OPERATION
Start-Up Procedure
NOTE: FIRE system must be in ARMED state before proceeding.
1. Once all required connections have been completed as indicated on the installation schematic,
startup can begin. Apply power to the panel. The ECPM03 board and the HMI(s) will power up
and beep. If that is not the case, check all power connections. Verify that there is no alarm
message displayed on any HMI. If there are alarms present, you can press the MUTE button to
silence the alarm and then work to resolve them.
The HMI has 4 buttons; function is displayed adjacent to them on the LCD. These functions will
change depending on the status of the panel. If no text is adjacent to the button, it does not have
a function.
Typically LIGHTS and FANS functions
are shown on the bottom 2 buttons.
The status of those elements is shown
by the shading used inside the box
associated with the function. An empty
box around the FAN function means
that the FANS are turned OFF. A dark
box around the FAN function means
that the FANS are turned ON. The
same applies to LIGHTS.
Note: For the rest of the document, the
term button will be used to refer to
either the actual button or the function
associated with it.
The center two lines of the LCD are reserved for displaying informational or fault messages
When a fault occurs, an audible alarm is triggered and a message is displayed on the HMI(s).
The Audible Alarm can be silenced by pushing the Mute button that appears on the top right
corner.
2. Press the LIGHTS button on the HMI to energize the hood lights. If the lights do not come on,
make sure the light bulbs are installed and/or check the lighting circuit.
3. Press the FANS button on the HMI to energize the fans. Also press the PREP OFF button to run
all exhaust and supply fans.
4. If cooking appliances are connected to an Electric gas valve controlled by the control panel, the
gas valve can be turned ON by pressing the GAS RESET button on the top right corner of the
HMI. The icon will only show if the Gas Valve Option is turned ON under the ECPM03 menu:
Configuration / Misc. Options / Set Gas Valve. , or if a CORE fire protection system is enabled.
5. Turn the Fans off. Turn on the cooking appliance(s) and allow them to reach idle temperature.
The fans should automatically activate as the cooking appliance(s) heats up. The factory set
activation point for duct temperature override of the fan switch is 10 degrees above kitchen room
temperature. Each duct temperature sensor has its own temperature offset setting. These values
should be adjusted based on the cooking appliances and cooking load. Refer to paragraph (e)
under the Configuration section for further details.
