This video describes the basic navigation of the local HMI screen on the ECPM03 Printed Circuit Board. The local HMI screen has limited functionality. The ECPM03 is the most common circuit board utilized for hood control and fire system integration, starting in 2012 and lasting through 2025. Most options for the ECPM03 can be adjusted on the Primary HMI, usually located on the front of the hood or hood control box.
This video describes the wiring of 120 V AC electrical gas control valves. Gas valve control via the hood control panel is required in most jurisdictions in the United States due to International Mechanical Code, as well as NFPA 96 requirements that the gas to cooking equipment be disabled in the event of a fire system activation. This video is not applicable to 24 V DC controlled gas valves.
This video describes how to wire the power and pulse width modulated control signal from a kitchen ventilation hood ECP to an exhaust or supply fan which utilizes a PWM controlled EC Motor.
This video describes what causes the Overload Tripped Fault on an ECP, and how to manually reset these faults.
This video describes the wiring of 120 V AC shunt trip breaker for an ECP. Shunt Trip Breaker activation via the hood control panel is required in
most jurisdictions in the United States due to International Mechanical
Code, as well as NFPA 96 requirements that the electrical sources to cooking equipment
be disabled in the event of a fire system activation.
These two videos describe the wiring of hood temperature sensors (thermistors) to the kitchen hood ECP. For both safety reasons to ensure hoods are running when equipment is producing heat, smoke and grease, as well as for energy saving purposes, International Mechanical Code requires that hoods must automatically activate when cooking equipment are enabled. Due to the complexities of interlocking cooking equipment with fans directly, the use of temperature sensors is common. Additionally sensors are often wired into make up air plenums to monitor the incoming air into the space to ensure that equipment is operating as intended.
