Product Description
Low Suction Pressure Shutdown Alarm Panels
Fire Pump Controllers
• FTA200-D
FTA200-E
Mounted on the enclosure door are the pilot lights
for visible alarm indication, the audible device for
audible alarm indication and the SILENCE ALARM
push-button.
Each pilot light will illuminate to indicate its alarm
condition and will remain lighted until the abnormal
condition has been corrected. The audible alarm
will sound when the alarm conditions occur and will
continue to sound until the abnormal condition has
been corrected or the SILENCE ALARM push-button has been pressed. Pressing the SILENCE
ALARM push-button will silence the audible alarm
but will not extinguish the pilot light. If another alarm
condition occurs the audible alarm will again sound
until silenced by the SILENCE ALARM push-button
or until the abnormal condition has been corrected.
A pressure switch for monitoring the suction pressure is mounted on the side of the enclosure.
