Jockey Pump on System? Yes No Settings: On Off
All questions are to be answered Yes, No or Not Applicable. All No answers are to be explained in the comments portion of this form.
WARNING: There is a hazard of electrical shock or burns to personnel whenever they are working on or near the pump controller. Turn off power supply to this equipment before working inside the controller and lockout or tag out or both disconnecting means in accordance with NFPA 70E, Part II. Where it is not feasible to de‐energize the system, take the following precautions:
a) Persons working near exposed parts that are or may be energized should be instructed and should use practices (including appropriate apparel, equipment, and tools) in accordance with NFPA 70E, Part II.
b) Persons working on exposed parts that are or may be energized should, in addition to a), be qualified persons who have been trained to work on energized circuits.
CAUTION: Fire pump controllers may have two sources of power supply, as well as alarm and auxiliary circuits energized from remote power supplies. When de‐energizing the controller for servicing, these power sources must be considered.
I. Preliminary Checks
The following checks shall made prior applying power to the fire pump controller?
1. Controller is free from damage, both internal and external? Make all necessary repairs or replacements prior to energizing.
Yes No N/A
2. Power source to the controller is fed from a reliable power source having infrequent power disruptions from environmental or man‐made conditions?
Yes No N/A
3. Three phase input power to the controller is installed in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 20, NFPA 70, FM 3‐7 and manufacturer’s listing?
Yes No N/A
4. Power supply circuit conductors are connected to the controller’s Isolating Switch (IS) line terminals L1, L2 and L3?
Yes No N/A
5. All circuit breakers and isolation switches are in the “OFF” position before energizing the controller?
Yes No N/A
6. System (power supply) voltage, motor nameplate voltage and horsepower ratings correspond to the controller nameplate voltages and horsepower ratings?
Yes No N/A
7. Conduits have been installed so as to prevent water from entering the controller enclosure?
Yes No N/A
8. Conduits (including stubs) have been bonded to the controller enclosure?
Yes No N/A
9. Conduit entry points into the controller enclosure are in areas recommended by the manufacturer?
Yes No N/A
10. Field wiring entering into the controller enclosure is adequately separated from live parts?
Yes No N/A
11. Installation of conduit has not compromised the environmental rating (NEMA Type 2) of the enclosure?
Yes No N/A
12. Contactor or contactors have been checked for full movement with the Emergency Manual Operator?
Yes No N/A
13. All conductors (control and power) have been checked for nicking or ringing?
Yes No N/A
14. All conductors (control and power) have been checked for tightness?
Yes No N/A
15. All conductors (control and power) have been located in the controller enclosure to avoid physical damage or overheating?
Yes No N/A
16. All connectors are seated and latched? Yes No N/A 17. All accessible electrical connections have been
retightened to the manufacturer’s torque values? Yes No N/A
18. All grounding connections are made properly? Yes No N/A
NOTE: The pump controller is Service Entrance Rated so a dual lug is provided for grounding electrode conductor and the grounded service conductor. No neutral connection is provided or needed. The controller is suitable for use on either three wire or four wire systems without the use of a neutral.
WARNING: A faulty motor or faulty wiring can cause electrical shock that could be fatal, whether the motor is touched directly or current is conducted through standing water. For this reason, safe installation and operation require proper grounding of the pump to the power supply ground (earth) terminal.
CAUTION: Special precautions are necessary to accomplish proper bonding and grounding when the controller is fed from two power sources.
19. All switches, circuit breakers, and other mechanisms have been manually exercised to make certain that they operate freely?
Yes No N/A
20. Limit switch, mounted on the Emergency Manual Operator, trips before the power contacts touch?

Form P/N 06‐815, Rev 2, 11/17 Phone: (816) 229‐3405, www.fike.com
21. The motor is connected in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s connection diagram and the motor leads are connected to the contactor in accordance with the manufacturer’s field connection diagram?
Yes No N/A
22. To prevent possible damage to equipment or injury to personnel, verify that all parts and barriers that may have been removed during wiring and installation have been properly reinstalled?
Yes No N/A
23. Controller enclosure has been thoroughly cleaned to remove all metal chips, scrap wire, and other debris?
Yes No N/A
Note: If there is appreciable accumulation of dust or dirt, use a brush, vacuum cleaner, or clean line‐free rags to clean the enclosure. Do NOT use compressed air because it will distribute contaminants to other surfaces.

of brass, rigid copper or 300 series stainless steel, is connected to the incoming bulkhead connector on the controller? This connection is used for pressure activation of the fire pump.
Yes No N/A
2. Two 3/32” orifices are installed between the fire protection system and the controller’s bulkhead fitting?
Yes No N/A

supervision are connected to the controller in accordance with the manufacturer’s field connection diagram?
Yes No N/A
2. Remote input connections for pump start and lockout (if applicable) are connected to the controller in accordance with manufacturer’s field connection diagram?
Yes No N/A
Note: Deluge start and Remote start terminals must be connected to normally closed contacts. Opening the contacts will remove monitoring power from the circuit causing the pump to start. DO NOT install an EOL across the terminals as this will cause to pump to start automatically.
IV. Energizing the Fire Pump Controller
WARNING: Energizing the controller for the first time is potentially dangerous. Therefore, only qualified personnel should energize the equipment. If faults caused by damage or poor installation practices have not been detected during the preliminary checks, serious damage or personal injury could result when power is applied to the controller and the connected motor.
WARNING: Once power is applied to the fire pump controller, do not attempt to start the pump until it has been primed (filled with water). Doing so will cause damage to the motor. Refer to Fike document 06‐814 for pump acceptance test.
1. Power has been applied to the controller by first closing the isolation switch (IS) then the circuit breaker switch (CB) located on the outside of the controller enclosure?
Yes No N/A
Note: Switches shall be operated with a firm, positive motion. Do not attempt to tease switches into the closed or open positions.
2. The automatic transfer switch (ATS), if supplied, does not immediately transfer to the alternate source when power is applied to the controller?
Yes No N/A
Note: If automatic transfer occurs, re‐check for incorrect phase sequence, or voltage or frequency outside the acceptable range.
3. If power transfer switch transferred to the alternate source, verify that it has been electrically or manually returned to the normal power side?
Yes No N/A
4. Controller powers up with no problems indicated on the LCD display?
Yes No N/A
5. Controller setup has been completed in accordance with the instructions provided in its manual and Appendix C of this document?
Yes No N/A
6. Line voltages (L1, L2 and L3) shown on the controller LCD are present and adequate? Do not operate the pump if voltage variations are greater than ‐10%/+10% of the rated nameplate voltage.
Yes No N/A
7. Power to the controller has been removed by turning off the controller’s circuit breaker (CB) switch and isolating (IS) switch?
Yes No N/A
Note: Switches shall be operated with a firm, positive motion. Do not attempt to tease switches into the closed or open positions.
