DEMANDS INFO FORM Kathy.pdf

Diesel engine fire pump controllers are designed to automatically start a diesel engine driven fire pump

upon detection of a pressure drop in the fire protection system. A diesel engine fire pump controller

provides automatic & manual starting and stopping. An automatic start is controlled by a pressure transducer

or by remote automatic devices such as a deluge valve. A manual start is controlled by remote manual button

or by controller pushbutton. The automatic shutdown option provides a 30-minute automatic stop after automatic

start once all starting causes have returned to normal. The diesel engine fire pump controller includes two battery

chargers to ensure the engine batteries are continuously charged.

Methods of Starting

AUTOMATIC START
The controller will start automatically on low pressure detection by the pressure sensor when the pressure drops

below the cut-in threshold.
MANUAL START
The engine can be started by pressing the CRANK 1 or and/or CRANK 2 push button, regardless of the system pressure,

when the Main Selector switch is in the HAND position. The Fuel Solenoid Valve will open as soon as a CRANK button is

pressed and will remain in this state.
REMOTE MANUAL START
The engine can be started from a remote location by momentarily closing a contact of a manual push button.
REMOTE AUTOMATIC START, DELUGE VALVE START
The engine can be started from a remote location by momentarily opening a contact connected to an automatic device.

The controller must be in automatic mode.
SEQUENTIAL START
In case of a multiple pump application, it may be necessary to delay the starting of each motor when there is a water pressure

drop to prevent simultaneous starting of all motors.

FLOW START, HIGH ZONE START
The pump can be started by opening/closing a contact on the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input.
WEEKLY START
The engine can be started (and stopped) automatically at the preprogrammed time.
TEST START
The motor can be started manually by pressing the run test button.

The company’s mission is to protect the community fire safety, in line with the spirits of “integrity,

win-win”,glad to provide high cost-effective products and high-quality service for our customers.

Fire fighting is the last protection for life and property. These include strict technical, quality and testing requirements

for fire fighting equipment that are specified in the UL/FM product standard.

Under the premise of fully learning and understanding these standards, our company has invested huge sums of money

and energy in research and development of new products. Many innovative technologies have been developed through

product R&D. The pumps and diesel engines have reached the level of first class in the world. The research and

development of these two critical products has put an end to the long history in the domestic marketplace of taking

non-certified ordinary water pumps and diesel engines and using them in life safety applications. This has also completely

changed the domestic technology level of this industry and has allowed NM FIRE to lead the market

Start by meeting the customer obvious needs, follow by continuously deepening and exploring potential customer demand,

meanwhile, plant the philosophy into our soul.
