• Study instruction manuals and observe the
warnings before installation, operation,
service and maintenance.

Not following the instructions can result in

serious accidents with fatal injuries.

• In order to make the information clear only foreseeable conditions have

been considered. No warnings are given, therefore, for situations
arising from unintended usage of the machine and its tools.

• A summary of the safety information is found in the Safety chapter

under divider 1.

3.1 Alarm Functions

The alann system is designed to ensure that
the separation system always remains in a safe
state. There are two different types of alann

• functions:
• Sensor-related alarm functions are
indicated by light emitting diodes (LEDs)

• •
on the EPC-41.
Display-related alarm functions are
indicated on the EPC-4l display. When
any of the displayed alann functions are
activated the left digits start flashing and
the right digits are steadily lit.

If there is more than one alann at the same

time, the EPC-41 will display the alann with
the highest priority first and then the next
alann, and so on in priority order.

I. Acknowledge the alarm signal by pressing
the alarm push-button.
The flashing light then changes to steady.
2. Remedy the cause.

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.

Finding

3.4.1 Low Oil Pressure (Low Flow)

Causes Corrective actions

Broken water seal:
• Strainer in operating water high pressure side
clogged or water pressure too low.
• Seal ring in operating slide defective.
•
• Clean the strainer. Make sure that the water
pressure is 200 - 600 kPa (2 - 6 bar).
• Install a new seal ring.

•
• MV15 not opening. • Examine the electrical system and correct the fault
(open circuit, low or high voltage or dirt).

Too low oil feed. Check the oil feed pump.

Adjust the oil flow.

Strainer before the oil feed pump is clogged. Clean the strainer.

Oil feed pump has stopped. Check the oil feed pump.
Hose between MV1 and the separator is twisted. Check the hose is installed with no kinks or sharp bends.

Change over valve (V1) is in recirculation position. 1. Check the air supply to the solenoid valve block air
(MV1).
2. Check MV1.
3. Check V1.

Too low back pressure. Increase the back pressure with regulating valve RV4.

•
The correct back pressure is normally about 1.5 bar (150
kPa).

Bowl opened accidentally during operation. Check the opening water valve (MV15) for leakage.
See "Separator Manual".

•
Leakage from bowl. See "Separator Manual".

Automatic actions at alarm Automatic actions after alarm reset

Main alarm flashes. Main alarm off.

Alarm diode (PS42) flashes. Alarm diode off.

Oil feed (MV1) off. 1. MV10n.

2. Sealing water valve (MV10) on, in case of
purification mode.

N.B. In purifier mode when the control unit receives a low flow signal the oil feed is recirculated and water is
fed into the bowl to keep the water seal intact. The alarm diode only lit. Oil is again fed to the separator.
If the signal persists or repeats within the same separation sequence, the alarm function is activated.

The normal value on the display for function
8.1 and 8.2 should be 60 - 215. Outside the
range 42 - 233 indicates a fault. 000 (or a very
low value) or 255 indicates a serious 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 AID converter fault. Check it in
this order:
I. If the fuse is blown, replace it.
2. If the fuse is correct, replace the control
module.
