MOUNTING CONTROLLER
NOTEConsult 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 equip-
ment.
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
NOTERefer to the appropriate dimension drawing for the controller included in the instruc-
tion 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.
NOTEThe 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 an-
chors.
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

NOTEConsult 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 author-
ity 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 connec-
tions 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. Be-
fore 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.

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 LEDs
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 con-
troller. 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 LEDs 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 CIR-
CUIT 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.

ADDITIONAL FTA1900 INSTRUCTIONS
SOFT START OPERATION

The solid state soft starter is designed to start a standard NEMA B motor at reduced volt-
age. 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 call-
to-run during the sincerity test period.
The device is factory calibrated and should not require extensive field adjustment.
Printed circuit board mounted LEDs provide the following indication when on:
Phase Correct
+15 VDC Available
Gating SCRs
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 ap-
proximately 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 set-
ting.
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 decel-
eration 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 volt-
ages are approximate and may vary by motor design and load.
SW2-3 ON; SW 2-4 OFF; SW2-5 OFF 75%
SW2-3 ON; SW2-4 ON; SW2-5 OFF 84%
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 ON; SW3-4 OFF; SW3-5 OFF 36%

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 opera-
tor 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 au-
tomatically. Remove the jumper wire connected between field terminals #1 and #10
when setup is complete.

displayed. To change the setting press the ENTER key and input the operator password. Use the T
or S keys to enable or disable the feature. Press ENTER to confirm your selection.
When enabled, a log of all events are written to a USB Flash Disk (aka Flash Drive or Memory Stick).
The log is automatically written to the disk on a daily basis at the end of each day (0:00). This record
is broken down into monthly files on the disk. Each file consists of one months worth of data, broken
down into individual days. For example the recorded data for the month of August, 2007 would have
a file named 2007-08.txt. The data is recorded in text (.txt) format and can be viewed with any text
editor, but the recommended method is to import the data into a spreadsheet program such as Micro-
soft Excel. This allows for easier sorting and searching of the data.
Data can be written to the flash disk at any time by pressing the SAVE TO DISK button on the Mark
II interface. Enter the operator password. The display will show Disk Save Active while the file is
being written to the disk, the time and date will reappear when the save is complete. The name of
the file written to the disk will be Savedisk.txt. This file will contain the contents of the Event Log, the
Data Log and the System Setup. When using the SAVE TO DISK function, any previous Savedisk.
txt file on the flash disk will be overwritten with the new file.
A DISK ERROR message will be given if a flash disk is not inserted into the USB port and data is
attempting to write to the disk. To clear this error, insert a disk into the port and press the SAVE TO
DISK push-button on the Mark II. A DISK FULL ERROR will occur if insufficient space remains on the
disk for a file attempting to write to the disk. To clear this error, insert a different flash disk and press
the SAVE TO DISK push-button on the Mark II. A DISK NEAR FULL message will be given prior to
DISK FULL ERROR and a different disk should be inserted at that time.
When the autosave feature is enabled, a flash disk should be left in the USB port at all times. Under
normal conditions, a small capacity flash drive would hold many years worth of data (approx. 1MB /
Year).
