Introduction
EDP-C2 consists of a complete electronic concept which allows a greater control of the working
parameters resulting in increasing the lifespan of the generator and the electromagnet.
The controller is easy to install. It only needs a few connections and it is pre programmed and
ready to use.
The controller adapts to most generators (within a range of 180 volts DC to 300 volts DC of
range with a maximum of 5 amps) on field.
The amperage of the electromagnet does not affect the controller.
The system tolerates + - 10% of generator RPM without affecting the efficiency, which is very
useful for the systems that use hydraulic driven generators.
The controller`s display shows the voltage and the amperage applied to the electromagnet.
The controller also shows the modulation and the voltage applied to the field signal.
The information displayed by the controller will allow us to guide you in the adjustments at a
distance, to increase the efficiency or to help fix your lifting equipment.

INSTALLATION
For new installation see page 13
For existing installations no pulley calculations are required
Important notice: The installation must be carried out by qualified personnel, voltages can reach
300VDC. Installation must be of professional quality.
The controller is isolated from the battery he have an isolator inside,follow the connection diagram.
1- Fix the main casing to a solid surface.
2- Before drilling holes in main casing, unscrew the four corner bottom plate screws so to
protect the controller unit.
3- Make wires pass through the bottom of the casing in a way to prevent water break
through.
4- Refer to the Installation Diagram (P7) and hook-up exactly as illustrated. Re-verify hook-
up.
5- Do not close the generator`s connection box for there is a possibility that F1 and F2 or F1
and F4 need to be reversed. If you have to respect color wire.
6- Turn the ignition key to power up the controller without activating the generator. Note:
the controller must stay activated during the start up procedure to insure a good start
up; that is why it is connected to ignition.
7- The controller can display the actual isolation of electromagnetic system .
This message is for information unly push right arrow. Now you can select the next
Isolation value with up and down arrow. If the isolation go under the selected value
An alarm appear unly for inform you the evolution of system isolation . The system still
working.
8- It is now time to program the system according to your system requirements; the default
settings are for an electromagnet of 230VDC. Refer to page 9.
9- Start the engine!
10- Adjust throttle to a maximum to maintain a good hydraulic pressure.
11- Activate the command button or the upper arrow to engage magnetism.
12- Observe the activity on the display, volts, amps, modulation field volts.
13- This step should be made with a cold magnet to have a best amp in autoajustement .
Push on command switch or on up arrow to load and still the control switch on and wait
NEW SET UP message appears and release switch .
The controller will automatically adjust the magnetisation in respect to the volt parameter
He can change many parameter identified by (*).
The same parameter can be change manually after.
To improve efficiency fill out the Value Notification Table at the end of the manual (p20) and
call a technician (many parameters are to be taken into consideration).

Controller Properties
The EDP-C2 is activated with 24v manual command instead of traditional 230v
therefore making it safer for the operator. He have is own control voltage.
If the electromagnet wires disconnect the controller will automatically lower the
voltage close to 0 VDC within less than 0.5 seconds to help protection of both
operator and equipment.
The controller will activate the field current only when needed to prevent
premature wear of the generator.
The controller offers the possibility of augmenting electromagnetic efficiency by
having two power levels.
1. One called ``High Tension’’ which can generate up to 30% more voltage
than the standard electromagnet voltage during a predetermined time (3-
10 seconds) permitting to pick up more material at a time.
2. The other called ``Transport Tension’’ which is about 15% less voltage
than the standard electromagnet voltage. This tension is used to carry
objects that have already been lifted thus keeping the electromagnet
cooler.
The demagnetisation is done by polarity inversion. A first dopping voltage is
applied and followed by a second cleaning Voltage.
This two voltage are controlled parameter for each .
The controller may provide two droping modes and two Loading modes (see next
page).

Working with the Controller
Manual Drop with one button mode
1- Press briefly on the command button for less than 0.5 seconds and the controller will
activate the electromagnet.
2- Each time that you briefly apply the command button, the controller will reactivate the High
Tension for a time determined by the parameter ``T-High Tension’’.
3- To drop the metal, hold the command button again for more than 0.5 seconds.
4-
Manual Drop with two button mode
Press on the second button it will be connected to (TB IN) . It was be programmed for droping
(NO or NC) with code 72. (NO) is more safe. This parameter will deactivates the single button mode.
Auto Drop one button mode
Hold the command button for more than 0.5 seconds; as soon as the button is released the
metal will drop.
Sorting
Press on the command button for more than 0.5 seconds then drop momentarily for more than
0.5 seconds. This coordination will made a quick release and grasp of the materials.
You can repeat this step with a longer release and as often as you want without overheating the
controller.

Proper Voltage is not reached or Causes
bad magnetisation or demagnetisation -Slipping Belts
-Low RPM
-Bad Connection(s)
-Generator is
too small
-Faulty Brushes
-Insufficient Voltage
-Electronic circuit Fuses.
The voltage is good but there is a lack

Important Notice
Security Warning
The controller is only a portion of the electro mechanic lifting system and
electromagnet therefore precautions must be taken around the system by the
user to ensure the safety of all users and workers. In this type of system a bad
wire, bad fuse, generator malfunction, or other may cause the load to suddenly
drop and cause serious injuries and even death.
Note A:1
Important notice
A tension of 0 to 24 volts DC may be found at the exit of the
controller when the generator is turning even if the manual
command is not activated. This tension is due to the magnetic
activity coming from the generator.
