EATON CORPORATION www.chfire.com Page 10
Pressure Settings - Refer to Appendix D. Following are 
the descriptions of each menu item:
 Pres
sure Sensor - Some applications do not 
require a pressure sensor to sense the system 
pressure in order to start the pump motor when 
required. In order to accomplish this. The pressure 
sensor can be disabled through this menu item. 
Once disabled, the pressure start point, pressure 
stop point, low pressure alarm, and high pressure 
alarm set-points will be removed from the menu 
system. Refer to 4.3 for the Pump Start input to use 
instead of the pressure sensor.
 Pressure S
tart Point - The value programmed 
determines at which pressure the controller will 
initiate a start sequence.
 Pres
sure Stop Point - The value programmed 
determines the pressure the system must reach 
before the controller will automatically stop the fire 
pump motor, via the running period timer. If the 
system pressure does not exceed the programmed 
Pressure Stop Point, the fire pump motor will 
continue to run. (Auto shutdown only)
 Low Pres
sure Alarm - A low pressure alarm point 
can be selected that will be recorded in the 
controller's history.
 High
 Pressure Alarm - A high pressure alarm point 
can be selected that will be recorded in the 
controller's history.
 Auto Shut
down - The auto shutdown mode is user 
selectable.  If the auto shutdown mode is disabled, 
the pump motor must be stopped via the local stop 
pushbutton, whether or not the motor started via an 
automatic start.  If the auto shutdown mode is 
enabled, the controller will stop the pump motor 
automatically after all starting causes have been 
returned to normal and the running period timer has 
timed out.
 Pro
of Pressure Switch - An external pressure 
switch will activate input # 1, terminal 40. This menu 
item will only be active when the controller is 
programmed for a Foam Pump Controller.
 L
ow Suction Shutdown/Foam Level - The 
controller can be programmed to shutdown when a 
low suction condition is present. If this is desired, 
the user will select Enabled. There will also be a 
shutdown delay timer built in (Range: 0-30 Seconds, 
Default: 10 Seconds) along with the selection of 
either a Manual or Automatic reset. If Manual Reset 
is selected, the Ack./Alarm button on the faceplate 
must be activated to reset the alarm. If an Automatic 
Reset (default reset mode) is selected, a delay timer 
(Range: 0-30 Seconds, Default: 10 Seconds) must 
be set. The controller will then verify if the input is 
still active, every time the timer times out. If the input 
is still active the timer will reset and count down 
again. Once the input has been removed, the timer 
will start timing. Once the timer has finished timing, 
out the controller will return to the automatic run 
mode. When the shutdown delay timer is timing, the 
time left on the timer will be displayed on the fourth 
line of the display. When the controller is shutdown 
on Low Suction, the display will read Low Suction 
Shutdown. The display will also show the automatic 
reset time delay when timing. Low Suction 
Shutdown will not work on Local Starts, Remote 
Starts, or Emergency Starts.
 Pres
sure Deviation - A pressure setting may be 
selected, such that any change in pressure greater 
than this setting, will record the pressure fluctuation 
in the alarm memory.
 Hourly Pressure Recording - The controller can 
be set so that it will take a pressure reading every 
hour on the hour. If this feature is not required it can 
be turned off by selecting Disabled.
Timer Values - Refer to F
igure #6. Following are the 
descriptions or each menu item:
 Ru
n Period Timer (RPT) - The run period timer is 
used to automatically stop the controller after a 
programmed time. It can be programmed to operate 
based on either of two separate conditions, the stop 
pressure point or when the pump has started to run. 
If the RPT is programmed to start at the Stop 
Pressure, the timer will start timing once the system 
pressure has reached the programmed Stop 
Pressure Point. If the RPT is programmed to start 
timing once the pump is running then the timer will 
start timing once the pump has reached a running 
condition. If Automatic Shutdown is enabled, the 
RPT will not be active. It will not start on Remote, 
Local, and Emergency Starts. While it is timing the 
amount of time left on the timer will be displayed on 
the fourth line of the display.
 RPT S
tart Mode - The point at which the run period 
timer starts timing is programmable. If it is 
programmed to start timing after the pump has 
started, the RPT will start timing once 20% of the 
motor FLA has been reached. If it is programmed to 
start timing once the Stop Pressure Point has been 
reached, the RPT will start timing when the system 
pressure has risen above the programmed Pressure 
Stop Point.
