ERC 213
DKRCE.PD.RL0.A3.02 | 1
Overview
The ERC 213 is designed to be an easy, universal replacement control. We encourage users to employ one of five predefined applications that meet the
needs of most systems. If users need to modify specific parameters, it should be done after installing the predefined application that most closely meets
system needs.
For more information, including detailed instructions, error codes, parameters, and more,
visit www.danfoss.com/erc or download the Koolcode app from iTunes or Google Play.
