More detailed information can be found in the User Manual.

The EC2-352 is a dedicated refrigeration controller with superheat and a driver for
an Alco Controls Electric Control Valve EX2. In addition the EC2-352 controls air
temperature and manages defrost and fan(s).

A PT5 pressure transmitter (1) and an ECN-Pxx pipe temperature sensor (2)
measure saturated suction gas pressure and suction gas temperature at the
evaporator outlet and feed the signals into the superheat control loop. The
superheat controller output modulates the opening of the EX2 pulse width
modulated Electrical Control Valve (6) thus optimizing the refrigerant mass flow
through the evaporator. The ECN-Sxx air temperature sensors (3) and (4) measure
air-in and out temperature of the evaporator and feed signals into the air
temperature thermostat. The ECN-Fxx fin sensor (5) is used for defrost
termination. The controller has 3 relay outputs to control the compressor (7),
defrost heater (9) and evaporator fan (8). Please consult the technical data (right)
for input and output ratings.
In case of power loss, due to the positive shut-off characteristics of the EX2
Electrical Control Valves, a liquid line solenoid valve is not needed to prevent
flooding of the compressor.

Mounting

The EC2-352 can be mounted in panels with a 71 x
29 mm cutout. See dimensional drawing below for
space requirements including rear connectors.
Push controller into panel cutout.(1)
Make sure that mounting lugs are flush with outside
of controller housing
Insert allen key into front panel holes and turn
clockwise. Mounting lugs will turn and gradually
move towards panel (2)
Turn allen key until mounting lug barely touches
panel. Then move other mounting lug to the same
position (3)
Tighten both sides very carefully until controller is
secured. Do not over tighten as mounting lugs will
break easily.

Electrical Installation

Refer to the electrical wiring diagram (below) for electrical connections. A copy of
this diagram is labeled on the controller. Use connection wires/cables suitable for
90°C operation (EN 60730-1)

EC2 analog inputs are for dedicated sensors only and should not be connected to
any other devices. Connecting any EC2 inputs to mains voltage will permanently
damage the EC2.
Important:
Keep controller and sensor wiring well separated from mains wiring.
Minimum recommended distance 30mm.
Warning:
Use a class II category transformer for 24VAC power supply (EN
60742). Do not ground the 24VAC lines. We recommend to use one transformer
per EC2 controller and to use separate transformers for 3

rd

party controllers, to

avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power supply. Connecting
any EC2 inputs to mains voltage will permanently damage the EC2.
