5. Using either the dimension print or by measuring the distance between the center lines of the 2 lower bracket slots,
transcribe this dimension onto the wall. Note: The bottom edge of the en-closure should be a minimum of 12” (305 mm.) from
the floor in case flooding of the pump room occurs.
6. Drill and put 2 anchors into the wall for the 2 lower bracket slot mounts.
7. Mark on the wall, the location of the holes in the upper mounting ears.
8. Drill and put 2 anchors into wall for the upper mounts.
9. Install bolts and washers in 2 lower anchors, leaving a gap between the washer and wall.
10. Lift the controller and place the bottom mounting slots down onto the 2 lower anchor bolts. Do not tighten bolts.
11. Align holes in upper mounting ears and install 2 bolts and washers in anchors.
12. Shim anchors as necessary to ensure rear of enclosure is vertically level and enclosure is not stressed. Tighten all
4 anchor bolts.
13. Check to be sure enclosure door opens and closes freely and that enclosure is level.
Floor/Base Plate Mount—
Procedure–
MOUNTING LEGS (OPTIONAL - IF ORDERED) Procedure—
1. Unpack legs and mounting hardware.
2. Inspect legs for damage.
3. Gently lay the controller on its back, using protection so the paint is not damaged. It is best to lay the controller in
a location that is out of the way from actual mounting location.
4. Attach each leg to the bottom of the enclosure using the provided hardware . Tighten nuts se-curely.
5. After legs are securely attached, stand the controller up on its legs for mounting. Each leg has 3 holes on the
bottom for anchoring to the floor or base plate.
Note—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine controller mounting location.
Refer to the controller dimension print for necessary mounting dimensions.
The controller is floor/base plate mounted by using the 3 pre-drilled holes in each leg. The holes are dimensionally on the
same center line for ease in mounting.
6. Using either the dimension print or by measuring distance between the center lines of the holes on one leg,
transcribe these dimensions onto the floor/base plate.
7. Drill 3 holes in floor/base plate for anchoring the leg.
8. Mark location of holes for opposite leg and drill 3 more holes.
9. Secure controller to floor/base plate with bolts and washers and tighten.
10. Check to be sure enclosure door opens freely and that enclosure is level.
If the controller is not installed and energized immediately, Firetrol recommend following the instructions from the chapter 3
of the NEMA ICS 15 standard.
The controller must be connected to the pipe system according to the latest edition of NFPA20 and also to a drain pipe. The
water connections are on the left side of the controller. The connection to the system pressure is a Male ½ NPT. If a drain
is present, the connection to the drain is a tapered connection for plastic tubing.
The electrical wiring between the power source and the diesel engine fire pump controller shall meet the NFPA 20, Chapter
12.3.5.1, 12.3.5.2 and 12.2.5.3, NFPA 70 National Electrical Code Article 695 or C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Section 32-
200 or other local codes.
