Installing Mounting The 11, 15 and 22Kw drives share the same dimensions: Please ask Sema for details on the larger units: Front Rear Side 8.00mm 14.00mm 430mm 450mm 110mm 252mm 171mm The controller must be mounted vertically with sufficient clearance above and below the drive to allow air to circulate freely.
The picture above shows the control terminals of the EPCP. The terminals are numbered from 1 to 28 and their functions are shown on page 8. The wiring and links shown in the picture are installed by Sema and are necessary for the correct functioning of the controller. Please do not remove or alter any of these.

Emergency Mode: If the Transducer fails the EPCP will stop. This is done to prevent possible over pres- surising of the system. Because a Transducer isn’t a device which is readily available in all parts of the world an Emergency Mode has been provided to enable the unit to run from a pressure switch. To activate Emergency Mode: Turn off the power and wait until the screen is dark .

14.) Control Method. By default this is set to ‘Conventional’. Ripple control is a Sema Ltd., invention which intro- duces a small pressure ripple into the pressure set-point and measures the time that it takes for the pressure to drop to deter- mine is there is sufficient flow for the pump to be kept running.
If a fault occurs that stops the controller running the backlight on the screen will flash rapidly and the fault description and fault number will be displayed. Please write down this number as it will provide Sema Ltd., with important information about the cause of the fault.
EMC Compliance The current range of Sema product is based on the Invertek Drives range of variable speed drives. Units of 7.5kw and below use the E3 series of drives and units above 7.5kw use the P2 series. Manuals and compliance information for these drives can be found at www.sema.co.nz or scan the QR codes below to be taken straight to the relevant document.
