Continuous monitoring of sensors and wiring ensures immediate failure detection for reliable operation.
Robust aluminum housing allows for easy DIN rail mounting with plug-in screw terminals.
Includes evaporating pressure limitation (MOP) and low superheat alarm for effective pressure management.
Versatile applications include standard evaporators, subcoolers, and intermediate gas control in two-stage compressors.
Operates independently after initial setup, with the optional ECD-002 display connectable as needed.
FAQs:
Is the ECD-002 Display/Keypad required for the EC3-X33 to operate?
The ECD-002 Display/Keypad is required for the initial setup of the EC3-X33 to configure main parameters like refrigerant type, pressure sensor type, and valve type. However, once set up, the controller operates independently, and the display can be connected or disconnected as needed.
How does the EC3-X33 ensure safety during a power loss?
The EC3-X33 features a built-in rechargeable battery that automatically closes the connected Emerson stepper motor valve during a power loss. This safety function, combined with intelligent alarm management, helps protect the compressor from potential damage.
What are the power supply requirements for the EC3-X33?
The EC3-X33 requires a 24VAC power supply from a Class II transformer. It is recommended to use a dedicated transformer for the EC3 controller(s) rather than sharing with third-party controllers to avoid grounding loops or interference. Mains voltage should never be connected to any EC3 inputs.
Can the EC3-X33 be used with different types of evaporators and compressors?
Yes, the EC3-X33 is a universal superheat controller suitable for a wide range of applications, including standard evaporators (shell and tube, plate heat exchangers, air coils), subcoolers or economizers on screw/scroll compressors, intermediate gas control in two-stage compressors, and suction gas control with hot gas bypass.
