FAQ

Q1. Is this the right “Controller for Ecdrive” if my header label reads ECdrive T2?
A. Yes. The GEZE ECdrive Controller Unit is purpose-built for the ECdrive ecosystem, including ECdrive T2. Always match the label on your existing board and the wiring diagram in the header to confirm the exact hardware/firmware variant before ordering .

Q2. How is the “GEZE EC Processor” configured on site?
A. Use the programme switch for day-to-day modes and to initiate the guided teach-in sequence; GEZEconnects enables wireless setup, parameter logs and maintenance reports where supported — useful for multi-site portfolios .

Q3. What exactly does the teach-in routine calibrate?
A. The controller measures opening width and stop positions, checks encoder direction, characterizes friction/force, and compensates for leaf mass. Proper teach-in is the single best predictor of quiet, repeatable motion and minimal nuisance reversals .

Q4. Will this ECdrive controller work with my existing sensors and locks?
A. Yes. ECdrive platforms provide documented inputs for activation and safety sensors, plus interfaces for mechanical/electrical locks. Verification during commissioning is essential to meet EN 16005/DIN 18650 force and safety requirements .

Q5. Does the controller store a history of faults and usage?
A. Yes. Fault memory and statistical data (e.g., cycle counts) streamline diagnostics and preventive maintenance, cutting time-to-fix and callbacks .

Q6. What distinguishes ECdrive from Slimdrive in everyday service?
A. Both families use modular control electronics and similar commissioning workflows. ECdrive emphasizes 100 mm low-profile headers and, on T2, leaf loads up to 140 kg; Slimdrive focuses on ultra-slim 70 mm headers. Choose by aesthetic, opening size/weight, and local code requirements .

Q7. We’re replacing a failed board — any steps to reduce risk?
A. Verify supply and earth/ground, inspect sensor polarity and bus wiring, ESD-handle the board, then run the full teach-in. Confirm every program mode and safety device before handover; document parameters for your maintenance records .

Product Description

If your entrance wears the ECdrive nameplate, the GEZE ECdrive Controller Unit is the brain that determines how that door feels — the confident start, the clean stop, the quiet travel, and the way it behaves the same way next week as it does today. As the central GEZE EC Processor, it coordinates the motor/encoder loop, interprets activation and safety sensors, and applies speed and ramp profiles so doors open fast when traffic spikes and close gently when the lobby is quiet .

Built for dependable performance in real buildings

ECdrive operators are chosen for slim aesthetics and day-to-day reliability. The controller turns those mechanical advantages into consistent motion by calibrating friction and mass during teach-in, then enforcing acceleration/deceleration ramps and hold-open times tailored to each opening. The result is fewer nuisance reversals, fewer “door stops short” complaints, and predictable stop positions that keep presence sensors and safety edges operating in their intended zones .

On the ECdrive T2 platform, the controller supports door leaves up to 140 kg while maintaining the minimalist 100 mm header — a combination valued in healthcare, hospitality, transport and retail where design and throughput both matter . For portfolio managers, the practical upside is simple: one controller architecture across many openings, with parameters you can standardize and copy as sites are upgraded.

Commissioning that protects uptime

Technicians can commission at the door using the ST-series programme switch or leverage GEZEconnects for Bluetooth parameterization, snapshots and reports. That workflow makes it easy to apply corporate standards (e.g., partial-open percentages, hold-open timeouts), capture before/after evidence for audits, and baseline cycle counts for predictive service .

Diagnostics that shorten time-to-fix

The controller’s fault memory and statistical data give your team hard evidence rather than guesswork: the last errors thrown, how often they occurred, and the cycle burden since the last service. With that context, technicians replace the right component on the first visit and can prove the outcome with updated logs — exactly what modern facilities expect from a professional maintenance program .

Safety and compliance made repeatable

When commissioned with compliant sensors and edges, ECdrive systems are designed to meet EN 16005 / DIN 18650. The controller’s learn routine actively measures friction and forces, helping doors stay comfortably within limits in both winter stack effect and summer heat — conditions that often expose weak commissioning .

From a professional buyer’s point of view — questions you’re likely asking

• Will it fit without changing my façade?
  Yes. ECdrive and ECdrive T2 share the 100 mm profile aesthetic. The controller drops into the header housing; verify the part label in your existing unit to select the correct variant .

• Can I keep my programme switch?
  Yes. The controller works with GEZE programme switches for mode selection and parameter access. Where your fleet uses GEZEconnects, you can mirror parameters door-to-door for consistent user experience .

• What will reduce callbacks after installation?
  Replace worn carriages and belts at the same visit if cycle counts warrant it; then complete a full teach-in and document the final parameters. Most “mystery reversals” trace back to incomplete calibration or unverified sensor fields .

• How does this help my budget?
  Standardized parameters, logs, and error histories drive down time-to-diagnose. Predictable motion lowers sensor false triggers and mechanical wear — fewer parts, fewer truck rolls, more uptime .
