PBA100 Rev0305PreLim INTRODUCTION Overview The Fire Research PumpBoss pressure governor uses state of the art programmable microprocessor technology and operates in one of two modes, pressure or RPM. It will maintain a steady pump discharge pressure within system capabilities by controlling the engine speed.
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim Specifications The PumpBoss is available in various models. Each model is programmed to interface with specific engines. All models provide the same functions, controls, and digital readouts for the management of pump discharge pressure. Display Module Supply Power: 9 - 30 VDC Supply Current: 0.5 Amps...
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PumpBoss pressure governors are compatible with the following engines: PBA101 Cummins IS Series PBA102 Detroit Diesel PBA104 Navistar PBA105 Caterpillar PBA106* Ford PBA107 Mack PBA108 Scania PBA109* PBA110 Mercedes * Note: An adapter and cable assembly replaces the basic 8-pin cable when connecting the to a Ford 6.0 or GMC engine.

PBA100 Rev0305PreLim Contol Panel The control panel is waterproof and takes up 4 5/8 by 6 3/4 inches of panel space. All controls and indicators are located on the front of the control panel. (Refer to Controls and Indicators.) Pressure Sensor The pressure sensor is mounted on the pump discharge manifold.
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim Controls and Indicators All controls and indicators are located on the front of the control module. (Refer to Figure 1.) See Operation and Programming Sections for more information. OIL PRESSURE LED Display Shows engine oil pressure. The LEDs will be green when the pressure is within normal limits and red when it is not.
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim Control Knob When rotated changes the pressuer or RPM setting. The setting will increase or decrease proportionally to the speed and direction the control knob is rotated. RPM LED The LED is on to indicate operation in the RPM mode. PSI LED The LED is on to indicate operation in the PSI mode.
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim INSTALLATION Install Control Module 1. Measure and mark mounting location for control module panel cutout and mounting screw holes. Make sure there is clearance behind the panel for the module and cables before cutting holes. Refer to Figure 2 for layout and dimensions.
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim Install Pressure Sensor The discharge pressure sensor is mounted on the discharge manifold of the pump. If there is a check valve in the discharge side of the pump, mount the discharge sensor before the check valve. T-fittings can be used to mount the pressure sensors. Note: Install the pressure sensor upright so water in the end of the sensor is able to drain back into the pipe.
Pin 6 on the 12-pin connector at the rear of the control module is provided to connect an optional buzzer. Connect the ground side of the buzzer to pin 6. Maximum current through pin 6 is 300 mA. The buzzer ordered from FRC requires a 1-1/8 inch diameter mounting hole. (Refer to the Wiring section.)
PBA100 Rev0305PreLim OPERATION On power-up the PumpBoss will be in normal operating mode. The RPM display will show engine RPM, the three LED bar graphs will be green indicating readings within normal ranges, and the message display will alternate between showing the date and time.

PBA100 Rev0305PreLim Display Stored Data Both the RPM and the message displays are used to show stored data. Accumulated Hours Accumulated hours are stored in memory for engine operation, pump operation, last incident, and current incident. The menu button allows the operator to gain access to this stored data.
