opening degree as a function of 

the change in evaporating pressure. An increase of the evaporating 

pressure will result in a reduced opening degree. When there is a 

drop-out on the low-pressure thermostat during start-up the value 

must be raised a bit. If there is pendling during start-up the value 

must be reduced a little.

The value should only be changed by specially trained staff.

n20

Kp T0 

Value of min. superheat reference for loads under 10%

(The value must be smaller than ”n10”).

n22

SH Close

The parameters ”n37” and ”n38” are settings for step motor ETS 100. 

The settings must be changed when another valve is used.

Number of steps from 0% to 100% open

n37

Max. steps (0 - 5000 step)

Spindle stroke speed (number of steps per second)

n38

Steps / sec (10 - 300 step/sec)

Integration time for the inner loop gain

Used only when o56=2.

The value should only be changed by specially trained staff.

n44
