Product Description

The EPCT Fire features an advanced, 7” color touchscreen that

incorporates both the foam additive controller (FPC) and automatic

transfer switch (ATS) functionality into one, intuitive display.

Designed solely with the consumer in mind, the EPCT Fire enables

technicians to commission the foam additive controller faster;

troubleshooting is made easier and is more effective through the

use on-screen history filtering and diagnostic monitoring.

For over 50 years, Eaton has been the industry leader in Medium

Voltage Motor Control. The FDM Medium Voltage Fire Pump

Controller is based on the AMPGARD® controller design which

incorporates Eaton’s industry leading TRITON™ SL Series Medium

Voltage Vacuum Contactor. The SL Contactor utilizes Eaton’s

vacuum interrupters that exhibit both a long electrical life and a high

interruption capacity.

Product Features

Touchscreen Display

General

Speed of commissioning, configuration and troubleshooting are

more critical to businesses today more than ever. Through the

use of a 7” touchscreen, users can easily program all site specific

setpoints through an intuitive menu structure, view all critical system

information, and troubleshoot quickly and accurately via on-screen

diagnostics.

Automatic Transfer Switch Integration

Going away from the multiple screen approach, the EPCT Fire touch-

screen integrates both the Foam Additive Controller and Automatic

Transfer Switch into one display enabling the user to effectively

manage programming and operation from one source.

Commissioning Simplified

The Startup tab features all controller related commissioning tasks

such as: Quick Setup, Setup Phase Reversal, Flow Test, Manual/

Automatic Starts, and Test Alarms.

UL Type Rating

The touchscreen display has been tested in accordance with UL and

achieves a type 4X rating.

Programming Menu

Startup tab

This tab system enables the user to complete all controller related

commissioning tasks. Each sub-menu within the Startup tab guides

the user through step-by-step, intuitive screens to quickly and effec-

tively complete the startup and commissioning process.

Panel Setup tab

nominal voltage, etc., are located in the Panel Setup tab. For all

programming points within the Panel Setup tab, refer to the instruc-

tion manual: MN124016EN.

Help tab

The help tab provides end users service contact information from

the company that commissioned the unit (if programmed), factory

contact information, and a QR code to download the instruction

manual onto a mobile device.

Pressure Settings tab

Contains a variety of pressure settings that may be programmed to

suit site requirements. Some key settings include: Start Pressure,

Stop Pressure, Low Pressure Alarm, High Pressure Alarm, Low

Suction Shutdown, Low Foam Shutdown, Pressure Units, and the

ability to calibrate the transducer.

Timer Values tab

This tab system contains the programming point for all foam addi-

tive controller related timers. These timers are: Minimum Run Time,

Acceleration Time, Sequential Start Time, Fail to Start Time, Fail to

Stop Time, and Weekly Motor Test Timer.

Alarm Setpoints tab

There are seven (7) programmable alarm points within this tab

system: Phase Reversal, Phase Failure Alarm Setpoint, Motor

Overload Setpoint, Transducer Fail Pump Start, Abort Motor Test on

Low Voltage, Voltage Alarm Settings, and Frequency Alarm Settings.

Inputs/Outputs tab

The I/O board is capable of accepting ten (10) custom inputs that

can be programmed for seventeen (17) predefined conditions. The

output relays can be programmed for sixty-one (61) separate condi-

tions. Additional relays can be added through the use of a single or

multiple optional relay boards.

History/Statistics/Diagnostics tab

This tab system allows the customer/technician to view historical

data, controller statistics, controller diagnostics, and startup informa-

tion. To assist, the controller can filter for specific events or between

certain dates to speed up troubleshooting.

I/O Board

Customer Input Connections

Connection terminals are provided at the top of the I/O board for

external customer connections that can be programmed through the

touchscreen display.

Output Relays

The I/O board features four (4), 250VAC, 8A, 2 Form-C relays desig-

nated for the following: Common Alarm, Power/Phase Failure, Phase

Reversal, and Pump Run. Each relay socket has a surface mount LED

to indicate the relay’s coil status.

Optional Boards

The controller can accept up to four (4) additional option boards:

optional relay board, MODBUS communication board, secondary

4-20mA device board, and an alarm board. The controller has provi-

sions to allow future optional boards to be added with plug-and-play

functionality.

Other Components

Drain Valve Solenoid

All full-service EPCT Fire controllers are equipped with a drain valve

solenoid used for manual or automatic motor tests.

External USB Port

The USB port allows the user to download historical messages,

statistics, diagnostic information, startup file, and current controller

configuration to any USB device with FAT16 or FAT 32 formatting.

Enclosures

The EPCT Fire controllers come standard with UL type 2 (drip-proof)

enclosures. Optional enclosures are available and include: type, 3,

3R, 4, 4X, and 12.
