Sequence of Operation
Diesel Engine Fire Pump Controllers
ENERGIZING THE CONTROLLER
1. Place MANUAL-OFF-AUTO selector switch in OFF
position
2. Close circuit breaker 1CB to allow single phase AC
voltage to the battery chargers.
3. Close circuit breakers 2CB and 3CB to allow battery
DC voltage to the battery chargers, and all other
DC voltage components in the controller.
Note : Selector switch in OFF position is an alarm
condition, and the Alarm LED will be flashing. Also, the
START and STOP pressure set points should be
programmed into the Mark II, and the System should
be pressurized at or above the STOP set point. See the
Setup and Operating Instructions Manual for details.
4. Selector switch should be placed in AUTO for
automatic start on loss of pressure. The Mark II will
show system pressure, and battery voltage. Main
Switch in Auto LED will be illuminated.
5. The controller is now in standby condition and is
ready to start the diesel engine should a start
signal be received.
MANUAL START
1. Place MANUAL-OFF-AUTO selector switch in
MANUAL position.
a. Alarm LED will flash.
b. Main Switch in Auto LED will go out.
c. Engine Oil Pressure Low LED will illuminate.
d. Engine fuel and water solenoid will energize
through terminal #1, and engine shutdown circuit
will de-energize through terminal #12.
2. Press CRANK ON BATTERY #1 and/or CRANK ON
BATTERY #2 push-button(s).
a. Engine starter will energize through terminals
#9 or #10 respectively.
Note: Hold the crank push-button until engine starts,
then release.
CAUTIONEngine starting motor may be damaged due
to excessive continuous cranking. Limit continuous
cranking time to fifteen (15) seconds. Allow at least fifteen
(15) seconds rest before attempting to re-crank.
b. Engine Running LED will illuminate once the
engine is running.
c. Engine Oil Pressure Low LED should go out
once oil pressure is satisfied.
Note: Engine mounted oil pressure switch must open
and de-energize terminal #4 within 15 seconds after the
engine is running. If not, the controller mounted audible
alarm will sound.
CAUTIONLow Oil Pressure condition outlined above
may result in engine damage. IMMEDIATELY place the
selector switch in the OFF position. DO NOT RUN
ENGINE until problems have been resolved.

SHUTDOWNOTHER THAN
CATERPILLAR ENGINES
Shutdown normally occurs when pressure is restored at
the transducer and the minimum run time expires. Mark
II performs the functions of a holding circuit to allow the
timing of the crank circuit and also of energizing wire 1
(terminal #1) on the engine, energizing the fuel solenoid.
When all start conditions are met, the fuel solenoid deenergizes, stopping the engine.
The above sequence requires that Mark II be programmed
for automatic shutdown (minimum run time). If
programmed for Manual Stop Only, the engine must be
stopped manually.
SHUTDOWNCATERPILLAR ENGINES
Caterpillar engines require that the fuel solenoid be
energized to shutdown. (Main selector switch, MANUALOFF-AUTO must be in OFF or AUTO). This allows wire
12 (terminal #12) to become energized, and the
shutdown circuit on the engine to become energized.
These conditions allow the engine fuel solenoid to
energize to stop the engine if Mark II is programmed for
Automatic Stop.
OVERSPEEDSHUTDOWN
Engine overspeed is a shutdown condition and is
detected by contacts mounted on the engine which signal
through terminal #3. OSR1 will energize, Engine
Overspeed LED will illuminate. Mark II prevents any
call to start, disabling the weekly test circuit and the
manual Engine test circuit. Terminal #1 remains
energized to supply voltage to overspeed circuits on the
engine.
The Caterpillar engine requires energizing the fuel
solenoid to stop. In an overspeed condition, wire 12,
terminal #12, will be energized, stopping the engine.
Overspeed disables the crank cycle, prevents all calls
to start, disables the weekly test circuit and the manual
test circuit.
