WARNING |
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Personal injury could occur. Ensure all power is disconnected before
installing or servicing this equipment.
These instructions are intended to assist in the understanding of the installation and operation of the FTA1100. Read through these instructions thoroughly prior to connecting the controller. If there are any questions unanswered in these instructions, please contact the local Firetrol representative or factory service department.
INTRODUCTION
Firetrol® FTA1100combinedautomaticandmanualdieselenginefirepumpcontrollersareintended for starting and monitoring fire pump diesel engines. They are available for use with 12 or 24 volt negativegroundsystemsusingleadacidorNickel-Cadmiumbatteries. FTA1100firepumpcontrollers are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., in accordance with UL218, Standard for Fire Pump Controllers, CSA, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment (cUL), and approved by Factory Mutual. They are built to meet or exceed the requirements of the approving authorities as well as NEMA and the latest editions of NFPA 20, Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
MOUNTING CONTROLLER—
Note—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine controller mounting location. Controller must be mounted within view of the engine.
Tools and Materials (all mounting):
1.Assortment of common hand tools of the type used to service electromechanical equipment.
2.Hole (conduit) punch.
3.Drill for drilling wall/floor anchor holes.
4.Hand level.
5.Tape measure.
6.Four (4) anchors with bolts and washer—if wall mount. Six (6) anchors, bolts and washers—if floor/ base mount.
Wall Mount—
Procedure—
1.Locate bottom mounting brackets and hardware.
2.Inspect for damage.
3.Gently lay the controller on its back, using protection so the paint is not damaged. It is best to lay the controller in a location that is out of the way from actual mounting location.
4.Attach each bracket to the bottom of the enclosure using the supplied hardware . Tighten nuts securely.
WARNING |
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY |
Controller cannot stand upright with the bottom |
mounting brackets attached. Leave laying on its |
back until the wall anchors are ready for controller |
installation. |
Note—Refer to the controller dimension drawing for necessary mounting dimensions.
The controller is wall mounted by using four (4) wall anchors, 2 anchors for the top ears and 2 anchors for the bottom mounting brackets. The ears and brackets are dimensionally on the same center-line for ease in mounting.
1
5.Using either the dimension print or by measuring the distance between the center lines of the 2 lower bracket slots, transcribe this dimension onto the wall. Note: The bottom edge of the enclosure should be a minimum of 12” (305 mm.) from the floor in case flooding of the pump room occurs.
6.Drill and put 2 anchors into the wall for the 2 lower bracket slot mounts.
7.Mark on the wall, the location of the holes in the upper mounting ears.
8.Drill and put 2 anchors into wall for the upper mounts.
9.Install bolts and washers in 2 lower anchors, leaving a gap between the washer and wall.
10.Lift the controller and place the bottom mounting slots down onto the 2 lower anchor bolts. Do not tighten bolts.
11.Align holes in upper mounting ears and install 2 bolts and washers in anchors.
12.Shim anchors as necessary to ensure rear of enclosure is vertically level and enclosure is not stressed. Tighten all 4 anchor bolts.
13.Check to be sure enclosure door opens and closes freely and that enclosure is level.
Floor/Base Plate Mount—
Procedure–
MOUNTING LEGS (OPTIONAL - IF ORDERED)
Procedure—
1.Unpack legs and mounting hardware.
2.Inspect legs for damage.
3.Gently lay the controller on its back, using protection so the paint is not damaged. It is best to lay the controller in a location that is out of the way from actual mounting location.
4.Attach each leg to the bottom of the enclosure using the provided hardware . Tighten nuts securely.
5.After legs are securely attached, stand the controller up on its legs for mounting. Each leg has 3 holes on the bottom for anchoring to the floor or base plate.
WARNING |
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY |
Controller is not free standing! Controller must be |
secured to floor or wall surface before opening |
door or operating. |
Note—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine controller mounting location. Refer to the controller dimension print for necessary mounting dimensions.
The controller is floor/base plate mounted by using the 3 pre-drilled holes in each leg. The holes are dimensionally on the same center line for ease in mounting.
6.Using either the dimension print or by measuring distance between the center lines of the holes on one leg, transcribe these dimensions onto the floor/base plate.
7.Drill 3 holes in floor/base plate for anchoring the leg.
8.Mark location of holes for opposite leg and drill 3 more holes.
9.Secure controller to floor/base plate with bolts and washers and tighten.
10.Check to be sure enclosure door opens freely and that enclosure is level.
MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Important Precautions—
Prior to making any field connections:
1.Open door of enclosure and inspect internal components and wiring for any signs of frayed or loose wires or other visible damage.
2
2.Verify that the controller information is what is required on the project:
•Firetrol catalog number
•Engine voltage and polarity of grounding
•Incoming line voltage and frequency
•Maximum system pressure
3.Project electrical contractor must supply all necessary wiring for field connections in accordance with the National Electrical Code, local electrical code and any other authority having jurisdiction.
4.Refer to the appropriate field connection drawing for wiring information.
Procedure—
All engine connections, remote alarm functions and AC wiring must be brought into the enclosure at the bottom. (See dimension drawing for exact location). A gland plate is supplied for ease of installation.
Proceed as follows:
1.Use a hole (conduit) punch, not a torch nor a drill, and punch a hole in the gland plate for the size conduit being used.
2.Install necessary conduit.
Warning—Use only gland plate for conduit entrance. Controller warranty is VOID if any other location is used.
Note—All field wiring connections are connected to terminal blocks located in the controller. Terminals for interconnection to the corresponding numbered terminals on the engine terminal block are located between the circuit breakers (CB1, AC power and CB2-CB3, battery connections). Not all engines require all terminals to be connected. Reference engine wiring diagram and Field Connection Diagram for appropriate information. Other terminals are for connecting remote alarm functions and optional features are located on the controller relay board(s).
AC line connections are made to terminals L1 and L2 (1CB). A ground lug, marked “G” is provided for grounding. This AC circuit should come from a source having a circuit breaker sized in accordance with the National Electrical Code and other local codes.
3.Pull all wires necessary for engine connections, remote alarm functions, AC power and all other
optional features. Allow enough excess wire inside enclosure to make up connections to the terminal block. Be sure to consult the appropriate field connection diagram. Make sure AC Circuit Breaker (CB1) and Battery Circuit Breakers (CB2, CB3) are turned “Off”.
Warning—Do not use controller wire way for routing external wiring.
Wire Sizes—
•Use #14 AWG wire minimum for all electrical connections except for battery charger connections. (Battery chargers connected to terminals 6, 8, and 11.)
•On terminals 6, 8, and 11, use the following information to determine wire sizes:

4.Make all field connections to remote alarm functions and any other optional features.
5.Verify AC line voltage and frequency with the controller data plate on the enclosure door prior to energizing AC power.
