Yes
No
1
Place the Selector Switch in the Manual Position and Observe
_______ _______
that the Water Solenoid operated and cooling water is flowing.
2
Press the #1 Start Button and observe engine starting.
_______ _______
3
Move the Selector Switch to OFF to stop Engine
_______ _______
4
Press the #2 Start Button and observe engine starting.
_______ _______
5
Move the Selector Switch to OFF to stop Engine
_______ _______
6
Observe that the water solenoid closes off the cooling water flow.
_______ _______
7
Move the Selector Switch to AUTO
8
Relieve some water from the sensing line to drop the pressure
_______ _______
below the lower setpoint ( I = 25 psi). The pump should start.
9
Observe the Engine Running Light on the front of the Controller
_______ _______
confirm the engine speed switch closes at 15% of rated speed.
10
With Pressure above upper setting, press Red Stop button.
_______ _______
Engine should Stop and remain stopped unless pressure is low.
11
Move the Selector Switch to "OFF"

He must give the OK to proceed.

Phase 1&3 - Crank #1, Phase 2 Start #1

Phase 1&3 - Crank #2, Phase 2 Start #2

Phase 1&3 - Door Mounted, Phase 2 - Trim

Adjusting the Pressure Settings

Open the Door and look at the left edge of the Electronic Control Module.
You will find two DIP switch groupings. The upper switch group is S5 and should have all 4 switches "OFF"
The Second Group is S10 and controls several functions of the Fire Pump Controller.
#8, the top switch is for Factory Adjustment, Leave in OFF position
#7 and #6 should both be OFF to give a pressure reading interval of 5 PSI
#5 in the OFF position allows the controller to operate in PSI
#4 and #3 select the Delay Start timer setting, Both OFF give 0 Seconds delay.
#2 when OFF selects Manual Stop. Moving #2 to ON selects Automatic Stop set for 30 Min
#1 should be OFF for normal operation, Moving #1 to ON allows Pressure settings to be adjustable
Note: Alarm Display on Front of controller shows " DIP Switch Misset" while #1 is on to remind
you to Switch it OFF when pressures are set to prevent changes.
Move #1 to the ON position. Then observe front Display.
Press Cut Out until Desired Upper Pressure setting is reached. Push and hold will advance faster.
Value goes up until transducer limit is reached, the cycles back to 0 and up again.
Press Cut IN until Desired Starting Pressure setting is reached. Push and hold will advance faster.
Value goes up until CutOut limit is reached, the cycles back to 0 and up again.
Move #1 to the OFF position and unit has been set.

Testing the Controller Starting

Bat Set 1
1
Turn the Selector Switch to Manual and using one of the
Manual Start Buttons, start the engine. When the
_______
engine speed stabilizes, Move the Selector Switch to OFF.
Manual
Let the engine come to a full stop and wait for Turbo charger
to stop rotating as well, then move Selector back to Manual.
2
Place a mark on the line above for the Battery Set used
During this start. Then use the other Manual Start Button
to perform the next Manual Start. Alternate Starts until
you have 3 starts on each battery set.
3
Now move the Selector Switch to the AUTO position.
_______
Using the hand valve on the sensing line just outside the
Automatic
controller, drain some pressure from the sensing line until
the pump starts. Observe the Pump Running LED and when engine
speed stabilizes, Push STOP Button on controller. Wait for engine
to stop as before and then drop pressure again. 3 times on each battery set.
