Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Firetrol J ockey Pump Controllers are intended for use with fire pump systems. They are used for pressure maintenance in fire pump installations to prevent unnecessary cycling of the main fire pump. They are listed by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc., in accordance with UL508A, Standard for Industrial Controllers. They are built to meet or exceed the requirements of the approving author- ities as well as NEMA and the latest edition NFPA 70 National Electrical Code. They also comply with the requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU, the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulations (2016 No. 1091) and The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations (2016 No. 1101). These instructions are intended to assist in the understanding of the installation and operation of these controllers. Read the instructions thoroughly prior to connecting or operating the controller. If there are any unanswered questions, please contact the local Firetrol representative or the fact- ory service department.

Page 7: Installation
They are intended for pollution degree 3 and shall be installed at an altitude of no more than 2000 meters. For abnormal installation environment, consult factory. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Jockey Pump controllers have been tested for the most stringent conditions for emissions (Envir- onment B) and immunity (Environment A), hence controllers can be installed in either envir- onment. All controllers variants share the same electronics and comply to those criteria without requiring additional measures. Handling The weight of each Jockey Pump controller is indicated on the packing label. Lightweight con- trollers do not require special handling instructions, while heavy controllers are equipped with lift- ing means and should be handled following the guidelines specified in Firetrol's document "Large Enclosure Safe Handling Requirements_PN12162021". Mounting Consult the appropriate job plans to determine the controller mounting location. Tools and materials required: 1. Assortment of common hand tools of the type used to service electromechanical equip- ment. 2. Drill for drilling wall anchor holes. 3. Hole (conduit) punch. V2023.07... -
Page 8: Procedure
4. Hand level. 5. Tape measure. 6. Four anchors with bolts and washers, per enclosure. Procedure Refer to the controller dimension drawing for necessary mounting dimensions. The controller is wall mounted by using at least four (4) wall anchors, 2 anchors for the top mount- ing brackets and 2 anchors for the bottom mounting brackets. The brackets are dimensionally on the same centerline for ease in mounting. There should be a clearance of at least 6 inches around the controller to allow proper air circulation around the equipment. 1. Using either the dimension print or by measuring the distance between the center lines of the lower bracket slots, transcribe this dimension on to the wall. Note: The bottom edge of the enclosure should be a minimum of 12” (305mm.) from the floor in case flooding of the pump room occurs. 2. Drill and put anchors into the wall for the lower mounting brackets. 3. Mark on the wall, the location of the holes in the upper mounting brackets. 4. Drill and put anchors into wall for the upper mounting brackets. 5. Install bolts and washers in lower anchors. 6. Align holes in upper mounting brackets and install bolts and washers in anchors. 7. Shim anchors as necessary to ensure rear of enclosure is vertical level and enclosure is not stressed. 8. Tighten all anchor bolts. 9. ... -
Page 9: Procedure
Prior to making any field connections 1. Open door of enclosure and inspect internal components and wiring for any signs of frayed or loose wires or other visible damage. 2. Verify that the controller information is what is required on the project: 1. Firetrol catalog number 2. Motor electrical nameplate information matches controller rating for voltage, fre- quency, FLA and HP. 3. Project's 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. 4. Refer to the appropriate field connection drawing for wiring information. Procedure All field connections, remote alarm functions and AC wiring are brought into the enclosure through the top or bottom conduit entrances as indicated on the dimensional drawing. Do not place conduit entrances on the sides of the enclosure. 1. Using a hole (conduit) punch, create 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. Bring enough wire inside the enclosure to make up connections to the appropriate line, load and control terminal block points. Be sure to consult the appro- priate 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. 5. Connect motor to controller load terminals. 6. Find nameplate on Jockey Pump motor and make note of its full load amp rating. Verity the overload within the controller is set for that number of amps. 7. Verify AC line voltage, phase and frequency with the controller data plate on the enclosure ... -

Page 11: How To Configure The Controller
How to configure the controller To enter the configuration, press the enter configuration button. Use the up and down buttons to select the value to edit, then press enter. Use the increase or decrease value button to edit the value. Holding those buttons will change the value with an increased speed. Once satisfied with the value, press the enter button. Edited items are not directly applied to the controller and are marked on the screen with an asterisc. Once satisfied with your new values, exit the menu by selecting the first menu line and pressing enter, or, alternatively press the exit menu button. A confirmation popup will appear ask- ing you to apply the new values to the controller, select "yes" then press enter. You may altern- atively discard all changes made by selecting "no". Methods of Starting/Stopping Automatic mode When the mode selector is in automatic, the controller w ill start automatically on low pressure detection by the pressure sensor (below the cut-in threshold). The motor is automatically stopped after the restoration of the pressure (above the cut-out threshold), after a programmable run period timer. Manual mode When the mode selector is in manual, the controller will run the motor continuously. Off mode When the mode selector is in off, the motor cannot be started and will be stopped if it was pre- viously running. Bump for rotation Successively applying manual mode and off mode to the controller can be used to bump for the motor and check rotation. If the rotation is incorrect, turn OFF power with the door mounted dis- connect. Swap any two existing motor lead wires that are on the motor contactor in the controller V2023.07... -
