JockeyXG Pump Controllers
FTA550E Series & FTA556E Series (Wye-Delta Open Transition)
Firetrol® FTA550E Series JockeyXG Pump Control­lers are intended for use with fi re pump systems. They are used for pressure maintenance in fi re pump instal- lations to prevent unnecessary operation of the main re pump. FTA556E Series are basically the same as the FTA550E Series except they utilize wye-delta open transition starting instead of across the line starting.
Approvals — Firetrol Jockey Pump Controllers are listed
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., in accordance with UL508A, Standard for Industrial Controls, and CSA, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment (cUL). They are built to meet or exceed the requirements of the ap­proving authorities as well as NEMA and the latest edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
Enclosures — The standard enclosures are NEMA Type 2
(IEC IP22), drip-proof, for installation in areas protected from direct sunlight with an ambient temperature above 41°F (5° C).

FTA550 Series Jockey Pump Controllers
The FTA550E Jockey Pump Controller utilizes across the line, full voltage starting. Full voltage is applied to the motor as soon as the controller is actuated, and the motor supplies its rated torque. When using full voltage starting, the power source must have suffi cient KVA capacity to handle motor locked rotor current and prevent the line voltage from dropping below acceptable levels. FTA556E Jockey Pump Controllers utilize wye-delta open transition starting. Upon a call to start the starting contactor is engaged, after 2 seconds, the run contactor is engaged, bringing the motor to full speed. When the controller is actuated, either by a drop in system pressure (in the “Auto” mode), or by placing the HAND-OFF-AUTO switch in the “Hand” position, the pump will start. In the “Auto” mode, the pump will con­tinue to run until the pressure returns to a normal level and the minimum run timer has expired, whichever occurs last. In the “Hand” mode, the pump will continue to run until the HAND-OFF-AUTO selector switch is moved from the “Hand” position. The stainless steel pressure transducer is mounted inside the enclosure and is piped to a fi tting on the bot- tom of the enclosure.
