Specifications

1.0 Main Fire Pump Controller

The main fire pump controller shall be a factory assembled, wired and tested
unit. The controller shall be of the combined manual and automatic type de-
signed for diesel engine operation of the fire pump.

1.1 Standards, Listings & Approvals

The controller shall conform to all the requirements of the latest editions of:
· NFPA 20
· UL (UL218 and CSA C22.2 No. 14)
· FM Global (Class 1321/1323)
· City of New York for fire pump service

1.2 Enclosure
The controller components shall be housed in a NEMA Type 2 (IEC IP22) drip-
proof, wall mounted enclosure with bottom entry gland plate.

1.3 Operator Interface (HMI)

7.0” LCD color touch screen (HMI technology) operator interface powered by an
embedded microcomputer with software PLC logic. Included shall be keypad
type push-buttons for Crank from Battery #1, Crank from Battery #2, Stop and
run test.

The screen shall include menus for: Home · Alarms · Configuration · History · Ser-
vice · Manuals · Language.

The HMI shall graphically display the following: AC Power Present · Charger #1 &
#2 Charging Mode · Battery #1 & #2 Voltage and Amperage · System Pressure
· Cut In and Cut Out Pressure Settings · Starter #1 and #2 Cranking or Resting ·
Engine Running · Starting Cause · Fuel Valve Energized · Timers Operation · H-O-A
Switch Position · Actuation Mode · Controller Type · Shutdown Mode · Time & Date

Head or Meters of Water.

The HMI shall allow programming and display of: Cut In & Cut Out Pressure Set-
tings · Minimum Run Timer · Sequential Start Timer · Periodic Test Timer

The HMI allows the user to select the language of the system and download the
manual or view the manual on screen.
1.4 State and Alarm Visual Indication

1.5 Pressure and Event Recording

The system shall be capable of logging pressure data and operational events
with time/date stamp. The system shall display operational events for the life-
time of the controller and display the pressure data in text or graphical form.
The controller shall log the Date/Time of the first start-up and the controller total
power on time from that date. The controller shall log first and last statistics
for: First Setup · On Time · Engine On Time · Engine Start Count · Engine Last Start
Time · Min/Max/Average System Pressure · Min/Max/Average Pump Room Temp ·
Jockey Pump On Time · Jockey Pump Start Count · Jockey Pump Last Start Time

1.6 USB Host Controller

A USB port capable of accepting a USB Flash Memory Disk shall be provided for
downloading pressure and event logs.

1.7 Serial Communications

The controller shall feature Modbus with TCP/IP frame format and a shielded fe-
male RJ45 connector.

1.8 Pressure Sensing / Wet Parts

The controller shall be supplied with a solid state pressure transducer with a
range of 0-500 psi calibrated for 0-300 psi (0-20.7 bar) and a run test solenoid
valve. The wet parts shall be externally mounted and include a protective cover.
The pressure sensing line connection to the transducer shall be 1/2-inch FNPT.
Provisions for a redundant pressure transducer shall be provided.

1.9 Seismic Certification

The controller shall be certified to meet or exceed the requirements of the 2015
International Building Code, the 2016 California Building Code and OSHPD Special
Seismic Certification Preapproval - OSP. The controller test criteria shall be per
ICC-ES AC156 and the Seismic Parameters per ASCE 7-10 Chapter 13.
2.0 Controller Operation
On a call to start, the controller will crank from battery 1 for 15 seconds then rest
for 15 seconds before cranking on battery 2. This cranking cycle shall repeat 3
times. If a running signal is not received from the engine, the controller will alarm
“Fail To Start”.
The controller shall have the capability to schedule service reminders. The con-
troller also provides for inputting of pump flow test data, generating and dis-
playing the pump curve and permanently storing this data in memory.
Provisions shall be available for connection of external devices for Manual Re-
mote Start, Automatic Remote Start and Deluge Valve Start.
DPDT dry contacts rated 8A - 250VAC shall be provided for remote indication of:
Engine Run · Main Switch in Hand or Off · Controller Trouble (common) · Engine
Trouble (common) · Pump Room Trouble (common)
An audible alarm device shall be provided on the controller.

2.1 Manufacturer
The controller shall be a Firetrol brand.
