13. Field Failure Alarm Simulation
Ensure that CB1 and/or CB2 are in the
ON
position
prior to applying power to the printer (refer to
nameplate above printer).
Ensure that both CB1 and CB2 are in the
ON
position and that there is AC power to the chargers.
Place the controller in either the
AUTO
or
MANUAL
mode.
13.1 Charger Failure
Remove AC power to the diesel controller panel.
After a delay of 30 seconds, the alarm will sound
and both Charger #1 Failure and Charger #2
Failure indicating LED's will display. Or, jumper
11 & 22, 11 & 23;
[ 11 is Battery (negative)].
After test, reapply AC power to continue testing of
other alarms. To reset alarm go to
OFF
mode and
then back into
AUTO
or
MANUAL
mode.
13.2 Battery Failure
Turn
OFF
CB1. Alarm will sound and Battery
Failure #1 will indicate in the display.
To reset alarm go to OFF mode and then back into
AUTO
or
MANUAL
mode.
Turn
ON
CB1 and turn CB2
OFF
. Alarm will
sound and Battery Failure #2 will indicate in the
display. Reset alarms as per above.
13.3 Low Oil Pressure
Jumper 4 & 11. Alarm will sound and indicate on
the display. To silence alarm, controller must be in
the
OFF
mode.
If the engine is wired to the panel
and the engine itself is NOT running, the LOW OIL
PRESSURE alarm will automatically alarm after
the 15 second delay, with terminals 2 and 11
jumpered.
13.4 High Engine Temperature
Jumper 5 & 11. Alarm will sound and indicate on
display. To silence alarm, controller must be in the
OFF
mode.
Note that the LOW OIL PRESSURE
alarm will also indicate if terminal 4 is wired from
the engine to the panel and the engine is not
physically running.
13.5 Engine Fail to Start
(ALL ENGINES EXCEPT CATERPILLAR)
1.
Disconnect field wires #9 & #10 on Fire Pump
Controller & initiate automatic start (Place
controller in
TEST
mode). Note that actual
engine will not crank thus reducing wear and
tear on its starters and batteries.
Caterpillar Engines: Install a wire jumper
between terminals 1 & 12 and initiate
automatic start.
2.
Allow pressure to drop and begin cranking
sequence.
3.
Wait 180 seconds to allow for 3 cranks per
battery (15 seconds cranking, 15 seconds rest,
6 times).
4.
Alarm will sound and
Fail To Start
indicator
will display. To silence alarm, place controller
in the
OFF
mode.
13.6 Engine Overspeed
Mechanically close speed switch relay on the
diesel engine or jumper 3 & 11. Alarm will sound,
Engine Overspeed
indicator will display, and the
fuel stop
relay will energize.
To silence alarm, place controller in the
OFF
mode.
13.7 Other Alarms (Pump Room Alarms)
To test pump room alarms, such as Low Fuel, Low
Room Temp etc., place a jumper between terminal
11 and the corresponding alarm terminal input.
NOTE:
– For all engine alarms, the Engine Trouble Alarm
relay will energize.
– Do not put an AC voltage on these contacts.
NOTE:
Do not turn off both CB1 and CB2 simultaneously.
Otherwise power will be lost to the controller card.
NOTE:
For the following tests, while controller is in the
AUTO
or
MANUAL
mode, place a JUMPER
between terminal 2 & 11. This will give an
ENGINE RUN
signal to the controller. Or, you can
run the engine.
NOTE:
There is an inherent 15 second delay for detecting
alarms after an
ENGINE RUN
signal.
NOTE:
The Pump Room Trouble relay will also activate.
