Pressure and Event Recording

The system shall be capable of logging pressure data and operational events with time/date stamp. The system shall display operational events for the life- time of the controller and display the pressure data in text or graphical form.

The controller shall log the Date/Time of the first start-up and the controller total power on time from that date. The controller shall log first and last statistics for:

• First Setup
• On Time
• Engine On Time
• Engine Start Count
• Engine Last Start Time
• Min/Max/Average System Pressure
• Min/Max/Average Pump Room Temp
• Jockey Pump On Time
• Jockey Pump Start Count
• Jockey Pump Last Start Time

USB Host Controller

A USB port capable of accepting a USB Flash Memory Disk shall be provided for downloading pressure and event logs.

Serial Communications

The controller shall feature Modbus with TCP/IP frame format and a shielded fe- male RJ45 connector.

Pressure Sensing / Wet Parts

The controller shall be supplied with a solid state pressure transducer with a range of 0-500 psi calibrated for 0-300 psi (0-20.7 bar) and a run test solenoid valve. The wet parts shall be externally mounted and include a protective cover. The pressure sensing line connection to the transducer shall be 1/2-inch FNPT. Provisions for a redundant pressure transducer shall be provided.

Seismic Certification

The controller shall be certified to meet or exceed the requirements of the 2018 International Building Code, the 2019 California Building Code and OSHPD Special Seismic Certification Preapproval – OSP. The controller test criteria shall be per ICC-ES AC156 and the Seismic Parameters per ASCE 7-10 Chapter 13.

Controller Operation

On a call to start, the controller will crank from battery 1 for 15 seconds then rest for 15 seconds before cranking on battery 2. This cranking cycle shall repeat 3 times. If a running signal is not received from the engine, the controller will alarm “Fail To Start”.

The controller shall have the capability to schedule service reminders. The con- troller also provides for inputting of pump flow test data, generating and dis- playing the pump curve and permanently storing this data in memory.

Provisions shall be available for connection of external devices for Manual Re- mote Start, Automatic Remote Start and Deluge Valve Start.

DPDT dry contacts rated 8A – 250VAC shall be provided for remote indication of:

• Engine Run
• Main Switch in Hand or Off
• Controller Trouble (common)
• Engine Trouble (common)
