GENERAL WARNINGS
- Every use that is not described in this manual is considered incorrect and is not authorized by the manufacturer
- Verify that the installation and operating conditions of the device respect those specified in the
manual, especially concerning the supply voltage and environmental conditions
- This device contains live electrical components. All service and maintenance operations must therefore be
performed by qualified personnel
- The device must not be used as a safety device
- Liability for injury or damage caused by the incorrect use of the device lies solely with the user
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
- Recommended mounting position: vertical
- Installation must comply with local standards and legislation
- This product is not subject to the UK PSTI regulation, as it is for supply to and use only by professionals with the necessary expertise and qualifications.
Any misuse or improper handling may result in unintended consequences. By purchasing or using this product, you acknowledge and accept the
professional-use-only nature of its application. Danfoss does not assume any liability for damages, injuries, or adverse consequences (“damage”) resulting
from the incorrect or improper use of the product and you agree to indemnify Danfoss for any such damage resulting from your incorrect or improper
use of the product.
- Before working on the electrical connections, disconnect the device from the main power supply
- Before carrying out any maintenance operations on the device, disconnect all electrical connections
- For safety reasons the appliance must be fitted inside an electrical panel with no live parts accessible
- Do not expose the device to continuous water sprays or to a relative humidity greater than 90%.
- Avoid exposure to corrosive or pollutant gases, natural elements, environments where explosives or mixes of
flammable gases are present, dust, strong vibrations or shock, large and rapid fluctuations in ambient temperature
that might cause condensation in combination with high humidity, strong magnetic and/or radio interference
(e.g. transmitting antennae)
- When connecting loads be aware of the maximum current for each relay and connector
- Use cable ends suitable for the corresponding connectors. After tightening connector screws, tug the cables gently
to check their tightness
- Use appropriate data communication cables. Refer to the EKE data sheet for the kind of cable to be used and setup
recommendations
- Minimize the length of probe and digital input cables as much as possible, and avoid spiral routes around power
devices. Separate from inductive loads and power cables to avoid possible electromagnetic noises
- Avoid touching or nearly touching the electronic components fitted on the board to avoid electrostatic discharges
PRODUCT WARNINGS
• Use a class II category transformer for 24 V AC power supply.
• Connecting any EKE inputs to mains voltage will permanently damage the controller.
• Battery Backup terminals does not generate power to recharge a device connected.
• Battery backup - the voltage will close the stepper motor valves if the controller loses its supply voltage.
• Do not connect an external power supply to the digital input DI terminals to avoid damaging the controller.

Pressure transmitter
• Installation of the pressure transmitter is less critical. However, the pressure transmitter should be closer to
the temperature sensor, right after the evaporator and with its head upright. It is a good practice to select
a pressure transmitter with an average load of 40 - 60% of full scale.
• 5 EKEs at maximum are allowed to share the output signal of a ratiometric pressure transmitter.
In order to get a correct acquisition on all the units all the three wires (GND, 5 V and transmitter signal
output) must be routed to every unit.
Power supply
• Power sharing is allowed in EKE controller.
• It is a good practice not to reverse the polarity of the power connection cables.
Selection of the common power supply depends on the total number of sharings and the valve in use.

Warning
Separate the sensor and digital input cables as much as possible (at least 10 cm) from the power cables to the
loads to avoid possible electromagnetic disturbance. Never lay power cables and probe cables in the same
conduits (including those in the electrical panels).
Connecting Modbus
• For the MODbus cable, it is best to use 24 AWG shielded twisted-pair cable with a shunt capacitance
of 16 pF/ft and 100Ω impedance.
• The controller provides an insulated RS485 communication interface which is connected to the
RS485 terminals (see connection overview).
• The max. permissible number of devices simultaneously connected to RS485 cable output is 32.
The RS485 cable is of impedance 120 Ω with maximum length of 1000 m.
• Terminal resistors 120 Ω for terminal devices are recommended at both ends.
• The EKE communication frequency (baud rate) can be one of the following: 9600, 19200 or
38400 baud, default 19200 8 E 1.
• The default unit address is 1, which can be changed using parameter “G001 Controller adr.”.

For a detailed explanation of Modbus installation and setting software parameters, see:
Data sheet for “EKE Superheat controller” and “EKD EIM Data Communication Modbus RS485 RTU”.
• All valves are driven in a bipolar mode with a 24 V supply chopped to control the current (Current driver).
• The stepper motor is connected to the “Stepper Valve” terminals (see terminal assignment) with a
standard M12 connection cable.
• To configure stepper motor valves other than Danfoss stepper motor valves, the correct valve parameters
must be set as described in the Valve configuration section by selecting user defined valve.

USER INTERFACE
EKE 1B can be setup using one of the following user interfaces:
1. Danfoss KoolProg software
2. Danfoss MMIGRS2 external display
3. Communication bus: Modbus RS485 RTU
KoolProg
KoolProg is a software tool for quickly and easily configuring EKE controllers. It enables you
to make online changes to parameter configuration, copy settings to multiple controllers,
monitor the live status of input/outputs, and quickly analyze controller behavior and
program patterns with a graphical trending tool.
KoolProg Software is available for download free of charge at http://koolprog.danfoss.com.
KoolProg requires a Gateway (code 080G9711) to connect to the PC.
Always use latest KoolProg version and User must check the software version of EKE and
create configuration file in KoolProg for that version. Configuration made with the different
software version should not be copied to controller.

Important note!
To guarantee a reliable USB connection to a host device (e.g. industrial PC), you must:
• Connect terminals R and H on MMIMYK CAN port using a termination wire.
• Place cable holder close to MMIMYK to keep USB connector firmly in place.
• Keep USB cable length < 1 m.
• Place MMIMYK and route USB cable far from noise sources (inverter, motors, contactors etc.)

Setup wizard via MMIGRS2 display
When all connections to the controller have been made, after the power is switched on, the Danfoss logo will appear
for 5 seconds, then the Home screen will be displayed.
To access the Wizard: press and hold enter to access the Login screen, the commissioning password is 300, scroll down
the Setup and service menu and select “Setup wizard”.
The Wizard workflow is: a. Language selection; b. Application selection; c. Input configuration; and d.
Output configuration.
When using the Setup Wizard, repeat the following sequence for all parameter settings:
a. From Setup wizard, select relevant parameters.
b. Press ENTER to highlight 1st option
c. Scroll with UP / DOWN to your desired option
d. If the selected default value is acceptable, press DOWN to get to the next settings. Otherwise,
press ENTER to set your choice
e. Scroll with DOWN to the next parameter (repeat sequence a. to e.)
Note:
• If you do not have sufficient information to complete the Wizard, leave settings on their default values. To generate
the requested info, you can use Danfoss Coolselector2 software to calculate operating conditions and valve OD for the
same operating point.
• Setup Wizard only covers the most important parameters. If other features are to be enabled
(e.g. Alarm settings, MOP/LOP, etc.), they must be configured separately once the Setup Wizard is done.
Setup Wizard is also available in KoolProg PC tool.
The workflow process is the same as that described above for MMIGRS2 display.
