1. Device description
EPS64 is designed for failure monitoring in high power distribution board. On its inputs it supervises failure status of
selected parts, shows the information on the display and acts on failure events by mechanical outputs which
disconnect controlled parts.
2. Output relays
Device has 8 output relays which are used for different and specified purposes:
• Relay 1 – acts at HARD failure and disconnects high voltage circuits
• Relay 2 – acts at SOFT failure and HARD failure and turns the failure alarm on. When contact changes from on to
off or at any failure event the relay 2 is disconnected for defined time. This time is indicated at bottom righ display
corner. After this time elapses, relay 2 turns back to initial position in case that there is no another failure event.
• Relay 3 – 1st channel, disconnects the vacuum contactor
• Relay 4 – 2nd channel, disconnects the vacuum contactor
• Relay 5 – 3rd channel, disconnects the vacuum contactor
• Relay 6 – 4th channel, disconnects the vacuum contactor
3. Failure status types

There are up to 10 failure statuses which can be defined in EPS64. To each one the 1 till 6 inputs can be related. In
total up to 60 independent inputs can be controlled. EPS64 knows four types of failure.
• CONTACT
Monitors contact status only (fuse off etc).
• HARD ERROR
Defines critical failure in the system or at activation of safety contacts at fundamental parts of the system (cpacitor
pressure sensor, opened door etc). While the error is identified the text “ERR” blinks at particular input position and
Relay 1 and particular output relay turns on. Hard error has to be canceled by service stuff only. Even after service
stuff repairs reasons which caused hard error the display still signalizes “ERR” status until the test of system is made.
If the reasons for hard error were repaired the “ERR” status is replaced by status “OK”.
• SOFT ERROR
This is the error which can disappear during the time by itself (reactor over-temperature, cabinet temperature etc).
When error is identified the text “ERR” starts blink at particular input position. If error disappears, ERR text stops blink
and lights on the display permanently until it is canceled by pressing the button TEST. During soft error presence the
relay 2 turns on and particular output relay acts too.
• SOFT / HARD ERROR
The same as SOFT failure but with change to HARD failure after some time of failure presence. It is good to use for
events which longer presence can caused device damage. Such type of failure is canceled after complete system
test.

4. Connection

5. Device operation
Device is operated cursor buttons ▲ and ▼ which is normally used for moving in the menu and changing the
parameter settings. Parameters setting is activated by pressing the button SET as well as this buttons is used for
confirmation of newly set values.
Button TEST is used in monitoring mode for user confirmation about error noticing. In the configuration mode it
represents button cancel and closes menu.
During standard operation the display back-light turns off after 1 minute without any action on any button. When there
is any action the display back-light turns on again.
Display back-light is used also for EPS64 warming. When the ambient temperature falls under 0°C, back-light turns
on automatically.
6. Monitoring and testing mode

EPS64 monitoring mode has three screens which show the system status. For switching between these screens use
the cursor buttons ▲ and ▼.
While any failure is present the device shows the screen which identify the failure and display backlight is blinking
until the any button is pressed.
6.1. Monitoring screen 1

At the first monitoring screen information about electrical parameters in particular phases are shown. If the level
monitoring is enabled, then in case that measured parameter is in the limit, symbol OK is shown next to displayed
value. If the measured parameter comes over the limit, the symbol OK is replaced by blinking ERR and icon of
appropriate output will show its state.

Second monitoring screen shows the list of first 5 failure types assign for all 6 outputs. In the last column is show the
status of Relay 2 for each output. After the relay 2 is disconnected by failure event, beneath the relay symbol the bar
time indicator will show remaining time to repeated relay 2 connection.


Thirds monitoring screen shows the next 5 failure types assign for all 6 outputs. The behavior of that screen is exactly
the same as for screen 2.
7. Configuration mode
Configuration mode is used for EPS64 parameters setting. Keep the button SET for at least 5 seconds to enter the
configuration mode. After that the request for password entering appears on the display. If there was not entered
correct password the configuration parameters can be seen but without any possible change of them.
Main menu structure:
Parameter Description Factory setting Setting range
Configure EPS64 ► ►
Transmission ratio ► ►
Configure inputs ► ►
Phase test settings ► ►
Change password Password for access to configuration mode 1234 0001 ... 9999
Reset Reset to the factory setting -
7.1. Configure EPS64

Fundamental parameters are configured in this submenu.
Channel count Number of operated outputs channel 6 1 ... 6
Delay relay Delay for repeated connection of output relay 10 min 3 ... 20 min
Input delay Minimum duration time for input signal presence 5s 0,1 ... 25 s
Undervoltage Defines the under-voltage decrease level in percents 0% 0 ... 50 %
Tripping time Duration of under-voltage presence for event detection 0,2 0,2 ... 1 s

7.2. Transmission ratio

This submenu defines transformer ratio for voltage and current measuring transformers.
Voltage converter 1 1 ... 9999
Current converter 1 1 ... 9999
It is important to have in mind that the value which is set, is ratio itself. It means that, for example, if
primary nominal current of current transformer is 6000 V and secondary is 100 V then set parameter
value is 60.
7.3. Configure inputs

In this submenu the failure type and their relation to particular inputs is configured.
Errors properties ► ►
Inputs selection ► ►
7.4. Error properties

In the menu Error properties select the input group number, represented by icons at upper part, by buttons ▲ or ▼
and confirm by button SET. (By input group is comprehended al particular number inputs for all output channels. For
example the input 1 definition at the error properties menu defines type of input 1 at each group of 10 inputs for
particular channel.)
After the input is selected, the icon of failure event will be assign by choosing it from bottom part of the screen. Use
again the cursor buttons and button SET for selecting the right icon.
Once the icon is chosen it appears at the input group number. On the screen will appear also configurable
parameters of chosen failure. For moving among the configurable parameters use cursor buttons. When the
configuration is finished save it by pressing the button SET on the <save>.
INPUT TYPE – available in options normally open (N_OPEN) and normally close (N_CLOSE)
STATE TYPE – available in options CONTACT or ERROR. While it is set as a CONTACT there is no more settings.
When it is defined as an ERROR, there the type of failure has to be defined (SOFT, HARD).

If the SOFT failure was selected the it is possible set also the time for SOFT failure becoming to be a HARD error.
Option <NONE> says that the SOFT error newer becomes a HARD one. Otherwise it is possible adjust the time for
error type change from 10 s till 40 minutes.
7.5. Inputs selection

EPS64 has 10 inputs for each output channel.
7.6. Phase test settings

Measured voltage Fundamental voltage value for voltage level control 230 V 100 ... 690 V

Undervoltage Limit for under-voltage drop from fundamental value 0
Overvoltage Limit for over-voltage rise from fundamental value 0
Overcurrent Limit for over-current rise from fundamental value 0
THDU Maximum allowed level of voltage harmonic distortion 0 0 ... 30 %
THDI Maximum allowed level of current harmonic distortion 0 0 ... 150 %
Tripping time Minimum duration of measured parameter event 10 s 1 ... 240 s
7.7. Change password

EPS64 configuration menu is protected by password. Although other BMR instruments protected by password can
have open access to configuration menu the EPS64 require password always. Default factory password is 1234 and

it can be changed by entering the new one in configuration mode.
After changing the password save it carefully. If the password is forgotten EPS64 can be unblocked only by producer
properties.
7.8. Reset
By confirmation of parameters reset the EPS64 erase all user settings to the factory settings. Factory setting values
are written in the parameter table.
8. Fast commissioning
For fast start of EPS64 operation there are 8 steps for shortest commissioning.
1. Press the button SET for at least 5 second to enter the configuration menu and set the password 1234.
2. Set the number of controlled outputs channels, delay of relay output reconnection and minimum event duration on
inputs
3. Set the transformer ratios for voltage and current transformers
4. Define alarm events and their parameters
5. For safety reasons change the configuration menu password and keep it at safe place
6. Finish configuration mode and test system by pressing the button TEST
7. Disconnect the EPS64
