This instruction is written as a guideline for

using EKC programming tool for programming

factory settings.

For overview, see last page of instructions.

The instruction assumes that all hardware and

software are correctly installed.

Via AKA 243A

This applies to programming through AKA 243A

Establish connection to gateway, AKA 243A, following this

procedure (only to be done once after installing AKM):

1. Start software programme, AKM

2. Choose ‘Setup’ in the ‘AKA’ menu in the main screen

3. Press the ‘Router…’ button and enter ‘000:125’ as

system address

4. Return to the main screen

5. Choose ‘Upload’ in the ‘Configuration’ menu

6. Enter ‘000’ as ‘Network’, tick the ‘Net configuration’

option and press the ‘OK’ button

7. After a few seconds the gateway, AKA 243A appears.

8. Press ‘OK’ to save the uploaded network configura-

tion

9. Return to the main screen

10. Exit AKM

Create the setting file following this procedure:

1. Manually configure an EKC of the type (same

ordering number and same software version), the

setting file is to be used with

2. Connect the EKC to the gateway, AKA 243A (special

EEPROM’s for use with EKC programmer)

3. Start software programme, AKM

4. Choose ‘Upload’ in the ‘Configuration’ menu

5. Enter ‘000’ as ‘Network’, tick the ‘Net configuration’

and the ‘AKC description’ options and press the ‘OK’

button

6. After a few seconds the gateway, AKA 243A, and the

EKC appear

7. Press ‘OK’ to save the uploaded network configuration

8. Press ‘Close’ to return to the main menu (may last a

few seconds before this is possible)

9. Choose ‘Copy Settings…’ in the ‘AKC’ menu

For additional information on using AKM, please refer to AKM manual supplied by Danfoss.

For additional help on using EKC programmer, please refer to the online help following the EKC programmer software.

Minimum requirements to PC:

PC of type 80586 / Pentium with at least 32 MB RAM (64 MB, if Windows 2000 or NT) and possibility of a serial and a

parallel connection.

Operative system: Windows 95 or newer windows version.

Program EKC with EKC programmer software using the following procedure:

1. Start EKC programmer software

2. Connect the EKC to the programming tool (never connect power-connector before termination module)

3. Press the ‘Browse’ button to select the setting file

4. Press the ‘Start Programming’ button

5. The ‘Status message’ box turns green to inform that the EKC has been successfully programmed. This lasts

approximately 2 seconds with EKC 101 and approximately 80 seconds with other EKC’s.

Programming EKC with EKC programmer

10. Press the ‘Source…’ button and the EKC is selected

automatically (appears in the ‘Source’ section)

11. Press the ‘Dest…’ button, enter a file name for the

setting file (max. 8 characters) and press the ‘Save’

button

12. Press the ‘Copy’ button to copy settings from EKC to

setting file

13. Return to the main screen

14. Exit AKM

15. Integrate the setting file with EKC programming

software (see procedure below)

16. Program an EKC with Danfoss factory settings using

EKC programmer software (see procedure further

below)

17. Verify that all settings in the EKC are correct by

manually reading all parameters of the EKC

Integrate the setting file with EKC programming software,

following this procedure:

1. Start a file browsing programme, e.g. ‘Windows

explorer’

2. Copy the setting file (extension ‘*.akc’) from the

AKM-folder (default folder: ‘C:\AKM\AKBCKUP’) to

the setting file folder of the EKC programmer (default

folder: ‘C:\Program files\EKC programmer\setting

files’)

3. Rename the setting file to any name not exceeding

255 characters, keeping the ‘*.akc’ extension

4. Close the file browsing programme
