Electronic superheat controller, type EKC 312

Function

Parameter Parameter by operation via data communication

Refrigerant setting

Before refrigeration can be started, the refrigerant must be defined. 

You can select the following refrigerants:

1=R12.  2=R22.  3=R134a.  4=R502.  5=R717.  6=R13.  7=R13b1.  

8=R23.  9=R500.  10=R503.  11=R114.  12=R142b. 13=User defined. 

14=R32. 15=R227.  16=R401A.  17=R507. 18=R402A.  19=R404A. 

20=R407C.  21=R407A.  22=R407B.  23=R410A.  24=R170.  25=R290.  

26=R600.  27=R600a.  28=R744.  29=R1270.  

(Warning: Wrong selection of refrigerant may cause damage to the 

compressor).

Service

Service

A number of controller values can be printed for use in a service 

situation.
Read status of input DI (start/stop input).

u10

DI

Read the temperature at the S2 sensor.

u20

S2 temp.

Read superheat.

u21

SH

Read the control’s actual superheat reference.

u22

SH ref.

Read the valve’s opening degree.

u24

OD%

Read evaporating pressure.

u25

Evap. pres. Pe

Read evaporating temperature.

u26

Evap.Press.Te

Read the temperature at the S4 sensor.

u27

S4 temp.

Read value of current signal from pressure transmitter (AIB).

u29

AI B mA

DO1 Alarm
Read status of alarm relay

For Danfoss only
Start-up time for safety signal

If the controller does not obtain a reliable signal within this period 

of time the con-troller will in other ways try to establish a stable 

signal. (A too high value may result in a flooded eaporator).

The value should only be changed by specially trained staff.

n15

StartUp time

Signal safety during start-up

The control function uses the value as start value for the valve’s 

opening degree at each thermostat cutin. By adaptive control the 

controller continuously calculates a new value.

The value should only be changed by specially trained staff.

n17

Start OD%

Operating status

The controller’s operating status can be called forth by a brief (1s) 

activation of the upper button. If a status code exists it will be 

shown. (Status codes have lower priority than alarm codes. This 

means that status codes cannot be seen if there is an active alarm 

code. The  status code have the following meaning:

EKC State 
(0 = regulation)

S10: Refrigeration stopped by the internal or external start/ stop.

10

S26: No refrigerant selected.
