FD100 SERIES
General Description
The Cutler Hammer FD100 microprocessor based
Diesel Engine Fire Pump Controller is designed to
control and monitor 12 or 24 volt, listed diesel fire
pump engines. These controllers are listed by UL
and ULC, and approved by Factory Mutual and CSA,
as well as meeting or exceeding the requirements
of NFPA 20 and NFPA 70.
The FD100 Diesel Controller includes dual 10Amp,
current limiting, solid state battery chargers which
maintain the proper charge on both sets of batteries
at all times.
All FD100 Controllers come with the features
required for starting and stopping the diesel engine,
monitoring the engine operating conditions, and
alarming (audible and visible) for the engine,
controller, and system conditions.
Operation
These controllers automatically start the fire pump
diesel engine to provide adequate water pressure
to the fire protection system. The FD100 monitors
the fire sprinkler system pressure using a pressure
transducer. Upon detecting a drop in system
pressure, the microprocessor sends a start signal to
the engine, initiating its crank cycle. The starting
process can be initiated by other causes such as
deluge valve opening or remote start pushbutton.
The crank cycle consists of six periods of 15
second duration, separated by five rest periods of
15 second duration alternating on each set of
batteries. If the engine does not start within this
cycle, audible and visible Fail to Start alarm is
activated. Should voltage of either battery fall
below 67% of normal during the crank cycle, a
Battery Failure alarm will be activated and the
FD100 will alter the sequence by continuing the
process utilizing the remaining good battery.
The crank cycle terminates when the engine starts
and the FD100 continues to monitor the batteries
and engine conditions, such as: water temperature,
oil pressure, and speed (rpm).
The FD100 comes factory set in the "Automatic
Stop" mode. It can be easily programmed for
Manual Stop. In this configuration, the engine must
be shutdown by either placing the main switch in
the "OFF" position or, if all starting conditions are
satisfied, by pressing the "Stop" pushbutton on the
outside of the enclosure.
The FD100 can be programmed for Auto Stop,
which incorporates the RPT timer, without the
addition of any auxiliary equipment.
The FD100, Diesel Fire Pump Controller is designed and
built to the latest requirements of NFPA 20.
Display / Function Panel
Behind the breakable panel on the front of
the FD100 is the Display/Function Panel -
the information and programming center for
the controller. This panel includes (from
top to bottom), alarm and condition
LED indicators, main switch membrane
pushbuttons, LCD battery and system
pressure readout, programming keys and
function keys.
The TRI-colour LED annunciator lights are
color keyed to the urgency of the indication.
Green:
Normal running
conditions.
Yellow:
Supervisory alarms.
Red:
Critical alarms.
The LCD readout includes all programming
parameters in addition to battery and
pressure information.
The F1, F2, F3, and Menu keys are
used to program the FD100 - set points,
timers, etc.. The Function keys are self
explanatory.
Relay Board
Clearly labeled pull-apart terminal blocks for
ease of wiring and connections.
All relays labeled with full
description as well as
corresponding three letter
designation as indicated on the
wiring diagram.
Visual LED indication to show
energized state of relay.
All plug-in relays are identical
3PDT, allowing complete
interchangeability.
All terminal numbers are indicated
on both the stationary and moveable
portion of the terminal blocks.
Pump Room Trouble and Engine
Trouble common alarm relays are
standard.
