METRON
RECOMMENDED LONG TERM STORAGE
It is recommended that controllers be inspected upon receipt at job or storage facility for any damage that may
have incurred during shipment.
Metron should be notified of any long term storage requirements, so the controllers can be shipped in plywood
crates (completely enclosed). It is recommended that the controller be returned to its crate after inspection,
resealed and stored in an environmentally controlled atmosphere (room temperature) free of moisture, splashing
liquids or dust.
It is also recommended when controllers are to be stored in excess of two (2) months that a moisture inhibitor
(desiccant) be installed in various points within the shipping crate and replaced periodically.
Prior to installation, another visual inspection should be made to insure that moisture or excessive dirt is not
present within the controller.
When installing conduit for wiring, extra care should be taken to insure that metal particles, cut wires, etc. do not
fall into any of the components.
Should a Metron serviceperson be required for repair due to inadequate storage or handling, the customer will
assume all expenses for PARTS, FOOD, LODGING along with STANDARD SERVICE DEPARTMENT
LABOR CHARGES for repair.

The Metron Series MP600 High Voltage Fire Pump Controllers
are a modular concept system, which utilize “state-of-the-art”
vacuum bottle technology. The primary control element in the
MP600 is a fixed mount style vacuum bottle contactor with
isolating disconnect switch. Integral to the disconnect switch are
“R” rated current limiting cartridge style fuses. Space is provided
for storage of three spare fuses on the rear of the outer door.
Two fused potential/control transformers (PTs) are also
contained within the cabinet. These transformers provide both
input signals to the monitor circuits as well as control power for
the MP600. For testing purposes, it is possible to supply
120VAC power directly to the control section through a built-in
test receptacle and test switch.
The MP600 has both front and rear access. Front access is for
easy access to the control circuits. Rear access is provided for
termination of the incoming power and termination of the motor
connections. Incoming power and motor connections enter
through the bottom of the controller enclosure.
Locked rotor motor protection is provided by the microprocessor
control unit per the requirements of NFPA.
The microprocessor control unit also provides contacts for
remote alarm of phase reversal, low voltage, single phase, loss
of voltage, motor tripped, and motor overload. The Operator
Interface Device (OID) has LED lamps for Power On, Power
Failure, System Failure, Motor Overload, and Motor Tripped. The
OID also displays three phase voltage and current along with
system water pressure.
The standard MP600 is supplied in a NEMA type 2 enclosure
which is fabricated from 12 gauge steel. Minimum floor
clearance of 12 inches (304.8 mm) is provided with allowances
for floor anchoring. The MP600 is protected with two hinged
removable, gasketed doors, equipped with a 3-point latch, one
door for the control section and one door for the high voltage
section. Access to the vacuum contactor is provided by a
lockable and interlocked second door, which requires the
contactor to be disengaged from the bus prior to opening the
door. Control wiring and components are accessible behind their
own access door. Access to control components does not
require motor de-energization.
A solid copper ground bus is provided through the incoming high
voltage and motor termination compartments.

MP430 Fire Pump Controller
Standard and Optional Features
Standard Features
Series MP430/MP435
Wye- Delta motors have all six leads brought out to the motor
terminal box. These leads are connected by the controller first in
the Wye configuration which draws only 33% of normal starting
current and develops 33% of normal starting torque. After a short
time delay, the controller then connects the motor winding in a
Delta configuration, applying full voltage and drawing full load
running current and developing full running torque.
With the MP430 open transition types, there is a very short period
of time where no voltage is applied to the motor during transition
from Wye to Delta connections. This condition can cause current
surges or disturbances being fed back into the main power
source. The magnitude of the surges is proportional to the phase
difference between the voltage generated by the running motor
and the power source. These transients can in some instances,
affect other equipment which are sensitive to current surges.
The MP435 closed transition types provide a smoother transition
from Wye to Delta by keeping the motor continuously energized
during the transition period. This is accomplished by means of
resistors which are connected in the circuit during the momentary
period of transition from Wye to Delta.
Metron Wye-Delta Controllers incorporate a mechanical as well
as electrical interlock to prevent the Wye connecting contactor
from being energized at the same time as the Delta contactor.
An emergency start lever to close starting contactor independent
of automatic control circuits. When used, this lever will bypass
the reduced current start feature and start the motor with full
inrush current drawn from the power source.

Standard and Optional Features
Standard Features
Series MP450
Autotransformer Fire Pump Controllers incorporate a
heavy-duty autotransformer with taps available at 50%,
65%, and 80% to reduce the starting voltage to the motor.
The autotransformer is factory wired to the 65% taps
unless specified otherwise.
The starting inrush current drawn from the power source is
reduced to approximately 25% of normal when using the
50% tap, 42% of normal on 65% tap, and 64% of normal
on 80% tap.
Taps other than listed above are also available. Consult
factory for information.
An adjustable timing relay is provided to control time
between reduced voltage start and full voltage operation.
An emergency start handle to close starting contactor
independent of automatic control circuits is also supplied
as standard. When used, this handle will bypass the
reduced voltage start feature and start the motor with full
inrush current drawn from the power source.

Standard Features
Function - The MP700 series Soft Start electric fire
pump controllers utilizes a state of the art solid state
motor controller. The motor voltage is raised to an initial
torque value. This is an adjustable value of locked rotor
torque. The motor voltage is gradually increased during
the acceleration ramp time. The acceleration ramp time
is set to 10 seconds as required by NFPA 20, but it is
adjustable from approximately 3 to 30 seconds.
After a minimum run period and all starting causes have
returned to normal, the solid state controller will initiate a
stop sequence. This function will reduce surges in the
pumping system during stopping of a centrifugal pump by
smoothly decelerating the motor at a selectable rate.
This will reduce the possibility of surges occurring in the
system.

Standard and Optional Features
Function - The MP800 series Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD) electric motor fire pump controllers utilizes a state
of the art VFD with Swinging Choke Filter that is suitable
for operation of a motor rated for VFD operation. The
controller is designed for operation of motors that operate
with a 1.0 service factor. The controller compensates for
the effects of changing suction pressures that result in a
higher pump discharge pressure. The VFD provides soft
start (ramp up) and soft stop (ramp down) to minimize
water hammer. Due to the operation characteristics of
the VFD the inrush current is greatly reduced. The
current limit is factory default at 125% of full load current
but is field adjustable.

Power Transfer Switches
For Electric Motor Driven Fire Pumps


Metron MTS Automatic Transfer Switch provides operation of electric fire
pump motors from a alternate source of power when the normal source
fails. They may be used with any Metron electric fire pump controller—
Across the Line, Primary Resistance, Part Winding, Wye-Delta, Auto
Transformer or Solid State Reduced Voltage Types. These transfer
switches are an integral part of the fire pump controller. They are factory
assembled, shipped and installed as a part of the controller.
The combination fire pump controller/transfer switch is listed by
Underwriters’ Laboratories’, Factory Mutual, and meets all the latest
requirements of NFPA’s Standard for Installation of Centrifugal Fire
Pumps.
The MTS Automatic Transfer Switch is a mechanically held double throw
switch with a fast acting drive mechanism. Operating coils are
momentarily energized from the source to which the load is being
transferred. The switch is interlocked electrically and mechanically to
prevent both services form feeding the load at the same time. The
transfer switch is capable of manual (non-electrical) operation.
Under voltage sensing devices are supplied which monitor each phase of
normal service. When the voltage of any phase falls below the pre-set
level the transfer switch automatically transfers to the alternate source.
Voltage and frequency sensing devices are provided to monitor one
phase of the alternate source and will inhibit transfer to the alternate
source until adequate voltage and frequency are available.
The transfer switch provides a special circuit that de-energizes the motor
control circuit five (5) second prior to transfer in either direction to prevent
high current transients due to an out-of-phase condition between the
motor and the source to which it is being connected.
A contact is provided to actuate the engine starting circuit when normal
source fails. To prevent false starts, a time delay (factory set at 1/2 to 3
seconds) is provided between normal source failure and actuation of the
engine start contact.
An isolation switch ahead of the alternate source input terminals of the
transfer switch is provided. When the switch is opened, auxiliary contacts
in the generator start circuit prevent starting if commanded to by the
transfer switch. An additional auxiliary contact on the isolation switch is
provided for remote annunciation of isolation switch position.
An adjustable time delay (0-30 min.) prevents restoration to normal
service for a pre-set period of time to assure normal line stabilization.
An auxiliary N.O. contact is provided for remote annunciation of transfer
to emergency. This contact is operated by the transfer mechanism as a
direct indication of switch position.
Pilot lights for indication of Switch in Normal position, Switch in
Emergency position, and Emergency Isolation Switch in Off. Audible
indication of Emergency Isolation Switch in Off is also included.
A test switch is also provided which simulates loss of normal power so
that the transfer switch operation can be checked without interrupting
normal service to the fire pump controller.

pressure record for 30 days. The pressure log samples shall
be time and date stamped and stored in a permanent nonvolatile SD memory card. The pressure log can be searched
by each sample, by minute, or by hour through the OID.
Event Log: The event log will store up to 300 of the most
current events. These events can include, but are not limited
to, any of the following events/alarms:

Options
Option H: Space Heater
If the ambient atmosphere is especially damp, a space
heater rated at 100 watts may be supplied to reduce
moisture in the cabinet. A thermostat is supplied as standard
with this option. A humidistat may be substituted if specified.
Option T: Weekly Test Start Solenoid
In some cases it may be desirable to have the electric motor
run at a preset time each week for approximately 30 minutes.
The controller includes a built in weekly test function. This
option complements the standard function by simulating a
loss of pressure. Simulation of pressure loss is
accomplished by opening a solenoid valve, which reduces
the system pressure below the starting pressure of the
controller.
Option W: Omit Legs
For systems where the controller is mounted on a common
skid with the pump and motor, the legs of the controller may
be omitted, 3” (76.2mm) channels or wall mounting brackets
can be supplied. If specified, lifting eyes may also be
supplied.

MP15 Jockey Pump Controller
Series MP15 Micro Processor
Full Voltage, Across the Line
Metron’s Model MP15 Jockey Pump is small, lightweight,
technologically advanced microprocessor based controller
intended for across-the-line starting of squirrel cage motors.
MP15 controllers are for fire protection system applications
where it is desirable to maintain uniform system water pressure
by the use of an automatic pressure maintenance pump.
The MP15 Jockey Pump Controller serves over-all system
efficiency by detecting minor fire protection water system
leakage. By bringing jockey or make-up pumps on line, they
maintain pressure within set point limits without unnecessary
cycling of the main fire pump.

Additive Pump Controller
Diesel Engine Additive “Foam” Pump Controller


The Metron Model FD4F-J controller is designed to
specifically meet the latest NFPA 20 and UL 218 standards
for Diesel Engine Additive Pump Controllers.
This controller implements the latest component and
microprocessor logic technology available. It incorporates
years of experience in the design and manufacture of fire
pump control systems.
The components are installed in a NEMA 2 dust and drip
proof enclosure with optional NEMA 3R, 4, 4X, or 12 ratings
available. The Operator Interface Device (OlD), manual start
pushbuttons, stop push button and Auto-Off-Manual selector
switch are located on the exterior door for easy access. The
battery disconnect switches are located on the main
mounting panel inside the enclosure. An internal variable has
been added to control the pressure relieving dump valve.
The dump valve contact must be supplied with an external
power source for operation of the valve. The dump valve
contact will close upon the controller receiving a start
command such as a pressure drop or deluge valve signal.
The dump valve will remain open after the engine starts for
approximately 10 seconds.
The controller’s logic is based on discrete components using
the latest technology with high quality, highly reliable printed
circuit boards (PCBs) and PCB mounted relays. The
controller uses a microprocessor to control automatic engine
and alternation between batteries during cranking. It also
monitors and records system alarms and pressure, battery
voltage and engine functions. This controller is suitable for
all engine types with either ‘energized to run’ or ‘energize to
stop’ fuel solenoids.
Inside the controller are two independent fully automatic
microprocessor controlled battery chargers rated at 10 Amps
each. The battery chargers operate in such a manner as to
ensure that the engine batteries are fully charged within 24
hours. PCB mounted LED’s are provided for indication of
AC Power On, and Battery Power On.
The controller is supplied with wall mounting brackets as
standard. It may be supplied with optional 24” (609.6 mm)
legs for free standing floor or skid mounting. Stainless steel
