The installer is responsible for adequate protection of the fire pump controller components against metallic
debris or drilling chips. Failure to do so may cause injuries to personnel, damage the controller and
subsequently void warranty.
Energy Consumption
Standby power: 10W
Sizing
Incoming power terminals on the controller are suitable to accept wire based on that selection with insulation not less
than 60°C. (Refer to terminal diagram for terminal sizes.)
The electrical wiring between the fire pump controller and the pump motor shall be in rigid, intermediate, or liquid
tight flexible metal conduit or Type MI cable and meet the requirements of NFPA 70 National Electrical Code or other
local codes.
The number of conductors required varies depending on the model of starter:
3-wires plus ground sized at 125% of full load current for models FTA1000, FTA1800, FTA1930 and FTA1500.
6-wires plus ground sized at 125% of 50% of the motor full load current for FTA1250 model.
6-wires plus ground sized at 125% of 58% of the motor full load current for FTA1300 and FTA1350 models.
Incoming Power Connections
Incoming normal power is to be connected to terminals located on the disconnecting means IS.
- For 3 phases motor: identified L1-L2 and L3.
- For single phase motor: identified L1 and L3
Motor Connections
Motor wires shall be connected to terminals identified by:
- T1-T2 and T3 located on main contactor (1M) for models FTA1000, FTA1800, FTA1930 and FTA1500
- T1-T2 and T3 located on contactor (1M) and T7-T8 and T9 located on contactor (2M) for model FTA1250
- T1-T2 and T3 located on contactor (1M) and T6-T4 and T5 located on contactor (2M) for models FTA1300 and
FTA1350
It is the responsibility of the installer to obtain connection information on the motor and to assure that the motor is
connected as per the motor manufacturer recommendations. Failure to do so may cause injuries to personnel,
damage the motor and/or the controller and subsequently void warranty on both items.
