Page 3: Installation
The mounting feet provide the necessary 12 in. (305 mm) clearance for current carrying parts. Storage If the controller is not installed and energized immediately, Tornatech recommend following the instructions from the chapter 3 of the NEMA ICS 15 standard. Wiring and Connections Water Connections The controller must be connected to the pipe system according to AS 2941 –... - Page 4 Energy Consumption Diesel Controller with charger per battery Model / State Current VDC Output Float / Boost 12VDC Low charge (Float) 13.7V / 14.4V 12VDC Full charge (Boost) 24VDC Low charge (Float) 27.4V / 28.8V 24VDC Full charge (Boost) Sizing Wiring between controller and engine (terminals 11,13,14 on controller engine terminal) must be stranded #10 AWG or 6mm2 as minimum.
- Page 5 Quick Start-Up Guide The rating label is the most important label. It must be read carefully to ensure the compatibility between the controller and the installation. Verify that the controller is installed securely on the wall, or optionally on the mounting stand. Verify the Main Selector Switch is in the Left position labelled “CRANK ISOLATE.
- Page 6 Open the controller's door and verify that the disconnect switch and all circuit breakers are in the “OFF” position. Verify and/or install the proper water connections for the water input and the drain. They must be securely installed and tightened. Refer to the silkscreen markings on the plastic cover.
- Page 7 Connect all cables between the engine control panel and the controller engine terminals with the 16 pins quick connect connector. Connect the AC main line and ground to the AC terminal in the controller. Activate the disconnect switch (if present) and all breakers by setting them to the "on" position. The controller will boot up for the first time.
- Page 8 Once the controller has booted up, the “First Start Up” page appears. Press “User Login” and enter a valid authorization code. Once logged in, press “Power”. The “Power” page will automatically validate the power if no alarm is detected and if the power meets the requirements.
- Page 9 Press “Engine First Startup” and turn the Main Selector Switch to the “NORMAL” position. Note: Before starting the engine, verify that the engine has been officially commissioned (by an authorized engine representative or service dealer) and that the exhaust pipe is connected properly. You can choose to skip this step completely by selecting “Skip engine validation step”.
- Page 10 Press “Pressure”. - Verify that the pressure reading on the screen matches with the calibrated pressure gauge installed on the sensing line. - Choose the desired units of measurement for pressure reading. - Adjust, if required, the range of the digital pressure gauge at Max. Pres. - Insert the Cut-Out and Cut-In pressure values of the fire pump.

On this page we can also configure the Diesel Card connector J104 pin 012 for a ‘’Engergize to Stop solenoid’’ or a ‘’Energize to Start solenoid’’. Others parameter related to Energize to stop could be found in Control Timers menu. From the “Home”...

The maximum allowable pressure is also indicated on the gauge and will scale the gauge accordingly. U- Crank Isolate Indicator: Displays the current mode on mode change. If the mode is crank isolate it will be shown in permanence.
