F. A data logger is provided as standard to record system pressure along with numerous alarm conditi ons and syst em events. The
data can be displayed on the OID or can be downloaded to a PC through the RS485 port provided o n the m ain system board.
Data is stored on an SD Memory card. This card contains individual pressure files with each file containing one days worth of
pressure data. Each file is of the PressXXX.txt format. Each entry is stamped with the date and time and system pressure at that
time. The Events.txt file contains all of the logged events with each event stamped with date and time. The SD memory card can
be removed and files transferred directly to a PC using appropriate memory card reader. The controller will continue to operate
normally with the SD card removed. There will, however, be a visual and audible alarm when the card is removed. Events and
pressure data will continue to be logged while the card is missing. The memory cards should be replaced within 12 hours to
ensure that no data is lost.
G. A weekly test timer is supplied to automatically start the engine any set day of the week, at a set time of day, and a preset run
time. See Part IV below for more information and the System Config Screen 106.
H. "Stop" Pushbutton - A pushbutton is provided to stop the engine in Auto at any time provided all starting demands have
cleared. This returns the controller to the automatic position. The Auto-Off-Manual selector switch can also be put in the “Off”
mode to stop the engine. Any starting commands will not start the engine in the “Off” mode.
I. Integral Battery Chargers (Option J). There are two separate fully automatic, solid state chargers provided for maintaining full
charge on the dual sets of engine batteries. An LED display is provided on each charger to indicate charger AC input voltage is
present and DC output voltage is present.
User Preferences Screen 218 and 219 are used to determine when the Charger Failure alarm will activate. When Screen 218 is
set to No, the Charger Failure alarm will not be active while the engine is running. Should both chargers fail or switch off due to
a high voltage output from the engine alternator, the AC Power Failure lamp may come on. This is normal. It will reset
automatically once the engine stops running and the charger failure alarms reset. When Screen 218 is set to Yes, the Charger
Failure alarm will be active at all times when the Mode selector switch is in the Auto or Manual mode. Screen 219 is used to
determine the time delay between the failure contacts on the charger closing and the Charger Failure lamp and audible alarm
sounding on the controller.
J. Cabinet - A heavy gauge steel cubicle encloses the controller. The OID, the key operated Auto-Off-Manual (AOM) Selector
Switch and manual start pushbuttons are mounted on the outer door. The battery circuit breakers are located inside the cabinet on
the main back panel of the unit. A key for the AOM switch is stored in a break-glass housing on the door of the cabinet. An
additional key is located inside the cabinet.
PART III: OPERATION OF THE CONTROLLER
A. When the controller is the "Auto" mode and both circuit breakers are in the "On" position, the controller is in standby
condition ready to start the engine automatically. A green pilot light above the "Auto" button will illuminate in this mode.
Also, Battery #1 Fault and Battery #2 Fault lights should be off indicating that battery power is availabl e.
When the water pressure drops below a level which is set in System Config Screen 101, the Control ler will actuat e the starter
motor and the cranking cycle will commence. In addition the “Pump on Demand” light will illuminate. If the engine starts and
runs, cranking will cease and the protective circuits will be operative. If the engine fails to start after six (6) crank periods,
cranking will cease, the "Engine Failed to Start" light will illuminate, and the alarm horn will sound. The fuel solenoid will
stay on for one hour however. This is to allow the engine to continue to run in the event the failed to start condition was due
faulty speed switch signal from the engine. The battery alternating circuit alternates batteries on each crank attempt unless one
battery is in a discharged state and incapable of cranking the engine. In this instance, the control will lock onto the other battery
for the remaining cranking attempts. Dry contacts for rem ote indicat ion of "Battery Failure" are provided.
The panel is wired so that optional remote start switches may be used, such as Deluge Valve, Remote Start pushbutt on, External
Pressure , These start switches will also cause the “Pump on Demand” light to illuminate.etc. In addition, when “Power
Failure Engine Startup” feature is enabled (System Config Screen 111), the Controller will automa ticall y start the engi ne upon
loss of Battery Charger output or AC Power loss, after an adjustable time delay (System Config Screen 112).
While the engine is running, all protective circuits are operative. If the engine stops whi le running, an d there is still an a ut o st a rt
demand, the control will attempt to restart the engine. If the engine fails to start the "Engine Failed to Start" light will
illuminate and the alarm will sound. If, while the engine is operating, the oil pressure drops bel ow a safe limit, the “Low Oil Pressure” light will illuminate immediately. After approximately seven (7) seconds the alarm will sound. Should the engi ne
temperature exceed a safe limit while running, the “Engine High Water Temp.” light will illuminate after a seven (7) second
time delay and the alarm will sound indicating engine overheating.
to a

In case of Overspeed, the engine will be stopped and the "Engine Overspeed" light will illuminate and the alarm will sound.
The light and alarm will stay on until the Engine Speed Switch and the Controller are manually reset. To manually reset the
Controller, turn the controller selector switch to Off, then press the Reset button. Then turn the selector switch back to “Auto”.
The Controller may be configured as either "Manual" or "Automatic" stop as required (System Config Screen 104).
"Manual" stop is set as standard. The current status of this setting is visible on the Main System Status Screen where the letter
“A” will appear in the upper right hand corner of the screen when set to Automatic Stop and an “M” will appear when set for
Manual stop. When Automatic stop is enabled the stop timer is preset at the fact ory to 30 m inutes. Longer tim e settings can be
set in System Config screen 105 with a maximum setting of 60 minutes possibl e. When “Automatic Stop” is di sabled, the
engine will continue to run even though the pressure switch or other rem ote starting switch returns t o its norm al positi on. The
engine can be stopped immediately only by pressing the stop button or by turni ng the Auto-Off-M anual swi tch to the Off
position. On engines that do not use the “energize to stop” method (i.e. Caterpillar), the engine may also be stopped by t urni ng
the circuit breakers BATT1 and BATT2 to OFF. If set up for "Automatic" stop, the engine will be stopped aut omati cally upon
restoration to normal of whatever demand switch started the engine providing i t has run at least 30 minut es or longer as set in
System Config screen 105. If the demand period was less than the time set on the auto st op timer, the engine will conti nue to
run until the timer times out and then will stop.
B. When the "Test" mode button is pressed for two or more seconds, t he engine wi ll be st arted by causi ng a drop in water
pressure. Failure alarm circuits will be operative in the "Test" mode. This method of starting provides a test of the Controller,
thereby assuring proper operation when required. The engine will run for the time set in Auto Weekly Test Lengt h Of Run Tim e
(System Config Screen 109) or until the "Stop" push button is pressed or the selector switch is turned to “OFF”.
C. The "Manual" position of the Auto-Off-Manual switch is for manually starting the engine from either battery. The fuel and
water solenoids are energized in this position, and the engine must be cranked by pushing one of the butt ons located below the
OID. "Manual Crank 1" cranks from Battery 1, and "Manual Crank 2" cranks from Battery 2. Pressing both buttons will
result in cranking from both batteries simultaneously.
D. When the engine is given a command to stop for any reason, terminal 12 will energize and will remain on for approximately 15
seconds. The controller will not start until terminal 12 is de-energized again.
E. Periodic Self Testing - The Test Run Timer can be set to give test runs on any day of the week and time of day desired. A
timing element is incorporated in the control so that when the engine starts in this manner, it will run for a definite time before it
shuts down. See System Config Screens 106 through 109 to set the starting tim e and lengt h of engine runni ng.
F. Provision for sequential starting is accomplished by the use of adjustable time delay on pressure drop starting or “Deluge Valve”
starting. On Multiple Pump installations these timers are set sequentially and progressively longer in tim e to prevent more th an
one (1) pump from starting simultaneously with another pump. Fai lure of the lead pum p to start will not prevent subsequent
pumps from starting. The time delay on starting is set in System Config Screen 103.
G. The “Pump On Demand” alarm light is provided to indicate that there is a command to start and run the additive pump
controller. This includes a low pressure condition, deluge valve start signal etc. The alarm light will clear when the start
condition has been cleared such as the water pressure in the system rises above the high set point set in screen 102.
H. The “Contactor Coil Failure” alarm light is to annunciate a loss of continuity to the two engine starting contactors on the engine.
There is a low level DC current that is applied to field terminals #9 and #10 to detect conti nuity in the contactor coils. Shou ld the
contactor coil open or fail, the “Contactor Coil Failure” LED will illuminate and the alarm horn will sound. In addition there will
be an entry in the Event log to indicate which Contactor coil has failed.
I. The “Loss of DC Power” lamp is provided to indicate that both batteries have been disconnected or turned off but AC po wer is
still available. The alarm horn will also sound upon the loss of DC Power and can not be silenced.
J. The “ECM Failure”,”ECM Warning”,“ECM Sw. in Alt.” and “ECM Injection Fault” alarms apply only to those engines that
have electronic fuel control. Should the Electronic Engine Control Module detect a problem, the appropriate alarm LED will
illuminate and sound the horn.
PART IV: INSTALLATION AND TEST PROCEDURE
A. INSTALLATION
The Fire Pump Controller has been assembled and wired at the factory in accordance with the highest workmanship st andards.
All circuits and functions have been thoroughly tested to assure correct operation when properly installed. The installer should
be completely familiar with the external hookup of the engine junction box t o the te rminal bar in the Control le r. Various engi ne
components must be wired to the proper terminal in the controller using the correct size of stranded wire. An appropri ate size
Page 5 of 34
File Name: Doc#586p.docx
wire must be wired from the grounding lug in the controller to earth ground. In m ost cases, t he engine manufacturer furn ishes
the engines with all accessories installed and wired to the connection box. Therefore, it is only necessary to wire from the
engine connection box to like numbered terminals in the Controller. Note proper wire sizes. All wires must be stranded.
A drain valve is provided to relieve water pressure to the pressure switch, thus closing the pressure switch contacts and starting
the engine. This test simulates an actual start demand. Since the Controller operates the drain valve only momentarily, a small
amount of water is drained off. The water pressure sensing line to the Controller from the pump must be thoroughly flushed
before connection to the Controller in order to remove chips, particles, or other matt er, that coul d enter t he plumbing
components in the Controller.
Controllers configured with "Automatic Stop" enabled may be changed to "Manual" stop by disabling this feature in Syst em
Config Screen 104. If deluge valve switches are to be used for starting, enable the Deluge Valve Option in Config Screen 121
and connect the remote normally closed switch to terminals 31 and 111.
B. TEST PROCEDURE
All of the following tests should be made on each unit after installation. If each test is satisfactory, the operator may place the
control switch in "Auto" mode and depend upon the panel operating properly when requi red. Also, any one or all of t hese test s
may be carried out at any time after installation, if so desired. NOTE: If 115 Volts A.C. is not connected to Controller, the
"Charger Failure" lights and “AC Power Loss” light and alarm will be activated and if the Power Failure Start feature
(System Config Screen 111) is enabled, the controller will start automatically. The 115VAC must be turned ON to
prevent the engine from starting.
ENGINE TERMINAL (terminals 1-12) STATUS INDICATOR LIGHTS
Light Emitting Diodes (L.E.D.) lights have been installed on the microprocessor module to indicate the status of each engine
terminal. Status indication is given bel ow:
Terminal Number
L.E.D. (light) "ON" Indication

5. Repeat for Battery #2.
b. CRANKING CYCLE TEST: This test simulates a condition where the engine refuses to start.
1. Disconnect Terminal No.1 on Controller panel. NOTE: Disconnecting Terminal No.1 is for the purpose of
removing power from the fuel solenoid so engine will not start. On engines where the fuel solenoid is not used
(Caterpillar), or is connected other than through Terminal #1 (Clarke-G.M.), other means must be used to
stop fuel flow to the engine to prevent starting.
2. Press the "Test" mode button to start cranking the engine. Time the crank and rest periods, and count the num ber of
cranks. There should be six (6) crank periods separated by five (5) rest periods each of approximately 15-seconds

duration. The "Failed to Start" light should come on and the alarm horn should sound. St atus indi cator li ght for
Terminal #1 should come on as soon as the "Test" push button is pressed and the pressure drops below the low set
point. Indicator lights for terminals 9 and 10 should come on alternately to indicat e cranking cycle. (See above)
3. Press the "Stop" push button to stop the engine and properly reconnect all leads.
NOTE: In order to prevent discharging the starting batteries, this same test can be made without actually
cranking the engine by disconnecting the starter cable and observing the action of the starter contactors
and/or status indicator lights for terminals 9 and 10.
c. CHECKING STARTING MOTOR RELEASE
1. Press the “Test” mode button. Engine should start promptly and starting motor should release at approximat ely 1/3 of
engine speed. Status indicator light for terminal #2 should come on to indi cate speed swit ch has operated t o disconnect
cranking and the Engine Running LED should illuminate.
NOTE: A convenient method of determining the exact instant the starter releases is to connect a battery test li ght or
voltmeter across the starter terminals and observe when power is disconnected.
2. Press the “Stop” push button to stop the engine.
d. OIL PRESSURE FAILURE TEST:
1. Press the "Test" mode button to start engine. When the engine is starting and oil pressure i s not yet up t o full pressure,
the "Engine Low Oil Pressure" light will illuminate, but the horn will not sound. When pressure builds up, and the
switch opens, the light will go out. This feature provides indication that the oil pressure switch contacts are operating
in a normal manner.
Note: On Electronic Engines with electronic oil pressure sensors, the oil pressure light may not illuminate while the
engine is cranking. The low oil pressure test should be performed on these engines with the engine running as described
below.
2. After the engine is running, connect a temporary jumper between terminal #4 and terminal #11.
3. Both the "Engine Low Oil Pressure" light and status indicator light for terminal #4 should come on immediately.
Wait approximately seven (7) seconds. Alarm horn should sound.
4. Press the "Stop" push button to stop the engine and remove jumper between terminal #4 and terminal #11.
5. Wait at least 30 seconds for elements to reset before making any further tests.
e. WATER TEMPERATURE FAILURE TEST:
1. Press the "Test" push button to start engine.
2. Jumper contacts on water temperature switch on engine.

seconds. Status indicator light for terminal #5 should come on with "High Water Temperature” l i ght .
4.
Press the "Stop" push button to stop the engine and remove jumper on water switch.
f. OVERSPEED FAILURE TEST:
1. Press the "Test" mode button to start engine.
2. Momentarily short the contacts on the engine speed switch, or connect a temporary jumper between terminal #3 and #6
on the controller.
3. The alarm horn sounds and the "Engine Overspeed" light will illuminate immediately. Engine comes to a stop.
Status indicator lights for terminals #3 and #12 should come on with t he "Engine Overspeed" light .
4. Remove the jumper from terminals #3 and #6 then turn the selector switch to the Off position. Press the "Reset"
button to reset the “Overspeed” alarm. Turn the selector switch back to the Auto position.
g. CONTACTOR COIL FAILURE ALARM TEST:
1. While the controller is in the "Auto" mode disconnect the field wire from terminal 9. Within a few seconds the
"Contactor Coil Failure” lamp should illuminate and the alarm horn should sound. Reconnect the field wire to
terminal 9. The "Contactor Coil Failure” lamp should go out and the alarm horn should silence. Repeat for terminal
10.

File Name: Doc#586p.docx
h. AUTOMATIC STARTING TESTS:
1. Place control in "Auto" position.
2. Bleed off pressure in system until pressure drops below the low set point. The “Pump on Demand” light should come
on.
3. Engine should start automatically and continue to run after pressure rises above the high set point, if arranged for
"Manual" stop. If arranged for "Automatic" stop, engine will continue to run for time set on Engi ne Run Tim er and
then stop.
4. Press the "Stop" push button to stop the engine.
5. Repeat tests for each demand switch such as deluge valve, remote start, etc.
i. PERIODIC WEEKLY START TEST:
1. Pressure must be up and all other demand switches de-activated.
2. 115 V.A.C. power must be turned on to the panel.
3. When the current day and time of day matches the settings in System Config screens 107 and 108, the solenoid drain
valve will energize and the engine will begin cranking. It will continue to run for the amount of t ime set.
4. Should a remote manual start occur or a low pressure condition occur while the pump is running on Weekly Test, the
pump will not stop until the Stop pushbutton is pressed or if set for Automatic Stop, the Minimum run timer times out.
5. The periodic Weekly Test function is factory set to No in Screen 106 due to Factory Mutual standard requirements.
Contact the Metron Factory Service department for instructions to turn this functi on on if thi s is not a Fact ory Mutual
insured facility.
j. SETTING PROGRAM WEEKLY TEST TIME: System Config screen 106 through 109.
k. REMOTE START SWITCH CIRCUITS: Field wiring terminals are provided on the controller so that optional remote
start switches such as Remote Pushbutton Stations, Deluge Valve Switch, Fire Alarm Switches, etc., may be used to start
the engine. Two (2) sets of terminals are provided. Terminals #112 and #31 are used for remote manual start push buttons
(close to start). Terminals #111 and #31 are used for remote Deluge Valve Switch or other remote automatic start switches
(open to start). Upon automatic start from this type of switch, the engine will be stopped either automati cally (if set for
automatic stop) after the demand switch de-activates and Engine Auto Stop Tim er tim es out, or m anually at t he Controller.
Terminals #111 and #31 must have a jumper installed if a remote Deluge switch is “Enabled” but not to be used. When t he
controller is shipped from the factory Deluge Valve start is Disabled (System Config screen 121).
l. AC POWER FAILURE STARTING: If this feature has been enabled it can be tested by disconnecting the normal 115
V.A.C. to the Controller. After the preset time delay (which is specified in Sy stem C onfig screen 112), t he Control ler will
commence cranking the engine. The "Charger #1 Failure”, “Charger #2 Failure”, and “AC Power Loss" lamps will
illuminate and the alarm will sound without delay.
m. NORMAL OPERATION – AUTOMATIC: Turn the selector switch to the “Auto" position. A green "Automatic
Mode" light will illuminate and the engine will automatical ly start upon d rop in pressure or operat ion of other st art
switches. If the Auto Stop Timer is disabled (Manual Stop) the engine must be turned off at the Controller. When t he Auto
Stop Timer is enabled, upon termination of the demand signal , the engine will run for the lengt h of tim e left on t he Auto
Stop Timer and then will stop automatically.
n. AN ADJUSTABLE SEQUENTIAL START TIMER IS SUPPLIED FOR MULTIPLE PUMP INSTALLATION:
Normally, the leading pump Controller will not have a delay timer and will commence cranking t he engine imm ediately
upon operation of a demand signal (other than Power Failure which is time delayed). The subsequent Control lers will have
a time delay which is adjustable from 0 to 999 seconds. Each time delay should be set with progressively longer tim es on
each subsequent pump. The recommended time interval is ten (10) to fifteen (15) seconds. This may be extended or
shortened as required by the local authorities having jurisdiction.
o. PUMP ROOM ALARMS: Field terminals may be provided for various inputs from pump room alarms. These alarms
include: Low Fuel, Low Pump Room Temperature, Reservoir Low, Reservoir Empty, Low Suction Pressure, Relief Valve
Discharge and/or Flow Meter On etc. A maximum of ten (8) pump room alarms are available. The Cont roller is arranged so
that the alarm horn will sound and the light will come on when the alarm sensor contacts close. These pump room alarms
can be silenced with the “Silence” push button on the OID if they have been configured as silenceable.
Page 8 of 34
File Name: Doc#586p.docx
p. FOAM PUMP OPTION: An optional feature to operate an external pressure dump valve can be provided for Foam Pump
Service if required. Screen 318 is set to approximately 10-15 seconds to operate a dry contact which can be used to operate
the Dump Valve solenoid. This contact will close when a demand for the pump to run is received such as low pressure,
deluge valve, remote start, weekly test start etc. Once the engine is runni ng, the tim ing circuit will start and keep the conta ct
close for the length of time set in screen 318. Then it will open and de-energize the dump valve allowing the pump to
develop full pressure. In addition, if the controller is not activated by a pressure start, the pressure transducer can be
deactivated through screen 319. This will also remove the pressure display from the main status screen of the OID. The
controller can only then be activated by a remote start such as deluge valve or remote start contacts. This a factory settable
option only and must be ordered with the controller before it ships from the factory.
PART V: ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL FEATURES
A. Battery Charger Operation: The Battery Chargers are mounted in the engine controller, and are factory wired to the controller
terminal block from which it obtains its 120 volt, 50-60 Hz. suppl y vol tage, and throug h whi ch it provi des charging current to
the batteries. The charging current to the two (2) batteries and the battery voltage is monitored by the controller and displayed
on the OID. The charger output is current limited and provides full protection duri ng the engi ne cranking cy cle. The charger
input and output are fused for protection in case of a failure of the control circuit or other i nternal component.
Each battery charger is fully automatic, and will charge the batteries at a rate of up to 10 amperes. As the batteries approach full
charge, the current will taper off to a predetermined level at which time the charger automatically switches to the float mode of
operation. In the float mode the charger maintains the batteries at the float potential (approximately 12.7 volts for a 12-volt
battery or 25.4 volts for the 24-volt battery).
The charger provides a means of monitoring the charger output to sound an alarm in case of loss of charger output. This also
provides a means of monitoring the A.C. power since a loss of A.C. power results in a loss of charger output.
Never disconnect the batteries from the controller while the AC power is on to the controller as this may cause damage
to the printed circuit boards.
In the event that a battery is lost or disconnected the output of the charger will stop (0 vol ts). Thi s will allow the vol tage sensing
circuit of the fire pump controller microprocessor to detect a missing battery or open circuit from the batt ery. This will result in
the respective Battery Fault light to illuminate and the alarm horn to sound. Before reconnecting the battery to the controller,
turn the AC power off. Then reconnect the battery to the controller and turn the AC power back on.to reset the alarm.
Generally, when all conditions are normal, the batteries will come to a full charge prior to the 24 hour period. As batteries begin
to charge, the controller OID will indicate a gradual decrease in current flow. When these ammeters indicate a current level of
less than 0.5 amps the charger will be in a trickle mode.
Check batteries daily for a few days after initial installation has been made, and weekly thereafter. Batteries should be checked
for overcharging (gassing), or undercharging (low voltage, or low specific gravity of the elect rolyte or acid.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should new electrolyte (acid) be added to a battery that has been previously filled.
Only distilled water is recommended for maintenance purposes.

Common Tasks Performed Using The OID
Silencing Horn: If a horn is sounding and the alarm is silence
able, a quick press of the [SILENCE/LAMP TEST] will silence the
horn (less than 1 second press).
Resetting Alarms: If the alarm condition has cleared, press and
hold the [RESET/ESC] button 2 to 5 seconds to reset alarms.
“Engine Failed to Start” and “Engine Overspeed” alarms require
the system to be in the OFF mode before a reset is allowed.
Test Mode: When controller is in Auto Mode, pressing and
holding the [TEST] button for two or more seconds will open the
pressure drain solenoid thus dropping the pressure which causes
the controller to start the engine. Pressing and releasing the
[TEST] button in Manual Mode will illuminate the lamp on the
button but has no effect on the starting.
Lamp Test: To illuminate and check all the OID LED’s and the
horn, press and hold the [SILENCE/LAMP TEST] button 5 or
more seconds or until all the lights turn on. The lamps will cycle
on for 2 seconds and off for 2 seconds.

When set point 111 above is enabled, set this timer for the leng th of time desired
to sense a loss of AC power and override any momentary outages.
When this feature is enabled, the controller will start the engine if a faulty pressure
transducer is detected, i.e. loss of output from the transducer or max voltage
sensed from the transducer indicating it has shorted.
Used for external signal of a secondary failed to start alarm.
This setting whether contact for shutdown on Low Intake is either Normally Open
(NO) or Normally Close (NC)
Low Suction Shutdown – If this feature is enabled and a separate suction pressure
switch is connected to the controller, the engine will not start or it will stop if
already running, if there is a low suction pressure condition.
Set this timer for the desired time to override momentary dips in suction pressure
before a shutdown will occur.
If enabled, once the low intake pressure condition has cleared and remained clear
for the set point 119 reset amount of time, the low intake alarm will clear itself.
Amount of time that low intake pressure condition needs to be clear before an
automatic reset of a low intake alarm can occur if enabled in set point 118.
If enabled this setting activates the logic to monitor an optional pressure switch
dry contact closure (ie normally open contact that closes to start engine) that will
start the engine on a low pressure condition if system is in Auto mode.
If enabled this setting activates the logic to monitor an optional deluge valve dry
contact opening (ie normally closed contact that opens to start engine) that will
start the engine if system is in Auto mode.
This setting determines the pressure at which the High System Pressure variable
will be turned on. This is used primarily for variable speed engine applications. It
can be used to illuminate a lamp and activate remote dry contacts.

An overspeed signal was detected coming from the engine. FD4 controller must be
put in OFF mode to reset this alarm.
FD4 controller attempted to start engine in Auto mode but the engine failed to
start (ie a engine run signal was never received). FD4 controller must be put in
OFF mode to reset this alarm.
FD4 controller lost the engine run signal from the engine while it was running in
Auto mode. This could be a bad wire connection or a problem on the engine that
shut the engine down other than an overspeed or failed to start condition.
A low oil pressure signal was received from the engine while the engine was
running for at least the amount of seconds set in setpoint #304.
A high engine coolant water temperature signal was received from the engine while
it was running.
The pressure signal from the pressure transducer has fallen outside normal
operating range potentially indicating a problem with the transducer or its
wiring.
A low fuel signal has been received for at least 3 seconds.
An operator pressed the Stop pushbutton.
Engine was started or stopped in either Auto or Manual mode.
A remote engine lockout signal was received or cleared.
A remote start signal was received or cleared.
System was placed in Auto mode.
System was placed in Off mode.
System was placed in Manual mode.
An automatic engine test sequence was started while in Auto mode by either the
weekly program clock function or a user pressing the [TEST] button for 2 or more
seconds
A user did an alarm reset by pressing and holding the [SILENCE/RESET/ESC] button
for 2 to 5 seconds.
A low pressure start was attempted because of a low pressure reading from the
transducer or optional pressure switch while in Auto mode.
System pressure dropped below the start pressure or the optional pressure switch
indicates a low pressure condition. This can be logged in all modes of operation.
A deluge start signal was received while in Auto mode.
DC power was restored to the FD4 microprocessor.
If setpoint #204 is set to yes, this event gets recorded when the system pressure
drops below the setting in setpoint #205.

PART IX - SD CARD FILE FORMAT.
The controller is equipped with an SD (Secure Digital) memory card on the motherboard to store the Pressure log, Event log,
Operators Manual in PDF format, Auxiliary Alarm configuration information and the controller drawings in PDF format.
The SD card is located on the right hand edge of the motherboard and is removed by pressing in on the right edge of the card to
release from the card holder. When the SD card is removed, data is still being recorded on temporary flash memory on the
motherboard. Once the card is replaced, the stored data will be written back to the SD Card. When the SD card is removed, the
LCD display will indicate that the card is missing and that is should be replaced. If the card is not replaced within approximately
1 minute, the alarm will sound and the System Fault LED will come on. Once the SD card is replaced, the System Fault LED will
go out but the Alarm Silence button must be pressed to silence the alarm horn. The data stored on the SD card is in standard
ASCII text format and can be read by an computer equipped with an appropriate SD card reader. These are readily available at
any electronics store. The data on the SD card is in the following format:
PressXXX.txt file
Data is stored in a standard comma delimited file as follows:
07/27/07
Date Time Pressure
Each file starting with “Press” contains one days worth of pressure data.
Events.txt file
Data is stored in a standard comma delimited file as follows:
07/27/07
Date Time Event Action Pressure
EVENTS.TXT The main log file. Contains a maximum of 3000 events occurred on the controller in date order. After
the 3000 limit is reached the oldest events will be overwritten from the top of the file.
FD4FW.HEX Original firmware, Metron Eledyne use only.
FW_DEF.TXT A file containing the version number of the FD4FW.HEX firmware file. Metron Eledyne use only.
SETTINGS.TXT This file is created when ‘save all settings’ is executed from the controller, contains the saved settings.
SCREENS.NEW Data file used for the screen messages on the OID, Metron Eledyne use only.
MISCTEXT.NEW Data file used for the messages on the OID screens, Metron Eledyne use only.
AUXALM.TXT Obsolete. Replaced by SETTING.TXT but may still be on the SD card.
CONFIG.TXT Configures the LEDs on the OID, Metron Eledyne use only.
PRESS**.TXT Contains the pressure log where ** is the day of month 01 through 31. Each month will overwrite the
previous month’s data day by day. At the start of each matching day number the old file is deleted and
The Modbus option on the fire pump controller boards can be enabled by disabling the printer option to the onbo ard RS485 port.
All communications to this port will be in a 2 wire RS485 format. 255 controllers can communicate on a single network. The
pinout cabling required for connection to the port is as follows. It is necessary to apply a terminating resistor to both ends of the
network. Note-Only 50 Modbus registers can be polled at time from the controller. I/O servers must be set up accordingly.
Modbus Setup From Controller Interface:
From the 200 series user preference configuration screens the Modbus setting can be access from screens 220 through 223. Screen
220 is used to set the Modbus address 1-255. All Modbus devices on a network must have a unique address.
Screen 221 is used to enable/disable the Modbus option. If ‘Yes’ is selected the Modbus will be enabled and the RS485 port can
no longer be used as a printer port.
Screen 222 is used to set the baud rate for the RS485 port. The baud rates possible are 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400
bits/second. Note that the baud rate setting is for the RS485 port in general and applies for Modbus and printer usage.
Screen 223 is used to set the Modbus parity. Valid selections are ‘Even’, ‘Odd’, and ‘None’. This setting must match the parity
setting of all other Modbus devices on the network.
Modbus Register Usage Description:
The historical event and pressure logs, and real time clock can be accessed and controlled through the Modbus registers listed
below.
Register 40001 is a write to controller only register where commands can be entered to accomplish the following as seen in figure
1.1. Depending on the Modbus I/O server used, either the individual bits in register 40001 can be toggled or integer values can be
written. Either way, the controller automatically zeros register 40001 after a valid command is received.

Setting And Reading The Real Time Clock Through Modbus:
Modbus registers 40007 through 400013 are real time clock read registers as seen in figure 1.3. To set the clock current values
must be entered into registers 40014 through 40020. Any of these registers left to zero will result in an incorrect clock setting.
Once desired clock date and time values are entered bit 0 of register 40001 must be toggled for the controller to accept the values.
This can be done by setting bit 0 high or writing a 1 to register 40001. The controller will then accept the new values.

Miscellaneous Floating Point and Integer Readings:
Battery voltage and amperage along with engine run hours, system pressure, system start pressure, time until start, time until stop
and engine starts can all be read from the controller Real or Floating Point registers. These are Modbus registers 40021 through
40037. These registers are word or double word. All available floating point and integer registers are shown in Figure 1.4 and do
not require scaling.

No more than 50 registers can be polled at a time.
Historical Alarms and Events:
The historical events and alarms can be viewed from Modbus registers 40107 through 40114. Here it is possible to scroll through
the entire log and set the log pointer to the most current record. Register 40107 contains a number representing the actual log
number entry location in the controller. Register 40108 contains a number representing the event or alarm that can be indexed
using figures 1.6 through 1.9. Registers 40109 through 40114 show the date and time stamp information for the log record being
pointed to.
To maneuver through the log:
Toggling bit 3 or writing an 8 to register 40001 will increment the log by one entry.
Toggling bit 4 or writing a 16 to register 40001 will decrement the log by one entry.
Toggling bit 7 or writing a 128 to register 40001 will set the log to view the most current log entry.
Page 31 of 34

Historical Pressure Readings:
The historical pressure readings can be viewed from Modbus registers 40122 through 40129. Here it is possible to scroll through
the entire log and set the log pointer to the most current record. Register 40122 contains a number representing the actual log
number entry location in the controller. Register 40123 contains a number representing the logged pressure reading. Registers
40124 through 40129 show the date and time stamp information for the log record being pointed to.
To maneuver through the log:
Toggling bit 5 or writing a 32 to register 40001 will increment the log by one entry.
Toggling bit 6 or writing a 64 to register 40001 will decrement the log by one entry.
Toggling bit 8 or writing a 256 to register 40001 will set the log to view the most current log entry.
It is recommended to set the log to the most current entry before scrolling. When scrolling, it is possible to move forward and
backward through roughly a full weeks worth of data. See figure 1.10 for register interpretation.
