2.0 EPACO SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The EPACO System is a modular detection
and control system combining the latest in
addressable technology with simplicity of
installation and maintenance. All system
modules are DIN rail mounted to allow for a
variety of installation options. Three (3) bus type
communication circuits tie the various system
modules into one easy to operate protection
system. A non-volatile history buffer allows for
enhanced diagnostic ability to troubleshoot
process situations. With the optional
Annunciator Module (AM), the customer has the
ability to step through a menu format to retrieve
process history without having to wait for a
service agency to arrive on site.
This manual will provide the necessary
information to properly install and monitor the
Explosion Protection Controller (EPC) for the
EPACO System. The commissioning and
service should be performed by certified service
engineers and outlets specifically trained on this
system.
