Introduction to VdS
VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH is an independent,
international, accredited and notified testing and
certification institution for fire prevention and safety
technology as well as for physical and electronic
protection against intrusion. ("Schadenverhütung" is
the German word for "loss prevention".)
Accredited according to the EN 45000 series of
European standards, VdS Schadenverhütung is a
member of the European Fire and Security Group
(EFSG). VdS experts are represented in all relevant
German and international committees.
The concept behind VdS recognition is to ensure tested
and certified quality in the products and services
offered in the safety and security markets. This is
equally advantageous for user and supplier.
For further information on VdS, see www.vds.de.
VdS standards
The products in this data booklet have been built to
comply with VdS standards on water-based fire fighting
systems, described in the following documents:
• VDS CEA 4001:2005-09 (02): Planning and
installation.
• VDS 2100: Guidelines for water-based fire fighting
systems.
• VDS 2344: Procedures for testing and approval of
equipment, components and systems used in fire
protection and security control.
Standards approval process
Grundfos is to test the pumps and fill in the application
forms for each individual pump size. The following
documentation should to submitted to the VdS:
• complete drawings with list of parts and materials of
the major components
• a statement regarding quality and production
(ISO 9001 + Annex A & D)
• a complete data sheet with technical information
• complete installation and operating instructions.
If the application forms are accepted, VdS will attend
the final test at the Grundfos premises. If the evaluation
of the test results is positive, VdS will issue a certificate
on the approval of the pump.

Fire system design
A fire system typically consists of three pumps: one
pressure pump (jockey pump) and two fire pumps, one
duty and the other acting as standby. Each of the fire
pumps is capable of achieving the required
performance.
Systems with only one fire pump or more than two fire
pumps are, however, also seen.
Function
The duty and standby pumps are not powered by the
same source. Either both pumps are electrically
powered, supplied by two separate sources, or one
pump is electrically powered and the other dieselpowered. This ensures that if one pump fails, for
example due to fire damage, the other will operate.
The pumps are pressure-controlled by pressure
sensors.
The pressure in the system is normally maintained by
the pressure tank.
8
Pos.
1
If the system pressure drops, the water level and air
pressure in the tank will decrease.
The jockey pump starts to fill the tank, and the
compressor to boost the pressure. If the jockey pump
and the compressor succeed in boosting the water level
and the pressure to a set value, both will stop. If a
sprinkler has been activated and the water level and the
pressure keeps falling, the duty pump will start.
A further decrease in the pressure means that the duty
pump is not running, and the standby pump will start.
The same principle applies to the dry sprinkler system
in which an air compressor maintains pressure from the
alarm valve and through the sprinkler system.
Although individually designed for the specific
installation, each fire system must comply with VdS
standards.
Important!
Requirements as to design, sizing and testing of fire
protection systems vary from one country to another.

Pump characteristic
VdS focuses strongly on the instabilities, due to
sprinkler systems consisting of long and different pipe
circuits. Two instable pumps may cause vibrations or
breakdown.
If the pump characteristic is instable, it is not allowed to
exceed 5 %. See examples of instable (fig. 2) and
stable (fig. 3) pump characteristics below.

Duty range
VdS operates with a concept known as Qzul (zulässig =
permissible), see fig 4. The duty point of the pump must
not be to the right of this limit.
Qzul is defined on the basis of the pump NPSH curves.
The following calculation must be made for the largest
and smallest pump impeller diameter.

DnS
Commissioning
The diameter of the internal flange on the suction side.
The installer should commission the complete fire unit
before handing it over to the plant manager on site.
Many potential issues of the complete fire system must
be tested before commissioning to ensure a
satisfactory system performance and identify any
damage during installation.
DnD
The diameter of the internal flange on the discharge
side.
Emergency reserve displacement volume
If the pump runs against a closed valve, the emergency
reserve displacement volume indicates the minimum
flow to be led away from the pump to prevent
breakdown within 48 hours. This flow must be led out of
the pump bleed line.
Minimum coverage in m
Indicates the minimum head for which the pump is
approved.
Locked rotor torque traced at maximum power load
Indicates the “break-away” torque of the pump.
Electrical motors
Grundfos electrical fire systems are equipped with
MMG-E motors (sourced HEM EFF2 motors) produced
according to IEC 60034.
Insulation class: F.
Enclosure class: IP55.
Jockey pumps
Grundfos CR pumps are used as jockey pumps,
maintaining the water level in the pressure tank. Under
normal conditions, the jockey pump is activated by the
low-level switch in the pressure tank as a result of small
leakages in the pipe systems filled with water. The
jockey pump operates until it is deactivated by the
highlevel switch. The jockey pump can also be
activated in case one or more sprinklers are open, in
order to maintain the water level in the pressure tank.
There are no specific VdS requirements as regards the
jockey pump.
Controller
The controller for the electrical fire pump complies with
the CEA 4001 standard.
The Grundfos electrical fire system is equipped with
VDS-approved controller, sourced externally. The
controller has these features:
• optional phase monitoring
• colour red (RAL 3000)
• compliance with IP 54.
The controller can be mounted on the wall or fitted with
stands to the base frame of the electrical fire fighting
unit.
12
Fire NKF
Key components should be checked according to the
descriptions in the respective installation and operating
instructions. In addition, VdS stipulates that fire system
tests should be carried out, for example:
• pressure test of sprinkler circuits
• values of all measuring devices (air pressure, water
level, etc.) to the system
• water flow to fire pumps
• test of alarm system and interface to municipal fire
department.
The installer should supply the plant manager with the
following documents:
• Installation certificate, stating that the fire system
has been installed according to VdS requirements
• A complete set of installation and operating
instructions and system drawings with specification
of all components for the plant manager and the
owner of the system.

Bearing bracket and shaft
The bearing bracket has two sturdy, antifriction,
lubricated-for-life bearings. However, oversize pumps
with 55 mm shaft diameter have open bearings with
lubricating nipples.
Coupling
NKF pumps are available with two types of coupling:
• standard
• spacer.
The bearing bracket is made of cast iron, EN-GJL-250.
TM03 0235 4504
The shaft is made of stainless steel, DIN W.-Nr. 1.4021/
AISI 420. Shaft diameter d5 is either ∅24, 32 or 55.
A thrower on the shaft prevents water from entering the
bearing bracket.

Fig. 12 Bearing bracket and shaft
All NKF pumps are fitted with one of four shaft, shaft
seal and bearing sizes.
Fig. 15 Spacer coupling
Pumps fitted with a spacer coupling can be serviced
without dismantling the motor from the base frame and
without removing the pump housing from the pipework.
This saves realignment of pump and motor after
service.

All stationary cast iron parts are dip-painted with
waterbased, ether-epoxy, no-lead paint (NCS 9000/
RAL 9005). The thickness of the film is 25 μm ± 5 μm.
The product is also spray-painted with black
waterbased, ether-epoxy, no-lead paint and finally with
red two-component paint, Ral 3000. The thickness of
the dry coating is 35 μm ± 5 μm.
Test pressure
Pressure testing has been made with +20 °C water
containing corrosion inhibitor.

Operating conditions
Fire NKF
Pump unit location
Inlet pressure
The pump is designed for installation in a nonaggressive and non-explosive atmosphere.
Maximum inlet pressure
The relative air humidity must not exceed 95 %.
The inlet pressure is limited by the maximum operating
pressure. The maximum inlet pressure appears from
this table:
Ambient temperature and altitude
The ambient temperature must not exceed +40 °C.
Inlet pressure
If the ambient temperature exceeds +40 °C or if the
motor is installed more than 1000 metres above sea
level, the rated motor output will fall due to the low
density and consequently low cooling effect of the air.
In such cases, it may be necessary to use an oversize
motor with a higher output. See fig. 18.
Max. 9 bar.
Max. 7 bar for impellers of 400 mm and up.
Minimum inlet pressure
The minimum inlet pressure must be according to the
NPSH curve + a safety margin of at least 1 metre +
correction for vapour pressure, according to VdS CEA
4001 : 2005-09 (02).
See fig. 19.

Installation and operation
Fire NKF
Piping
Alignment
When installing the pipes, make sure that the pump
housing is not stressed by the pipework.
In a complete pump unit assembled and supplied from
factory, the coupling halves have been accurately
aligned. Alignment is made by inserting shims under
the pump and motor mounting surfaces as required.
The suction and discharge pipes must be of an
adequate size, taking the pump inlet pressure into
account.
Install the pipes so that air locks are avoided, especially
on the suction side of the pump. see fig. 20.
The pump/motor alignment may be affected during
transport. Always check alignment after the pump has
been installed.
If misalignment has occurred due to radial or angular
shifting, realign by inserting/removing shims under the
feet of the pump or the motor.
TM00 2263 3393
Take care to align carefully as this will increase the
working lives of the coupling, bearings and shaft seals
considerably.
Fig. 20 Pipe sections
Fit isolating valves on either side of the pump to avoid
having to drain the system if the pump needs to be
cleaned or repaired.
TM03 2998 5005
Make sure the pipes are adequately supported as close
to the pump as possible, both on the suction and the
discharge side. The counter flanges should lie true
against the pump flanges without being stressed;
otherwise, the pump will be damaged.
Fig. 21 Example of piping, Fire NKF

Note: Check the final alignment when the pump has
obtained its operating temperature under normal
operating conditions.

Oversize pumps
EN 733 describes only the standard types.
The NKF range includes bigger models (oversize
pumps) for higher flow rates and heads.
As oversize pumps are not according to the standard,
dimensions of Grundfos NKF oversize pumps may
differ from the dimensions of similar pumps from other
suppliers.
Flange dimensions
The flange dimensions are in mm.

Curve conditions
Performance tests
Selection of pumps
The requested duty point for every pump is tested
according to ISO 9906, Annex A, and VdS 2100.
The guidelines below apply to the curves shown in the
performance charts, pages 29 to 35.
• Tolerances according to ISO 9906, Annex A and
VdS 2100.
• The curves show pump performance with different
impeller diameters at the nominal speed.
• The bold part of the curves shows the
recommended operating range.
If the customer requires a specific impeller diameter
(not a specific duty point), the pump will be tested at a
duty point which is 2/3 of the maximum flow of the
published performance curve related to the ordered
impeller diameter (according to ISO 9906, Annex A).
If the customer requires either more points on the curve
to be checked or certain minimum performances or
certificates, individual measurements must be made.
• The thin parts are not allowed according to VdS.
• Do not use the pumps at minimum flows below
0.1 x Q at optimum efficiency because of the danger
of overheating of the pump.
• The curves apply to the pumping of water at a
temperature of +20 °C and a kinematic viscosity of
1 mm2/s (1 cSt).
• NPSH: The curves are according to the minimum
and maximum impeller diameter.
• In case of other densities than 1000 kg/m3 the
discharge pressure is proportional to the density.
• When pumping water with a density higher than
1000 kg/m3, motors with correspondingly higher
outputs must be used.
Calculation of total head
The total pump head consists of the height difference
between the measuring points + the differential head +
the dynamic head.
H
total
= H
geo
+H
stat
+H
dyn
Hgeo: Height difference between measuring points.
Hstat: Differential head between the suction and the
discharge side of the pump.
Hdyn: Calculated values based on the velocity of the
pumped water on the suction and the discharge
side of the pump.
28
VdS certificate
The pump order includes a test certificate confirming
the required QH performance.

Controller
General description
The Grundfos CONTROL FS 1 fire system controller is
a complete, factory-assembled controller in a steel
plate cabinet, suitable for wall mounting or freestanding.
Fire NKF
Identification
Type key, standard operating devices
Example:
CONTROL
FS 1x
The controller has been designed without main
switches to comply with the regulations of the VdS
(Loss Prevention Authority).
Fire system
If a fire pump can be powered by more than one
electricity supply network, a controller with a load
transfer breaker must be installed.
Monitoring
WM = with monitoring module
WO/M = without monitoring module
The control of the fire pump has been arranged in such
a way that motor failures, for example due to heating,
do not cause the fire pump to stop, but only in fault
indications and/or a potential-free signal to a
superordinate fault centre.
In addition to the fire pump, ancillary VdS-approved
equipment can also be controlled.
Controller versions
The controller is available in two versions:
• With monitoring module (WM)
• Without monitoring module (WO/M).
Controller with monitoring module
Monitoring modules for power system monitoring as
well as for pressure switch wire-breakage and/or shortcircuit monitoring are integrated into the WM version of
the controller.
It is essential that a corresponding resistance module,
WM1, is attached to each pressure switch for this
purpose.
Controller without monitoring module
Without the monitoring modules integrated in this
version, no potential-free signals are given in case of
phase or pressure-switch failure.
WM
Number of motors
Motor rating
The example above is a controller for a fire fighting
pump in the range of 133 to 160 kW. The controller has
monitoring modules for phase-failure, cable breakage
and short circuit.

The installation and connection of the controller must
comply with local regulations and accepted codes of
good practice. This includes, among others, DIN VDE
0100, DIN VDE 0660, DIN VDE 0106 as well as the
accident prevention regulations of the Accident
Prevention and Insurance Association UVV VBG 4.

Take into account the regulations for VdS-approved
systems, especially VdS 2092 and VdS 2100.
Fig. 27 Monitoring module for pressure switches
Slide switches
The monitoring module has three slide switches at the
front for the control of the function of the monitoring
module. The contact behaviour of the output relay, the
wire breakage detection and the short-circuit
monitoring can be set.
Position
The three slide switches must be in the correct
position:
NC: Quiescent current behaviour of the output relay,
closes when a contact is opened on the input side
WB: Wire breakage monitoring
SC: Short-circuit monitoring.
LEDs
Two LEDs are located above the slide switches:
• Pwr:
Green = applied voltage.
• 1:
Yellow = low system pressure.
Red = wire breakage or short-circuit.
Also observe the regulations of the local power supply
companies.
Electrical connection
The controller is approved for connection to the
conventional TN system.
Disconnection by means of an overcurrent device
(DIN VDE 0100/part 410) can be used as a protective
measure from indirect contact.
Note: Residual current circuit-breakers are not allowed
for the supply to VdS systems for special protection
reasons.
Different and/or supplementary preventive measures
may be required for special network configurations, for
example IT or TT systems, which may possibly cause
alterations to the controller. The sizing of the supply
cable must allow for the overload and short-circuit
protection in compliance with DIN VDE 0100, part 430.
The safeguard in the low-voltage main distribution
system and in the emergency power system is to be
conducted taking the selectivity of the NH-fuse in the
fire pump controller into account.
The cables for VdS systems should be selected and
laid in such a way that they remain functional in the
event of a fire (fire protection covering E 30 or E 90 or
cables with function preservation E 90).
The voltage supply to the X0 supply terminals takes
place via an applied clockwise rotating field.
Resistance module, WM1
A resistance module must be directly connected to the
respective pressure switch.
The line-to-line voltages can be read from the voltmeter
by means of the input selector switch.
Operating conditions
The cables from the controller to the fire pump motor
should be sized in accordance with DIN VDE 0100, part
430, to ensure short-circuit protection and to comply
with the permissible line-drop voltage. The existing
overload relay in the load circuit of the motor does not
result in disconnection (VdS requirement) when it is
triggered, but only in an indication of the fault.
Temperature range
Ambient temperature: 0 to 40 °C
Storage and transport: –25 to 60 °C.
Relative humidity
Keep air humidity at a low level to prevent the formation
of moisture.
Motor connection
The factory setting of the motor outlet for the fire pump
motor has been set to "counter-clockwise rotation".

Controller
Operation
Level indication
This section covers the following:
Rod electrode
A 4-pin rod electrode can be used in combination with
the appropriate electrode relay for monitoring the level
in the pressure tank. The necessary hysteresis
between the individual switching points can occur via
the individual truncation of electrode pins.
• fire pump
• jockey pump (optional)
• compressor (optional)
• pressure-maintaining pump (optional)
• level indication (optional)
• motor valve (optional).
If the system is in automatic mode during pump startup, the jockey pump and compressor operate as
normal. All additional units are disconnected.
Fire pump
During a decrease of pressure in the fire system, the
fire pump is switched on automatically via the external
pressure switches.
The fire pump can be manually switched on and off by
means of the respective buttons.
Float switch
A float switch can be used to easily monitor the level in
the pressure water tank, surge tank, storage tank, etc.
in which a hysteresis of 120 mm is sufficient.
Motor valve
The motor valve can be manually closed and opened by
means of the respective push buttons.

During automatic operation, the jockey pump is
conducted by an external float switch in the pressure
tank.
If operation of the compressor is required (due to a
decrease of pressure in the pressure tank) and the
water level is below the normal level, the jockey pump
starts automatically until the normal water level is
reached. Subsequently, the nominal pressure is
restored using compressed air.
The jockey pump can be manually switched on and off
by means of the respective buttons.
Compressor
The compressor can be operated manually or
automatically by using the selector switch.
During automatic operation, the compressor is
controlled by an external pressure switch, for example
connected to the pressure tank.
The compressor can be manually switched on and off
by means of the respective buttons.
Pressure-maintaining pump
The pressure-maintaining pump can be operated
manually or automatically by using the selector switch.
During automatic operation, the pressure-maintaining
pump is controlled by an external pressure switch.
The pressure-maintaining pump can be manually
switched on and off by means of the respective buttons.
