If legs were supplied, unpack the legs and mounting hardware. 2. Inspect legs for damage. 3. Securely lift controller or lay it on it’s back being careful not to damage painted surface. 4. Attach each leg to the bottom of the enclosure using the three nuts, bolts, and washers provided for each leg. Tighten bolts securely. 5. After legs are securely attached, stand the controller up on its legs for floor mounting. Each leg has three holes on the bottom for anchoring to the floor or base plate. CAUTION: The controller is not free standing! The controller must be secured to the floor or wall before opening door or operating. 1

MOUNTING CONTROLLER NOTE—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine the controller mounting location. Tools and materials (all mounting) required: 1. Assortment of common hand tools of the type used to service electromechanical equipment. 2. Drill for drilling wall/floor anchor holes. 3. Hand level. 4. Tape measure. 5. Four anchors with bolts and washers, per enclosure - if wall mount. 6. Six anchors, bolts and washers, per enclosure - if floor/base plate mount. WALL MOUNT NOTE—Refer to the appropriate dimension drawing for the controller included in the instruction manual for necessary mounting dimensions. The controller is wall mounted by using two lower mounting brackets and four (4) wall anchors, two anchors for the top ears and two anchors for the lower brackets. The lower brackets should be mounted in line with the mounting ears. 1. Using either the dimension print or by measuring the distance between the centers of the two mounting ears, transcribe this dimension on the wall. NOTE—The bottom edge of the enclosure should be a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) from the floor in case flooding of the pump room occurs. 2. Drill and put two anchors into the wall for the lower mounting brackets. 3. Install the lower mounting brackets securely using two bolts and washers in these anchors. 4. Mark on the wall the location of the holes for the upper mounting ears. 5. Drill and put two anchors into the wall for the upper mounts. 6. Lift the controller onto the lower mounting brackets and align the holes in the upper mounting ears with the upper anchors. 7. Install bolts and washers in the upper anchors. 8. Tighten the upper mounting bolts. 9. Check to be sure the enclosure door opens freely and that the enclosure is level. 10. Use the nuts, bolts and washers provided for mounting legs to seal the six holes in the bottom of the enclosure. FLOOR/BASE PLATE MOUNT NOTE—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine the controller mounting location. Refer to the controller dimension print for necessary mounting dimensions. The controller is floor/base plate mounted by using the three pre-drilled holes in each leg. The holes are dimensionally on the same line for ease of mounting. 1. Using either the dimension print or by measuring the distance between the center lines of the holes on one leg, transcribe these dimensions onto floor/base plate. 2. Drill three holes in the floor/base plate for anchoring the leg. 3. Mark the location of the holes for the opposite leg and drill three more holes. 4. Secure the controller to the floor/base plate with bolts and washers and tighten. 5. Check to be sure the enclosure door opens freely and that the enclosure is level. MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 2

Important Precautions— Prior to making any field connections: 1. Verity that the following information is compatible with other related equipment on the project: •Firetrol catalog number •Motor horsepower, voltage, phase and frequency •System pressure 2. The 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. 3. Open the door of the enclosure and inspect the internal components and wiring for any signs of frayed or loose wires or other visible damage. 4. Refer to the appropriate field connection drawing in the manual for all wiring information. Procedure— All field connections, remote alarm functions and AC wiring are brought into the enclosure through the top, bottom, or side conduit entrances as indicated on the dimension drawing. Refer to the National Electrical Code, the local electrical code or any other authority having jurisdiction for proper conduit entrance location. 1. Use a hole punch, not a torch nor a drill, and punch a hole in the enclosure for the size conduit being used. 2. Install necessary conduit. 3. Pull all wires necessary for field connections, remote alarm functions, AC power and all other optional features. Allow enough excess wire inside the enclosure to make up connections to the appropriate line, load and control terminal block points. Be sure to consult the appropriate field connection diagram included with the manual. For proper wire sizing, refer to the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 4. Make all field connections to the remote alarm functions and any other optional features. Do not connect AC power. 5. Verify AC line voltage, phase and frequency with the controller data plate on the enclosure door prior to connecting AC power. 6. Connect the AC power. 7. Check to see that all connections are both correctly wired (in accordance with the field connection diagram) and tight. 8. Close the enclosure door. GENERAL PRE-START UP OPERATION 1. Controllers are shipped with the EMERGENCY RUN handle in the latched position. Before placing the controller in service, turn the EMERGENCY RUN handle and release to unlatch. 2. Check the controller for bolts, nuts and electrical connections which may have loosened during shipment. 3. If a remote start push-button is used, connect the wires to terminals 6 and 7. 4. If a deluge valve is used, remove the jumper from terminals 1 and 8. Connect wires from the normally closed contact on the deluge valve to terminals 1 and 8. 5. If a FTA200 remote alarm panel is used, connect like numbered terminals in the remote alarm panel to terminals 17, 18, 19 and 20 in the fire pump controller. Terminals H and N must be connected if a FTA200 alarm panel is used. 3

6. If a FTA200 remote alarm panel is used, connect a reliable, separate, supervisory 120 volt power supply to terminals L1 and L2 in the alarm panel. GENERAL START UP OPERATION General operating procedures are indicated on the data plate fastened to the front of the controller enclosure door. The following information is merely in greater detail: Voltage Check— 1. Energize the incoming power feeder. 2. Press the METER push-button on the Mark II interface panel. The 3 phase voltage will be displayed. Confirm that the measured voltage matches the voltage stamped on the data plate.

At this time, it is necessary to prepare the controller for normal operation. See section 2 for setup instructions for the Mark II. After the Mark II has been configured, return to this section. Phase Rotation The Mark II is designed to indicate phase loss and/or phase reversal. Separate LED’s indicate POWER ON and PHASE REVERSAL. If external alarms are wired, these failures will also be indicated at the remote alarm location. The Mark II is factory programmed for the standard ABC phase relationship. If voltage is available on all three phases and the PHASE REVERSAL LED comes on, see Section 2 - Alarm Limits-Reverse Phases. Note: FTA1900 ONLY - Both the Mark II and the Solid State Soft Starter are phase rotation sensitive. The above method of clearing a phase reversal will not work on a FTA1900 controller. If a phase reversal is being shown on the Mark II and the Solid State Soft Starter, two of the cables at the LINE side of the circuit breaker must be reversed. 1. Open the isolating switch/circuit by moving the operating handle to the OFF position. 2. Disconnect power on the line side of the isolating switch/circuit breaker. Reverse any two of the incoming power lines. Reconnect power to the incoming feed. 3. Close the enclosure door and while holding the STOP push-button depressed, close the isolating switch/circuit breaker. 4. Verify that the POWER AVAILABLE LED is illuminated and the PHASE REVERSAL LED is extinguished. 5. Open the isolating switch/circuit breaker and release the STOP push-button.

To simulate a phase reversal for testing purposes, push and hold the phase reversal push-button located on the right hand side of the Mark II with the door open (see photo on right). The phases will be reversed internal to the Mark II and a phase reversal alarm will be initiated. The alarm will clear when the button is released.

INITIAL START-UP OPERATION 1. Place circuit breaker in ON position. The pump may start immediately if system pressure is low. The PUMP RUNNING and LOW PRESSURE LED’s will be lit. 2. If the Mark II is configured for automatic shutdown (MANUAL STOP disabled), the pump motor will continue to run for the period of time set in the MIN RUN (or OFF DELAY) screen and then stop automatically, providing the STOP pressure setting has been reached. Both the system pressure and MIN RUN (or OFF DELAY) time remaining will be shown on the display. Depressing the STOP push-button during the running period will stop the motor as long as the button is held in. However, the motor will restart when the button is released if system pressure is below the stop setting. 3. If the controller is configured for manual shutdown (MANUAL STOP enabled), the pump will continue to run until the STOP push-button is depressed. 4. To stop the motor otherwise, press and hold the STOP push-button and place the CIRCUIT BREAKER DISCONNECTING MEANS handle in the OFF position. FOR MANUAL START 1. Follow the initial start-up instructions. The isolating switch/circuit breaker should be closed, the POWER AVAILABLE LED should be illuminated and system pressure normal, i.e. higher than the programmed START PRESSURE setting. 2. Press the START push-button. The pump motor should start and continue to run. It will not stop automatically. The running period timer and pressure switch have no control over this manual operation. 3. To stop, press the STOP push-button. 4. Starting from a remote START push-button (if used) functions in the same way as the local START push-button. 5. If the pump motor restarts, system pressure is below the START PRESSURE setting. FOR EMERGENCY RUN START 1. Follow the initial start-up instructions. The isolating switch/circuit breaker should be closed, the green POWER AVAILABLE LED should be illuminated and pressure normal. 2. Push and lock the EMERGENCY RUN handle. The motor will start and continue to run until both of the following conditions have been satisfied: a. The EMERGENCY RUN handle has been turned to “un-lock” position and released. b. The STOP push-button is pushed. 3. To stop the motor with the handle locked in the “run” position, place the circuit breaker handle in the OFF position, then turn the EMERGENCY RUN handle and release. 4. Return the circuit breaker operator to the ON position. 5. If the pump restarts, system pressure is below the START PRESSURE setting. ABBREVIATED STARTING SEQUENCE FTA750, FTA1000 FULL VOLTAGE CONTROLLER 1. Follow all of the initial start-up instructions. 2. The motor will start and run at full line voltage.

FTA1900 SOLID STATE STARTING CONTROLLERS 1. Follow the initial start-up instructions. 2. Motor will start at reduced voltage on soft start contactor 1MS. 3. When soft start contactor 1MS reaches full voltage, contactor 1M closes, bypassing 1MS. 1 CAUTION: Acceptance testing of each controller shall be for a minimum of six (6) automatic and six (6) manual starts at a minimum run time of five (5) minutes per NFPA 20 to insure resistor cooling between starts. Motor manufacturer’s data must be consulted for maximum number of starts per hour and other starting conditions. ADDITIONAL FTA1900 INSTRUCTIONS SOFT START OPERATION The solid state soft starter is designed to start a standard NEMA B motor at reduced voltage. The device features a pause/sincerity test sequence to minimize hydraulic disturbances in the piping system during a soft stop. This allows an orderly restart should there be a callto-run during the sincerity test period. The device is factory calibrated and should not require extensive field adjustment. Printed circuit board mounted LED’s provide the following indication when “on”: • Phase Correct • +15 VDC Available • Gating SCR’s • Starter On • Full Voltage Three DIP switches provide for control of acceleration ramp time, acceleration level (jump to full voltage at pre-set point during ramp up), deceleration ramp time, deceleration level (jump from full voltage to a pre-set lower level during ramp down), pause test duration and pause test level. The DIP switches are set as follows: ACCELERATION SW1-1 and SW1-2 set the time from reception of a run command until full voltage output of the starter. This is accomplished by setting the rate of the output voltage ramp which has a range from 0 Volts to 100% line voltage. SW1-1 OFF; SW1-2 OFF Accel time = 2.5 Seconds SW1-1 ON; SW1-2 OFF Accel time = 3.5 Seconds *SW1-1 OFF; SW1-2 ON Accel time = 5.0 Seconds SW1-1 ON; SW1-2 ON Accel time = 7.0 Seconds

9

SW1-3, SW1-4 and SW1-5 control the level reached by the output voltage ramp where the starter voltage output jumps to full voltage. These switches select a point between approximately 70% output voltage and 95% output voltage. These voltages are approximate and vary by motor design and load. SW1-3 OFF; SW1-4 OFF; SW1-5 OFF 70% SW1-3 ON; SW1-4 OFF; SW1-5 OFF 75% SW1-3 OFF; SW1-4 ON; SW1-5 OFF 80% SW1-3 ON; SW1-4 ON; SW1-5 OFF 84% *SW1-3 OFF; SW1-4 OFF; SW1-5 ON 88% SW1-3 ON; SW1-4 OFF; SW1-5 ON 91% SW1-3 OFF; SW1-4 ON; SW1-5 ON 93% SW1-3 ON; SW1-4 ON; SW1-5 ON 95% SW1-3, SW1-4 and SW1-5 also will affect the time of the acceleration ramp slightly. With the three switches “off”, ramp time will be about 80% of the setting selected by SW1-1 and SW1-2. With the three switches “on”, the ramp time will be approximately 120% of the setting. DECELERATION SW2-1 and SW2-2 set the time from removal of a run command until the starter fully shuts off. During this time the output voltage follows a deceleration ramp, going from an initial voltage reduction, adjustable by SW2-3, SW2-4 and SW2-5, down to zero volts. During this deceleration ramp, the output voltage reduction is halted for an adjustable pause interval (sincerity test), which is adjusted by SW3. After the end of the pause interval, the deceleration ramp is resumed until the output reaches zero. SW2-1 and SW2-2 adjust the time between removal of the run command and final shut-off, minus the pause time. SW2-1 OFF; SW2-2 OFF Decel time = 2.5 Seconds SW2-1 ON; SW2-2 OFF Decel time = 3.5 Seconds *SW2-1 OFF; SW2-2 ON Decel time = 5.0 Seconds SW2-1 ON; SW2-2 ON Decel time = 7.0 Seconds SW2-3, SW2-4 and SW2-5 control the initial voltage cutback that occurs as soon as the run command is removed. The output voltage then ramps down from this point. These voltages are approximate and may vary by motor design and load. SW2-3 OFF; SW2-4 OFF; SW2-5 OFF 70% SW2-3 ON; SW 2-4 OFF; SW2-5 OFF 75% SW2-3 OFF; SW2-4 ON; SW2-5 OFF 80% SW2-3 ON; SW2-4 ON; SW2-5 OFF 84% *SW2-3 OFF; SW2-4 OFF; SW2-5 ON 88% SW2-3 ON; SW2-4 OFF; SW2-5 ON 91% SW2-3 OFF; SW2-4 ON; SW2-5 ON 93% SW2-3 ON; SW2-4 ON; SW2-5 ON 95% These switches also affect the time of the deceleration ramp slightly. With the three switches “off”, ramp time will be about 80% of the setting selected by SW2-1 and SW2-2. With the three switches “on”, the ramp time will be approximately 120% of the setting. 10

PAUSE During the deceleration ramp, voltage reduction is halted for an adjustable period. The point on the decel ramp where this occurs is also adjustable. SW3-1 and SW3-2 select the duration of the pause interval, while SW3-3, SW3-4 and SW3-5 select the point on the decel ramp where this pause occurs. SW3-1 and SW3-2 set the pause duration. This time, plus the decel ramp time set with SW2-1 and SW2-2 add up to the total time between run command removal and total starter shut-off. SW3-1 OFF; SW3-2 OFF Pause time = 2.0 Seconds SW3-1 ON; SW3-2 OFF Pause time = 4.0 Seconds *SW3-1 OFF; SW3-2 ON Pause time = 6.0 Seconds SW3-1 ON; SW3-2 ON Pause time = 8.0 Seconds SW3-3, SW3-4 and SW3-5 set the output voltage level where the pause interval occurs. This level is held constant during the pause interval. These voltages are approximate and vary by motor design and load. SW3-3 OFF; SW3-4 OFF; SW3-5 OFF 32% SW3-3 ON; SW3-4 OFF; SW3-5 OFF 36% SW3-3 OFF; SW3-4 ON; SW3-5 OFF 40% SW3-3 ON; SW3-4 ON; SW3-5 OFF 44% *SW3-3 OFF; SW3-4 OFF; SW3-5 ON 48% SW3-3 ON; SW3-4 OFF; SW3-5 ON 52% SW3-3 OFF; SW3-4 ON; SW3-5 ON 56% SW3-3 ON; SW3-4 ON; SW3-5 ON 60% *Factory Setting

SECTION 2 Mark II Set Up Set Up Notes: These instructions often refer to pressing the “right arrow” key; earlier versions of the Mark II interface panel had an “ACK” key instead. Pressing the “ACK” key will have the same results as the key when following these instructions.

User Passwords: Adjusting the settings of the Mark II can severely effect the operation of the fire pump controller. Any adjustments should be done by qualified personnel. This manual will refer to an “operator” level password and an “supervisor” level password. The “operator” level password allows changes that might normally be made by maintenance personnel. The “supervisor” password allows changes that may more seriously affect the operation of the fire pump controller. A “supervisor” level password might be required by well-trained maintenance personnel, pump distributors or manufacturers representatives. The “operator” level password is shown below. This password is also on a label affixed to the back of the Mark II on the inside of the controller door. Although this password may be changed, it is not recommended. Cost to the owner may be incurred if the factory password is changed, then forgotten. When prompted for the Operator Level password enter the following key sequence: METER-MENU-METER-MENU-PRINT-ENTER

The Supervisor Level password will be supplied as necessary or will already be known by the person performing the changes to the controller.

Interlock Jumper NOTICE: The controller is shipped with an interlock jumper in place to prevent motor starting during the setup procedure. The Mark II display will have the INTERLOCK ON LED turned on and the ALARM LED will blink. This will not interfere with the setup procedure. This interlock jumper must be removed for the controller to operate automatically. Remove the jumper wire connected between field terminals #1 and #10 when setup is complete.

Sequence of Operation Limited Service Fire Pump Controllers

Introduction The following information is in reference to Wiring Schematic, Publication WS750-50. Note: Firetrol schematics are drawn showing the equipment in a de-energized state. Energizing The Controller 1. Close the circuit breaker by moving the handle to the “ON” position. Note: The unmarked, red, “Interlock” jumper wire, located between terminals #1 & #10 on the Relay PC board, (TB1), will prevent the MarkII unit from starting the electric motor automatically. This jumper wire should only be removed after the pressure settings have been input, and the system pressurized at, or above the Stop set point. 2. The factory programmed MarkII unit will begin “initialization”. Upon completion, the display will confirm system pressure, the time, date, and “Interlock ON”, which is an alarm condition and will cause the yellow alarm LED to flash. Any other existing alarm conditions (low system pressure, phase reversal, phase failure, deluge open), will also be sequentially and continuously displayed at this time, until each is rectified. 3. With the “interlock” jumper wire still in place, the electric motor can only be started by depressing the START push-button, located on the flange of the controller enclosure, or by engaging the Emergency Run Mechanism. After all alarm conditions have been rectified, and the system pressurized at or above the Stop pressure setting, then the “interlock” jumper may be removed for the controller’s automatic operation (“standby”). With the “interlock” jumper removed, a drop in system pressure to the MarkII’s set Start point, will start the electric motor. 4. The deluge valve contacts are only operational if the factory jumper has been removed and a normally closed deluge valve contact has been placed between terminals 1 and 8 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). The Remote Start is only operational if a normally open, momentarily closed contact is wired to terminals 6 and 7 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). If engaged, the Emergency Run Mechanism will cause the pump motor to run as described in the Emergency Starting and Stopping section. Automatic Start and Stop 1).

1CR is energized. 1CR normally open contact closes, allowing voltage to the motor starter circuits (see section Pump Motor Starting Sequence for more information) The minimum run time is a part of the MarkII’s Menu, “Timer Settings” . The minimum run timer’s factory setting is 10 minutes. In this mode, minimum run time begins when the pressure falls at or below the “Start” set point, calling for the pump motor to run. When pressure drops, this signals the MarkII to output via the Relay PC board, directly to the 1CR relay coil. The relay’s normally open contact closes, allowing line voltage to the coil of the 1M contactor. The contactor’s 3 normally open contacts close, allowing 3 phase line voltage to the electric motor, and the motor runs. Simultaneously, the minimum run function of the MarkII is activated, maintaining voltage on the 1CR relay coil, and keeping the motor running until the 10 minutes expire. At this time, with pressure restored at or above the Stop set point, 1CR relay coil will de-energize, re-opening its normally open contact, de-energizing the 1M contactor coil. It’s 3 normally open contacts will reopen, causing the motor to de-energize and stop. If pressure is restored at, or above the Stop set point of the MarkII, and even if minimum run time has not yet expired, the manual STOP push button located on the flange of the controller can be depressed to manually stop the engine. This also resets the minimum run time function of the MarkII. Manual Start and Stop The pump motor may be manually started by using either the START push-button mounted on the flange of the enclosure or by using a normally open, momentarily closed, remote start push-button connected to terminals 6 and 7. When the START push-button is depressed, or a remote start signal is seen through terminals 6 & 7, the MarkII will output through the relay pc board to 1CR relay coil and the pump motor will be energized and run as described in section “Automatic Start & Stop”. The MarkII’s minimum run time feature will not be activated. The pump motor will continue to run until the STOP push-button is depressed. When the STOP push-button is depressed, 1CR relay coil is de-energized, interrupting the voltage to the 1M contactor coil, which causes the motor to stop. Deluge Valve Operation To operate the controller utilizing a deluge valve, the wire jumper between terminals 1 and 8 must be removed and a normally closed, open to run deluge valve contact wired in its place.

When the deluge valve contact opens, relay 1CR is energized, closing it’s normally open contact to the 1M contactor coil, and the motor runs. When the deluge valve contact closes, relay 1CR is de-energized, re-opening it’s normally open contact, deenergizing the 1M contactor, and the motor stops. Shutdown Interlock Operation The shutdown interlock, if used, is a normally open, closed to interlock contact wired to terminals 1 and 10. When the interlock contact is closed, relay 1CR cannot be energized by inputs to the MarkII from the pressure transducer, or the deluge valve. The controller may be started manually by depressing the manual START push button. See the specific starting operation for more details. Pump Motor Starting Sequence Whenever relay 1CR is energized, it’s normally open contact closes, allowing voltage to the coil of the motor starting contactor. During full voltage starting the following sequence occurs. 1CR normally open contact closes, energizing contactor 1M . 1M connects motor terminals T1, T2, and T3 to the power source. This starts the motor in the full voltage configuration, in which the pump motor draws 100% of its normal inrush current and supplies 100% of its normal starting torque.

Emergency Starting and Stopping The controller is equipped with an emergency run mechanism for use in the event of a coil burnout or other electrical problem which would prevent normal starting of the pump motor. The mechanism attempts to both electrically and mechanically start the pump motor. When the emergency run mechanism is utilized, a e-run contact is closed, energizing 1M coil . This, in effect, attempts to electrically start the pump motor. The emergency run mechanism also manually closes the 1M contactor, starting the motor. This will run the motor as long as the main three phase power is available. If the pump motor is running via the emergency run mechanism, DO NOT release the mechanism to stop the motor. Place the circuit breaker handle in the off position, then release the emergency run mechanism. Releasing the mechanism while the motor is running could result in damage to the motor or the motor contactor. Note: The emergency run mechanism is not intended for, nor should it be used as a testing device. Its sole purpose is to attempt to start the pump motor in the event of a failure.

Sequence of Operation Part Winding Fire Pump Controllers

Introduction Reference to Wiring Schematic, Publication WS1250-50. Note: Firetrol schematics are drawn showing the equipment in a de-energized state. Energizing The Controller 1. Close the Isolating switch/Circuit breaker by moving the handle to the “ON” position. Note: The unmarked, red, “Interlock” jumper wire, located between terminals #1 & #10 on the Relay PC board, (TB1), will prevent the MarkII unit from starting the electric motor automatically. This jumper wire should only be removed after the pressure settings have been input, and the system pressurized at, or above the Stop set point. 2. The factory programmed MarkII unit will begin initialization. Upon completion, the display will confirm the system pressure, the time, date, and “Interlock ON”, which is an alarm condition and will cause the yellow alarm LED to flash. Any other existing alarm conditions (low system pressure, phase reversal, phase failure, deluge open), will also be sequentially and continuously displayed at this time, until each is rectified. 3. With the “interlock” jumper still in place, the electric motor can only be started by depressing the START push-button, located on the flange of the controller enclosure, or by engaging the Emergency Run Mechanism. After all alarm conditions have been rectified, and the system pressurized at or above the Stop pressure setting, then the “interlock” jumper may be removed for the controller’s automatic operation (“standby”). With the “interlock” jumper removed, a drop in system pressure to the MarkII’s set start point, will start the electric motor. 4. The deluge valve contacts are only operational if the factory jumper has been removed and a normally closed deluge valve contact has been placed between terminals 1 and 8 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). The Remote Start is only operational if a normally open, momentarily closed contact is wired to terminals 6 and 7 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). If engaged, the Emergency Run Mechanism will cause the pump motor to run as described in the Emergency Starting and Stopping section. Automatic Start and Stop 1). The controller pressure transducer initiates the automatic start circuits for the pump motor. When pressure falls at or below the MarkII Start setting, relay 1CR is energized. 1CR normally open contact, closes

to the coil of 1M starter, allowing voltage to one of the motor windings (see section Pump Motor Starting Sequence for more information). At the same time the MarkII initiates the internal transition time, factory set for 2 seconds. Once this expires, 6CR is energized. 6CR normally open contact closes to the coil of 2M starter, allowing the second motor winding to be connected to the line voltage. With all motor windings connected, the motor will be at full speed. Note: Allow the motor to either run for 5 minutes, or allow 5 minutes between starts, for initial start component cool down period. The minimum run time is a part of the MarkII Menu, “Timer Settings”. The minimum run time factory setting is 10 minutes. In this mode, minimum run time begins when the pressure falls at or below the “Start” set point, calling for the pump motor to run. When pressure drops, this signals the MarkII to output via the Relay PC board, directly to the 1CR relay coil. The relays normally open contact closes, allowing line voltage to the coil of 1M contactor. The contactor’s 3 normally open contacts close, allowing voltage to one of the windings of the motor. After a 2 second delay, 6CR relay coil is energized. 6CR normally open contact closes, allowing line voltage to the coil of 2M contactor. The contactor’s 3 normally open contacts close, allowing voltage to the second winding of the motor and the motor now runs at full speed. Simultaneously, the minimum run function of the MarkII is activated, maintaining voltage on the 1CR and 6CR relay coils, keeping the motor running until the 10 minutes expire. At this time, with pressure restored at or above the Stop set point, 1CR and 6CR coils will deenergize, re-opening the normally open contacts, deenergizing the 1M and 2M coils, causing the motor to stop. If pressure is restored at or above the Stop set point of the MarkII, and even if the minimum run time has not yet expired, the manual STOP push button, located on the flange of the controller can be depressed to manually stop the engine. This also resets the minimum run time function of the MarkII. Manual Start and Stop The pump motor may be manually started by using either the START push-button mounted on the flange of the enclosure or by using a normally open, momentarily closed, remote start push-button connected to terminals 6 and 7. When the START push-button is depressed, or a remote start signal is seen through terminals 6 & 7, the MarkII will output through the relay pc board to 1CR relay coil and the sequence of events described in section “Automatic Start & Stop” will begin. The MarkII minimum run time feature will not be activated.

The pump motor will continue to run until the STOP push-button is depressed. When the STOP push-button is depressed, 1CR & 6CR relay coils are de-energized, interrupting the voltage to 1M & 2M coils, which causes the motor to stop. Deluge Valve Operation To operate the controller utilizing a deluge valve, the wire jumper between terminals 1 and 8 must be removed and a normally closed, open to run deluge valve contact wired in its place. When the deluge valve contact opens, relay 1CR coil is energized, and the sequence of events described in section “Automatic Start & Stop” will begin. The MarkII minimum run time feature is also activated. When the deluge valve contact closes, and minimum run time expires, relays 1CR & 6CR are de-energized, interrupting the voltage to 1M & 2M coils, which causes the motor to stop. Shutdown Interlock Operation The shutdown interlock, if used, is a normally open, closed to interlock contact wired to terminals 1 and 10. When the interlock contact is closed, relay 1CR cannot be energized by inputs to the MarkII from the pressure transducer, or the deluge valve. The controller may be started manually by depressing the START push button. See the specific starting operation for more details.

Emergency Starting and Stopping The controller is equipped with an emergency run mechanism for use in the event of a coil burnout or other electrical problem which would prevent normal starting of the pump motor. The mechanism attempts to both electrically and mechanically start the pump motor. When the emergency run mechanism is utilized, the 1M & 2M coils are energized, closing the contacts leading to the motor windings. This, in effect, attempts to electrically start the pump motor in the two winding configuration. The emergency run mechanism also manually closes the 1M and 2M contactors, starting the motor in the two winding configuration. This will run the motor as long as the main three phase power is available. If the pump motor is running via the emergency run mechanism, DO NOT release the mechanism to stop the motor. Place the isolating switch/circuit breaker handle in the off position, then release the emergency run mechanism. Releasing the mechanism while the motor is running could result in damage to the motor or the motor contactors. Note: The emergency run mechanism is not intended for, nor should it be used as a testing device. Its sole purpose is to attempt to start the pump motor in the event of a failure.

Pump Motor Starting Sequence Whenever relay 1CR, and sequentially, after transition time expires, 6CR coils are energized, line voltage is allowed to the coils of the motor starting contactors, 1M & 2M. During Part Winding starting the following sequence occurs. 1). 1CR contact closes, energizing contactor 1M . 1M connects motor terminals T1, T2, and T3 to the power source. This starts the motor in a one winding configuration, in which the pump motor draws approximately 65% of its normal inrush current and supplies approximately 42% of its normal starting torque. 2). When the MarkII transition time expires (factory set at 2 seconds), 6CR relay is energized, allowing contactor 2M to energize, connecting terminals T7, T8, and T9 to the power source. The motor is now connected in the two winding configuration, providing full torque.

Sequence of Operation Wye-Delta Open Transition Fire Pump Controllers

Introduction Reference to Wiring Schematic, Publication WS1300-50. Note: Firetrol schematics are drawn showing the equipment in a de-energized state Energizing The Controller 1. Close the Isolating switch/Circuit breaker by moving the handle to the “ON” position. Note: The unmarked, red, “Interlock” jumper wire, located between terminals #1 & #10 on the Relay PC board, (TB1), will prevent the MarkII unit from starting the electric motor automatically. This jumper wire should only be removed after the pressure settings have been input, and the system pressurized at, or above the Stop set point. 2. The factory programmed MarkII unit will begin initialization. Upon completion, the display will confirm the system pressure, the time, date, and “Interlock ON”, which is an alarm condition and will cause the yellow alarm LED to flash. Any other existing alarm conditions (low system pressure, phase reversal, phase failure, deluge open), will also be sequentially and continuously displayed at this time, until each is rectified. 3. With the “interlock” jumper still in place, the electric motor can only be started by depressing the START push-button, located on the flange of the controller enclosure, or by engaging the Emergency Run Mechanism. After all alarm conditions have been rectified, and the system pressurized at or above the Stop pressure setting, then the “interlock” jumper may be removed for the controller’s automatic operation (“standby”). With the “interlock” jumper removed, a drop in system pressure to the MarkII’s set start point, will start the electric motor. 4. The deluge valve contacts are only operational if the factory jumper has been removed and a normally closed deluge valve contact has been placed between terminals 1 and 8 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). The Remote Start is only operational if a normally open, momentarily closed contact is wired to terminals 6 and 7 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). If engaged, the Emergency Run Mechanism will cause the pump motor to run as described in the Emergency Starting and Stopping section. Automatic Start and Stop 1).

to the coils of 1M & 1S starters, allowing voltage to the line in the WYE connection. (See section Pump Motor Starting Sequence for more information). At the same time the MarkII initiates the internal transition time, factory set for 2 seconds. Once this expires, 6CR is energized. 6CR normally open contact closes to the coil of 2M starter, 1S coil is de-energized and mechanically locked out (open transition), allowing the motor to be reconnected in DELTA, applying full voltage to the windings. Note: Allow the motor to either run for 5 minutes, or allow 5 minutes between starts, for initial start component cool down period. The minimum run time is a part of the MarkII Menu, “Timer Settings”. The minimum run time factory setting is 10 minutes. In this mode, minimum run time begins when the pressure falls at or below the “Start” set point, calling for the pump motor to run. When pressure drops, this signals the MarkII to output via the Relay PC board, directly to the 1CR relay coil. The relays normally open contact closes, allowing line voltage to the coils of 1M & 1S contactors. The contactors’s 3 normally open contacts close, allowing voltage to the line in the WYE connection of the motor. After a 2 second delay, 6CR relay coil is energized. 6CR normally open contact closes, allowing line voltage to the coil of 2M contactor, and de-energizing 1S contactor (open transition). The 2M contactor’s 3 normally open contacts close, allowing reconnection in DELTA of the motor and the motor now runs at full speed. Simultaneously, the minimum run function of the MarkII is activated, maintaining voltage on the 1CR and 6CR relay coils, keeping the motor running until the 10 minutes expire. At this time, with pressure restored at or above the Stop set point, 1CR and 6CR coils will de-energize, re-opening the normally open contacts, de-energizing the 1M and 2M coils, causing the motor to stop. If pressure is restored at or above the Stop set point of the MarkII, and even if the minimum run time has not yet expired, the manual STOP push button, located on the flange of the controller can be depressed to manually stop the engine. This also resets the minimum run time function of the MarkII. Manual Start and Stop The pump motor may be manually started by using either the START push-button mounted on the flange of the enclosure or by using a normally open, momentarily closed, remote start push-button connected to terminals 6 and 7. When the START push-button is depressed, or a remote start signal is seen through terminals 6 & 7, the MarkII will output through the relay pc board to 1CR relay coil and the sequence of events described in section

“Automatic Start & Stop” will begin. The MarkII minimum run time feature will not be activated. The pump motor will continue to run until the STOP push-button is depressed. When the STOP push-button is depressed, 1CR & 6CR relay coils are de-energized, interrupting the voltage to 1M & 2M coils, which causes the motor to stop. Deluge Valve Operation To operate the controller utilizing a deluge valve, the wire jumper between terminals 1 and 8 must be removed and a normally closed, open to run deluge valve contact wired in its place. When the deluge valve contact opens, relay 1CR coil is energized, and the sequence of events described in section “Automatic Start & Stop” will begin. The MarkII minimum run time feature is also activated. When the deluge valve contact closes, and minimum run time expires, relays 1CR & 6CR are de-energized, interrupting the voltage to 1M & 2M coils, which causes the motor to stop. Shutdown Interlock Operation The shutdown interlock, if used, is a normally open, closed to interlock contact wired to terminals 1 and 10. When the interlock contact is closed, relay 1CR cannot be energized by inputs to the MarkII from the pressure transducer, or the deluge valve. The controller may be started manually by depressing the START push button. See the specific starting operation for more details.

The controller is equipped with an emergency run mechanism for use in the event of a coil burnout or other electrical problem which would prevent normal starting of the pump motor. The mechanism attempts to both electrically and mechanically start the pump motor. When the emergency run mechanism is utilized, the 1M & 2M coils are energized, closing the contacts leading to the motor windings. This, in effect, attempts to electrically start the pump motor in DELTA. The emergency run mechanism also manually closes the 1M and 2M contactors, starting the motor in DELTA. This will run the motor as long as the main three phase power is available. If the pump motor is running via the emergency run mechanism, DO NOT release the mechanism to stop the motor. Place the isolating switch/circuit breaker handle in the off position, then release the emergency run mechanism. Releasing the mechanism while the motor is running could result in damage to the motor or the motor contactors. Note: The emergency run mechanism is not intended for, nor should it be used as a testing device. Its sole purpose is to attempt to start the pump motor in the event of a failure.

Pump Motor Starting Sequence Whenever relay 1CR, and sequentially, after transition time expires, 6CR coils are energized, line voltage is allowed to the coils of the motor starting contactors. During Autotransformer starting, the following sequence occurs. 1). 1CR contact closes, energizing contactors 1S & 2S. 1S & 2S connect the motor to the power source, through the autotransformer. The autotransformer is used to supply reduced voltage when starting the motor. The autotransformer has three taps for selection of starting current and torque: 50% tap for 150% current and 25% torque, 65% tap for 250% current and 42% torque and the 80% tap for 384% current and 64% torque. 2). When the MarkII transition time expires (factory set at 2 seconds), 6CR relay is energized, allowing contactor 1M to energize, de-energizing and mechanically locking

Sequence of Operation Solid State Reduced Voltage Fire Pump Controllers

Introduction Reference to Wiring Schematic, Publication WS1900-50. Note: Firetrol schematics are drawn showing the equipment in a de-energized state. Energizing The Controller 1). Close the Isolating switch/Circuit breaker by moving the handle to the “ON” position. Note: The unmarked, red, “Interlock” jumper wire, located between terminals #1 & #10 on the Relay PC board, (TB1), will prevent the MarkII unit from starting the electric motor automatically. This jumper wire should only be removed after the pressure settings have been input, and the system pressurized at, or above the Stop set point. 2). The factory programmed MarkII unit will begin initialization. Upon completion, the display will confirm the system pressure, the time, date, and “Interlock ON”, which is an alarm condition and will cause the yellow alarm LED to flash. Any other existing alarm conditions (low system pressure, phase reversal, phase failure, deluge open), will also be sequentially and continuously displayed at this time, until each is rectified. 3). With the “interlock” jumper still in place, the electric motor can only be started by depressing the START push-button, located on the flange of the controller enclosure, or by engaging the Emergency Run Mechanism. After all alarm conditions have been rectified, and the system pressurized at or above the Stop pressure setting, then the “interlock” jumper may be removed for the controller’s automatic operation (“standby”). With the “interlock” jumper removed, a drop in system pressure to the MarkII’s set start point, will start the electric motor. 4). The deluge valve contacts are only operational if the factory jumper has been removed and a normally closed deluge valve contact has been placed between terminals 1 and 8 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). The Remote Start is only operational if a normally open, momentarily closed contact is wired to terminals 6 and 7 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). If engaged, the Emergency Run Mechanism will cause the pump motor to run as described in the Emergency Starting and Stopping section. . Automatic Start and Stop 1). The pressure transducer initiates the automatic start circuits for the pump motor. When pressure falls at or below the start setting, relay 1CR is energized. 1CR contact will close, initiating the soft start feature. Another

1CR contact closes, and activates the factory set (10 second) Bypass timer feature in the MarkII. The minimum run timer feature in the MarkII is also activated. When the soft starter reaches full speed, the 1MS start contact will open. Relay 6CR will energize and it’s contact will close, energizing contactor 1M, connecting the motor at full voltage. The Bypass time in the MarkII will time out 10 seconds after the call to start. If the soft starter fails to reach full speed, the 6CR contact will close, energizing contactor 1M, connecting the motor at full voltage. Should the soft starter encounter an over temperature condition, the over-temperature switch in the softstarter will activate, energizing relay 6CR and the MarkII display will indicate “Over Temperature Bypass”. The 6CR contact will close, energizing contactor 1M, connecting the motor at full voltage. The minimum run time is a part of the MarkII Menu, “Timer Settings”. The minimum run time factory setting is 10 minutes. In this mode, minimum run time begins when the pressure falls at or below the “Start” set point, calling for the pump motor to run. When pressure is restored at or above the Stop set point, 6CR coil will deenergize, re-opening the normally open contacts, deenergizing the 1M coil, and the softstarter is called to ramp down the motor. If pressure is restored at or above the Stop set point of the MarkII, and even if the minimum run time has not yet expired, the manual SOFT STOP, or EMERGENCY STOP push buttons, located on the flange of the controller can be depressed to manually stop the engine. This also resets the minimum run time function of the MarkII. The pump motor will run until the SOFT STOP pushbutton or the EMERGENCY STOP push-button is depressed. When the SOFT STOP push-button is pressed, an input to the softstart STOP contact, initializes the ramp down sequence. If pressure has been restored, the ramp down sequence will continue until the motor is stopped. If pressure has not been restored at or above the STOP setting, the pump motor will restart when the push-button is released. When the EMERGENCY STOP push-button is pressed, it’s input to the softstart STOP contact signals the soft starter to stop immediately, bypassing the soft stop, whether pressure has been restored or not. Manual Start and Stop The pump motor may be manually started by using either the START push-button mounted on the flange of the enclosure or by using a normally open, momentarily closed, remote start push-button connected to terminals 6 and 7. When the START push-button is depressed, or a remote start signal is seen through terminals 6 & 7, the

MarkII will output through the relay pc board to 1CR relay coil and the sequence of events described in section “Automatic Start & Stop” will begin. The MarkII minimum run time feature will not be activated. The pump motor will continue to run until the SOFT STOP, or the EMERGENCY STOP push-button is depressed. Note: SOFT STOP ramps the motor down to stop. EMERGENCY STOP shuts the motor down immediately. Deluge Valve Operation To operate the controller utilizing a deluge valve, the wire jumper between terminals 1 and 8 must be removed and a normally closed, open to run deluge valve contact wired in its place. When the deluge valve contact opens, relay 1CR coil is energized, and the sequence of events described in section “Automatic Start & Stop” will begin. The MarkII minimum run time feature is also activated. When the deluge valve contact closes, and minimum run time expires, relays 1CR & 6CR are de-energized, de-energizing 1M coil. The SOFT STOP contact on the soft starter is closed, and the motor will ramp down to stop. Shutdown Interlock Operation The shutdown interlock, if used, is a normally open, closed to interlock contact wired to terminals 1 and 10. When the interlock contact is closed, relay 1CR cannot be energized by inputs to the MarkII from the pressure transducer, or the deluge valve. The controller may be started manually by depressing the START push button. See the specific starting operation for more details. Pump Motor Starting Sequence Whenever relay 1CR, and sequentially, after the bypass time expires, 6CR coils are energized, line voltage is connected to the motor windings. During Solid State Reduced Voltage starting the following sequence occurs. 1). 1CR contact closes to the soft start (1MS) START contact. 1MS connects motor terminals T1, T2, and T3 to the power source. This motor will accelerate along a ramp beginning at 40% of normal starting current and 15% of full voltage torque.

to energize, and reconnect terminals T1, T2, and T3 to the power source. The motor is now running at full voltage, and speed. The SOFT START module is now in standby. Emergency Starting and Stopping The controller is equipped with an emergency run mechanism for use in the event of a coil burnout or other electrical problem which would prevent normal starting of the pump motor. The mechanism attempts to both electrically and mechanically start the pump motor. When the emergency run mechanism is utilized, the 1M coil is energized, closing the contacts leading to the motor windings. This, in effect, attempts to electrically start the pump motor. The emergency run mechanism also manually closes the 1M contactor, starting the motor at full voltage, bypassing the SOFT START module. This will run the motor as long as the main three phase power is available. If the pump motor is running via the emergency run mechanism, DO NOT release the mechanism to stop the motor. Place the isolating switch/circuit breaker handle in the off position, then release the emergency run mechanism. Releasing the mechanism while the motor is running could result in damage to the motor or the motor contactor. Note: The emergency run mechanism is not intended for, nor should it be used as a testing device. Its sole purpose is to attempt to start the pump motor in the event of a failure. Power Available and Phase Reversal LEDs The green POWER AVAILABLE led is illuminated whenever the system is energized. PHASE FAILURE illuminated led, DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE CONTROLLER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. Hazardous voltages may exist. PHASE REVERSAL led is illuminated when phases are reversed. Under a phase reversal condition POWER AVAILABLE LED and PHASE REVERSAL LED are both illuminated. THE CONTROLLER WILL NOT UTILIZE THE SOFT START FEATURE IF A PHASE REVERSAL CONDITION EXISTS. Phase reversal is an unsafe condition. The normal standby controller condition is: • POWER AVAILABLE - illuminated green • PHASE REVERSAL - Not illuminated • PHASE OK (on SOFT START module) - Illuminated red

2). When the MarkII bypass time expires (factory set at 10 seconds), and the motor has reached full current and torque, 6CR relay is energized, allowing contactor 1M
