OilGear EPC 300 Series Quick Start Manual

Before Installation of your new EPC completely read this document.

Revision Notice:

The legacy EPC1 and EPC2 (EPC 100 series) have been replaced by the EPC3 (EPC 300 series).

EPC Software Notice:

Before installing this EPC amplifier, you must have the current version of the PC Configuration Software. If
using an older software version to configure or download previous software configurations to an EPC you
may lose control of the device you are controlling! That could result in damage to the equipment and/or
personal injury.
The Oilgear USB stick contains revised documents and the new EPC PC interface for Windows. Previous
versions of the PC Interface will NOT work with the current EPC3, but the new interface should be backwards
compatible to communicate to EPC1 and EPC2 units.

Wiring Changes:

The wiring for the new EPC3 is similar, in that every pin on the legacy EPC1 and EPC2 is also on the EPC3,
although the pin designation has changed. Please reference the label on the right-hand side of the module
or the chart at the end of this guide:
For example J1-1, +24VDC, corresponds to the old style pin (1). J1-2, GND, corresponds to the older style
pin (2).
The new pins are configured to match the location of the old style – i.e. legacy pins 1-8 route to J1-J3, which
are located on the top of the module, while legacy pins 11-20 route to J4-J6, which are located on the bottom
of the module.
