ECL-600 Series
®
LONMARK Certified 28-Point Overview
Programmable Controllers
The ECL-600 Series controllers are microprocessor-based
programmable controllers designed to control various building
automation applications such as air handling units, chillers, boilers,
pumps, cooling towers, and central plant applications. This series
supports up to two ECx-400 Series I/O extension modules.
®
These controllers use the LonTalk communication protocol and are
LONMARK certified as a Static Programmable Device, guaranteeing
compatibility and interoperability with other manufacturers’ LONMARK
certified controllers.

Features & Benefits

= Flexible inputs and outputs support all industry-standard HVAC
unitary applications
= Rugged hardware inputs and outputs eliminate the need for
external protection equipment
= Models available with HOA switches and potentiometers are ideal
for equipment testing or commissioning
= An optional full-color backlit display with jog dial provides direct
access to a wide range of controller functions
= Supports EC-gfxProgram, making Building Automation System
programming effortless
= Open-to-Wireless™ ready, supporting a wide variety of wireless
sensors and switches and helping to reduce installation costs
= Supports the Allure™ Series Communicating Sensors, providing
intelligent sensing and environmental zone control
