Alarm Panels
Electric Fire Pump Controllers
• FTA200-A
FTA200-B
Type B - Type B panels provide the same alarm indication as the Type A except that SUPERVISORY
POWER FAILURE does not have the audible alarm
feature. Only a visible alarm indication is provided.
Description—Firetrol® FTA200 alarm panels are
designed to meet the NPFA 20 specifications requiring a remote alarm panel when the pump house or
pump room is not constantly attended. The alarm
panel must be installed in a location that is under
supervision at all times.
Approvals—These alarm panels are listed by
Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc., in accordance with
UL508, Standard for Industrial Controls, certified by
CSA, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment
(cUL), approved by the New York City Bureau of Electrical Control and Board of Standards and Appeals
and Factory Mutual. They are designed to meet or
exceed the requirements of the approving authorities listed above as well as NFPA 20, Installation of
Centrifugal Fire Pumps.
Standard Features—The following are included as
standard with each controller:
Type A - Type A panels provide audible and visible
alarm indication for the following conditions:
n Supervisory Voltage Normal
n Pump Operating
n Pump Phase Failure
n Pump Phase Reversal
Construction - FTA200 alarm panels make use of
printed circuit boards which provide reliable and
trouble free service. The enclosures are NEMA Type
2 (IEC IP11) drip-proof for indoor wall mounting. The
standard enclosure color is red.
Mounted on the enclosure door are the pilot lights
for visible alarm indication, the audible device for
audible alarm indication, the SILENCE ALARM
pushbutton and the PUSH-TO-TEST pushbutton.
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 pushbutton
has been pressed. Pressing the SILENCE ALARM
pushbutton 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 pushbutton or until
the abnormal condition has been corrected.
The PUSH-TO-TEST pushbutton is supplied for
manually testing the pilot lights, audible alarm and
output circuits.
Modifications—The following are available as modifications to the controllers:
Special Enclosures
-F
NEMA Type 4X, 304 stainless (IEC IP56)
-Y
NEMA Type 1 (IEC IP10) Flush Mount,
