Ecomaster Comfort
Normally the Ecomaster Comfort operates in automatic mode, that is, the climatizer itself selects the air speed,
the position of the flaps and the functioning of the rest of the components of the climatization so that its
functioning is optimum.

In these operating conditions, the automatic screen will be displayed indicating the outside temperature and the
image of a bus with the selected temperatures for driver and passenger systems. In addition, the two LEDs
located next to the keys (3),(15) will light up indicating automatic operation.

Automatic screen

Nevertheless, the driver can decide to change the operation of any of the system’s components at any time.

Each time the speed of the fans or the driver or passenger unit flaps are changed manually or the ECO, reheat or
pre-heater functions are pressed, the manual screen will appear showing the symbols of the components which
are functioning in manual mode.

indicated on the following screen.

Driver climate unit off screen.

1.2 Selecting the driver unit temperature.

To select the desired temperature for the driver unit, press the (2) or (1) keys.
If the passenger climatization unit is on, the selected temperature for the driver unit can be between +3º C (5º F)
and –3º C (5º F) of that selected for the passengers’ area. This means, if the selected passengers’ area
temperature is 22º C (72ºF), the driver can choose between 19º and 25º C (66º and 77ºF).

If the passenger climatization unit is off, the above limit does not apply and the driver can select any temperature
between 17º C (63º F) and 27º C (82º F).

The upper limit for the driver temperature is HI and in this position the heating will operate at maximum power
continuously. The lower limit is LO and in this case the air conditioning will operate at maximum power
continuously.

The Ecomaster Comfort has three different voltage inputs all located in the 9-pin NC1 connector. Each of these
inputs has a specific function.

• +MCS: NC1 Driver and Passengers Pos. 4 and 5.Connected to the Central Safety Control (on the battery
before the main switch) it allows the climatizer to maintain its memory even when the main switch is off. The
functions associated with the pre-heater (switching on the pre-heater, valves and water pumps, air flaps and
driver unit additional heater fans) take their power from this supply.

4. Configuration of the POT climatization system.

The Ecomaster Comfort can operate with two different types of climatization system which depend on the heating
elements installed in the vehicle and how these are installed.: roof heater batteries and floor convectors.
In addition, it can control air conditioning systems with an additional compressor for the driver’s unit.
The indication of the type of heating system installed and whether the additional compressor has to be controlled
by the Ecomaster is given by an internal variable called POT.
The Ecomaster Comfort allows for the following POTs:

Páge 34 of 51

Ecomaster Comfort
POT Description
1 Roof and floor heating in series via a single valve.

2 Only floor heating.
A single compressor for driver and passengers.
3 Roof and floor heating in parallel via two valves.

Two compressors, one for the driver and another for the passengers
7 Roof and floor heating in parallel via two valves
Two compressors, one for the driver and another for the passengers.
8 Only roof heating.
Two compressors, one for the driver and another for the passengers.

The POT system can be configured automatically or manually.


If manual configuration is chosen, it will not be possible to switch on the Ecomaster Comfort in climatization mode
until the POT has been entered, since if this is not done, the control system does not know what it has to control.
If the POT configuration is in manual and no setting has ever been entered, when the panel is switched on, a
screen will be displayed indicating that the POT has to be programmed.

4.1. Automatic POT.


The Ecomaster Comfort can automatically detect the first 4 heating settings shown in the previous table, in which
case we have to connect the AutoPot input (NC1P of the passenger node, pin 6) to GND.

For it to detect the system correctly, the recirculation valves and pump must be connected directly to the CPU,
i.e., with no intermediate relays and their consumption must be above the values for downloads in the connector
table of NC3 input-outputs.

2 (ONLY FLOOR) NO SI NO NO
3 (FLOOR AND ROOF IN PARALLEL) SI SI INDISTINCT NO
4 (ONLY ROOF) SI NO INDISTINCT NO

When the Ecomaster Comfort performs the first AutoCheck it memorizes the components detected and takes as
its POT the one which corresponds to those components according to the previous table.
If no valve is detected by the control system it will select the POT 2 configuration (only floor heating system).
If upon performing an AutoCheck the control fails to detect one of these elements which it had detected
previously, the corresponding error is displayed. (On the Error screen you will be able to see which heating
elements are missing). This error will correct itself by connecting the loads correctly or removing and replacing
the +MCS.
If upon performing an AutoCheck new loads are detected which had not been detected in the previous one, a
new POT will be selected corresponding to all the loads detected in the last AutoCheck according to the previous
table.

4.2. Manual POT.


If we do not want the system to detect the type of heating installed automatically or if the type of heating does not
correspond to any of those indicated in the table above, it will be sufficient to connect it to ground via pin 6 of
NC1P.
In this case we must tell the control system what type of heating is installed by selecting it on the variable POT in
the POT Selection screen (Diagnostic Menu).
The first time the System starts up, you are reminded via the screen message INSERT POT, that you must
program the POT in order for the system to start up.

To do this, you enter Diagnostic by simultaneously pressing keys (1),(16) + (2),(17) + (10). Once you
are in Diagnostic mode, you must go to the POT screen by pressing key (9). From this screen you select the
right value by holding down key (9) while at the same time increasing or decreasing the POT value using the
keys (1), (16) and (2),(17).

NOTE: Once the POT has been selected, if the climatizer loses the battery power supply, it will not be necessary
to reset it as it is stored in the system’s memory. This must be borne in mind if an Ecomaster Comfort CPU is
changed from one vehicle to another with a different heating configuration. In that case, for the system to function
correctly, the new vehicle’s heating POT must be inserted manually.

5. Operating modes.

The Ecomaster Comfort has three different supply inputs all located on the 9-pin NC1 connector. Each of these
inputs has a specific function.
• +MCS: Driver and Passenger NC1 Pos. 4 and 5.Connected to the Central Safety Control (On the battery,
before the main switch). This allows the memory of the climatizer to be retained even when the main switch is off.
The functions associated with the pre-heater (Switching on the pre-heater, valves and water pumps, air flap and
driver’s additional heater fans) receive power from this supply.
• +30: Driver and Passenger NC1 Pos. 7,8 and 9. Connected beyond the battery main switch. This permits
power supply to the fans of the driver climate unit, staircase fans, evaporator and condenser fans of the
passenger climatization unit, and the compressor and fans of the rear door heater unit.
• INPUT 4: NC1 Driver Pos. 6. Connected to the alternator, it indicates whether the engine is running and
the batteries charging. When there is power to this point, the Ecomaster Comfort switches on automatically,
allowing all the climatization functions to operate
An input is considered as having power if the voltage reading on the corresponding terminal is above 22VDC
Depending on the state of the supply in each of these three inputs, the Ecomaster Comfort will be in one of these
three operating modes.
• Sleeping: Power supply in +MCS but not in +30 or in the alternator input (INPUT4). The control is off and
can only perform pre-heater functions, maintain the memory and read the temperatures of the sensors. No
climatization function is possible. You can enter the Diagnostic screen, but only those components connected to
+MCS can be switched on (see tables of the functions of the connectors).
• Wake-up: Power supply in +MCS and +30 but the alternator is stopped (motor stopped) so there is no
input in terminal 6 of NC1C. In these conditions the control is off, although certain driver climatization functions
can be switched on by pressing driver’s key (3). Since the alternator is stopped and is not charging the
battery, the fans of the driver’s Climatization Unit can only operate at minimum speed. You can enter the
Diagnostic screen
• Active: Power supply in +MCS, +30 and the alternator is charging the battery. The Ecomaster Comfort
can perform all the climatization functions, enter the Diagnostic menu and switch off.

The difference between the two is that the Diagnostic Menu operates each of the control outputs separately so
that the functioning of the various components can be checked.
The Display Menu, is used to see the state of each of the elements that the Ecomaster Comfort controls, while it
is operating in climatization mode, without interrupting the temperature regulation and without it being possible for
any of the components to operate (by switching on or off).

7. CHECKING THE SENSORS.

All the temperature sensors of the Ecomaster Comfort are PTC1000 type.

To check the functioning of the temperature sensors you can use the attached table which indicates the relation
between temperature and the resistance that must be measured between the sensor terminals.

Inside temperature, channel Outside temperature sensor.


and ice sensor

Temperature ºC Resistance
Ohms
-30 624,00
-20 684,00
-10 747,00
0 815,00
10 886,00
20 961,00

40 1122,00
50 1209,00
60 1299,00
70 1392,00
80 1490,00

For values not found in the table you should calculate from the nearest values.

The measuring range of the sensors is from –30ºC to +80ºC.

To check the Relative Humidity sensor is functioning correctly, proceed as follows.

• Check that the voltage between terminals nº 3 and nº 5 of the passenger node connector NC4P is 5 Volts
DC.
• Check that the voltage between terminals nº 4 and nº 5 of the passenger node connector NC4P is
between 1 and 3 Volts approximately.

The solar radiation sensor is a diode and therefore can be checked as such by measuring between its ends with
a multimeter in a position for measuring diodes. It should give a reading of between 0.5 and 0.6 volts in one
direction and closed circuit in the other.

Another possibility is to take it close to a light bulb and check the difference in voltage between the two ends,
which should be between 0.1 and 0.2 Volts approximately.
