5.0  Programming

5.1 Introduction

The EPCT controller is fully programmable from the device’s 

faceplate. Users can program set points as well as other 

parameters. The time, date, and set points can only be 

changed from the menu system.
The menu system is broken down to tab systems. These 

include, Home, Startup, Panel Setup, Help, Pressure 

Settings, Timer Values, ATS Settings (if equipped), Alarm 

Setpoints, Inputs/Outputs, History/Statistics/Diagnostics, 

and Optional Output Card(s) (if equipped).

5.2 Navigation

In order to navigate through the EPCT operating system, 

press the tabs at the top of the screen to go through the 

menu. If the main menu password is enabled, the user will 

be prompted to enter the password to access any of the 

tabs except for Help and History/Statistics/Diagnostics.

NOTICE

It is recommended to set up a main menu password to help 

prevent any unauthorized access to the controller. This will 

help prevent reprogramming the controller that will impede 

the operation of the fire pump controller.

The controller does come with the ability to “Lockout” the 

display after thirty (30) minutes of inactivity to minimize 

accidental inputs. This feature will not inhibit the normal 

operation of the controller. To unlock the display, the user 

will be prompted to enter in “EPCT”.
In order to increase the longevity of the display board, 

the controller will activate the screensaver after thirty (30) 

minutes of inactivity. The screen saver will turn the screen 

black and will show a moving EATON logo. To deactivate the 

screensaver simply press anywhere on the screen.
All EPCT controller programmable features and associated 

set-point possibilities are presented in Table 1.
