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.
