Product Description
Full Voltage Starting Electric
Fire Pump Controllers
Description—Firetrol® FTA1000 Full Voltage Fire
Pump Controllers are intended for use with electric
motor driven fire pumps where the capacity of the
power source permits full voltage starting. Full voltage is applied to the motor as soon as the controller
is actuated. The controller monitors, displays and
records fire pump system information.
Full voltage starting is simple and low cost and is
preferred whenever the utility or emergency generator
set will permit this type of starting.
Approvals—Firetrol fire pump controllers are listed
by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., in accordance with
UL218, Standard for Fire Pump Controllers, CSA,
Standard for Industrial Control Equipment, and approved by Factory Mutual. They are built to meet or
exceed the requirements of the approving authorities
as well as NEMA and the latest editions of NFPA 20,
Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, and NFPA 70,
National Electrical Code.
