e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Module Connection Descriptions Sensor #1 Input (emc-1P & emc-1V) This input is designed to allow non SAE J1939 connected zones to be measured if required. The input accepts a standard NTC thermistor. This input should be referenced to the Signal Ground (0V) on the connector. The GUI is used to select / de-select and set-up the signal from this additional input and how it effects the fan speed control.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Fan Reverse Switch Input (Momentary contact) This is a momentary signal input and only required that the input be pulled to +5V or Supply Power Supply for approx. 500mS to initiate the reverse sequence settings, this input is debounced in the module software to avoid false triggers. This input may normally be referenced to chassis ground Fire Detect Input: (emc-1P only) Signal input must be pulled to +5V or Supply Power by the fire event.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Serial Communications Controller monitoring, health checks, diagnostics and set-up can be accessed through the supplied GUI. This program will operate on PC using a Windows® based operating system and is password protected to maintain module parameter integrity by only allowing authorized users to access different levels of the controller settings.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Loading the emc-1P or emc-1V GUI onto Host PC Both controllers are set-up via a common GUI interface for ease of use. GUI P/N: 023-00264 The PC Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a self-extracting and installing program that will reside on the chosen host PC hard drive. It is recommended that the user allow the defaults to be used for easy future update installation, but the option is given to allow the user to choose where the program should be located.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Controller adjustments and Monitor After program entries cycle power to ensure changes are accepted by the unit. GUI Menu Options File -> Read file or Save File The user has two simple options available: 1) Read settings from file. This option allows the user to search for and find preciously saved settings files (*.DAT) and to load them into a new controller or to reset a controller to a previous version e.t.c. 2) Save settings to file.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface -> Find Controller Will search the com ports, find the controller, and read settings. Helpful if you have lost communication and or want to do a clean read. Password Protection Enter Password Password entry is started by clicking the ‘Password’ option in the top bar of the GUI screen. This will open a box to enter the passwords. Passwords are ‘cAsE SeNsitivE’ so ensure you have the ‘Caps Lock’ off if required.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Menu Option ->Help Help View Help This option directs you to emc-1 manual that is part of the installation package. You may add your own docs by adding word.doc or other .pdf files to the same folder. (c:\HCT Products\Fan Drives\emc-1) Print Parameter This will print all settings to your PC default printer. Or print to a text file, tab delimited. The text file may be viewed with Notepad, Word, or Excel.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface GUI software – Main screen (Dashboard) The software has been designed such that there is NO nesting of menus so that it is easy to navigate around the different screens without getting lost or having multiple windows open at any one time. The five main screens are available via ‘Click Tabs’ from the ‘Dashboard’ and are: The ‘Dashboard’ tab provides a quick user overview of the controller operation, system status and condition of the J1939 data Bus.

e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface General Settings Selection Tab -> General Settings On each tab changes must be ‘Applied’ to take effect. Cancel will restore values. Unit Settings Unit Disabled The controller is shipped in a disabled state and should be enabled by the OEM or user by using the GUI. Once this button is selected, the date from the enabling PC is taken and used as the ‘Born Date’ when warranty starts.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Output Settings Refer to the requirements set by the fan manufacture for the following 3 adjustments: 1. Minimum PWM% (0-100%) output 2. Maximum PWM% (0-100%) output 3. PWM Freq ( 33-500Hz): This is the ‘dither’ or operating frequency for the PWM% output.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Input Settings Selection Tab -> SAE J1939 & Discrete Inputs Settings do not take effect until Applied Enable J1939 This option MUST be clicked if the unit is to understand the J19349 Bus information. If this button is NOT clicked, all J1939 features are disabled in the controller. Note: If J1939 messages are enabled, the RPM must be above minimum RPM setting for fans to work in the forward or reverse direction.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Sensor setup Allows for a switch input or a thermistor input and name for either. Name is useful in data logging and on the Dashboard monitor. As a Thermistor input: Check the Thermistor box, then select profile type from pull down menu, and enter the Start, Maximum, and Alarm temperature values, then Apply Changes. As a Switch input: Check the Switch box, then select Active High or Active Low for the input.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Error Information Log Selection Tab -> Alarm Condition This page shows the user information that will help to track and where necessary, fix intermittent opens and short circuits on any of the wires used to connect to the sensors, switches or the coils in the system. The program shows where the error has been seen, even if the error has cleared itself.
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface Factory Information Selection Tab -> Factory Information This page allows the user to view information concerning the controller serial number, GUI Part number, BIOS and Graphical user Interface (GUI) software versions as well as the ‘Born Date,’ which is taken from the local PC used to activate the module. This information should always be available when requesting support so that HCT personnel know the level of controller with which you are working.

e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface On Site Testing If the set up procedure does not achieve the desired results, double check the wiring and perform the following tests. Record the test results. Tools Required: A PC running Windows XP, Vista, or Windows7 and the correct emc-1 software are required for initial setup, programming or observation of the controllers operation through the RS232 port (directly or via a USB to serial converter cable).
e-Fan Cooling System Controllers with J1939 Interface If the e-Fan Operation is Erratic: Electrical interference on the control lines can cause erratic behavior if it is strong enough. Observe the control inputs on the PC. If noise greater than a few percent is noticed on an unchanging PULSE IN or COMMAND IN input, or if the digital inputs are toggling, try changing the routing of the control wires to see if the problem changes. Power supply interference or brown outs can also cause erratic behavior.
