6.2.10 Printer Deviation
This value determines how often to print system
pressure fluctuations as programmed by the user.
In effect, it performs as a chart recorder.
For example, if 10 PSI is programmed, each time
the system pressure fluctuates by 10 PSI, up or
down, the actual pressure is recorded in memory
and printed, tagged with a date and time. This
method avoids continual, time-based printing of
unnecessary pressure values.
6.2.11 Current Pressure
Allows the user to view the actual pressure during
programming of the Diesel Controller.
6.2.12 Sequential Start
This parameter allows programming of a start
delay after a start request. To bypass the start delay,
set the parameter to zero.
The programmable range is:0-300 sec
6.2.13 Stop Mode
If ‘Set for Manual’, once started, the engine MUST
be stopped manually by depressing the STOP
pushbutton located on the flange, regardless of the
starting cause. If ‘Set for Auto’, the RPT becomes
operative.
6.2.14 AC Failure Start
If ‘Enabled’, the controller will automatically start
upon the loss of AC power. There will be a non-
adjustable delay of 30 seconds before the AC
failure is detected. An additional delay can be set if
desired. Time range is between 0 & 300 seconds. If
‘disabled’ AC power failure will have no affect on
the starting of the engine.
6.2.15 Print Routine
If selected for Auto, the messages will print
immediately without any user intervention.
If selected for Manual, the messages will be stored
in the controller’s memory and will print once the
TIME/PRINT key is pushed and held for 3
seconds.
To avoid paper build up inside the enclosure, it is
recommended that the print mode be selected as
‘MANUAL’ during normal operation of the
controller.
6.2.16 Print Status
If selected as ‘NO’, a Status report will not print
when exiting the programming menu. If selected as
‘YES’, after exiting the program mode, and
pressing the Time/Print button for 3 seconds, the
programmed parameters and selected controller
readings will be printed. This is most helpful
during and after commissioning of the Fire Pump
Controller. A sample status printout is shown in
section 14.
6.2.17 Select Mode or Press Menu
If programming of the unit is complete pressing the
mode keys will put the controller back into
operation.

Alarm Signals (Annunciator
Panel)
Each FD100 Diesel Controller is equipped with all
the alarms as shown in Appendix A. Unused
alarms can be activated at any time. Refer to the
schematic supplied with the FD100 for alarm
connections.
Refer to Appendix A: “Annunciator Alarms”
affixed inside the enclosure, which describes each
alarm, method of resetting, associated terminal
reference number, common trouble alarm and print
out. Section 14 describes the “Print Mode”.
7.1
Battery Failure
There are two annunciators on the alarm panel for,
“Battery #1 Failure” and “Battery #2 Failure”. The
alarm is activated during the cranking cycle when
the controller detects a weak or discharged battery,
i.e. 67% of rated voltage, or less, or whenever a
battery cable is disconnected.
7.2 Charger Failure
There are two annunciators on the alarm panel for,
“Charger #1 Failure” and “Charger #2 Failure”.
The alarm is activated when the supply power to
the charger is lost or when the charger
malfunctions (alarm contacts are fed into the
controller from the charging unit). The engine
continues to run. To avoid nuisance power failures,
a 20 second delay is built in to the charger failure
alarm actuation circuit.
7.3 Engine Run
This annunciator illuminates when the controller
receives a running signal from the diesel engine.
7.4 Engine Overspeed
An “Engine Overspeed” alarm will shutdown the
engine regardless of the start condition –
in all
modes.
The signal is sent from the engine to the
controller.
7.5 Fail To Start
After 6 cranking attempts, three attempts per
battery, the “Fail To Start” annunciator will
