Installation
The EKC 316A is normally mounted on a DIN rail, and the neces-
sary connections are shown in the diagram. If the sensor S3 is not
used to measure air temperature in connection with thermostat
function or as part of the controlling loop, then it is not necessary
to connect the S3 sensor. The 18Volt battery input at terminals 5
and 6 is not required if battery back-up is not needed.
Data communication
< --------------- max. 5 m --------------->
Communication to controller is an option and can only be
achieved by inserting the data communication module EKA 174 or
EKA 175 in the EKC 316A controller.
EKA 174/175
