Separated fuel tank with level sensor and adequate volume to allow 6 hours operating autonomy and 2 batteries on the base plate and battery chargers in the control box.

Switchgears D and J for fire-fighting systems in accordance with EN 12845:2015 + A1:2019.

Switchgear D integrated in a sheet metal enclosure in accordance with rating IP54.

Electronic device J built in a compact case, rating IP65.

Very high control quality and very simple operation due to the firefighting dedicated controller, with multi-languages screen, easy navigation with simple menu and push button plus immediate operation status with symbols. Communication-ready controller for supervising systems operations.

The system has been mounted on the base frame with wires and pipes are ready for connection.

Inlet pressure:

The maximum inlet pressure must be taken into account when designing the system configuration (see Technical data). The maximum permissible inlet pressure is calculated from the maximum operating pressure of the system minus the maximum delivery head of the pump at Q = 0. For sprinkler systems in accordance with EN 12845:2015 + A1:2019, the water pressure should not exceed 12 bar. In sprinkler systems with a pronounced slope, in which the difference in height between the highest and lowest sprinkler is more than 45 m, the water pressure can be higher than 12 bar at the pump outlet or in the piping, provided that all of the system components are designed for this pressure level.

Installation of the pressure boosting pump under suction conditions.

For the main pump, it is necessary to install a supply tank with connection to the discharge pipe above the pump.

Volume flow

Up to 320 m³/h (89 l/s) system configuration for the main pump.

Function description:

Wilo D control devices can be used to control pumps with a diesel motor, sensors for pump management and the level of information. The microprocessor-controlled switchgear is used to control and regulate all required functions of a pressure-boosting system according to EN 12845:2015 + A1:2019, for test purposes or actual sprinkler events.

The operating logic for the fire extinguishing unit is based on the cascade calibration of the pressure switches for starting the pump.

If a large amount of water is requested due to the opening of one or more circuits or due to a defective sprinkler, the pressure in the system decreases. As a result, the main pump is started using switchgear. If the diesel main pump does not start in systems with multiple pumps (for example due to problems with the power supply), a pressure drop will activate the pressure switch of the standby pump, which starts this pump. In some cases, two or more diesel pumps can be used.

As soon as the sprinkler circuit or gate valve, via which the sprinkler heads are supplied, is closed, pressure is built up in the system. The stop buttons on the front door must then be pressed to stop the pump.

Wilo-Control J (jockey pump with electric motor)

Hardware:

Electronic control device for single phase electric pump, built in a compact case, rating IP65, control and display devices on the front.

Fault message and acknowledgement: All alarm messages are displayed via LEDs or the graphic screen. The LEDs color and alarm code must be acknowledged.

Software:

• Factory-programmed for fully automatic operation

Function description:

Wilo J control devices can be used to control jockey pumps with single phase electric motor according to EN 12845:2015 + A1:2019, for test purposes and operation of the sprinkler system.

The operating logic for the fire extinguishing unit is based on the cascade calibration of the pressure switches for starting the pump.

The jockey pump of pressure boosting is the first to start and maintains the system full of water and under pressure. It starts when the pressure drops in the system. Start and stop control is set up via the pressure setting menu.
