FD/FT30 - Across-the-line
FD/FT40 - Part winding
FD/FT50 - Primary resistor
FD/FT60 - Autotransformer
FD/FT70 - WYE-Delta (Star-Delta) open transition
FD/FT80 - WYE-Delta (Star-Delta) closed transition
FD/FT90 - Soft start
Product Features
Touchscreen Display
General
Speed of commissioning, configuration and troubleshooting are
more critical to businesses today more than ever. Through the
use of a 7” touchscreen, users can easily program all site specific
setpoints through an intuitive menu structure, view all critical system
information, and troubleshoot quickly and accurately via on-screen
diagnostics.
Automatic Transfer Switch Integration
Going away from the multiple screen approach, the EPCT Fire
touchscreen integrates both the Fire Pump Controller and Automatic
Transfer Switch into one display enabling the user to effectively
manage programming and operation from one source.
Commissioning Simplified
The Startup tab features all controller related commissioning tasks
such as: Quick Setup, Setup Phase Reversal, Flow Test, Manual/
Automatic Starts, and Test Alarms.
UL Type Rating
The touchscreen display has been tested in accordance with UL and
achieves a type 4X rating.
Programming Menu
Startup tab
This tab system enables the user to complete all controller related
commissioning tasks. Each sub-menu within the Startup tab guides
the user through step-by-step, intuitive screens to quickly and effec-
tively complete the startup and commissioning process.
Panel Setup tab
All variables relating to the panel, such as language, date and time,
nominal voltage, etc., are located in the Panel Setup tab. For all
programming points within the Panel Setup tab, refer to the instruc-
tion manual: MN124016EN.
Help tab
The help tab provides end users service contact information from
the company that commissioned the unit (if programmed), factory
contact information, and a QR code to download the instruction
manual onto a mobile device.
Pressure Settings tab
Contains a variety of pressure settings that may be programmed to
suit site requirements. Some key settings include: Start Pressure,
Stop Pressure, Low Pressure Alarm, High Pressure Alarm, Low
Suction Shutdown, Low Foam Shutdown, Pressure Units, and the
ability to calibrate the transducer.
Timer Values tab
This tab system contains the programming point for all fire pump
controller related timers. These timers are: Minimum Run Time,
Acceleration Time, Sequential Start Time, Fail to Start Time, Fail to
Stop Time, and Weekly Motor Test Timer.
ATS Settings tab (if equipped)
The ATS Settings tab will only be enabled on units equipped with an
automatic transfer switch. Programming points within this tab only
pertain to the operation of the transfer switch.
Alarm Setpoints tab
There are seven (7) programmable alarm points within this tab
system: Phase Reversal, Phase Failure Alarm Setpoint, Motor
Overload Setpoint, Transducer Fail Pump Start, Abort Motor Test on
Low Voltage, Voltage Alarm Settings, and Frequency Alarm Settings.
Inputs/Outputs tab
The I/O board is capable of accepting ten (10) custom inputs that
can be programmed for seventeen (17) predefined conditions. The
output relays can be programmed for sixty-one (61) separate condi-
tions. Additional relays can be added through the use of a single or
multiple optional relay boards.
History/Statistics/Diagnostics tab
This tab system allows the customer/technician to view historical
data, controller statistics, controller diagnostics, and startup informa-
tion. To assist, the controller can filter for specific events or between
certain dates to speed up troubleshooting.
I/O Board
Power Supply
The redesigned I/O board is equipped with a full voltage power
supply capable of accepting voltage inputs between 200-600VAC
three phase, or 240VAC single phase.
Customer Input Connections
Connection terminals are provided at the top of the I/O board for
external customer connections that can be programmed through the
touchscreen display.
Output Relays
The I/O board features four (4), 250VAC, 8A, 2 Form-C relays desig-
nated for the following: Common Alarm, Power/Phase Failure, Phase
Reversal, and Pump Run. Each relay socket has a surface mount LED
to indicate the relay’s coil status.
Optional Boards
The controller can accept up to four (4) additional option boards:
optional relay board, MODBUS communication board, secondary
4-20mA device board, and an alarm board. The controller has provi-
sions to allow future optional boards to be added with plug-and-play
functionality.
