• The actual flow temperature differs from the desired flow
temperature.
• If a temperature sensor or its connection disconnects / short
circuits. (See: Common controller settings > System > Raw
input overview).

Modbus communication to a SCADA system can be established.

Up to two Remote Control Units, ECA 30 / 31 can be connected to

one ECL controller in order to control the ECL controller remotely.

Additional ECL Comfort controllers can be connected via the ECL

485 bus in order to utilize common outdoor temperature signal,
time and date signals.
The ECL controllers in the ECL 485 system can work in master -
slave system.

Unused inputs can, by means of an override switch or relay contact,

be used for overriding the schedule to a fixed 'Comfort', 'Saving',
'Frost protection' or 'Constant temperature' mode.

Circuit 1 can act as master and the remaining circuits can act as
slaves.

Holiday programs are present for Heating and DHW circuits.

Besides, a holiday program is present for the entire controller.

When the A376 has been uploaded with the subtypes A376.1,
A376.2, A376.3 and A376.4, the ECL Comfort controller starts
in Manual mode. This can be used for checking the controlled
components for correct functionality.
The subtypes A376.9 and A376.10 start, after upload, in Scheduled

2.2 Identifying the system type

Sketch your application
The ECL Comfort controller series is designed for a wide range
of heating, domestic hot-water (DHW) and cooling systems with
different configurations and capacities. If your system differs
from the diagrams shown here, you may want to make a sketch
of the system about to be installed. This makes it easier to use
the Installation Guide, which will guide you step-by-step from
installation to final adjustments before the end-user takes over.

The ECL Comfort controller is a universal controller that can be

used for various systems. Based on the shown standard systems,
it is possible to configure additional systems. In this chapter you
find the most frequently used systems. If your system is not quite
as shown below, find the diagram which has the best resemblance
with your system and make your own combinations.

See the Mounting Guide (delivered with the application key) for
application types / sub-types.

The circulation pump(s) in heating circuit(s) can be placed in the flow

as well as the return. Place the pump according to the manufacturer’s
specification.

Advices for settings:

When circuit 1 must be able to receive a heat demand from circuit
2, circuit 3 or a slave:
MENU \ Settings \ Application: 'Demand offset' (ID 11017): 3 K*

When a heating or DHW circuit must be able to send its heat

demand to circuit 1 or the master:
MENU \ Settings \ Application: 'Send desired T' (ID 1x500): ON

When a heating or DHW circuit should not send its heat demand
to circuit 1 or the master:
MENU \ Settings \ Application: 'Send desired T' (ID 1x500): OFF

* This recommended value is added to the heat demand value from

circuit 2, circuit 3 or the slave; always the highest demand.

be securely locked into the base. For this purpose, press the locking
pin into the base until a click is heard and the controller no longer
can be removed from the base.

If the controller is not securely locked into the base part, there is a risk
that the controller during operation can unlock from the base and the
base with terminals (and also the 230 V a.c. connections) are exposed.
To prevent injuries to persons, always make sure that the controller
is securely locked into its base. If this is not the case, the controller
should not be operated!

The easy way to lock the controller to its base or unlock it is to use a
screw driver as lever.

2.4 Placing the temperature sensors

2.4.1 Placing the temperature sensors

It is important that the sensors are mounted in the correct position

in your system.

The temperature sensor mentioned below are sensors used for

the ECL Comfort 210 and 310 series which not all will be needed
for your application!

Outdoor temperature sensor (ESMT)

The outdoor sensor should be mounted on that side of the building
where it is less likely to be exposed to direct sunshine. It should not
be placed close to doors, windows or air outlets.
Flow temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)
Place the sensor max. 15 cm from the mixing point. In systems
with heat exchanger, Danfoss recommends that the ESMU-type to
be inserted into the exchanger flow outlet.

Make sure that the surface of the pipe is clean and even where
the sensor is mounted.
Return temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)
The return temperature sensor should always be placed so that it
measures a representative return temperature.

Room temperature sensor

(ESM-10, ECA 30 / 31 Remote Control Unit)

Place the room sensor in the room where the temperature is to be

controlled. Do not place it on outside walls or close to radiators,
windows or doors.

Boiler temperature sensor (ESMU, ESM-11 or ESMC)

Place the sensor according to the boiler manufacturer’s
specification.
ESM-11: Do not move the sensor after it has been fastened in order to
Air duct temperature sensor (ESMB-12 or ESMU types) avoid damage to the sensor element.
Place the sensor so that it measures a representative temperature.

DHW temperature sensor (ESMU or ESMB-12)

Place the DHW temperature sensor according to the manufacturer’s
specification.
ESM-11, ESMC and ESMB-12: Use heat conducting paste for quick
measurement of the temperature.
Slab temperature sensor (ESMB-12)
Place the sensor in a protection tube in the slab.

ESMU and ESMB-12: Using a sensor pocket to protect the sensor will,
however, result in a slower temperature measurement.

2.6.2 ECL Application Key, copying data

General principles
When the controller is connected and operating, you can check
and adjust all or some of the basic settings. The new settings can
be stored on the Key. Factory settings can always be restored.

How to update the ECL Application Key after settings have

been changed?
All new settings can be stored on the ECL Application Key.

How to store factory setting in the controller from the Make a note of new settings in the 'Settings overview' table.
Application Key?
Please read the paragraph concerning Application Key, Situation
1: The controller is new from the factory, the ECL Application Key
is not inserted.
Do not remove the ECL Application Key while copying. The data on
How to store personal settings from the controller to the Key? the ECL Application Key can be damaged!
Please read the paragraph concerning Application Key, Situation 3:
A copy of the controllers settings is needed for configuring another
controller

As a main rule, the ECL Application Key should always remain in

the controller. If the Key is removed, it is not possible to change It is possible to copy settings from one ECL Comfort controller to
settings. another controller provided that the two controllers are from the same
series (210 or 310).

The “Key overview” does not inform — through ECA 30 / 31 — about

the subtypes of the application key.

Key inserted / not inserted, description:

ECL Comfort 210 / 310, controller versions lower than 1.36:

- Take out the application key; for 20 minutes
settings can be changed.
- Power up the controller without the
application key inserted; for 20 minutes
settings can be changed.

ECL Comfort 210 / 310, controller versions 1.36 and up:

- Take out the application key; for 20 minutes
settings can be changed.
- Power up the controller without the
application key inserted; settings cannot be
changed.

2.7 Check list

Is the ECL Comfort controller ready for use?

Make sure that the correct power supply is connected to terminals 9 and 10 (230 V or 24 V).

Make sure the correct phase conditions are connected:

230 V: Live = terminal 9 and Neutral = terminal 10
24 V: SP = terminal 9 and SN = terminal 10

Check that the required controlled components (actuator, pump etc.) are connected to the correct terminals.

Check that all sensors / signals are connected to the correct terminals (see 'Electrical connections').

Mount the controller and switch on the power.

Is the ECL Application Key inserted (see 'Inserting the Application Key').

Does the ECL Comfort controller contain an existing application (see 'Inserting the Application Key').

Is the correct language chosen (see 'Language' in 'Common controller settings').

Is the time & date set correctly (see 'Time & Date' in 'Common controller settings').

Is the right application chosen (see 'Identifying the system type').

Check that all settings in the controller (see 'Settings overview') are set or that the factory settings comply with your
requirements.
Choose manual operation (see 'Manual control'). Check that valves open and close, and that required controlled
components (pump etc.) start and stop when operated manually.

Check that the temperatures / signals shown in the display match the actual connected components.

Having completed the manual operation check, choose controller mode (scheduled, comfort, saving or frost protection).

3.4 Monitoring temperatures and system components

This section describes the function in general for the ECL Comfort
210 / 310 series. The shown displays are typical and not application
related. They might differ from the displays in your application.

Heating circuit

The overview display in the heating circuit ensures a quick

overview of the actual and (desired) temperatures as well as the
actual state of the system components.

Display example:

49 °C Flow temperature
(31) Desired flow temperature
24 °C Return temperature
(50) Return temperature limitation

DHW circuit Display example with heat exchanger:

The overview display in the DHW circuit ensures a quick overview

of the actual and (desired) temperatures as well as the actual state
of the system components.

Display example (heat exchanger):

50 °C Flow temperature
(50) Desired flow temperature
-- Return temperature: sensor not connected
(30) Return temperature limitation

Input overview

Another option to get a quick overview of measured temperatures

is the 'Input overview' which is visible in the common controller
settings (how to enter the common controller settings, see
‘Introduction to common controller settings’.)

As this overview (see display example) only states the measured

actual temperatures, it is read-only.

Installation Guide ECL Comfort 310, application A376

3.5 Influence overview

This section describes the function in general for the ECL Comfort
210 / 310 series. The shown displays are typical and not application
related. They might differ from the displays in your application.

The menu gives an overview of the influences on the desired

flow temperature. It differs from application to application which Example of overview display with Influence indication:
parameters are listed. It can be helpful in a service situation to
explain unexpected conditions or temperatures among others.

If the desired flow temperature is influenced (corrected) by one or

more parameters, it is indicated by a small line with arrow-down,
arrow-up or double-arrow:

Arrow-down:
The parameter in question reduces the desired flow temperature.

Arrow-up:
The parameter in question increases the desired flow temperature.

Double-arrow:
The parameter in question creates an override (e.g. Holiday).

Straight line:
No active influence.

In the example, the arrow in the symbol points downwards for

'Room lim.'. This means that the actual room temperature is
higher than the desired room temperature which again results in a
decrease of the desired flow temperature.

5.0 Settings

5.1 Introduction to Settings

Descriptions of settings (parameter's functions) are divided into
groups as used in the ECL Comfort 210 / 310 controller's menu
structure. Examples: "Flow temperature", "Room limit" and so on.
Each group starts with a general explanation.

The descriptions of each parameter are in numeric order, related to

the parameter's ID numbers. You might come across differences
between the order in this Installation Guide and the ECL Comfort
210 / 310 controllers.
You might also come across navigation hints which are not present
in your application.

The note "See Appendix …" refers to the Appendix at the end
of this Installation Guide, where parameter's setting ranges and
factory settings are listed.

The navigation hints (for example MENU > Settings > Return limit
… ) cover multiple subtypes.

Some parameter descriptions refer to Duct or Flow or Inlet

temperature because the parameters in question are used in other
applications too.

The heat curve can be changed in two ways:

1. The value of the slope is changed (see heat curve examples Coordinate changes
on next page)
2. The coordinates of the heat curve are changed

Change the value of the slope:

Push the dial to enter / change the slope value of the heat curve
(example: 1.0).

When the slope of the heat curve is changed by means of the slope
value, the common point for all heat curves will be a desired flow
temperature = 24.6 °C at an outdoor temperature = 20 °C

Change the coordinates:

Push the dial to enter / change the coordinates of the heat curve The calculated flow temperature can be influenced by the ‘Boost’ and
(example: -30,75). ‘Ramp’ functions etc.

The heat curve represents the desired flow temperatures at

different outdoor temperatures and at a desired room temperature Example:
of 20 °C.
Heat curve: 1.0
Desired flow temp.: 50 °C
If the desired room temperature is changed, the desired flow
Desired room temp.: 22 °C
temperature also changes:
Calculation (22–20) × 1.0 × 2.5 = 5
(Desired room T - 20) × HC × 2.5
Result:
where "HC" is the Heat Curve slope and "2.5" is a constant.
The desired flow temperature will be corrected from 50 °C to 55 °C.

5.3 Room limit

The following section is a general description for Duct temperature
limitation and Room temperature limitation.
The actual application might not have both limitation types.

This section is only relevant if you have installed a duct / room

temperature sensor or a Remote Control Unit for utilizing the room
temperature signal.

In the following description is referred to "flow temperature" in

general. This can be air duct or inlet temperature too.

The controller adjusts the desired flow temperature to compensate

for the difference between the desired and the actual duct / room
temperature.

If the duct / room temperature is higher than the desired value, the
desired flow temperature can be reduced.

The 'Infl. -max.' (Influence, max. duct / room temp.) determines

how much the desired flow temperature should be reduced.

Use this influence type to avoid a too high duct / room temperature.
The controller will allow for free heat gains, i.e. solar radiation or
heat from a fire place etc.

If the duct / room temperature is lower than the desired value, the
desired flow temperature can be increased.

The 'Infl. -min.' (Influence, min. duct / room temperature)

determines how much the desired flow temperature should be
increased.

Use this influence type to avoid a too low duct / room temperature.
This could e.g. be caused by windy surroundings.

A typical setting will be -4.0 for 'Infl. -max.' and 4.0 for 'Infl. -min.'

Some parameter descriptions refer to "duct temperature" because

the parameter in question is used in other applications too.

Parameters indicated with an ID no. like "1x607" mean a universal

parameter.
x stands for circuit / parameter group.

5.4 Return limit

The return temperature limitation is based on the outdoor Return temperature limitation
temperature. Typically in district heating systems a higher return
temperature is accepted at a decrease in outdoor temperature. The °C

relationship between the return temperature limits and outdoor

temperature is set in two coordinates.
High limit Y2 60

The outdoor temperature coordinates are set in 'High T out X1'

and 'Low T out X2'. The return temperature coordinates are set in
'High limit Y2' and 'Low limit Y1'.
Low limit Y1 40
The controller automatically changes the desired flow temperature
to obtain an acceptable return temperature when the return Outdoor temp.
-15 15 °C
temperature falls below or gets higher than the calculated limit.
Low T out X2 High T out X1
This limitation is based on a PI regulation where P ('Infl.' factor)
responds quickly to deviations and I ('Adapt. time') responds
slower and over time removes the small offsets between the
desired and actual values. This is done by changing the desired
flow temperature. The calculated limit is shown in brackets ( ) in the monitoring display.
See the section "Monitoring temperatures and system components".

temperature value. ‘Limit’

The controller automatically changes the desired flow temperature ‘Infl. - max.’ > 0

responds quickly to deviations and I ('Adapt. time') responds ‘Infl. - min.’ < 0
slower and over time removes the small offsets between the
desired and actual values. This is done by changing the desired
flow temperature.

If the ‘Infl.’ factor is too high and / or the ‘Adapt. time’ too low, there is

5.7 Control parameters

Control of valves

A376.1, A376.2, A376.4, A376.9, A376.10:

The motorized control valves are controlled by means of 3-point or
"PWM-like" control signals.

A376.3:
The motorized control valves are controlled by means of 0 - 10
volt control signals.

Valve control:
The motorized control valve is opened gradually when the flow
temperature is lower than the desired flow temperature and vice
versa.
The water flow through the control valve is managed by means
of an electric actuator. The combination "actuator" and "control
valve" is also called motorized control valve. The actuator can in
this way gradually increase or decrease the flow in order to change
the supplied energy. Different types of actuators are available.

3-point controlled actuator:

The electric actuator contains a reversible gear-motor. Electric
"open" and "close" signals come from the electronic outputs of the
ECL Comfort controller in order to manage the control valve. The
signals are in the ECL Comfort controller expressed as "Arrow-up"
(open) and "Arrow-down" (close) and displayed at the valve symbol.
When the flow temperature (for example at S3) is lower than the
desired flow temperature, short open-signals come from the ECL
Comfort controller in order to gradually increase the flow. By this,
the flow temperature will align with the desired temperature.
Oppositely, when the flow temperature is higher than the desired
flow temperature, short close-signals come from the ECL Comfort
controller in order to gradually reduce the flow. Again, the flow
temperature aligns with the desired temperature.
Neither open-signals nor close-signals will come as long as the flow
temperature corresponds to the desired temperature.

Danfoss District Energy VI.GU.B2.02 DEN-SMT/DK 85

 Installation Guide ECL Comfort 310, application A376

Thermo-hydraulic actuator, ABV

Danfoss thermo-actuator type ABV is a slow acting valve actuator.

Inside the ABV an electric heat coil will heat a thermostatic element
when an electric signal is applied. When heating the thermostatic
element it expands in order to manage the control valve.

Two basic types are available: ABV NC (Normal Closed) and ABV NO
(normal open). For example, ABV NC keeps a 2-port control valve
closed when no open-signals are applied.

Electric open-signals come from the electronic output of the ECL

Comfort controller in order to manage the control valve. When
open-signals are applied to the ABV NC, the valve gradually opens.

Open-signals are in the ECL Comfort controller expressed as

"Arrow-up" (open) and displayed at the valve symbol.

When the flow temperature (for example at S3) is lower than the
desired flow temperature, relatively long open-signals come from
the ECL Comfort controller in order to increase the flow. By this,
the flow temperature will over time be aligned with the desired
temperature.

Oppositely, when the flow temperature is higher than the desired

flow temperature, relatively short open-signals come from the ECL
Comfort controller in order to reduce the flow. Again, the flow
temperature aligns, over time, with the desired temperature.

The control of the Danfoss thermo-actuator type ABV uses a unique

designed algorithm and is based on the PWM principle (Pulse
Width Modulation), where the duration of the pulse determines
the management of the control valve. The pulses are repeated
each 10 sec.

As long as the flow temperature corresponds to the desired

temperature, the duration of the open-signals will remain constant.

0 - 10 volt controlled actuator:

This actuator type is indicated in the application diagrams with

an "A". This electric actuator contains a reversible gear-motor. A
control voltage between 0 and 10 volt comes from the extension
module ECA 32 in order to manage the control valve. The voltage in
the ECL Comfort controller is expressed as a % value and displayed
at the valve symbol. Example: 45 % corresponds to 4.5 volt. When
the flow temperature (for example at S3) is lower than the desired
flow temperature, the control voltage is gradually increased in
order to gradually increase the flow. By this, the flow temperature
will align with the desired temperature. The control voltage
remains on a constant value as long as the flow temperature
corresponds to the desired temperature. Oppositely, when the
flow temperature is higher than the desired flow temperature, the
control voltage is gradually reduced in order to reduce the flow.
Again, the flow temperature aligns with the desired temperature.

• Set the ‘Tn’ (integration time constant) to its max. value (999 sec.).
• Decrease the value for the ‘Xp’ (proportional band) until the system starts hunting (i.e. gets unstable) with a constant amplitude (it
might be necessary to force the system by setting an extreme low value).

5.9 Heat cut-out

MENU > Settings > Heat cut-out

The setting “Summer cut-out” under “Optimization” for the heating

circuit in question determines a heating cut-out when the outdoor
temperature exceeds the set value.

A filtering constant for calculating the accumulated outdoor

temperature is internally set to a value of "250". This filtering
constant represents an average building with solid outer and inner
walls (bricks).

An option for differentiated cut-out temperatures, based on a

set summer period, can be utilized in order to avoid discomfort
at falling outdoor temperature. Furthermore, separate filtering
constants can be set.

The factory set values for Summer period start and Winter period
start are set to same date: May, 20 (Date = 20, Month = 5).
This means:

• "Differentiated cut-out temperatures" are disabled (not active)

• Separate "Filtering constant" values are disabled (not active)

In order to enable differentiated

• cut-out temperature based on summer / winter period

• filtering constants

the start dates for the periods must be different.

5.9.1 Differentiated heat cut-out

To set differentiated cut-out parameters for a heating circuit for

“Summer” and “Winter” go to “Heat cut-out”:
(MENU > Settings > Heat cut-out)

This function is active when the dates for “Summer” and “Winter”
are different in the “Heat cut-out” menu.

* See Appendix “Parameter ID overview”

The above settings of the dates for the cut-out function are only
to be done in the heating circuit 1 and are valid for other heating
circuits in the controller as well, if applicable.

The cut-out temperatures as well as the filter constant are to be set

individually per heating circuit.

5.9.2 Summer/winter filter constant

The filter constant of 250 is applicable for average buildings. A

filter constant of 1 is close switching according to actual outdoor
temperature meaning low filtering (very “light” building).

A filter constant of 300 is then to be chosen if a big filtering is

needed (very heavy building).

For heating circuits where the heat cut-out is demanded according

to the same outdoor temperature for the whole year, but different
filtering is wanted, different dates have to be set in the “Heat
cut-out” menu enabling a selection of a filter constant different
from the factory setting.
These different values have to be set in both the “Summer” and
“Winter” menu.

flow temperature
2 Disconnection or short-circuiting of a temperature
sensor or its connection
3 Max. flow temperature in heating circuit(s)

4 Activation of alarm input(s) (A376.9, A376.10)
5 Pressure alarm (A376.9, A376.10)

The alarm functions activate the alarm bell symbol.

The alarm functions activate A1:

A1: Application:
Relay 6 A376.1, A376.2, A376.3, A376.4
Relay 4 A376.9, A376.10

The alarm relay can activate a lamp, a horn, an input to an alarm

transmitting device etc.

The alarm symbol / relay is activated:

• (type 1, 3, 4 and 5) as long as the alarm reason is present
(automatic reset)
• (type 2) even if the alarm reason disappears again (manual
reset)

Alarm type 1:
If the flow temperature deviates more than the set differences from
the desired flow temperature, the alarm symbol / relay will be
activated after a set delay.
If the flow temperature becomes acceptable, the alarm symbol /
relay will be de-activated.

Alarm type 2:
Selected temperature sensors can be monitored.
Should the connection to the temperature sensor be disconnected,
short-circuited or the sensor gets defective, the alarm symbol
/ relay will be activated. In the "Raw input overview" (MENU >
Common controller settings > System > Raw input overview) the
sensor in question is marked and the alarm can be reset.

Alarm type 3:
If the flow temperature exceeds the alarm temperature value, the
circulation pump is switched OFF, the control valve closes and the
alarm symbol / relay will be activated. This safety function can, for
example, prevent a too high flow temperature in the floor circuit.
When the flow temperature gets 5 K below the alarm value, the
circulation pump will be switched ON, the control valve will operate
normally and the alarm symbol / relay will be de-activated.

Alarm type 4:
When the alarm input S8 (for circuit 1) or S15 (for circuit 2) or S16
(for circuit 3) is activated, the alarm symbol / relay will be activated
after a set delay.
When the alarm input S8 is de-activated, the alarm symbol / relay
will be de-activated.

Access to settings related to pressure measuring via input S7. Actual
measured pressure is shown. Conversion of input voltage to displayed
pressure.

The pressure is measured by means of a pressure transmitter. The

transmitter sends the measured pressure as a 0-10 V or a 4-20 mA
signal. The voltage signal can be applied directly to the input in
question. A current signal is converted by means of a resistor to a
voltage and then applied to the input. The measured voltage must
be converted to a pressure value by the controller.

The following procedure sets up the conversion:

Push the dial to see the graph. Enter the value sets for the 2 input
voltages (set in "Low X" and "High X") and displayed pressure (in
bar).

Pressure range: 0.0 ... 25.0 bar

Factory settings: 2, 0.0 (= 2 V / 0.0 bar) and 10, 2.3 (= 10 V / 2.3 bar)
This means that the ‘Pressure' is 0.0 bar at 2 V and 2.3 bar at 10 V.)

7.1 ECA 30 / 31 setup procedures

ECA 30 (code no. 087H3200) is a remote control unit with built-in
room temperature sensor.

ECA 31 (code no. 087H3201) is a remote control unit with built-in

room temperature sensor and humidity sensor (relative humidity).

An external room temperature sensor can be connected to both

types to substitute the built-in sensor.
An external room temperature sensor will be recognized at ECA
30 / 31 power-up.

Connections: See the section 'Electrical connections'.

Max. two ECA 30 / 31 can be connected to one ECL controller

or a system (master-slave) consisting of several ECL controllers
connected on the same ECL 485 bus. In the master-slave system
only one of the ECL controllers is master. The ECA 30 / 31 can,
among others, be set to:

• monitor and set the ECL controller remotely

• measure the room temperature and (ECA 31) humidity
• extend comfort / saving period temporarily

After application upload in the ECL Comfort controller, the remote

control unit ECA 30 / 31 will after approx. one minute ask to 'Copy

7.3 Several controllers in the same system

When ECL Comfort controllers are interconnected by means of
the ECL 485 communication bus (cable type: 2 x twisted pair), the
master controller will broadcast the following signals to the slave
controllers:
• Outdoor temperature (measured by S1)
• Time and date
• DHW tank heating / charging activity
Furthermore, the master controller can receive information about:
• the desired flow temperature (demand) from slave controllers
• and (as from ECL controller version 1.48) DHW tank heating /
charging activity in slave controllers

In a system with MASTER / SLAVE controllers, only one MASTER

controller with address 15 is allowed.

7.4 Frequently asked questions

The definitions apply to the Comfort 210 as well as ECL Comfort

310 series. Consequently, you might come across expressions
that are not mentioned in your guide.

The time shown in the display is one hour off?

See ‘Time and Date’.
The time shown in the display is not correct?
The internal clock may have been reset, if there has been a power
break for more than 72 hours.
Go to the 'Common controller settings' and 'Time & Date' to set
the correct time.
The ECL Application Key is lost?
Switch the power off and on again to see the system type and the
software generation of the controller or go to 'Common controller
settings' >'Key functions' > 'Application'. The system type (e.g.
TYPE A266.1) and the system diagram is displayed.
Order a replacement from your Danfoss representative (e.g. ECL
Application Key A266).
Insert the new ECL Application Key and copy your personal
settings from the controller to the new ECL Application Key, if
required.
The room temperature is too low?
Make sure that the radiator thermostat does not limit the room
temperature.
If you still cannot obtain the desired room temperature by
adjusting the radiator thermostats, the flow temperature is too
low. Increase the desired room temperature (display with desired
room temperature). If this does not help, adjust the ‘Heat curve’
(‘Flow temp.’).
The room temperature is too high during saving periods?
Make sure that the min. flow temperature limitation ('Temp. min.')
is not too high.
The temperature is unstable?
Check that the flow temperature sensor is correctly connected
and in the right place. Adjust the control parameters ('Control
par.').
If the controller has a room temperature signal, see 'Room limit'.
The controller does not operate and the control valve is
closed?
Check that the flow temperature sensor is measuring the correct
value, see 'Daily use' or 'Input overview'.
Check the influence from other measured temperatures.
How to make an extra comfort period in the schedule?
You can set an additional comfort period by adding new ‘Start’
and ‘Stop’ times in ‘Schedule’.
How to remove a comfort period in the schedule?
You can remove a comfort period by setting start and stop times
to the same value.
How to restore your personal settings?
Please read the chapter concerning ‘Inserting the ECL Application
Key’.
How to restore the factory settings?
Please read the chapter concerning ‘Inserting the ECL Application
Key’.
Why can’t the settings be changed?
The ECL Application Key has been removed.

Danfoss District Energy VI.GU.B2.02 DEN-SMT/DK 147

 Installation Guide ECL Comfort 310, application A376

Why can’t an application be selected when inserting the ECL

application key into the controller?
The actual application in the ECL Comfort controller must be
deleted before a new application (subtype) can be selected.
How to react on alarms?
An alarm indicates that the system is not operating satisfactorily.
Please contact your installer.
What does P and PI control mean?
P control: Proportional control.
By using a P control, the controller will change the flow
temperature proportional to the difference between a desired
and an actual temperature, e.g. a room temperature.
A P control will always have an offset which not will disappear
over time.

PI control: Proportional and Integrating control.

A PI control does the same as a P control, but the offset will
disappear over time.
A long ‘Tn’ will give a slow but stable control, and a short ‘Tn’ will
result in a fast control but with a higher risk of unstability.
What does the "i" in the upper right corner of the display
mean ?
When uploading an application (subtype) from the application
key into the ECL Comfort controller, the "i" in the upper right
corner indicates that - besides the factory settings - the subtype
also contains special user / systems settings.

10
Technical answer:
In order to save energy, the flow temperature should be as low as -30 -20 -10 0 10 20
possible, but still considering a comfortable room temperature.
This means the heat curve slope should have a low value.

See the heat curve slope diagram.

Choose the desired flow temperature (vertical axis) for your heating
system at the expected lowest outdoor temperature (horizontal axis)
for your area. Pick the heat curve closest to the common point of
these two values.

Example: Desired flow temperature: 60 (°C) at outdoor temperature:

-10 (°C)
Result: Heat curve slope value = 1.2 (mid-way between 1.4 and 1.0).

In general:
• Smaller radiators in your heating system might require a higher
heat curve slope. (Example: Desired flow temperature 70 °C
resulting in heat curve = 1.5).
• Floor heating systems require a lower heat curve slope. (Example:
Desired flow temperature 35 °C resulting in heat curve = 0.4).
• Corrections of the heat curve slope should be done in small steps
when having outdoor temperatures below 0 °C; one step pr. day.
• If required, adjust the heat curve in the six coordinate points.
• Setting of the desired room temperature has an influence on the
desired flow temperature even if a room temperature sensor /
Remote Control Unit is not connected. An example: Increasing the
desired room temperature results in a higher flow temperature.
• Typically, the desired room temperature should be adjusted when
having outdoor temperatures above 0 °C.

is to be controlled.
Alarm function
Based on the alarm settings, the controller can activate an output.
Anti-bacteria function
For a defined period, the DHW temperature is increased in order
to neutralize dangerous bacteria, e.g. Legionella.
Balance temperature
This setpoint is the basis for the flow / air duct temperature. The
balance temperature can be adjusted by the room temperature,
the compensation temperature and the return temperature. The
balance temperature is only active if a room temperature sensor
is connected.

Normally during daytime.
Compensation temperature
A measured temperature influencing the flow temperature
reference / balance temperature.
Desired flow temperature
Temperature calculated by the controller on basis of the outdoor
temperature and influences from the room and / or return
temperatures. This temperature is used as a reference for the
control.
Desired room temperature
Temperature which is set as the desired room temperature. The
temperature can only be controlled by the ECL Comfort controller
if a room temperature sensor is installed.
If a sensor is not installed, the set desired room temperature
however still influences the flow temperature.
In both cases the room temperature in each room is typically
controlled by radiator thermostats / valves.
Desired temperature
Temperature based on a setting or a controller calculation.
