warnings before installation, operation,
service and maintenance.

Not following the instructions can result in

serious accidents with fatal injuries.

In order to make the information clear only foreseeable conditions have
been considered. No warnings are given, therefore, for situations
arising from unintended usage of the machine and its tools.

2 Process Parameters

The EPC-400 control unit is used within a

separation system for control of the separation
process. The control unit can be programmed
for different separator systems and for
different conditions within the system. This is
done by setting parameters. The process
parameters can be adjusted easily and as often
as required to meet changes in the operating
conditions, e.g. time between sludge
discharges, oil temperature, alarm points.

DANGER

NOTE

EPC-400 parameter P21 is factory set

to 50 Hz. If connected to a 60 Hz
supply an alarm will occur. Set P21 to
60 Hz and press the reset button. The
alarm will disappear.

The installation parameters must be set before

the initial start-up and before process
parameters are set. The parameters rarely need
to be adjusted again.

5.2 Alarm Log

By setting P90 to 50, the mode selector in
position L and then by pushing the alarm reset
button, the 32 latest alarms can be displayed,
including self resetting alarms.

Each logged alarm consists of three

consecutive groups of information:
1. The accumulated alarm log time, which
shows how long the EPC has been in
operation since the previous alarm.
Max. time between two alarms is 999.5
hours ≈ 41 days. If this time is exceeded
the whole alarm log will be reset to 0.
2. The alarm is indicated in the same way as
when it occurred, except for the alarms
starting with an E.
• Alarm code starting with an A.
• LED and an alarm code, for instance
“High or low oil temperature”.
• LED indications only.
• “Alarm” codes starting with an E
(events with no alarm released). E1 is a
self resetting functions.
E1 = no signal for discharge
E4 = ALCAP functions in stand-by
mode
E5 = ALCAP functions back to
operation mode again.
3. The actual value of parameter P1
(maximum time between sludge
discharges).

5.3 Timer function

By setting P94 to >0.0 a count down timer is
activated. It is intended as a reminder of
service to be made after the elapsed running
hours. If e.g. P94 is set to 2.70 it means 2700
hours. Each 0.1 indicates 100 hours. When
2700 hours of operation have elapsed, an
alarm will be released and 3h - - - is indicated
in the front window. The alarm is repeated at
each start of the EPC. To avoid this the P94
timer has to be started or set to 0.
When P94 is >0 the actual count down value
is displayed when P95 is activated. P95 is just
an indication of the elapsed time in P94. It can
not be set.

To restart the timer, go to P94. Push third

button once (display flashes). Push button one
once. The timer is now restarted with the same
value. When the display is flashing, a new
value can be entered.

2. Change P15 to “do”.
3. Go back to P5 and set P5, P6 and

If only diesel oil is valid for the

done:
1. Set P5 greater than 0.
2. Change P15 to “do”.
3. Go back to P5 and set P5, P6 and

P5 should be set sufficiently above the

temperature set point P7.
(Recommendation 5 – 10 °C, or
10 – 20 °F, higher than P7).
If P5 = 0 (no monitoring temperature

then P6 = P7 = “- - -”.

P8 P-band (Proportional band)
If P37 = 0 then P8 = “- - -”.

P9 I-time (Integral time)
If P37 = 0 then P9 = “- - “.
If P37=1 or 2 then P9 is automatically
preset to 1.2 minutes.
How to set P8 and P9:
If the temperature varies with regularly
repeated oscillation, setting of the
proportional band and integral time
would be necessary.
• Increasing the value of parameter
P8 (proportional band width) will
result in a slower and more stable
control action.
• Increasing the value of parameter
P9 (integral time) also results in
slower response from the EPC-400.

We recommend you to follow these

guidelines:
1. Set P9 = 10 minutes.
2. Decrease P-band (P8) band in steps
until the process reaches the point
where it starts to oscillate with a
constant amplitude. Test the
stability after each step by
P000041A

introducing a step-change of load

or set point.

P10 Stand-by / On mode
In the case of transducer failure or
temporarily abnormal operation with
excessive water content, or during fault
finding, the ALCAP functions can be

1. Emergency stop (XS2) is normally connected to terminal X8:4. If optional vibration switch (XS1) is installed, it
will be connected to terminal X8:4. Emergency stop (XS2) will then be connected to the system power supply.
If the EPC is in stand-by mode (OFF) and the emergency stop button is pushed, the separator motor will be
stopped.
2. With optional sensor TT1 installed P50 will not start if the temperature is to low or to high.
3. During P60 and P61 intermittently 1second every 5 minutes.
4. Closing water only during P71, P72 and P74 for FOPX 611/614. P72=2 for FOPX 611/614.

7 Sequence Diagram FOPX Parameter List

Starting sequence
• If P15 = do
then P53 = 0.

Separation sequence
• MV5 will be open in P60 when trigger
value ≥ 100% (shown in the diagram with
a dotted line) and then P78 = 0.
• If trigger value ≥ 100 in P61 or P70
then remaining time = 0.
Bowl closing water is intermittently supplied
during the separation sequence (shown in the
diagram with a broken line).

Sludge discharge sequence

• If P15 = do
then P70 = 0.
• If in stand-by mode (P10 = 0)
then P70 =P78 = 0.
Within this period of time the transducer
signal from the transducer MT4 normally
interrupt the P70 sequence.

Stopping sequence
Before the actual stopping sequence begins
the separation is completed with a sludge
discharge sequence.
