1.3.1  

The Control Box Assembly 

The front panel on the Control Box contains the following components:  

 

Temperature Controller:

 This device 

is the “brain” of the ECS II, processing data 

received from the temperature sensors. Using feed forward and PID (Proportional 
Integral Derivative) algorithms, the Temperature Controller provides a 4 to 20 mA control 
signal to the Control Valve Actuator, which precisely modulates the Control Valve for 
optimum DHW outlet temperature control. The upper display on the front panel of the 
Temperature Controller displays the current DHW outlet temperature. The lower display 
continuously displays the DHW setpoint temperature currently stored in the Temperature 
Controller. 

 

 

Figure 1.2.1.  Temperature Controller

 

 

Over-Temperature Indicator/Switch:

 This device constantly monitors and displays the 

unit’s outlet temperature to ensure it does not exceed the preset high temperature limit. 
The over-temperature limit is factory-set 20°F above the unit

’s setpoint temperature 

specified on the sales order. If an over-temperature condition occurs, this device sounds 
an audible alarm and cuts off power to the Control Valve Actuator thereby closing the 
Control Valve and shutting off the boiler water flow to the unit.  

The Boiler Water inlet temperatures is sensed on the surface of the inlet pipe and is provided for 
informational and troubleshooting purposes only.  

The Control Box components are housed in a steel enclosure 

mounted on the top of the unit’s 

base. All sensor and control signal connections are made via cable connections at the right side 
of the Control Box. External AC power (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 220 VAC 50 Hz or 220V, 60 Hz) is 
supplied via the cutout on the right-side of the Control Box. 

 

1.3.2  

Flow Meter 

A Flow Meter is installed on the domestic cold-water inlet. It senses inlet flow into the unit and 
provides a signal to the temperature controller. The Controller uses this signal to calculate the 
amount of heat input required from the boiler loop.
