Model ESFR-25
Early Suppression, Fast Response Pendent Sprinklers
25.2 K-Factor
General
Description
The TYCO Model ESFR-25 Pendent
Sprinklers are “Early Suppression,
Fast Response Sprinklers” having
a nominal K-Factor of 25.2. (Refer to
Figure 1.) They are suppression-mode
sprinklers that are especially advantageous as a means of eliminating the
use of in-rack sprinklers when protecting high-piled storage.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers are
primarily used for ceiling-only sprinkler protection of (but not limited to)
the following storage applications:
• Most encapsulated or non-encapsulated common materials including
cartoned, unexpanded plastics.
• Uncartoned (exposed) expanded
plastics in accordance with NFPA
13 and FM Global standards.
• Some storage arrangements of
rubber tires, roll paper, flammable
liquids, aerosols, and automotive
components.
For more specific criteria, refer to
Table 1 in this data sheet as well as
the applicable design standard.
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers
provide the system designer with
hydraulic and sprinkler placement
options not presently available
to the traditional ESFR sprinklers
having nominal K-Factors of 14.0
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions with respect to handling
and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can
permanently damage a sprinkler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail
to operate in a fire situation or cause
it to operate prematurely.
Page 1 of 4
and 16.8. In particular, the Model
ESFR-25 Sprinkler has been designed
to operate at substantially lower-end
head pressures, as compared to ESFR
Sprinklers having nominal K-Factors
of 14.0 and 16.8. This feature offers
flexibility when sizing system piping,
as well as possibly reducing or
eliminating the need for a system fire
pump.
Also, Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers permit use of a maximum deflector-toceiling distance of 18 inches (460 mm)
versus 14 inches (360 mm). Additionally, a storage arrangement of 40
ft. (12,2 m) with a ceiling height of 45
ft. (13,7 m) does not require in-rack
sprinklers as do other ESFR Sprinklers
having nominal K-Factors of 14.0. and
16.8.
Applications for the TYCO ESFR
Sprinklers are expanding beyond currently recognized installation standards. For information on research
fire tests (with flammable liquids and
aerosols, for example) that may be
acceptable to an Authority Having Jurisdiction, contact the Technical Services department.
NOTICE
The Model ESFR-25 Sprinklers described
herein must be installed and maintained
in compliance with this document, as well
as with the applicable standards of the
National Fire Protection Association, in
addition to the standards of any authorities
having jurisdiction (for example, FM
Global). Failure to do so may impair the
performance of these devices.
Owners are responsible for maintaining
their fire protection system and devices in
proper operating condition. The installing
contractor or sprinkler manufacturer
should be contacted with any questions.
In all cases, the appropriate NFPA or FM
installation standard, or other applicable
standard, must be referenced to ensure
applicability and to obtain complete
installation guidelines. The general
guidelines in this data sheet are not
intended to provide complete installation
criteria.

TABLE 1
COMMODITY SELECTION AND DESIGN CRITERIA OVERVIEW FOR
MODEL ESFR-25 PENDENT SPRINKLERS
Operation
The fusible link assembly is comprised
of two link halves that are joined together by a thin layer of solder. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
solder melts and the two link halves
separate, activating the sprinkler and
flowing water.
Installation
The TYCO Model ESFR-25 Pendent
Sprinklers must be installed in accordance with the following instructions.
NOTICE
Damage to the fusible Link Assembly
during installation can be avoided by
handling the sprinkler by the frame
arms only (that is, do not apply pressure to the fusible Link Assembly),
and by using the appropriate sprinkler
wrench. Failure to do so can lead to an
unstable link assembly and premature
activation of the sprinkler. Damaged
sprinklers must be replaced.
Obtain a leak-tight 1-inch NPT sprinkler joint by applying a minimum-tomaximum torque of 20 to 30 ft.lbs.
(26,8 to 40,2 Nm). Higher levels of
torque can distort the sprinkler inlet
with consequent leakage or impairment of the sprinkler.
Install the Model ESFR-25 Pendent
Sprinkler in the pendent position
(Figure 2).
With pipe-thread sealant applied,
hand-tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting. Do not apply pressure to the Link Assembly, and
handle the Model ESFR-25 Sprinkler only by the Frame arms.
Wrench-tighten the Model ESFR25 Sprinkler using only the WType 1 Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 2)
and by fully engaging (seating) the
wrench on the sprinkler wrench
flats (Figure 1).
After installation, inspect the Link
Assembly of each Model ESFR25 Sprinkler for damage. In particular, verify that the Link Assembly
and Hook are positioned as illustrated in Figure 1, and that the Link
Assembly is not bent, creased, or
forced out of normal position in any
way. Replace damaged sprinklers.

Model SW-20 and SW-24 — 11.2 K-factor
Extended Coverage Ordinary Hazard
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers (Standard Response)
General
Description
The Model SW-20 and SW-24, 11.2
K-factor, Standard Response, Extended Coverage Ordinary Hazard
(ECOH) Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are decorative glass bulb sprinklers designed for use in ordinary hazard occupancies per NFPA 13.
The SW-20 provides protection of coverage areas up to 16 ft. x 20 ft. (320
ft2), whereas the SW-24 provides protection of coverage areas up to 16 ft. x
24 ft. (384 ft2), as compared to standard coverage horizontal sidewall sprinklers having a maximum coverage
area of 10 ft. x 10 ft. (100 ft2) for ordinary hazard occupancies.
Horizontal sidewall sprinklers are designed for installation along a wall or
the side of a beam and are commonly
used instead of pendent or upright
sprinklers due to aesthetics or building
construction considerations, where
piping across the ceiling is not desirable.
Corrosion resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be obtained when exposed to corrosive atmospheres. Although corrosion resistant coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the appli-
cable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible corrosive atmospheres. Consequently, it
is recommended that the end user be
consulted with respect to the suitability
of these corrosion resistant coatings
for any given corrosive environment.
The effects of ambient temperature,
concentration of chemicals, and
gas/chemical velocity, should be considered, as a minimum, along with the
corrosive nature of the chemical to
which the sprinklers will be exposed.
WARNINGS
The Model SW-20 and SW-24 Sprinklers described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance
with this document, as well as with the
applicable standards of the National
Fire Protection Association, in addition
to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do
so may impair the performance of
these devices.
The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition.
The installing contractor or sprinkler
manufacturer should be contacted
with any questions.

NOTES
1. Backwall (where sprinkler is located) by sidewall (length of throw).
2. Requirement is based on minimum flow in GPM from each sprinkler. The indicted residual pressures are based on the nominal
K-factor.
3. The centerline of the sprinkler waterway is located below the deflector as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
4. Minimum spacing is for lateral distance between sprinklers located along a single wall. Otherwise adjacent sprinklers (i.e., sidewall
sprinklers on an adjacent wall, on an opposite wall, or pendent sprinklers) must be located outside of the maximum listed protection
area of the extended coverage sidewall sprinkler being utilized.

Design
Criteria
The Model SW-20 and SW-24, 11.2
K-factor, Standard Response, Extended Coverage Ordinary Hazard
(ECOH) Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are for use in ordinary hazard
occupancies with non-combustible unobstructed construction and with a
ceiling slope not exceeding 2 inches
per foot (9.2°), using the design criteria
provided in Table A, (as well as any
additional requirements specified in
NFPA 13 for Extended Coverage Sidewall Spray Sprinklers).
A 36 inch (914 mm) clearance must be
maintained between the top of the
sprinkler deflector and any miscellaneous storage.
The SW-20 and SW-24 may be installed on sloped ceilings in loading
docks with a maximum roof slope of 4
inches per foot (18.4°) as shown in
Figure 4 and using the design criteria
provided in Table A.
The SW-20 and SW-24 can be used
only for exposed applications. The SW20 and SW-24 cannot be recessed.
Installation
The Model SW-20 and SW-24 Sprinklers must be installed in accordance
with the following instructions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss of
liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter of the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm).
A leak tight 3/4 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque of 10
to 20 ft.lbs. (13,4 to 26,8 Nm). A maximum of 30 ft.lbs. (40,7 Nm) of torque
is to be used to install sprinklers with
3/4 NPT connections. Higher levels of
torque may distort the sprinkler inlet
and cause leakage or impairment of
the sprinkler.
Do not attempt to make-up for insufficient adjustment in the escutcheon
plate by under- or over-tightening the
sprinkler. Readjust the position of the
sprinkler fitting to suit.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed with their centerline
perpendicular to the back wall and parallel to the ceiling. The word “TOP” on
the deflector is to face towards the
ceiling.
TFP230
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand tighten
the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type
3 (End B) Sprinkler Wrench (Ref. Figure 3). With reference to Figures 1 and
2, the W-Type 3 Sprinkler Wrench is to
be applied to the sprinkler wrench
flats.
Care and
Maintenance
The Model SW-20 and SW-24 Sprinklers must be maintained and serviced
in accordance with the following instructions:
NOTES
Before closing a fire protection system
main control valve for maintenance
work on the fire protection system that
it controls, permission to shut down the
affected fire protection system must be
obtained from the proper authorities
and all personnel who may be affected
by this action must be notified.
Absence of an escutcheon, which is
used to cover a clearance hole, may
delay the time to sprinkler operation in
a fire situation.
Sprinklers that are found to be leaking
or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion
must be replaced.
Automatic sprinklers must never be
painted, plated, coated or otherwise
altered after leaving the factory. Modified sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have not operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers - before, during,
and after installation. Sprinklers damaged by dropping, striking, wrench
twist/slippage, or the like, must be replaced. Also, replace any sprinkler that
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
Frequent visual inspections are recommended to be initially performed for
corrosion resistant coated sprinklers,
after the installation has been completed, to verify the integrity of the corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25
should suffice; however, instead of inspecting from the floor level, a random
sampling of close-up visual inspections should be made, so as to better
determine the exact sprinkler condi-
tion and the long term integrity of the
corrosion resistant coating as it may
be affected by the corrosive conditions
present.
The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of
their fire protection system and devices in compliance with this document, as well as with the applicable
standards of the National Fire Protection Association (e.g., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorities having jurisdiction. The installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted relative
to any questions.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
Inspection Service in accordance with
local requirements and/or national
codes.

Series TY-FRB — 2.8, 4.2, 5.6, and 8.0 K-Factor
Upright, Pendent, and Recessed Pendent Sprinklers
Quick Response, Standard Coverage
General
Description
The TYCO Series TY-FRB, 2.8, 4.2, 5.6,
and 8.0 K-factor, Upright and Pendent
Sprinklers described in this data sheet
are quick response, standard coverage,
decorative 3 mm glass bulb-type spray
sprinklers designed for use in light or
ordinary hazard, commercial occupancies such as banks, hotels, and shopping malls.
The recessed version of the Series TYFRB Pendent Sprinkler, where applicable, is intended for use in areas with a
finished ceiling. This recessed pendent
sprinkler uses one of the following,
r A two-piece Style 10 (1/2 inch NPT)
or Style 40 (3/4 inch NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon with 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) of
recessed adjustment or up to 3/4 inch
(19,1 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush pendent position, or a
r A two-piece Style 20 (1/2 inch NPT)
or Style 30 (3/4 inch NPT) Recessed
Escutcheon with 1/4 inch (6,4 mm) of
recessed adjustment or up to 1/2 inch
(12,7 mm) of total adjustment from the
flush pendent position.
The adjustment provided by the
Recessed Escutcheon reduces the
accuracy to which the fixed pipe drops
to the sprinklers must be cut.
IMPORTANT
Always refer to Technical Data
Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER
WARNING” that provides cautions
with respect to handling and
installation of sprinkler systems and
components. Improper handling and
installation can permanently damage
a sprinkler system or its components
and cause the sprinkler to fail to
operate in a fire situation or cause it
to operate prematurely.
Page 1 of 10
Corrosion-resistant coatings, where
applicable, are utilized to extend the
life of copper alloy sprinklers beyond
that which would otherwise be obtained
when exposed to corrosive atmospheres. Although corrosion-resistant
coated sprinklers have passed the
standard corrosion tests of the applicable approval agencies, the testing is
not representative of all possible corrosive atmospheres. Consequently,
it is recommended that the end user
be consulted with respect to the suitability of these coatings for any given
corrosive environment. The effects of
ambient temperature, concentration of
chemicals, and gas/chemical velocity,
should be considered, as a minimum,
along with the corrosive nature of the
chemical to which the sprinklers will be
exposed.
An intermediate level of the Series TYFRB Pendent Sprinklers is detailed
in Technical Data Sheet TFP356, and
Sprinkler Guards are detailed in Technical Data Sheet TFP780.
NOTICE
The Series TY-FRB Concealed Pendent
Sprinklers described herein must be
installed and maintained in compliance
with this document and with the applicable standards of the National Fire
Protection Association, in addition to
the standards of any authorities having
jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair
the performance of these devices.
Owners are responsible for maintaining
their fire protection system and devices
in proper operating condition. The
installing contractor or sprinkler manufacturer should be contacted with any
questions.

Operation
The glass Bulb contains a fluid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated temperature is reached, the
fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the
glass Bulb, allowing the sprinkler to
activate and water to flow.
Design
Criteria
The TYCO Series TY-FRB Pendent
and Upright Sprinklers are intended
for fire protection systems designed in
accordance with the standard installation rules recognized by the applicable
Listing or Approval agency (such as, UL
Listing is based on the requirements of
NFPA 13, and FM Approval is based on
the requirements of FM’s Loss Prevention Data Sheets). Only the Style 10,
20, 30, or 40 Recessed Escutcheon, as
applicable, is to be used for recessed
pendent installations.
Installation
The TYCO Series TY-FRB Sprinklers
must be installed in accordance with
the following instructions.
NOTICE
Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss
of liquid from the bulb. With the sprinkler held horizontally, a small air bubble should be present. The diameter
of the air bubble is approximately 1/16
inch (1,6 mm) for the 135°F/57°C and
3/32 inch (2,4 mm) for the 286°F/141°C
temperature ratings.
Obtain a leak-tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint by applying a minimum to
maximum torque of 7 to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5
to 19,0 Nm). Higher levels of torque
can distort the sprinkler Inlet with consequent leakage or impairment of the
sprinkler.
Do not attempt to compensate for
insufficient adjustment in the Escutcheon Plate by under- or over-tightening
the sprinkler. Re-adjust the position of
the sprinkler fitting to suit.
The Series TY-FRB Pendent and
Upright Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the following
instructions.
1. Install Pendent sprinklers in the
pendent position. Install upright
sprinklers in the upright position.
2. With pipe-thread sealant applied to
the pipe threads, hand-tighten the
sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting.
3. Tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler fitting using only the W-Type 6
Sprinkler Wrench (Figure 14). With
reference to Figures 1 through
5, apply the W-Type 6 Sprinkler
Wrench to the sprinkler wrench
flats.

Initial and frequent visual inspections of
random samples are recommended for
corrosion-resistant sprinklers to verify
the integrity of the corrosion-resistant
material of construction. Thereafter,
annual inspections per NFPA 25 should
suffice.
Inspections of corrosion-resistant
sprinklers are recommended at close
range, instead of from the floor level
per NFPA. Inspection at close range
can better determine the exact sprinkler condition and the long-term integrity of the corrosion-resistant material,
which can be affected by the corrosive
conditions present.

The SH-1224WP Strobe/Horn Series provides a wide range of candela
light output options in a single device. The candela settings include a
12 or 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35 and 60 (75 on axis) candela
settings and 24 volt DC operation for the 15, 35, 60, 75, 95 and 110
candela settings. The candela setting is displayed through the front
window and is selectable using a drum wheel. The strobes can be
synchronized using a control panel with the Potter(Amseco) sync
protocol or a SMD10-3A sync module.
The horn settings include Temporal, Non-Temporal, March Time
and a Chime sound. The horn also has Low, Mid and High volume
settings for each pattern and tone. The tones include 2400 Hz, ElectroMechanical and Broadband.
The voltage input can be either regulated DC or full wave rectified (FWR)
12 volt or 24 volt operation with an operating range of 8 to 33V DC.
The SH-1224WP utilizes a universal mounting plate that will mount on
a single gang, double gang, octagon and 4” square electrical boxes. The
back plate allows the installer to mount the plate and terminate the wire
connections. The strobe/horn attaches in a hinge fashion from the top
and is secured by a single mounting screw. The strobe/horn completely
covers the mounting back plate, therefore it can be mounted before
other trades work is completed and not affect the final look.
The Potter SH-1224WP is listed for both outdoor and indoor
installations. For outdoor installations the device must be mounted on
a matching BBX-5 back box or a BBK-1 bell back box.

1. The data shown above is listed in the current Fire Protection Equipment Directory of U.L. and is consistent with the
requirements of F.M.
2. Maximum Working Pressure (PSI) is defined by U.L. as the maximum pressure that can be developed at the discharge
flange under any operating condition. Applications where working pressures exceed these limits must be referred to the
factory. Maximum pressure at the discharge flange = maximum suction pressure plus maximum total developed head.
3. In determining “Maximum Allowable Working Pressure”, both agencies require initial hydrostatic testing approval at twice
the values shown above.

FIRE PUMPS
Fire pumps for industrial plants and similar locations have a range of
capacities from 500 to 4,500 gallons per minute. Their principal use is to
make available large amounts of water for fire protection. They may take
suction from a public main simply to increase the pressure available from
such a source, but they are more often provided with their own reservoirs,
suction tanks or wells, making the plant independent of piped water from
public systems.
Pumps, which are used to make up pressure deficiencies in water supplies
(which otherwise are of adequate volume), are referred to as "booster"
pumps. These are often installed in a by-pass so that the city or other supply
may be used directly when desired. Such booster pumps have commonly been
of 500 to 1,000 gallons per minute capacity.
Small pumps known as "special fire service" pumps are sometimes used in
situations where a limited amount of water is available (as from a city main)
and it is necessary to avoid drafting too heavily from it. At zero lift, their
maximum capacity should not exceed 130 percent of rated capacity .The
capacities of such pumps are ordinarily 150, 200, 300 or 450 gallons per
minute. Such special fire service pumps may also be used as booster pumps
where local conditions make such small pumps acceptable.
Currently, most fire pumps installed are centrifugal types because these lend
themselves readily to electric; steam turbine or internal combustion engine
drive, and may be readily arranged for automatic operation.
PUMP CHARACTERISTICS
Permanently installed fire pumps may be designed to deliver their rated
capacity against a specified head. This is usually 231 feet or l00 pounds per
square inch, but in any case may be set according to the expected service
demands. Fire pumps are required to deliver 150 percent of rated capacity at
not less than 65 percent of the rated pressure. This produces a "flat"
characteristic curve for these pumps. This is in contrast to the performance
characteristics used for automobile pumpers and industrial pumps.

PUMP SUCTION (HORIZONTAL PUMP WITH WATER

Including allowance for velocity and friction loss through all suction pipe and
fittings, the size of the suction pipe shall be such that the total equivalent
operating suction lift will not exceed 15 feet. The suction pipe must be tight
and not be excessively long. The inspector will find that many pump troubles
are traceable to improper suctions. Workmen do not always make suction
pipes tight. An uneven grade may leave high spots where an air pocket may
break the suction. A long suction pipe introduces excessive friction loss. Each
pump should have a separate suction pipe.

be made inaccessible or the power supplies made unreliable by a fire or by
flood waters. Determine adequacy of pump room ventilation to help prevent
dampness.
C. Note size and type of pump and arrangement of control devices. Note
size of suction and discharge connections and pipes. Give length of suction

INSPECTION OF FIRE PUMPS
A. Trace water from its source to the pump. Water meters on supplies from
mains should not be type with excessive friction loss. Meters, or any fish traps
with them, should not be obstructed. Wells on vertical pumps should be
straight and of adequate diameter. Suction pipe from a large uncovered
reservoir, or from a pond or river supply, should get only
water free from sediment and foreign material. Examine screens at intakes
and inquire what arrangements are for their periodic cleaning.
E. Fire pumps are designed for relatively infrequent use, but must be able
to perform satisfactorily even after standing idle for some time. Note whether
the conditions generally make this possible. The pump should not be used for
any other pumping service. It should be possible for an excited and perhaps
unskilled person to start the pump. Note the extent to which employees show
familiarity with the operation of the pump.
CENTRIFUGAL FIRE PUMPS
Following are some of the important features to cover in an inspection.
There are many other details and for these consult CENTRIFUGAL FIRE PUMPS,
NFPA No.20, which covers the common method of driving; electric motors,
steam turbines, gasoline (installations prior to adoption of 1974 edition of
NFPA No.20) and diesel engines.
In general, pump and driver should be provided as a unit together with all
needed control equipment. There should be acceptable evidence available for
the inspector that the entire assembly is properly designed, such as listing of
the assembly by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc.. Underwriters’ Laboratories
of Canada or Factory Mutual Research Corporation.

accumulate. Inspect the storage of main supply of gasoline or oil fuel. Ask if
gasoline supply is fresh -not more than a year old. Note if exhaust pipe is run
to a safe place outside. Flexible connection in exhaust pipe at engine should
allow for pipe expansion. Storage batteries should be properly maintained
and necessary spare parts kept on hand.

up at all times. Turbines may require pressures 40 to 70 pounds. Very high
pressures are not desirable and superheated steam should not be used on
reciprocating type pumps. In general, reducing valves should be avoided, but
see NATIONAL STANDARD STEAM FIRE PUMPS, NFPA
No.21, for description of an arrangement which may be used for the fire
pump supply when steam with high superheat is the supply normally
available.
C. Investigate reliability of supply of water for boiler feed, which should be
separate from the main water supply when possible.
D. Investigate dependability of fuel supplies to boilers, noting total amount
stored on the premises. Minimum storage should be about 48 hours supply.
STEAM SUPPLIES FOR PUMPS
A. Note location of boiler house or boiler room. It should be cut off from
remainder of property and from probable interference by fire. The location
should be above high flood water .
B. Note number and horsepower of boilers. There should be a minimum of
two boilers providing steam for fire pumps. Horsepower of boilers on which
steam is regularly maintained should be sufficient to
operate all fire pumps to capacity.
For reciprocating steam pumps the boiler should be able to keep 50 pounds
Pentair Water
E. Steam piping in the boiler house should be so arranged that anyone or
all boilers may be reserved for steam pump supply only.
F. Steam line to the pumps should be an independent line from header on
the boiler. The main should run to the pump as directly as possible. If
there are two fire pump lines, each should have a valve at the boiler and
pump. Throttle valve should be of globe pattern.
G. Investigate possibility of steam main or mains being broken by falling
walls or burning buildings. Mains should be installed to take care of
expansion and contraction and be provided with proper traps.

H. Valves in steam lines should be open and steam should be up to the
throttle valves on the pumps.
H. If pump is arranged for automatic as well as manual starting, have the
pump started by opening a test connection.
2. TESTS OF FIRE PUMPS
ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
In even a brief or routine inspection the inspector should request that pumps
be operated a few minutes at rated speed with water discharging through
some convenient opening. Steam reciprocating pumps may run until water is
discharging freely through the relief valve. The management of a property
with a fire pump should make similar running tests weekly. It
should have employees to make tests for the inspector. The inspector should
not operate equipment.
Electric pump controllers may have detailed instructions given on the
controller and these should be followed. Manual starting should be repeated
a number of times at each set.
On acceptance and at annual intervals, the pump should be given a complete
test. The annual tests are set up to provide a complete check on the
performance of the whole assembly: suction connections, pump, prime
mover, steam and electric supplies. In making such tests, several lines of 21/2” hose, 50 to 200 feet long, are laid out from hydrants or from the pump
manifold. Water is pumped and discharged through the hose lines, the
amount being calculated from pitot tube gage reading at the nozzles.
Inspectors should insist that nozzles be lashed at some convenient location to
make the work of testing easier and avoid injuries to men holding nozzles.
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
A. Determine that pump is primed and casing is full of water. Interior
wearing rings may be damaged by operation without water.
B. Have the pump started” observing proper method of starting for various
types of drive.
C. Observe bearings for signs of overheating.
D. Observe alignment of pump and driver. Note tightness of foundation
bolts.
STEAM TURBINE DRIVEN PUMP
A. To start pump, have steam admitted slowly at first to permit warming
up of turbine casing before allowing full head of steam on turbine.
B. If pop safety valve on casing blows, have steam shut off and examine
exhaust piping for closed valve or obstructed portion of piping.
C. Observe that governors maintaIn proper speed. Have the emergency
governor valve tested by tripping it.
D. To vary speeds below rated speeds, have main throttle valve used.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE DRIVEN PUMP.
To start pump, follow manufacturer’s instructions as to starters.
FIRE PUMP START-UP AND FIELD ACCEPTANCE TEST
The following is a general outline for starting and field testing Fire Pump
Systems. It is understood that requirements and methods vary depending on
the location (city). Anyone becoming involved In fire pump sales, must fully
understand all local requirements, within his designated territory, the NFPA20 Pamphlet and the Factory Mutual Fire Protection Manual. A general
method to follow is outlined below.
E. Observe stuffing boxes of pump. With water seal supplied with water” a
small leak at stuffing box glands is necessary.
I. Be specific and complete when ordering Fire Pumps and accessories so that
the necessary and correct items can be supplied.
F. Watch pressure gages. Signs of suction leaks may be indicated by
flickering of gages or knocking in pump. Gage readings also may suggest that
there are obstructions in the suction line” such as ice” or that screens are
clogged, that well supply is inadequate” or that intakes are insufficiently
immersed.
2. Trouble can not be tolerated on the day of the field acceptance test,
therefore
G. Have all outlets closed, including relief valve, and note that pump shuts
off at the proper pressure (for horizontal shaft pumps usually not over 120
percent of rated pressure; for vertical shaft pumps 140 percent)

3. After the installation is complete and the Fire Pump System is pressurized
and checked by the contractor” an initial test should be conducted. This is
to check the controller and motor. The test should be conducted (with
contractor present if possible on engine drive systems, engine
representative will be present for start-up) as follows:
C. Tachometer.
D. Pitot tube and gauge.
E. *Calibrated suction and discharge gauges with a range accuracy of
1/4%. (First three items are in your APCO-MATIC kit)
A. Close all valves on discharge outlets. Check pump and motor alignment.
B. Open suction valve.
C. Check motor controller service manual and perform any necessary steps
outlined, in the manual, prior to putting controller into operation. Also, read
manual to understand how to operate the controller. Set controller to manual
position.
*The gauges furnished with the pump are 3% accurate and could lead to
problems if used for the field acceptance test. Equipment which is necessary
for the test and should be supplied by the local authorities:
1) 50 ft. of 2-1/2' hose for each hose connection on the outside hose
header.
2) Play pipe with 1-3/4" nozzle for each hose.
D. With controller in manual position, the pump can be started. Check
relief valves, be sure they are not completely closed. Start pump.
E. Adjust packing (if necessary), note if pump bearings are heating
excessively; check pump RPM.
F. Completely close all relief valves. Check shut-off pressure of pump and
see if the total dynamic head agrees with factory certified head/capacity
curve.
G. Stop pump.
6. Field acceptance tests will vary in all locations. The following steps are
general and for electric drives. You will have to add any other requirements
which might be particular to your territory:
A. Hose and play pipe should be connected to each opening of outside hose
header.
B. Close discharge valve leading to building fire system.
C. Open discharge valve leading to outside hose header.
H. The jockey pump should be on line and proper system pressure
maintained.
D. Suction valve should be open.
E. Close all relief valves.
I. Set the motor controller to the automatic position.
F. Open one (1) outside hose valve.
J. Drop system pressure to below normal with test valve. The fire pump
should start automatically.
4. After all is checked and equipment is operating properly arrangements can
be made to perform the field acceptance test. People required to be present
and forms necessary for recording the test can be obtained from the local
insurance authorities.
5. Equipment necessary for field testing varies considerably in different
localities. The maximum that you, as a supplier of the fire pump, should
supply is:
G. Using pitot tube and gauge with 1-3/4" nozzle, valve should be
adjusted until gauge on pitot tube reads 30 PSI, this is equal to 500 GPM.
By opening additional valves and measuring the flow to equal 500 GPM, the
proper flow (500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000 or 4500) can
be obtained. Chart 1 lists nozzle pressures and flows for various nozzle sizes.
H. Open the necessary hose valves to obtain the rated flow. Check all
nozzles making sure the correct flow is maintained. Changing one valve
usually changes the flow in the other hoses. When the proper flow is assured,
check and record the following data:
A. Calibrated ammeter.
1) Suction gauge pressure.
B. Volt meter.

2) Discharge gauge pressure.
3) Check RPM with tachometer.
4) Voltage.
5) Amps (on all legs).
The panels are equipped with jacks for connecting the volt meter and
ammeter.
I. Return to the nozzles and check flow to make sure it did not change. If
any change is noted, re-establish the proper flow, recheck and record data.
Repeat this until you are sure all necessary data is correct and recorded.
J. Adjust hose valves until a flow of 150% of rated flow is obtained.
Proceed as before and record necessary data. Again, accuracy is
very, very important and necessary.
K. This step applies only if required by the local authorities. It is not
required by U.L. but is required by F .M. Open all hose valves full or just short
of extreme cavitation by the pump. Record all data.
L. Close all hose valves completely. Make sure all relief valves are closed.
Check and record all data at this shutoff (0 GPM) condition.
M. Set relief valves to proper setting.
I) System relief valve should be set slightly over maximum system pressure.
2) Casing relief valve should be set slightly under shutoff pressure of the
pump.

Q. Data obtained should match the certified performance test from the
factory (at 0 GPM, rate GPM, and 150% rated GPM). Average value of the
highest amps recorded should not exceed the nameplate amps of motor by
more than 115% (due to normal variations of test equipment, 120% may be
considered acceptable).
R. If data does not agree with test, recheck your data and if necessary,
retest pump. Be sure you figure total dynamic head correctly.

Sequence of Operation
Full Voltage Fire Pump Controllers
Introduction
The following information is in reference to Wiring
Schematic, Publication WS1000-50.
Note: Firetrol schematics are drawn showing the
equipment in a de-energized state.
Energizing The Controller
1. Close the isolating switch/circuit breaker by moving
the handle to the “ON” position.
Note: The unmarked, red, “Interlock” jumper wire, located
between terminals #1 & #10 on the Relay PC board,
(TB1), will prevent the MarkII unit from starting the electric
motor automatically. This jumper wire should only be
removed after the pressure settings have been input,
and the system pressurized at, or above the Stop set
point.
2. The factory programmed MarkII unit will begin
“initialization”. Upon completion, the display will confirm
system pressure, the time, date, and “Interlock ON”,
which is an alarm condition and will cause the yellow
alarm LED to flash. Any other existing alarm conditions
(low system pressure, phase reversal, phase failure,
deluge open), will also be sequentially and continuously
displayed at this time, until each is rectified.
3. With the “interlock” jumper wire still in place, the
electric motor can only be started by depressing the
START push-button, located on the flange of the controller
enclosure, or by engaging the Emergency Run
Mechanism. After all alarm conditions have been
rectified, and the system pressurized at or above the
Stop pressure setting, then the “interlock” jumper may
be removed for the controller’s automatic operation
(“standby”). With the “interlock” jumper removed, a drop
in system pressure to the MarkII’s set Start point, will
start the electric motor.
4. The deluge valve contacts are only operational if the
factory jumper has been removed and a normally closed
deluge valve contact has been placed between terminals
1 and 8 of the Relay PC board, (TB1). The Remote Start
is only operational if a normally open, momentarily closed
contact is wired to terminals 6 and 7 of the Relay PC
board, (TB1). If engaged, the Emergency Run
Mechanism will cause the pump motor to run as
described in the Emergency Starting and Stopping
section.
Automatic Start and Stop
1). The controller’s pressure transducer initiates the
automatic start circuits for the pump motor. When
pressure falls at, or below the MarkII Start setting, relay
•
FTA1000
1CR is energized. 1CR normally open contact closes,
allowing voltage to the motor starter circuits (see section
Pump Motor Starting Sequence for more information)
The minimum run time is a part of the MarkII’s Menu,
“Timer Settings” . The minimum run timer’s factory setting
is 10 minutes. In this mode, minimum run time begins
when the pressure falls at or below the “Start” set point,
calling for the pump motor to run. When pressure drops,
this signals the MarkII to output via the Relay PC board,
directly to the 1CR relay coil. The relay’s normally open
contact closes, allowing line voltage to the coil of the
1M contactor. The contactor’s 3 normally open contacts
close, allowing 3 phase line voltage to the electric motor,
and the motor runs. Simultaneously, the minimum run
function of the MarkII is activated, maintaining voltage
on the 1CR relay coil, and keeping the motor running
until the 10 minutes expire. At this time, with pressure
restored at or above the Stop set point, 1CR relay coil
will de-energize, re-opening its normally open contact,
de-energizing the 1M contactor coil. It’s 3 normally open
contacts will reopen, causing the motor to de-energize
and stop.
If pressure is restored at, or above the Stop set point
of the MarkII, and even if minimum run time has not yet
expired, the manual STOP push button located on the
flange of the controller can be depressed to manually
stop the engine. This also resets the minimum run time
function of the MarkII.
Manual Start and Stop
The pump motor may be manually started by using
either the START push-button mounted on the flange of
the enclosure or by using a normally open, momentarily
closed, remote start push-button connected to terminals
6 and 7.
When the START push-button is depressed, or a
remote start signal is seen through terminals 6 & 7, the
MarkII will output through the relay pc board to 1CR relay
coil and the pump motor will be energized and run as
described in section “Automatic Start & Stop”. The
MarkII’s minimum run time feature will not be activated.
The pump motor will continue to run until the STOP
push-button is depressed. When the STOP push-button
is depressed, 1CR relay coil is de-energized, interrupting
the voltage to the 1M contactor coil, which causes the
motor to stop.
Deluge Valve Operation
To operate the controller utilizing a deluge valve, the
wire jumper between terminals 1 and 8 must be removed
and a normally closed, open to run deluge valve contact
wired in its place.
When the deluge valve contact opens, relay 1CR is
energized, closings it’s normally open contact to the
1M contactor coil, and the motor runs.
When the deluge valve contact closes, relay 1CR is
de-energized, re-opening it’s normally open contact, deenergizing the 1M contactor, and the motor stops.
Shutdown Interlock Operation
The shutdown interlock, if used, is a normally open,
closed to interlock contact wired to terminals 1 and 10.
When the interlock contact is closed, relay 1CR
cannot be energized by inputs to the MarkII from the
pressure transducer, or the deluge valve. The controller
may be started manually by depressing the manual
START push button. See the specific starting operation
for more details.
Pump Motor Starting Sequence
Whenever relay 1CR is energized, it’s normally open
contact closes, allowing voltage to the coil of the motor
starting contactor. During full voltage starting the following
sequence occurs.
1CR normally open contact closes, energizing
contactor 1M . 1M connects motor terminals T1, T2,
and T3 to the power source. This starts the motor in the
full voltage configuration, in which the pump motor draws
100% of its normal inrush current and supplies 100% of
its normal starting torque.
Emergency Starting and Stopping
The controller is equipped with an emergency run
mechanism for use in the event of a coil burnout or other
electrical problem which would prevent normal starting
of the pump motor. The mechanism attempts to both
electrically and mechanically start the pump motor.
When the emergency run mechanism is utilized, a
e-run contact is closed, energizing 1M coil. This, in
effect, attempts to electrically start the pump motor.
The emergency run mechanism also manually
closes the 1M contactor, starting the motor. This will
run the motor as long as the main three phase power is
available.
If the pump motor is running via the emergency run
mechanism, DO NOT release the mechanism to stop
the motor. Place the isolating switch/circuit breaker
handle in the off position, then release the emergency
run mechanism. Releasing the mechanism while the
motor is running could result in damage to the motor or
the motor contactor.
Note: The emergency run mechanism is not intended
for, nor should it be used as a testing device. Its sole
purpose is to attempt to start the pump motor in the
event of a failure.

Types of Pumps
HORIZONTAL split case pumps are the most
common type of Fire Pump. These pumps are
specially tested for fire-service applications
where reliability of performance is of vital
importance. They are characterized by easy
access to all working parts, rugged
construction, liberal water passages, and
efficient operation. They are specified when the
source of water is located above the surface of
the ground and will provide a positive suction
pressure to the pump at any performance point.
There are several capacity ratings of Aurora
approved Fire Pumps available ranging from a
minimum of 250 GPM. Single stage or multistage pumps are available dependent upon
discharge pressure requirements.

Therefore, to the Fire Pump user this feature
means:
1. Lower initial cost.
2. Quicker delivery from stock.
3. Parts interchangeability with Aurora pumps
specified elsewhere in your building reduces
spare parts inventory and simplifies
maintenance.
The fact that Aurora pumps meet the rigid
requirements of Underwriters Laboratories and
Factory Mutual Research is testimonial to the
high quality of Aurora Pump products. Aurora
Pump offers the only true line of VERTICAL
SPLIT CASE Double Suction type pumps
approved and listed for fire service. Vertical Fire
Pumps provide distinct advantages over
horizontal pump constructions.
1. Less floor space required.
2. Inline piping arrangement allows piping in
any direction in most cases.
3. Elevated motor protects against potential
flooding if the pump station is in a low area.
4. Components are register fitted to prevent
misalignment.

Aurora Pump can provide approved Fire
Pumps and a complete line of approved Fire
Pump accessories.
Available accessories include: hose valves, hose

Jockey Pump Introduction
the water pressure drops below the
pre-set level, the pressure switch
energizes a starter which activates
the Jockey Pump. Correct water
pressure is therefore maintained at
all times. An optional minimum
run timer will prevent the Jockey
Pump from being started too
frequently. This timer will insure
operation for a minimum of 3
minutes. If a fire should start, the
pressure will continue to drop and
the main Fire Pump will start.
Automatic controllers also include
a “Hand-Off Automatic” selector
switch for manual operation.
Fusible 3-pole disconnect switch,
magnetic motor contactor and
thermal overload relays with
external reset are standard.
NOTE: Aurora Pump reserves the right to make revisions to its products and their specifications, and to this bulletin and related information without notice.

Occasionally in a Fire Pump
system, water leakage will occur at
flanged or threaded pipe
connections, valve stems, stuffing
boxes, etc. This normal loss of
water will lower the system
pressure gradually until the main
Fire Pump is required to start. To
minimize wear on the Fire Pump
resulting from unnecessary
operation, a Jockey Pump is
recommended for the system. In a
Jockey Pump system a small pump,
motor, and controller/pressure
switch unit is installed in the
piping system. The Jockey Pump
pressure switch is set for
approximately five P.S.I.G. greater
than the pressure switch for the
main Fire Pump Controller. When
