6100 Series Manual
Electronic Power Control Unit—EPCU
The EPCU houses the redundant microprocessors, enclosure power contacts, (2) auxiliary contacts, power
supply module, galvanically isolated barriers for the inputs, vent(s), and temperature modules. The EPCU is
easy to remove and install into the explosion-proof enclosure that houses it.
The EPCU is available in 20 ... 30 VDC or 100 ... 250 VAC units. The enclosure power contacts are force-
guided safety relays. The auxiliary contacts can be user configured for different functions, depending on user
requirements.
User interface controller—UIC
The 6100 series is user programmable for many of the configurable options available. This is done with
the intrinsically safe user interface on the face of the unit, which can also be remote mounted. The user
interface contains a 2 x 20 LCD that allows programming through a set of buttons on the menu-driven unit. All
configuration and options are programmed through this unit. There are also (5) LEDs for easy visual indication
of operation:
Safe pressure – This turns on (blue) when safe pressure is achieved inside the enclosure.
Enclosure power – This is (red) when the enclosure is on. The enclosure power can be on only after a
successful purge and a safe pressure is achieved. The bypass option allows power to remain on if safe
pressure is lost.
Rapid Exchange
®
– The rapid exchange or purging flow rate turns on (blue) when the flow rate is
measuring proper flow.
System bypass – This turns on (yellow) when the system bypass is active. This should be used only when
the area around the enclosure is known to be safe.
Alarm fault – The (red) LED blinks when any alarm input is detected and is solid when there is an internal
system fault.
Requirements for Purging/Pressurization
Certifications allow the 6100 series to be used on enclosures in gas-hazardous atmospheres. Gas
atmospheres require purging of the enclosure. Once the pressure within the enclosure is above the minimum
level, the equipment within the enclosure can be energized.
Purge Timing
The enclosure purging time is based on the enclosure volume, the number of exchanges required, and the
EPV-6100 vent being used. These parameters are entered by the user with the enclosure volume and number
of exchanges provided by the user and the EPV-6100 vent flow rated listed on the data for the specific model.
Example:
The enclosure volume is 14,000 liters
The number of exchanges is 10
The vent is the EPV-6100-MP-080 (required flow rate for purging is 8000 l/min)
Purge time = (14000 * 10) / 8000 = 17. 5 min
The same example for an EPV-6100-MP-110, which the required flow rate for purging is 11,000 l/min
Purge time = (14000 * 10) / 11000 = 12.7 min
