Diesel Engine Fire Pump Controllers

Firetrol designed 4-stage
battery charger.

Compatible with mechanical and
electronic engine types.

Firetrol® combined automatic and manual Mark
IIXG based diesel engine fi re pump controllers
are intended for starting and monitoring fi re
pump diesel engines. The controller monitors,
displays and records fi re pump system informa-
tion. Diesel engine fi re pump controllers are
available in 12 or 24 volts, work with lead acid
or Nickel-Cadmium batteries and are designed
to operate seamlessly with either mechanical
or electronic engine types.

Battery Chargers

The controllers are supplied with two fully au­tomatic, 200 amp hour, 4 step battery chargers.
The chargers feature Switching Technology and
10Adc Pulse-Width Modulated Output Current.
The 4 step charging cycle is as follows:
Step 1 - Qualifi cation Stage
During this stage, the battery charger

checks the batteries to insure they can
accept a fast charge. It also checks
for missing or defective batteries. If
a missing or defective battery is de-

tected, a fault will be given.
Step 2 - Fast Charge Stage
Charges the batteries until they reach

peak voltage.
Step 3 - Bulk Charge Stage
Charges the batteries at a constant

potential of peak voltage until current

reaches 500mA.
Step 4 - Float Charge Stage
Trickle charges the batteries to main-

tain peak potential.

Operator Interface

The fi re pump controllers feature an opera-
tor interface with user keypad. The interface
monitors and displays motor operating condi­tions, including all alarms, events, and pressure
conditions. All alarms, events, and pressure
conditions are displayed with a time and date
stamp. The display is a 128x64 Backlit LCD ca­pable of customized graphics and Cyrillic type
character display. The display and interface are
NEMA rated for Type 2, 3R, 4, 4X, and 12 pro­tection and is fully accessible without opening
the controller door. The user interface utilizes
multiple levels of password protection for sys­tem security. A minimum of 3 password levels
are provided.

Approvals

Firetrol fi re pump controllers are listed by Un-
derwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., in accordance
with UL218, Standard for Fire Pump Controllers,
CSA, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment,
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.

USB Host Controller

The controller is equipped with a built-in USB
Host Controller. A USB port capable of accept­ing a USB Flash Memory Disk is provided. The
controller saves all operational and alarm events
to the fl ash memory on a daily basis. Each saved
event is time and date stamped. The total
amount of historical data saved depends on
the size of the fl ash disk utilized. The operator
can save settings and values to the fl ash disk on
demand via the user interface.

Event Recording

Memory - The controller records all opera­tional and alarm events to system memory. All
events are time and date stamped and include
an index number. The system memory has the
capability of storing 3000 events and allows
the user access to the event log via the user in­terface. The user can scroll through the stored
messages in groups of 1 or 10.
