4.3  ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM 

The SmartPlate EV Electronic Control System (ECS II) is preset at the setpoint temperature 
specified on the Sales Order. The over-temperature alarm limit is normally set 20°F above the 
specified setpoint. If no setpoint or over-temperature alarm limit is specified, the ECS II will be 
set to the Factory Default setpoint value of 

140°F

, and the over-temperature alarm limit

 

set to

 

160°F

.  

If changes are required, the setpoint and over-temperature alarm limits can be easily changed. 
This is accomplished using the controls provided on the Temperature Controller and the Over-
Temperature switch contained in the Control Box, shown in Figure 4.3. To access these controls 
and adjust the setpoint or over-temperature alarm limit, open the hinged Control Box door. 
Proceed as indicated in sections 4.3.1 or 4.3.2 to adjust the required parameters: 

 

Figure 4.3.  Control Box 

– Front View 

NOTE: 

When  the  Power  switch  is  set  to  the 

ON

  position,  the  internal  24  VAC  Transformer  in  the 

Control  Box  it  also  energized.  This  in  turn  provides  24  VAC  power  to  the  Control  Valve 
Actuator, provided that the water temperature at the heater outlet is below the high temperature 
limit setting. 

 

4.3.1  

Setpoint Temperature Adjustment 

The setpoint temperature is adjusted using the controls and displays provided on the 
Temperature Controller. These controls and displays are illustrated and described below. If 
necessary, setpoint temperature adjustment is accomplished as follows: 

SETPOINT TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT Instructions 

1.  Set  the  Enable/Disable  switch  on  the  Control  Box  to  the 

ON

  position.  The  Temperature 

Controller will initiate a self-test for approximately 3 seconds.  

2.  Ensure that the Temperature Controller is set to the 

AUTO

 (automatic) mode and the AUTO 

indicator  is  lit.  If  the  MAN  indicator  is  lit,  press  the 

AUTO/MAN

  button  to  toggle  the  mode 

setting. Indicator OP1 should also be lit. 

3.  Press 

the ▲ or ▼ arrow button to change the display to the desired value.
