A. The fire pump controller shall be an automatic //solid state soft starter// //full voltage// //auto-transformer// //wye-delta, open circuit transition// //wye-delta, closed circuit transition// //primary resistor// // part winding // starting type. The controller shall be completely wired, ready for field connections, and be mounted in a NEMA 2 enclosure. B. Limited-service controllers are not permitted. C. Provide a minimum run timer to prevent short cycling. D. The fire pump controller shall be provided with digital readouts of the voltage of each phase, amperage of each phase, and frequency. SPEC WRITER NOTE: Delete monitors for the isolation switch open on secondary source and secondary source operation for pumps to be installed without an automatic transfer switch. E. The fire pump controller shall monitor isolation switch open on secondary source, secondary source operation, fire pump running, loss of phase or line power, and phase reversal. Alarms shall be individually displayed on the front of the fire pump controller by lighting of visual lamps. The fire pump controller shall be equipped with terminals for remote monitoring of secondary power operation, pump running, loss of power, and phase reversal. F. The fire pump controller shall be provided with voltage surge arrestors installed in accordance with NFPA 20. G. The fire pump controller shall be equipped with an USB port for information download. The controller shall be provided with a minimum 3,000 events recorder. SPEC WRITER NOTE: The automatic transfer switch below can be deleted where an alternate power source is not provided for the fire pump. 2.6 A. Automatic transfer switch shall be factory assembled and packaged as a unit with the fire pump controller. 2.7 PRESSURE SENSING LINE A. The fire pump controller and jockey pump controller shall be provided with completely separate pressure sensing lines in accordance with NFPA 20.
