WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Personal injury could occur.
Ensure all power is disconnected before
installing or servicing this equipment.
These instructions are intended to assist in the understanding of the installation and operation
of the FTA1100. Read through these instructions thoroughly prior to connecting the controller.
If there are any questions unanswered in these instructions, please contact the local Firetrol
representative or factory service department.
INTRODUCTION
Firetrol® FTA1100 combined automatic and manual diesel engine fire pump controllers are
intended for starting and monitoring fire pump diesel engines. They are available for use with
12 or 24 volt negative ground systems using lead acid or Nickel-Cadmium batteries. FTA1100
fire pump controllers are listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., in accordance with UL218,
Standard for Fire Pump Controllers, CSA, Standard for Industrial Control Equipment (cUL), and
approved by Factory Mutual. They are built to meet or exceed the requirements of the approv-
ing authorities as well as NEMA and the latest editions of NFPA 20, Installation of Centrifugal
Fire Pumps, and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
MOUNTING CONTROLLER—
Note—Consult the appropriate job plans to determine controller mounting location. Controller
must be mounted within view of the engine.
Tools and Materials (all mounting):
1. Assortment of common hand tools of the type used to service electromechanical equipment.
2. Hole (conduit) punch.
3. Drill for drilling wall/floor anchor holes.
4. Hand level.
5. Tape measure.
6. Four (4) anchors with bolts and washer—if wall mount. Six (6) anchors, bolts and washers—if
floor/base mount.
Wall Mount—
Procedure—
1. Locate bottom mounting brackets and hardware.
2. Inspect 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 bracket to the bottom of the enclosure using the supplied hardware . Tighten
nuts securely.
WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Controller cannot stand upright with the bottom
mounting brackets attached. Leave laying on its
back until the wall anchors are ready for controller
installation.
WARNING
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
Controller is not free standing! Controller must be
secured to floor or wall surface before opening
door or operating.
Procedure—
All engine connections, remote alarm functions and AC wiring must be brought into the en-
closure at the bottom. (See dimension drawing for exact location). A gland plate is supplied for
ease of installation.
Proceed as follows:
1. Use a hole (conduit) punch, not a torch nor a drill, and punch a hole in the gland plate for
the size conduit being used.
2. Install necessary conduit.
Warning—Use only gland plate for conduit entrance. Controller warranty is VOID if any other
location is used.
Note—All field wiring connections are connected to terminal blocks located in the controller.
Terminals for interconnection to the corresponding numbered terminals on the engine termi-
nal block are located between the circuit breakers (CB1, AC power and CB2-CB3, battery
connections). Not all engines require all terminals to be connected. Reference engine wiring
diagram and Field Connection Diagram for appropriate information. Other terminals are for
connecting remote alarm functions and optional features are located on the controller relay
board(s).
AC line connections are made to terminals L1 and L2 (1CB). A ground lug, marked “G” is
provided for grounding. This AC circuit should come from a source having a circuit breaker
sized in accordance with the National Electrical Code and other local codes.
3. Pull all wires necessary for engine connections, remote alarm functions, AC power and all
other optional features. Allow enough excess wire inside enclosure to make up connections
to the terminal block. Be sure to consult the appropriate field connection diagram. Make
sure AC Circuit Breaker (CB1) and Battery Circuit Breakers (CB2, CB3) are turned “Off”.
Warning—Do not use controller wire way for routing external wiring.
Wire Sizes—
• Use #14 AWG wire minimum for all electrical connections except for battery charger con-
nections. (Battery chargers connected to terminals 6, 8, and 11.)
• On terminals 6, 8, and 11, use the following information to determine wire sizes:
Linear feet (in conduit run) Maximum
from controller to terminal Wire Size
block on engine
0’ to 25’ (0 to 7.62 m.) #10 AWG (6 mm2)
25’ to 50’ (7.62 m. to 15.24 m.) #8 AWG (10 mm2)
4. Make all field connections to remote alarm functions and any other optional features.
5. Verify AC line voltage and frequency with the controller data plate on the enclosure door prior
to energizing AC power.
3
6. Connect AC power to “L1” and “L2” (CB1) —120 Volt, 60 Hz or as called for on controller
data plate.
7. Connect remote normally open START push-button wires to terminals “13” and “14” (if used).
8. If deluge valve is used, remove jumper from terminals “16” and “17”. Connect wires from
normally closed contact on deluge valve to terminals “16” and “17”.
9. Connect remote normally open shutdown interlock wires to terminals “15” and “16” (if used).
A factory installed jumper will be installed on these terminals. If installing a interlock, this
jumper may be removed, otherwise leave jumper in place until the set up of the Mark IIXG is
complete.
10. Check to see that all connections are both correctly wired (in accordance with field con-
nection diagram) and tight.
11. Close enclosure door.

by a “ü” for enabled or a “x” for disabled. In many cases this can also be interpreted as
“ü” for yes or a “x” for no.
WARNING
RISK OF PROPERY LOSS,
DEATH OR INJURY
Incorrect or inappropriate controller settings could render the
fire protection system inoperable. Only qualified and knowl-
edgeable personnel should operate this equipment.

EVENT LOG
The Event Log is a record of events (pressure recording, alarms, starts, etc...) that are stored in the memory of the
Mark IIxg. The last 3000 events are kept in this memory. The events are stored in the order that they occur, with
the most recent being “first” (the last event that occurred will be event #1). The following keys are used to browse
through the event log:
Move forward through the events one at a time (1 - 2 - 3....etc)
Move backward through the events one at a time (55 - 54 - 53....etc)
Move forward through the events ten at a time (60 - 70 - 80....etc)
Move backward through the events ten at a time (91 - 81 - 71....etc)
Pressing and holding of the arrow keys will allow the scrolling to move faster.
DATA HISTORY
The Data History is a record of important data and events that are kept throughout the life of the controller.
Use arrows to scroll through the information stored in the Data History log. The available information is:
Numbers of calls to start • Number of actual starts • Pump total run time • Pump last run time • Total controller
power on time • Last pump start time/date • Minimum system pressure • Maximum system pressure • Last high
temp. alarm time/date • Last low oil pressure time/date • Last low fuel level time/date • Last charger failure time/
date • Last battery trouble time/date • Last engine overspeed time/date • Battery 1 & 2 voltage min/current/max •

USB
SAVE TO USB 1
Use arrows to enable or disable the Save to USB function. Press to confirm.
The following is saved to the USB flash drive: Event Log, Data History, Controller Information and all user defined
settings (pressure settings, timer settings, alarm settings....etc.). The saved file is a text file named the same as
the controller serial number (87654321.txt) and can be viewed using most word processing software.
Note: Use of a flash drive larger than 1GB may result in excessively long read/write operations. If a flash drive
larger than 1GB must be used, create a 1GB or less partition on that drive.

REMOVE DRIVE 1
Use arrows to enable or disable the Remove Drive feature. Press to confirm.
Much like a computer, the Remove Drive feature ensures file closure prior to removing the USB flash drive from
the Mark IIXG. Use of this feature helps prevent file corruption.
NOTE: The Mark IIXG also features an automatic daily save function. Every day at midnight (0:00) the events for
that day are written to a file on the USB flash drive. This file is also a text file (.txt) and is named for the month, in
the current year folder under Firetrol (x:\Firetrol\2009\Sept.txt).
