The controller is built in accordance with the latest edition of the EN-12845 Standard, and also based on the National
Fire Protection Association standard for the Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, NFPA No.20 (Centrifugal Fire
Pumps 2013 Edition).
This controller is designed to be used with non-approved engine, using the control by analog senders (Magnetic
pickup, oil pressure and engine temperature senders, all shown using on-screen gauges on the ViZiTouch. Find
more information on the senders section of this manual.
Location
The controller shall be located as close as practical to the engine/motor it controls and shall be within sight of the
engine/motor. The controller shall be located or protected such that it will not be damaged by water escaping from
pump or pump connections. Current carrying parts of the controller shall be not less than 12 in. (305 mm) above the
floor level.
The controller is suitable for use in locations subject to a moderate degree of moisture, such as a damp basement.
The pump room ambient temperature shall be between 39°F (4°C) and 104°F (40°C) (If a temperature option is
included, see the rating label for maximum temperature).
The standard controller enclosure is rated IP 55. It is the installer's responsibility to insure that either the standard
enclosure meets the ambient conditions or that an enclosure with an appropriate rating has been provided.
Controllers must be installed inside a building and they are not designed for outside environment. The paint color
may change if the controller is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long period of time.
Mounting
The fire pump controller shall be mounted in a substantial manner on a single incombustible supporting structure.
Wall mounted controllers shall be attached to the structure or wall using all four (4) mounting ears provided on the
controller with hardware designed to support the weight of the controller at a height not less than 12 in. (305 mm)
above floor level. Floor mounted controllers shall be attached to the floor using all holes provided on the mounting
feet with hardware designed to support the weight of the controller. The mounting feet provide the necessary 12 in.
(305 mm) clearance for current carrying parts.
Storage
If the controller is not installed and energized immediately, Tornatech recommend following the instructions from the
chapter 3 of the NEMA ICS 15 standard.
Wiring and Connections
Electrical Connections
A licensed electrician must supervise the electrical connections. The dimension drawings show the area suitable for
incoming power and motor connections. No other location shall be used. Only watertight hub fittings shall be used
when entering the cabinet to preserve the IP rating of the cabinet. 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.
