Diesel Engine Fire Pump Controller Type EFP ... - Metron Eledyne

Diesel Engine Fire Pump ControllerType EFP/FD4e v3The Metron Eledyne type FD4e controller is designed to specifically meet the latest NFPA 20 and UL 218 standards forDiesel Engine Fire Pump Controllers.This controller implements the latest component and microprocessor logic technology available. It incorporates years ofexperience in the design and manufacture of fire pump control systems.The components are installed in a NEMA 2 (IP54) dust and drip proof enclosure with optional NEMA 4 or 4X (IP65)ratings available. The Operator Interface Device (OlD) and manual start pushbuttons are located on the front door andused in conjunction with the key operated mode switch. For emergency use, the mode switch key is located in a breakglass box. The stop pushbutton is also mounted on the door.The controller’s logic is based on discrete components using the latest microprocessor technology with high quality,highly reliable printed circuit boards (PCBs) and PCB mounted relays. The controller uses a microprocessor to controlautomatic engine and alternation between batteries during cranking. It also monitors and records system alarms andpressure, battery voltage and engine functions. This controller is suitable for all engine types with either ‘energised torun’ or ‘energise to stop’ fuel solenoids.Inside the controller are two independent fully automatic microprocessor controlled battery chargers rated continuouslyat 10 Amps each. The battery chargers operate in such a manner as to ensure that the engine batteries are fullycharged within 24 hours.The controller is supplied with lifting eyes as standard. It may be supplied with optional plinths for freestanding floor mounting.RoHS & WEEE compliantOptionally UL Listed:

Included asstandard, the controller is suitable for250VAC to 110VAC input power at noadditional cost.Controller Standard Features• The controller includes two 10 Ampbattery chargers that are fullyautomatic.• Two crank pushbuttons and two batterycircuit breakers for protection and on/offoperation.• Key operated mode switch.• AUTO, MANUAL and TEST each havean illuminated LED for controller modeindication.• Operator Interface Device (OlD) with 4lines by 20 character display with largecharacter backlit LCD capable of beingread in both direct sunlight or darklighting conditions. English or Spanishlanguages are standard and selectablethrough the OlD.• The OlD includes 12 pushbuttons foreasy screen navigation, system modechanges, alarm reset, horn silencing,and lamp test.• The built in annunciator includesmulticolored LED’s for alarm and modeindications. The annunciation LED’shave removable labels that allow theuser to easily make changes, ifadditional alarms and/or languagechanges are needed.• All controller settings can beprogrammable through the OlD.Programming changes are protected bytwo levels of passwords to preventunauthorized modification.• All features are enabled or disabledthrough the OlD, so no jumpers orexternal wires are needed, makingcontrol logic field modification veryeasy.• The OlD displays System Pressure,Start Pressure, Battery 1 Voltage,Battery 2 Voltage, Battery 1 ChargerAmps, and Battery 2 Charger Ampsproviding the operator instant systemstatus. Other information that isdisplayed on the OlD is the Leadstarting battery, Current time and date,Number of starts, Total engine runhours, displayed countdown timers for:Sequential engine start and enginestop, and Time until AC Power fail start.• The state of the art microprocessorbased logic includes a real time/dateclock that can operate for a minimum of14 days without DC power connected tocontroller. The continuous pressurelog, event log and all user changeableset points and system data is stored innon-volatile flash memory andpermanently stored and not lost evenduring extended power losses.• One RS485 Serial Port is included asstandard.• If there is ever a need to change theinternal components all wiring to theinternal board is removable without theuse of any special tools or soldering.Auxiliary alarms and contactsAs standard the controller includes 6discrete auxiliary inputs, 9 form ‘C’auxiliary relay outputs. These auxiliaryinputs and outputs are in addition to thosemandated by NFPA 20. All auxiliaryinputs, outputs, and OlD LED’s are fieldprogrammable making it very easy tomake changes to the controller in thefield. Through the OlD the operator canselect any 9 of the following auxiliaryalarms which will be recorded in the eventlog and annunciated with an LED and/oroutput relay contact:ENGINE QUIT FAULTPRESSURETRANSDUCER FAULTPUMP ON DEMANDLOW DISCHARGEPRESSUREHIGH DISCHARGEPRESSUREREMOTE START SIGNALDELUGE VALVE STARTHIGH FUEL LEVELFUEL SPILLFUEL TANK RUPTURELOW PUMP ROOMTEMPERATURERESERVOIR LOWRESERVOIR EMPTYRESERVOIR HIGHFLOW METER ONRELIEF VALVE OPENLOW SUCTIONPRESSUREData logging:HIGH ENGINE OILTEMPERATURELOW JACKET WATERFLOWLOW JACKET WATERLEVELLOW HYDRAULICPRESSUREGAS DETECTIONLOW FIREWATERPRESSUREAIR DAMPER CLOSEDAIR DAMPER OPENLOW PURGE PRESSURELOW GEAR OILPRESSURELOW COOLANT LEVELHIGH GEAR OILTEMPERATUREHIGH VIBRATIONLOW FUEL PRESSUREHIGH EXHAUSTTEMPERATUREHIGH FUELTEMPERATUREPUMP ON DEMANDThe controller has two separate data logsfor storing system data. The logs arereadable through the OlD or printable onthe internal optional printer. These logsare as follows:Pressure Log: The Pressure log providesa continuous pressure recording for aminimum of 7 days. Depending onsettings determined by the operator thepressure log can store more than 30 daysof data. Each time the pressure logrecords a pressure it includes the timeand date of the reading and is stored inpermanent non-volatile flash memory on aSD memory card. The data recorded inthe pressure log can be searched by eachsample, by minute, or by hour allowing foreasy access to specific data.Alternatively, the data can be read on aPC computer via the SD memory card.

Event Log: The event log will store aminimum of 3000 events. These eventsinclude any of the followingevents/alarms:BATTERY 1 FAULTBATTERY 2 FAULTBATTERY 1 LOWVOLTAGEBATTERY 2 LOWVOLTAGECHARGER 1 FAULTCHARGER 2 FAULTAC POWER FAILENGINE OVERSPEEDENGINE FAILED TOSTARTENGINE QUITENGINE LOW OILPRESSUREENGINE HIGH WATERTEMPPRESSURETRANSDUCER FAULTSTOP PUSHBUTTONPRESSEDSYSTEM AUTO MODEENGINE LOCKOUTSIGNALSYSTEM AUTO MODESYSTEM MANUALMODESYSTEM OFF MODESYSTEM TEST RUNALARM RESETLOW PRESSURECONDITIONLOW PRESSURE STARTDELUGE STARTREMOTE STARTAC POWER FAIL STARTHORN SILENCEDPRESSURE DROPPlus any of the 9 programmable auxiliaryalarms listed above.Every event or alarm that is recordedincludes the following data with therecorded event or alarm:• Time and Date of Event or Alarm• System Pressure• Descriptive Text Message of theEvent/Alarm• System Auto Mode Status• Engine Running Status• Charger 1 Status• Charger 2 Status• Battery 1 Status• Battery 2 Status• AC Power Status• Fuel Level StatusController OperationAutomatic Mode:Starting conditions such as pressure drop,and deluge valve start, will cause the useradjustable sequential start delay timer tobegin operation.
