Fire Pump Controllers
1-2
Features
7. Interlock
On
8. Low
Pressure
9. Auto Shutdown Enabled
10. Programmable LED #1
C. The controller shall be supplied with ten (10) red
alarm LED’s to indicate the following:
1. Phase
Reversal
2. Phase
Failure
3. Fail to Start
4. Undervoltage
5. Overvoltage
6. Low Room Temperature
7. Locked
Rotor
Trip
8. Low Suction Pressure
9. Source 2 Disconnected
10. Programmable LED #2
D. The microprocessor logic board shall be available
with:
1. A USB port for transference of message history,
controller status, diagnostics, and statistics and
the ability to update firmware.
2. An optional Ethernet port for direct connection to
a computer for data transfer.
3. An optional RS485 Serial port for communica-
tion to various external software programs.
E. The controller shall be available with an embedded
web page to allow viewing of the controllers' current
status, data values, programmed set points, and his-
tory.
F. A Fail-to-Start alarm shall occur if the motor control-
ler sees less than 20% of the motor full load amps af-
ter an adjustable time delay of 1-90 seconds.
G. Locked rotor protection shall be provided. After a trip
condition and restoration of power, the LCD display
shall indicate “LOCKED ROTOR TRIP”.
H. A sequential start timer and weekly test timer shall
be provided as standard.
I.
A restart time delay of two (2) seconds shall be pro-
vided to allow the residual voltage of the motor to
decay prior to re-starting the motor. In the event that
the pump motor continues to run after a request to
stop, then the controller must display a fail to stop
message to indicate this condition.
J.
Overvoltage (5-20%) and undervoltage (5-30%)
sensing and alarming shall be provided as standard.
K. The controller shall be supplied with interlock and
shutdown circuits as standard. A flashing green LED
shall indicate an interlock on condition.
L. Where shutdown of the pump(s) due to low suction
pressure is required, it shall be accomplished without
the addition of a separate panel or enclosure. The
LCD display shall indicate low suction shutdown.
Resetting of the condition shall be automatic or ma-
nual as selected by the user.
M. Means shall be provided to test the operation of all
LED’s to ensure their functionality.
7. Programming
Menu
A. The programming menu shall have the ability to ena-
ble an entry password.
B. The programming menu shall be limited to two (2) le-
vels of password protection.
C. The controller shall have three (3) languages as a
standard, English, French, and Spanish, with the
ability to add a fourth language.
D. The programming menu shall be grouped into 6 main
menu headings as follows:
1. Regional
Settings
2. Pressure
Settings
3. Timer
Values
4. Alarm Set points
5. Input/Output
Menu
6. System
Configuration (password protected)
8. Pressure
Sensor
A. A solid-state 4-20mA pressure sensor shall be pro-
vided. The pressure Start and Stop points shall be
adjustable in increments of one (1) PSI. A low pres-
sure pre-alarm, indicated with a flashing green LED,
shall denote a potential pump starting condition and
will remain lit once the pump has started to indicate
the starting cause.
9. Custom
Inputs/Outputs
A. The controller shall come standard with nine (9) fu-
ture inputs, two (2) future LED indicators, and one (1)
future output, with the ability to add up to another 8
outputs via optional relay boards.
B. The user shall be able to program the future in-
puts/outputs through the main programming menu.
C. The inputs shall be selectable based on the following
criteria:
1. User selected message or thirteen (13) prede-
termined messages.
2. Energize the common alarm relay when the in-
put is received.
3. Link to a future relay and/or LED indicator.
4. Alarm latched until reset.
5. Normally open or closed input.
6. On-delay
timer.
D. The LED indicators shall be selectable based on the
following criteria:
1. Indication based on a minimum of twelve (12)
predetermined alarms or a custom input.
E. The future relays shall be selectable based on the
following criteria:
1. Output based on a minimum of twenty-seven
(27) predetermined alarms, controller status or a
custom input.
2. Latched until reset.
3. Energized under normal conditions.
4. On or off delay timer on the output.
