Firetrol JockeyXG Pump Controller
FTA556E - Wye Delta Open Transition Starting
Specifications

1.0 Main Fire Pump Controller

The auxiliary jockey pump controller, if required and specified on the plans and spec-
ifications, shall be factory assembled, wired, and tested and specifically designed for
this type of service. This controller shall be of the same manufacturer as the main fire
pump controller.

1.1 Standards, Listings & Approvals

The controller shall conform to all the requirements of the latest editions of:
NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.

The controller shall be listed by:

Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., in accordance with UL508A, Standard for Industrial Controls
Canadian Standards Association CSA-C22.2, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment
(cUL)

1.2 Enclosure
The controller components shall be housed in a NEMA Type 2 (IEC IP22) painted steel,
wall mounted enclosure (UL50E Construction).

1.3 Withstand Ratings (Short Circuit Current Ratings w/Circuit Breaker)

The jockey shall have standard short circuit current ratings of:
65kA @ 480 Volts Max. (3-Phase)
14kA @ 600 Volts (3-Phase)

1.4 Construction
The jockey pump controller shall be Wye-Delta Open Transition starting. The controller
shall incorporate a circuit breaker and horsepower rated motor starter, control circuit
transformer with 24VAC secondary and 200-600V multi-tap primary, main disconnect
switch, HAND-OFF-AUTOMATIC selector switch and a 0-300 psi (0-20.7 bar) stainless
steel solid state pressure transducer.

1.5 Operator Interface

The fire pump controller shall feature an operator interface with user keypad. The
interface shall monitor and display motor operating conditions, including all alarms,
events, and pressure conditions. All alarms, events, and pressure conditions shall be
displayed with a time and date stamp. The display shall be a 128x64 Backlit LCD capa-
ble of customized graphics. The display and interface shall be NEMA rated for Type 2,
3R, 4, 4X, and 12 protection and shall be fully accessible without opening the controller
door. The display and user interface shall utilize multiple levels of password protection
for system security. A minimum of 3 password levels shall be provided.
1.6 Digital Status/Alarm Messages
The digital display shall indicate text messages for the status and alarm conditions of:
• Pump Running • Sequential Start Time • Minimum Run Time
• Low System Pressure • Pump Restart Timer • Fail to Start
• Automatic Start • System Overpressure • User Selectable #11
• Main Switch Position • User Selectable #21
1
User may choose from the following to be shown on main display (stop pressure setting,
start pressure setting, cycles/period, cycles/month, cycles/day, cycles/hour, total cycle
count, pump total run time)

The Sequential Start Timer, Minimum Run Timer/Off Delay Timer and Pump Restart Timer
shall be displayed as numeric values reflecting the value of the remaining time.

1.7 LED Visual Indicators

LED indicators, visible with the door closed, shall indicate:
• Power ON • Alarm • Pump Running

1.8 Data Logging

The digital display shall monitor the system and log the following data:
• Motor Calls/Starts • Pump Total Run Time • Pump Last Run Time
• Total Controller Pwr On Time • Last Pump Start
• Min/Max System Pressure • Last Phase Fail/Reverse
• Cycle Counts

1.9 Event Recording

Memory - The controller shall record all operational and alarm events to system memory.
All events shall be time and date stamped and include an index number. The system
memory shall have the capability of storing 3000 events and allow the user access to
the event log via the user interface. The user shall have the ability to scroll through the
stored messages in groups of 1 or 10.

2.0 Serial Communications

The controller shall feature a RS485 serial communications port for use with 2 or 4 wire
Modbus RTU communications.

2.1 Solid State Pressure Transducer

The controller shall be supplied with a solid state pressure transducer with a range of
0-300 psi (0-20.7 bar) ±1 psi. The solid state pressure switch shall be used for both display
of the system pressure and control of the fire pump controller. Systems using analog
pressure devices or mercury switches for operational control will not be accepted.
The START, STOP and SYSTEM PRESSURE shall be digitally displayed and adjustable through
the user interface. The pressure transducer shall be mounted inside the controller to
prevent accidental damage. The pressure transducer shall be directly pipe mounted
to a bulkhead pipe coupling without any other supporting members. Field connections
shall be made externally at the controller coupling to prevent distortion of the pressure
switch element and mechanism.
2.2 Seismic Certification
The controller shall be certified to meet or exceed the requirements of the 2012 Inter-
national Building Code and the 2013 California Building Code for Importance Factor 1.5
Electrical Equipment for Sds equal to 1.88 or less severe seismic regions. Qualifications
shall be based upon successful tri-axial shake-table testing in accordance with ICC-ES
AC-156. Certification without testing shall be unacceptable. Controller shall be clearly
labeled as rated for installation in seismic areas and a Certificate of Conformance shall
be provided with the controller.
NOTE: Not available on Model FTA1500 Controllers

2.3 Controller Operation

A digitally set On Delay (Sequential Start) timer shall be provided as standard. Upon a
call to start, the user interface shall display a message indicating the remaining time
value of the On Delay timer.
The controller shall include a Minimum Run Timer to allow the motor to run for a set pe-
riod of timer after starting. The timer shall be programmable through the user interface.
A pump restart delay timer shall be provided to allow the residual voltage of the motor
to decay prior to restarting the motor and to prevent severe short cycling of the motor.
The timer shall be programmable through the user interface.
A Lamp Test feature shall be included. The user interface shall also have the ability to
display the status of the system inputs and outputs.
An Audible Test feature shall be included to test the operation of the audible alarm
device (if supplied).
The disconnect switch shall be mechanically interlocked so that the enclosure door
cannot be opened with the handle in the ON position except by a hidden tool operated
defeater mechanism. The disconnect switch shall be capable of being padlocked in
the OFF position for installation and maintenance safety.

2.4 Manufacturer
The controller shall be a Firetrol brand.
