INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Fire Research all-in-one pressure governor and instrument panel uses state-of­the-art programmable, microprocessor technology. It maintains a steady pump discharge pressure by controlling engine speed or holds a selected engine RPM. It offers complete engine control and remote display in a single compact unit.
The governor operates in one of two modes, pressure or RPM. In pressure mode it maintains a constant pump discharge pressure. The discharge pressure is monitored, compared to the selected pressure setting, and the engine RPM is varied to keep the discharge pressure at the selected setting. In RPM mode it maintains a constant engine RPM. The pump discharge pressure is monitored and can vary, but, as a safety feature, it will be limited to an increase of 30 PSI. If the discharge pressure increases 30 PSI the governor automatically lowers the engine RPM to prevent a high pressure surge.
All controls and indicators are located on the front of the control module.

and one on the intake. If there is a check valve in the discharge side of the pump,
mount the discharge sensor before the check valve. T-ttings can be used to mount
the pressure sensors.
Note: Install the pressure sensor upright so that water in the end of the pressure
sensor is able to drain back into the pipe.
1. Screw the sensor into a 1/4-18 NPT hole.
Caution: Do not use the main body that houses the electronics to tighten the
pressure sensor. Damage to the sensor may occur.
2. Tighten the sensor with a 7/8 inch wrench on the lower hex tting.

Install Sensors
The information available on the J1939 databus varies depending on the particular engine type. The sensors (if any) that need to be installed will also vary depending on the engine.
The sensors are wired to the optional 6-pin connector at the rear of the control module. Refer to the Wiring Section for connector pinout and wiring information.
Install Buzzer
Install the buzzer close to the control module so the audible warning is easily associated with the visual warning on the display.
The optional buzzer provided by FRC requires a cutout hole of 1-1/8" (1.125").
Pin 7 on the 8-pin connector at the rear of the control module is used to connect the buzzer. Connect the ground side of the buzzer to pin 7. (Maximum current through pin 7 is 300 mA.) Refer to the Wiring section (Figure 5).
Install High-Idle Kit
The high-idle is activated when +12 VDC is provided to pin 4 (High-Idle Active Input) of the 8-pin connector and to pin 3 (Interlock Input) of the 12-pin connector. Refer to High-Idle Wiring.
Note: It is important that the connection to the Interlock Input from the
High-Idle circuit be isolated from the apparatus interlock wiring with the two diodes. The pump must NOT be engaged when using the high-idle function and the THROTTLE READY LED will be off.
Install Remote Governor Option
Refer to Install Control Module for dimensions. The remote governor is connected to power, the J1939 CAN Bus, and the FRC datalink. Refer to Wiring Section.
Note: Program code P303 SYS TYPE must be set to REMOTE in the
remote governor program.

TGA300 Rev180405
OPERATION
Note: When power is applied to the governor the message display shows the
Software Program Revision Number for ve (5) seconds. It can also be viewed
with P101 code, refer to Programming Section.
On power up the governor is in the pressure mode of operation. The RPM display shows engine RPM, the four LED bar graphs are green indicating readings within normal ranges, and the message display will alternate between showing the date and time.
If a monitored function is not within normal parameters the display ashes, the RPM
display shows an error or fault warning code and a description shows in the message display. (Refer to Table 2. Error Codes or Table 3. Fault Warning Codes.)
If one of the inputs displayed by the LED bar graphs is not within normal range the
LEDs will be red and ashing.
When all necessary throttle enables are active and the interlock circuit is complete, the THROTTLE READY LED lights and the governor is ready to control the engine RPM.
Controls
INC/DEC Buttons (TGA300 Only)
The INC and DEC buttons are used to change pressure and RPM settings or program preset values. The rate and amount the numbers change when a button is pressed depends on the mode and how long the button is held.
Pressure Mode. Press either button momentarily to change the pressure setting by 1 PSI. Press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds and the pressure setting changes by 5 PSI twice, then by 10 PSI until the button is released.
RPM Mode. Press either button momentarily to change the RPM setting by 10 RPM. Press and hold the button for more than 2 seconds and the RPM setting changes by 50 RPM twice, then by 100 RPM until the button is released.
Control Knob (TGA400 Only)
The control knob is used to adjust pressure and RPM settings. The governor senses how fast and in what direction the control knob is rotated and send a signal to the ECM to increase or decrease the engine RPM proportionally.
If the control knob is rotated quickly; the engine RPM changes quickly.
If the control knob is rotated slowly; the engine RPM changes slowly.
• Rotate the control knob clockwise* to increase engine RPM.
• Rotate the control knob counterclockwise* to decrease engine RPM.
• Press the red IDLE button to immediately return the engine to idle.
*NOTE: Opposite knob rotation option is available to increase/decrease the
engine RPM.

Pressure Mode Operation
In the pressure mode of operation the PRESSURE LED is on. The governor maintains a constant discharge pressure within system capabilities. It adjusts the engine RPM automatically to compensate for variations in pressure.
There is a maximum engine RPM programmed in the governor for pressure mode.
If the engine reaches the programmed maximum RPM the message display ashes MAX RPM / OPERATOR and the engine RPM is not allowed to go higher. (The maximum
engine RPM is normally set at 2100 and is programmable.)
If the discharge pressure is below 15 PSI when the operator increases the pressure setting, the display shows PRESS LOW.
Note: When changing from RPM to pressure mode during operations, hold
the PRESSURE button for 3 seconds. The pressure setting is the pressure that the pump was operating at in RPM mode.
1. Press PRESSURE button to select the pressure mode.
Result: PRESSURE LED goes on.
2. Press PRESET and/or INC/DEC or rotate the control knob to select pressure
setting.
Result: Message display shows pressure setting, engine RPM changes.
3. Press IDLE button after operations to bring engine to idle RPM.
Result: Message display shows IDLE ENGINE, engine at idle RPM.
Opening/Closing Discharge Valves
In pressure mode the governor maintains the pressure setting regardless of the
number of discharge lines that are opened or closed providing there is sufcient water
supplied. As lines are opened the discharge pressure starts to drop, and the governor raises the engine RPM to maintain the required pressure. As lines are closed and the discharge pressure starts to rise, the governor lowers the engine RPM to maintain the required pressure.
Operating From a Pressurized Supply
When operating from a pressurized water source (hydrant, in-relay, etc.), the intake supply should be routed through a valve. If the pressurized source fails, the pump operator can close the valve. This eliminates the chance of sharp pressure spikes at the pump intake if the supply is resumed suddenly. The operator must open this valve slowly when the supply is resumed to help prevent pressure spikes.
Note: The following description Running Away From Water, Low Water,
or No Supply Water is for software with a revision number V500.03 and newer. Prior revisions should be updated. (Refer to Programming Section to view the software revision number.)
15
TGA300 Rev180405
Running Away From Water, Low Water, or No Supply Water
There are situations during pump operations when there may be low or no supply
water. This can be due to an empty water tank, a problem on the intake line, air in the
pump, changing the water source, or an insufcient water supply.
The governor constantly monitors discharge pressure and compares it to engine RPM. It is programmed to limit RPM increases when conditions arise that fall outside of normal operating parameters.
Running Away From Water: If the discharge pressure starts dropping while operating in pressure mode, the governor increases the engine RPM and attempts to maintain the selected pressure setting. If pressure drops and an increase in RPM does not bring the pressure back up, the governor recognizes this as a running away from water condition. When this condition occurs the governor switches to the RPM limit mode and controls the engine RPM accordingly.
RPM Limit Mode: When the RPM limit mode is in effect the PRESSURE LED stays on. To alert the operator the RPM LED and the RPM display ash, and the message display ashes OPERATOR / RPM LIMIT. In this mode the pressure setting does not change and the PRESET button is disabled. When the pressure comes back up to the selected pressure setting, the RPM limit mode is canceled and the governor switches to normal operation in pressure mode at the selected pressure.
In some cases the pressure may not come back up but remains at a level above 45 PSI. In the RPM limit mode, the governor behaves like a manual throttle and the operator can raise or lower the engine RPM by pressing INC/DEC or rotating the control knob. If the RPM is manually lowered to a point where the pump is not running away from water and pressure is stable, the RPM limit mode is canceled. The governor switches to normal operation in pressure mode with the current discharge pressure as the new pressure setting.
If the engine is set to idle using the IDLE button, the governor comes out of RPM Limit Mode and cancels the pressure setting.
Low Water Cycle: If the discharge pressure is below 45 PSI, but stays above 15 PSI, the governor enters a low water cycle and the message display ashes LO WATER. It sets the engine at 1100 RPM. If the pressure does not rise above 45 PSI in 7 seconds, the governor sets the engine RPM at idle. The governor repeats the low water cycle as long as the discharge pressure is between 15 and 45 PSI. When the pressure rises above 45 PSI the governor resumes normal operation. (The values for RPM and PSI in the low water cycle are programmable and may vary for some engine/pump combinations.)
No Supply Water: If the discharge pressure is below 15 PSI, the engine RPM is set at idle and the message display ashes NO WATER. If, within 3 minutes, the discharge pressure rises above 15 PSI the governor enters the low water cycle. If the discharge pressure does not rise above 15 PSI within 3 minutes, the governor switches to idle mode and cancels the pressure setting. To restart pump operations, the operator must take action (press PRESET and/or INC/DEC or rotate control knob to select pressure setting).
