Intelligent Fire Pump Control Panel: Unwavering Protection When It Matters Most

Overview

In the critical realm of fire safety, the fire pump panel stands as the vigilant heart of any suppression system. Our Intelligent Fire Pump Control Panels are engineered to deliver unparalleled reliability, precise control, and comprehensive monitoring for electric motor-driven, diesel engine-driven, and jockey fire pumps. Designed to meet the most stringent industry standards, our panels ensure that your fire protection system is always ready to respond, providing unwavering water pressure and peace of mind.

Key Features

Robust Control & Operation

• Automatic & Manual Operation: Seamless switching between automatic start triggered by pressure drop and manual control for maintenance or testing.
• Emergency Run Feature: Overrides normal shutdown conditions to ensure continuous pump operation during an emergency, even in the presence of minor faults.
• Jockey Pump Controller Integration: Dedicated control and monitoring for jockey pumps to maintain system pressure and prevent nuisance fire pump starts.
• Start/Stop Sequencing: Configurable logic for multi-pump systems (main, standby, jockey) to optimize performance and longevity.

Advanced Monitoring & Diagnostics

• High-Resolution LCD/HMI Display: Intuitive interface providing real-time status updates, pressure readings, motor current, voltage, frequency, and detailed event logs.
• Comprehensive Fault Annunciation: Clear visual and audible alarms for critical conditions such as:
  • Pump Running / Stopped / Standby
  • Power Available / Failure
  • Low/High System Pressure
  • Motor Overload / Phase Imbalance / Under/Over Voltage (for electric pumps)
  • Engine Over-speed / Low Oil Pressure / High Engine Temperature / Low Fuel / Battery Low (for diesel pumps)
  • Controller Faults
• Event Logging & Data Storage: Timestamped records of all starts, stops, alarms, and system events for easy troubleshooting and compliance audits.
• Pressure Transducer Input: Accurate and real-time monitoring of system pressure with configurable start/stop setpoints.

Uncompromising Safety & Protection

• Motor Overload Protection: Advanced electronic overload relays to protect the pump motor from damage (for electric pumps).
• Short Circuit & Ground Fault Protection: Integrated circuit breakers or fuses for robust electrical protection.
• Surge Protection: Safeguards sensitive electronics from power surges and lightning strikes.
• Door Interlock Disconnect: Ensures safety during maintenance by disconnecting power when the enclosure door is opened.
• Battery Charger & Monitoring: Integrated, fully automatic battery charger with fault monitoring for diesel pump starting batteries.

Connectivity & Integration

• Building Management System (BMS) Compatibility: Standard Modbus RTU (RS-485) and optional Ethernet IP/BACnet MSTP for seamless integration with facility management systems.
• Remote Monitoring: Optional remote communication modules for off-site monitoring and alerts.
• Configurable Relay Outputs: Dry contacts for remote indication of critical alarms (e.g., common alarm, pump running, power failure).

Robust Construction

• NEMA Rated Enclosure: Available in various NEMA ratings (e.g., NEMA 12, NEMA 3R, NEMA 4X) suitable for indoor or outdoor installations, protecting against dust, moisture, and corrosion.
