Operation via data communication

EITHER EKA 164A OR System unit + software.

It is important that the installation of the data communication 

cable be done correctly.  

Cf. separate literature No. RC8AC...

Switch function for start/stop of regulation. 

 

Note:

If a switch is not connected, terminals 20 and 21 must be short 

circuited.

Application-dependent connections

Superheat control

14-15

Pt 1000 sensor at evaporator outlet (S2)

15-16

Pt 1000 sensor for measuring air temperature (S4)

17-19

Pressure transmitter type AKS 32R 

 

Note:

The signal can 

not

 be shared with other controllers

Control of the valves opening degree with analog signal

21-22

Current signal or voltage signal from other regulation 

(Ext. Ref.) 

24-26  Alarm relay

There is connection between 24 and 26 in alarm situa tions.

Connections

Connection to earth will destroy the controller

 1,2  

3,4    21,22

Class II

  

Warning

Any external connection with grounding could create a ground 

loop through a diode in the rectifier bridge which could destroy 

the power supply in EKD 316.
