3.2 Start Methods
- Inici manual: In manual mode, the fire pump engine can be started by pressing the "Start I" or "Start II" button regardless of the system pressure.
- Remote Manual Start: In manual mode, the fire pump engine can be started by closing the "Remote Manual Start" input.
- Test Start: In auto mode, press the "Test" button to open the bypass valve, the sensor detects the pressure drop, then the fire pump engine will start.
- Inici automàtic: In auto mode, when the pressure drops below the start pressure, the controller will automatically start the fire pump engine when the pressure sensor detects the low pressure.
- Remote Auto Start: In auto mode, the fire pump engine can be started by opening the "Remote Auto Start" or "Deluge Valve Start" input.
- Inici del flux: In auto mode, the fire pump engine can be started by closing the "Flow/Zone Start" input.
- Weekly Start: In auto mode, according to the set value of scheduled start parameters, the fire pump engine can be automatically started at a pre-programmed time.
- Inici seqüencial: For the application of multiple pumps, it is necessary to set an automatic start delay for all fire pump engines to prevent them from starting simultaneously when pressure drops.
- Auto Start Sequence:
- When the conditions for auto start are satisfied, it will enter the "Start delay".
- After the start delay is over, the fuel relay will activate and the crank relay activates at the same time. If the pump unit does not start successfully within the "Crank Time", the fuel relay and the crank relay will deactivate; it will enter the "Crank Rest Time", and wait for the next start.
- At any start, if the pump unit starts successfully, the fuel relay continues to activate, while the crank relay deactivates, and the pump unit enters the normal running status.
- Within the set start times, if the pump unit does not start successfully, the controller will issue a start failure alarm; at the same time, the fuel relay and crank relay will deactivate, the ETS relay will activate, and it will deactivate after the stop detection time (10s) is over.
3.3 Stop Methods
- Parada manual: In manual mode, press the "Stop" button to remove the manual start signal.
- Parada automàtica: The fire pump engine can only be automatically stopped after it has been started automatically and the automatic stop function is enabled. Once the automatic stop function is activated, if there are no other operation reasons, the fire pump engine will be automatically stopped when the pressure has recovered for 10 minutes (above the stop pressure set value).
- Flow Stop: If the controller has been started by "Flow/Zone Start" input and the signal has returned to normal, the fire pump engine will be stopped if there are no other operation reasons.
- Mode de parada: Regardless of the present starting reason, once the controller is switched to stop mode, the fire pump engine will be stopped.
- Stop Sequence: When all the start signals are removed or the controller is switched to stop mode, the controller will execute the stop process, the fuel relay will deactivate, the ETS relay will activate, and it will deactivate after the stop detection time (10s) is over. In auto mode, if the engine running signal is detected, the stop failure fault will be issued.
