Model EC-Fire E for the electric motor and model EC-Fire D for the diesel motor, both equipped with Easy Controller, plus model EC-Fire J for the jockey pump, solid construction made of special profiled parts with cut-outs for forklift trucks and hooks to ensure trouble-free, safe transportation. Height-adjustable bracket for the outlet manifold, special base plate for the diesel motor which reduces the transfer of vibrations considerably and increases the reliability and service life.
A circuit with dual pressure switch, pressure gauge, non-return valve, valve (secured from use by unauthorised personnel) for the main pump and standby pump for automatic start. The cables are concealed in the construction and protected against bumps and cuts. Equipped with a diaphragm installed directly on the main/standby pump housing as standard, to prevent overheating in the event of zero flow.
Only for the model with diesel motor: Fuel tank with level sensor and sufficient volume for six hours of autonomous operation, as well as 2 batteries on the base frame and battery charging units on the EC-Fire switch cabinet.
Independent anti-vibration base frame for the diesel motor pump.
One switchgear EC-Fire E and one EC-Fire D plus EC-Fire J for fire extinguishing systems in accordance with EN 12845.
Switchgears integrated in a sheet metal enclosure in accordance with protection class IP54.
Optimum regulation and ease of use by EC-Fire control with direct display of the current operating status, with symbol-based multilingual LCD display, easy user interface with simple menu navigation, buttons for quick setting of parameters. Communicative controller for monitoring system operation.
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 pumping head of the pump at Q = 0. For sprinkler systems in accordance with EN 12845, 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/standby pump, it is necessary to install a supply tank with connection to the discharge pipe above the pump.
Volume flow
Up to 350 m³/h (97 l/s) system configuration for the main/standby pump.

Function description:
Wilo EC-Fire E control devices can be used to control pumps with an electric 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, 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 electric main pump does not start in systems with multiple pumps (for example due to problems with the power supply), the pressure drop will activate the pressure switch of the standby pump, which starts this pump. In some cases, two or more electric 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.

 Commissioning | Commissioning SiFire EDJ | 2219405 | |
High performance is our strength. Entrust the Wilo commissioning-service with ensuring a smooth process when implementing new systems in your installations. We will happily accompany you throughout the commissioning process of our products and support you step-by-step. You will benefit directly from the advantages of our products and their performance in operation. Our qualified service technicians will familiarise you with all strengths to guarantee a safe and optimal start. Why you should take advantage of our commissioning expertise: The pump is part of a complex supply system, that is why the focus of professional installers during commissioning is primarily on the higher-level system technology. However, the optimal pump settings – as a part of the overall system – are crucial for energy consumption and therefore for the efficiency and operational reliability of the entire system. The advantage of using professional installers is that they hand over a system to the customer which is energy efficient from the start and they do not have to acquire detailed knowledge of each control and pump series for this. This significantly reduces both energy costs and pump wear. The commissioning service provided by the Wilo service also includes instruction of the responsible building service engineer. | |||

 Energy Solutions | Energy Solutions SiFire EDJ | 2219306 | |
How can we help you to unlock hidden savings? Pumps are responsible for around 10% of global energy consumption. This is a considerable amount, but at the same time it poses a great opportunity. After all, this is precisely where it is worth starting in order to reduce the operating costs for public, commercial and industrial buildings and systems. More than two-thirds of operators are currently still using pumps which consume more energy than is necessary in the building services sector alone. Proactive change has advantages for all sides. You save energy and costs, improve the sustainability balance of your buildings and installations, and bring your technology up to date at the same time. This significantly reduces the risk of equipment failure and further reduces maintenance costs. With Wilo-Energy Solutions, we point out possible energy savings and take responsibility for future generations and the fight against climate change. Wilo-Energy Solutions involves Wilo high-efficiency technology to proactively replace pumps and pump systems which are still functioning but are inefficient. This allows you to reduce the energy consumption of pumps in your buildings and systems by up to 90% and profit from added benefits such as future security, supply security and hygiene safety. Optimising or replacing existing systems with new, highly efficient solutions (products, services, know-how) also has a positive impact on operating costs, operational reliability and CO2 emissions. We offer you targeted consultancy and analysis, including the involvement of subsidies as well as comprehensive support around the changeover to high-efficiency technologies. Here's how it works: | |||
