Connection
Necessary connections
Terminals:
- 25-26 Supply voltage 24 V a.c.
- 15-16 Signal from level transmitter type AKS 4100/4100U or
- 14-16 Signal from transmitter 0-10V
- 23-24 Expansion valve type AKV or AKVA or
- 2-5 Expansion valve type: ICM with ICAD
- 1-2 Switch function for start/stop of regulation. If a switch is not connected, terminals 1 and 2 must be shortcircuited.
Application dependent connections
Terminal:
- 12-13 Alarm relay
- There is connection between 12 and 13 in alarm situations and when the controller is dead
- 8-10 Relay for lower level limit. There is connection between 8 and 10 when the set value is passed
- 9-10 Relay for upper level limit. There is connection between
- 9 and 10 when the set value is passed
- 17-18 ICM valve feedback signal from ICAD 0/4-20 mA
- 19-21 Current signal or
- 20-21 Voltage signal from other regulation (for external reference displacement)
- 3-4 Data communication
Mount only, if a data communication module has been mounted. - It is important that the installation of the data communication cable be done correctly. Cf. separate literature No.

Operation
Display
The values will be shown with three digits, and after an operation the controller will return to its standard mode and show the measured liquid level.
Light-emitting diodes (LED) on front panel
- There are LED’s on the front panel which will light up when the corresponding relay is activated.
- The upper LED will indicate the valve’s opening degree. A short pulse indicates a slow liquid flow and a long pulse a fast liquid flow.
- The three lowest LED’s will flash, if there is an error in the regulation.
- In this situation you can upload the error code on the display and cancel the alarm by giving the uppermost button a brief push.
The buttons
When you want to change a setting, the two buttons will give you a higher or lower value depending on the button you are push-ing. But before you change the value, you must have access to the menu. You obtain this by pushing the upper button for a couple of seconds – you will then enter the column with parameter codes. Find the parameter code you want to change and push the two buttons simultaneously. When you have changed the value, save the new value by once more pushing the two buttons simultane-ously.

Examples of operations
Set reference
- Push the two buttons simultaneously
- Push one of the buttons and select the new value
- Push both buttons again to conclude the setting
Set one of the other menusz
- Push the upper button until a parameter is shown
- Push one of the buttons and find the parameter you want to change
- Push both buttons simultaneously until the parameter value is shown
- Push one of the buttons and select the new value
- Push both buttons again to conclude the setting

Error messages
The controller can give the following messages: | ||

Error message |
Errors in the controller |
E12 | The external reference contribution is outside the range | |
E21 | Level signal outside the range 1) | |
E22 | Signal from ICM/ICAD outside the range | |
A1 |
Alarm message |
Upper level limit reached |
A2 | Lower level limit reached | |
A3 | Alarm level limit reached |
1)
If E21 is detected. EKC 347 will force the valve to close or open the valve depending af n35
The valve is forced to fully closed, however if Min. Opening Degree (n33) is higher than 0 the valve will open to the value of n33
The valve is forced to fully open, however if Max. Opening Degree (n32) is lower than 100 the valve will open to the value of n32
