3.1 Alarm Functions

The alarm system is designed to ensure that
the separation system always remains in a safe
state. There are two different types of alarm
functions:
Sensor-related alarm functions are

indicated by light emitting diodes (LEDs)
on the EPC-400.
Display-related alarm functions are

indicated on the EPC-400 display. When
any of the displayed alarm functions are
activated the left digits start flashing and
the right digits are steadily lit.
G0442011
If there is more than one alarm at the same

time, the EPC-400 will display the alarm with
the highest priority first and then the next
alarm, and so on in priority order.
An activated alarm condition is identified either by an alarm LED (to the left in the
picture) or an alarm code on the display together with the main alarm LED (to the
right in the picture).
3 Alarms
2. Remedy the cause.

3. Reset the alarm function by pressing the
alarm push-button a second time.
The LED will turn off.
It is possible to reset the system without
remedying the cause, but the alarm signal will
be repeated.
NOTE
Never return to the EPC-400 control
unit to acknowledge or reset an alarm
if it by any means can be hazardous.
G001647A
1. Acknowledge the alarm signal by pressing

the alarm push-button.
The flashing light then changes to steady.

Alarm Tests
Use the following guide for testing alarm

functions by activating them. Alarms are
provoked by one or more actions (A, B and so
on) as shown in the right column, however,
certain alarm functions can not be tested
without being disconnected.
N.B. If the alarm functions are to be
disconnected in the control unit, be
careful to avoid a short-circuit.
The recommendation is to test the alarms
every 3 months.

Test Program
The EPC-400 control unit has a test program,

for testing of input and output functions,
memory etc.
This test program should be run when the
installation is made and whenever there is a
need for it, for instance, during fault finding.
5.1 How to Start the Test

Program
N.B. The test program is only to be used
when the separation system is out of
operation.
To run the test program, do as follows:
1. Open the control unit door.
2. Switch the power off and the mode
selector in any position (R, L or P).
3. Press simultaneously the discharge and the
alarm push-buttons, and keep them
pressed.
4. Switch the power on.

a very low value) or 255 indicates a serious
fault.
A normal value for function 8.3, Reference
4 V should be 195 215.
The table below shows how to find the fault.

For instance, if the display shows 000 for

function 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, it must be either a
blown fuse or A/D converter fault. Check it in
this order:
1. If the fuse is blown, replace it.
2. If the fuse is correct, replace the control
module.
