Introduction
Diesel engine fire pump controllers are designed to automatically start a diesel engine driven fire pump upon
detection of a pressure drop in the fire protection system. A diesel engine fire pump controller provides automatic &
manual starting and stopping. An automatic start is controlled by a pressure transducer or by remote automatic
devices as deluge valve. A manual start is controlled by remote manual button or by controller pushbutton. The
automatic shutdown option provides a 30-minutes automatic stop after automatic start once all starting causes have
returned to normal. The diesel engine fire pump controller includes two battery chargers to maintain the engine
batteries continuously charged.
Types of Diesel Engine Fire Pump Controllers
FIRE PUMP CATALOGUE NUMBER
MODEL NO. EXAMPLE : GPD-12-120

Model Prefix GPD
Battery Voltage 12 : 12V 24 : 24V
Incoming Voltage 120: 110/120V 50/60Hz 220: 208/240V 50/60Hz
Methods of starting/stopping
The controllers are available as combination automatic / non-automatic with provision for manual or automatic
shutdown (automatic shutdown only possible after automatic start)
METHODS OF STARTING
AUTOMATIC START
The controller will start automatically on low pressure detection by the pressure sensor when pressure drops below
the cut-in threshold. The controller must be in automatic mode.
MANUAL START
The engine can be started by pressing the CRANK 1 or and/or CRANK 2 push button, regardless of the system
pressure, when the Main Selector switch is in the HAND position. The Fuel Solenoid Valve will open as soon as a
CRANK button is pressed and will remain in this state.
REMOTE MANUAL START

The engine can be started from a remote location by momentarily closing a contact of a manual push button.
REMOTE AUTOMATIC START, DELUGE VALVE START

The engine can be started from a remote location by momentarily opening a contact connected to an automatic
device. The controller must be in automatic mode.
SEQUENTIAL START
In case of multiple pump application, it may be necessary to delay the starting of each motor in case of water
pressure drop to prevent simultaneous starting of all motors.
5
FLOW START, HIGH ZONE START
The controller can be started by opening/closing a contact on the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input.
WEEKLY START
The engine can be started (and stopped) automatically at the preprogrammed time.
TEST START
The motor can be started automatically for a preprogrammed time by pressing the run test button.
METHODS OF STOPPING
MANUAL STOP
Manual stop is done by pressing the STOP push button. Note that pressing the stop push button will stop the
engine only if all starting causes have disappeared.
AUTOMATIC STOP
The automatic stop is possible only after an automatic start and this function must be activated. When this function
is enabled, the motor is automatically stopped 30 minutes after the restoration of the pressure (above the cut-out
threshold) given that no other run cause is present.
FLOW STOP, HIGH ZONE STOP

If the controller has been started by the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input and that the signal has returned to
normal, the motor will be stopped given that no other run cause is present.
EMERGENCY STOP
The emergency stop is always possible in any running condition and is done by positioning the main selector switch
to the OFF position.
6
Installation
This diesel controller is UL listed and FM certified. The controller is built in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Fire Protection Association standard for the Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps, NFPA No.20

20
Home
Home (Membrane button) Home
The home page displays all controller statuses and important values of the controller. All voltages, currents,
pressure, engine state and status, as well as all timers and cranking sequences.
The entire background will become red if an alarm becomes active. This feature will help the user identify a problem
even at a significant distance away from the controller.
A: Navigation bar which contains general information about:
- The language (the language may be changed by pressing on it)

- The page title
- The alarm banner (warning and alarm messages may be shown)
- The date and time (adjustable in the Configuration page)
- The temperature. It can be changed to Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing
on it.
B: The battery charger state. It may become one of three colors and also explicitly describes the current battery
charger state.
POWER UP – Green
BULK – Green
OVER_CHARGE – Green
FLOAT – Green
LOST_TRACK – Grey
CHARGER_FAIL – Red
NO_AC – Red
BATTERY_FAIL – Green
C: The battery. The battery will be red if it is in failure and green otherwise. The first line of data shows the actual
21
voltage of the battery in volts and the second line shows the actual current in amperage.
D: The engine start contactor. It will be either open or close. When closed, the color of the contactor will be green,
showing that the contactor is active.
E: The starter gear. It represents the actual step of the cranking sequence. The counter inside indicates the step
timer, ranging from 15 to 0 seconds. As there are two cranking modes, “waiting for crank” and “cranking”, the gear
will alternate between yellow and green, allowing the user to know exactly the state of the cranking sequence.
Between the two contactors, a timer is visible. It indicates the current step inside the cranking sequence. It will stay
on a step during the 15 seconds of wait and on the 15 seconds of cranking and then will count on until the sixth
step, which is the end of the cranking sequence.
F: The diesel engine. It will be grey if the engine is stopped, green if an “Engine Run” signal is detected and red if a
“Fail to start” occurred, after 6 unsuccessful cranking attempts. Pressing on the engine will redirect the user to the
“Last Service Statistics” page, which monitors all relevant statistics concerning the controller since the last service.
Inside the engine two major alarms are represented; the “low oil pressure” alarm and the “engine high temperature”
alarm. These alarms will stop the engine only if it is running in test mode. When active, the appropriate alarm
symbol will light up, clearly indicating that the engine has a problem.
G: Three alternating square images representing three theoretical speeds to help understand the actual speed of
the engine. The grey gauge shows the needle at zero RPM when the engine is stopped, the green gauge shows
the set engine speed when it is running and the orange gauge shows the needle in the danger zone, representing
the overspeed alarm. Please note that you need to set the HOA selector switch at the “OFF” position in order to
reset the overspeed alarm. If the RPM meter option is enabled, a digital RPM counter will appear above these
images, to allow a precise reading of the actual RPM of the engine.
H: The “Fuel solenoid valve” that controls the flow of fuel in the engine. When the fuel solenoid is activated, the
valve will be horizontal, green and the yellow representation of the fuel will flow through the entire pipe. When the
“Stop Solenoid valve” is activated, the valve will rotate vertically, become red and the yellow representation of the
fuel will stop at the valve, indicating that the fuel does not flow through anymore.
I: Representation of the motor starting or stopping cause. A green capsule will indicate the reason why the motor is
running. Possible choices are:
LOCAL – This start cause is triggered if the engine is locally started directly from its own control panel and
the option is enabled.
MANUAL – It receives a manual crank request from one or both of the manual crank membrane buttons
while the selector switch is the “HAND” position.
REMOTE MANUAL: Manual engine starting activated by a remote start contact.
DELUGE: Automatic engine starting activated by a deluge valve.
AUTO: Automatic engine starting activated by pressure drop.
REMOTE AUTO: Automatic motor starting activated by remote equipment
FLOW: Automatic motor starting activated by a signal in the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input.
HIGH ZONE: Automatic motor starting activated by a signal in the FLOW/ZONE START/STOP input.
WEEK TEST: Automatic motor starting activated by a scheduled test.
MANUAL TEST: Automatic motor starting activated by the run test pushbutton.
AC FAIL – AC Fail will count the time following an AC Failure and at the end of a predetermined timer, will
start the engine with an AC FAIL request.
22
A red capsule will indicate the reason why the motor is not running despite
the fact that a request is being made. Possible choices are:
OVERSPEED– This start cause happens when the controller receives a request to start, but the engines
sends an “Overspeed” signal, thus preventing its ability to effectively start the engine.
FAILSTART – This start cause happens when the controller receives a request to start, but a “Fail To Start”
alarm is active after a cranking sequence failure, thus preventing its ability to effectively start the engine.
LOW ZONE: A not running lower zone controller prevents the motor from running. This functionality is
optional.
LOCKED: An interlock signal is preventing the motor from running.
J: The discharge pressure gauge. It allows for a precise reading of the actual system pressure. The red box on the
upper left corner of the gauge indicates the value of the Cut-In set point and the green box on the upper right corner
represents the Cut-Out set point. These values will also be represented by a red and green line on the gage,
allowing a quick comparison between the actual pressure and the set points. At the bottom of the gauge, a digital
indicator shows the actual discharge pressure represented also by the needle of the gauge. Just right of the digital
pressure indicator, the actual pressure unit is shown. Finally, the maximum allowable pressure is also indicated on
the gauge and will scale the gauge accordingly. The discharge pressure gauge is also a button linking to the
“Gauge” page, where all active gauges are displayed.
The dashboard
K: The HOA Selector switch. The three positions indicate the actual position of the HOA, “HAND” for manual mode,
“OFF” and “AUTO” for automatic mode. The controller should always be left in the “AUTO” position.
L: Operations timers including the sequential start timer, the run period shutdown timer, the manual test timer, the
weekly test timer and the AC Fail timer.
M: An “AC” pilot light. It represents the condition of the AC power source. The light will be green if AC power is
available and will become red if an AC failure is present. If the AC fail start option is active, the AC fail start timer
will appear right next of the AC pilot lamp.
N: This symbol appears when the membrane Stop push button is deactivated because of an active request. The
only way to stop the engine when this appears is to put the HOA in the OFF position.
O: The alarm/warning notification.

Warning indicator: Exclamation mark in a yellow round icon. If no alarm is in ACTIVE condition on the controller and
at least one warning is ACTIVE, the warning indicator will be present.
P: Displays three statuses that describe the primary configuration of the controller: Pressure actuated or Non-
pressure Actuated, Automatic Controller or Non-automatic, Manual or Automatic Shutdown.
23
Gauges Page Home > Gauges
All active gauges are gathered here (ex: pressure, flow and tachometer). The discharge pressure gauge on the
“Home” page must be clicked to access this page and more than 1 sensor must be installed. Clicking on the gauges
will redirect to the corresponding sensor page in the advanced configuration pages. To return to the “Home” page,
simply press the “Home” membrane button.
Screen Saver
The screen saver appears after a programmable amount of time set on one of the “Factory Settings” page. Its goal
is to expand the lifetime of the LCD screen. The screen saver will be instantly deactivated if the engine is running or
if an alarm is activated. To manually deactivate it, simply touch the screen or any membrane button. After
deactivation, the screen saver will always redirect to the “Home” page. It will also log off any user by resetting the
security level to 0.

Details of the Advanced Configuration Page
Timers Page Config > Advanced > Timers 1-2
Most common timers for fire pump control can be configured here. Note that any timer set to 0 will remove the delay
in the decision process.
Access level 1:
- Engine starting and stopping:

The main timers settings are the “Sequential Start Timer” (seconds), which allows a delayed response on an
automatic start request, the “Run Period Timer” (minutes), which in case of an automatic shutdown controller sets
the time before the controller will stop the engine when all conditions are back to normal and the “Fail when running
Timer” (seconds), which allows a delayed response to a “Fail When Running” condition. Note that this condition,
when active, will recreate a starting sequence to allow the engine to go back to the running state.
- Overpressure timer on: Time delay for the activation of the overpressure alarm, if used,
- Underpressure timer on: Time delay for the activation of underpressure alarm, if used.
- Low Suction Pressure alarm timer on: Time delay for the activation of the low suction pressure alarm, if
used.
34
- High Water/Fuel Level alarm timer on: Time delay for the activation of the high water/fuel level alarm, if
used.
- Low Water/Fuel Level Alarm timer on: Time delay for the activation of the low water/fuel level alarm, if used.
- AC Failure: The AC Fail Start is an optional starting cause. When an AC Failure alarm becomes ACTIVE,
the programmable Start Delay will start counting. At the end of the timer, if the AC Failure is still ACTIVE,
the engine will start with an AC FAIL starting cause. If no other requests are activated, the engine will stop
when the AC Failure alarm disappears. The option can be enabled/disabled in factory only.
- Low Oil Pressure alarm: Delays to buffer the “Low Oil Pressure” alarm (seconds). This delay is factory
reserved and can only be changed by Tornatech Inc. (security “Level 9”).
Inputs/Outputs Expansion board 1-2-3-4 Config > Advanced > IO

Expansion 1-2-3-4
This page allows the configuration of both programmable inputs and outputs available on an IO Expansion board.
Two buttons located far left swap between the input and output section of the page. Just beside, two square buttons
labelled “+” and “-“ are separated by a number that indicates the actual selected input/output. By using the “+ / -“
buttons, it is possible to navigate between them easily.
35
Output:
The configuration is performed by pressing on the square box located beside one of the signal needed. The box will
swap between BLANK (none), a NO (normally open) and a NC (normally close) symbol, allowing the desired
configuration to be obtained. On top of all outputs signals available, it is possible to link in the same way the
expansion board inputs to the selected output in any combination. The final state of the output signal is a logical
“OR” combination of all selected signal.
Input:
The input page has three elements: the “Digital Text Indication” field, the “Alarm Bell Icon” and the “Alarm Icon”.
Each one can be enabled or disabled. The first step is to click on the square button beside the text field to activate
the management of the input signal. Then, clicking on the text field will bring up the KeyPad, making it easy to write
a custom digital text indication. A maximum of 20 characters is allowed. Refer to the KeyPad help page for more
information. If the “Alarm Bell Icon” is enabled, the input signal will trigger the Alarm Bell. If the “Alarm Icon” is
enabled, the input signal will be treated as an alarm, if not, as a warning. As on the output page, the “+ / -“ buttons
allows for an easy navigation between all available inputs of the expansion board.
Update Program Page
This procedure is highly important and must be attempted with care. Please make sure to contact the factory prior
to using the Update Software function.
To ensure the program update is successful:

-Make sure the USB Device is plugged in at all times during the procedure.
-Do not power off the ViZiTouch while updating the software.
-Make sure the procedure is complete before removing the USB device. The ViZiTouch will reboot automatically.
All active logs, data and configuration will not be affected by software updates. Usual operation of the controller will
resume as soon as the software update is completed.
36
Factory Settings Config > Advanced > Factory Settings 1-2-
3-4
37
The factory settings are always pre-configured at the factory and set the main parameters of the controller.
Left Section:
Automatic Controller – Non-Automatic Controller: An automatic controller will respond to automatic start requests,
like a pressure transducer, a pressure switch, a deluge valve or a remote automatic start trigger. A non-automatic
controller will only start the engine on manual requests.
Pressure Actuated – Non-Pressure Actuated: A pressure actuated controller has at least one pressure transducer
installed and will monitor the system pressure at all time. In an automatic controller, the pressure drop will trigger a
starting sequence of the engine automatically. A non-pressure actuated controller is equipped with a pressure
switch only.
“Reset to Factory Settings”: This button redirects to the “Reset to Factory Settings” page. This is a major operation
that must be used with care and only if the factory was contacted first. See the “Reset to Factory Settings” help for
more details.
Right Section:
The first two settings set the nominal AC and DC voltage for the controller.
The following section enables the “Engine RPM” counter. The connection must be made with the engine’s
magnetic pickup using the "U" terminal on the GPD - IO board. If enabled, the “Teeth” parameter must be set
according to the exact number of “teeth” on the magnetic pickup gear. This parameter will allow the ViZiTouch to
calculate precisely the engine actual RPM with a fast refresh rate. The value will be shown in the upper-right corner
of the homepage, over the symbolic “RPM” image. This is the only setting available to a “Level 1” user on the
“Factory Settings” page.
Technical information about the controller: Serial Number, Battery Charger Type, Model Name and Software
Revision.
Additional optional factory parameters: Most parameters defined here share the same type of configuration. The
“Bell” icon, if activated, will trigger the alarm bell and the “alarm” icon, if activated will define this signal as an alarm,
otherwise, it will be identified as a warning only.
The “Weak Battery 1-2 Voltage” settings are configured to take action upon analysis of the battery 1-2 voltage. It will
trigger an alarm/warning if the voltage read is lower than the value set.
The “Pressure Line Failure” settings are configured to take action upon analysis of the system pressure. It will
trigger an alarm/warning if the pressure read is higher than the value set.
38
The “Engine Low Coolant Temperature (312)” settings are configured to take action when the “312” terminal is used
for electronic diesel engines that uses this signal. It will trigger an alarm/warning at the end of the programmable
timer if enabled.
Additional optional factory parameters
The optional “Local Request Detection” can be Enabled/Disabled here, as the programmable delay used to trigger
the detection. The delay sets the time before the ViZiTouch detects a “LOCAL” request. The “Local” request is
defined by an active “Engine Run” input on the engine terminal strip “U” while no request was detected. In other
words the engine was started locally on the engine control panel itself, without any request made by the ViZiTouch.
The “Test Mode” can be enabled only by Tornatech Inc. and is a way to shorten the cranking sequence timers to
accelerate testing during the manufacturer validation test. It should always be disabled during normal controller
operations.
ECM Warning (303): Settings are configured to take action when the “303” terminal is used for electronic diesel
engines that use this signal. It will trigger an alarm/warning at the end of the programmable timer if enabled.
ECM Fault (304): Settings are configured to take action when the “304” terminal is used for electronic diesel
engines that use this signal. It will trigger an alarm/warning at the end of the programmable timer if enabled.
Higher Zone Enable Delay: Delay, in seconds, after which a motor run signal is sent to a higher zone controller.
This option is only used for controllers in series.
Lower zone Request Maintain: Delay, in seconds, for which a run demand to a lower zone controller is maintained
after all run causes has return to normal. This option is only used for controllers in series.
LCD Backlight Dim Timer: The inactivity time it takes for the ViZiTouch screen to start fading out. This is done to
preserve the durability of the screen’s backlight. It is factory programmed to 5 minutes.
LCD Backlight Turn Off Timer: The inactivity time it takes for the ViZiTouch screen to turn off completely. It is
factory programmed to 5 minutes.
The inactivity timer starts if no “user actions” are detected on the screen or the membrane, the engine is not running
and no alarms are “ACTIVE”. As soon as one of those conditions is met, the inactivity timer will reset.
Low Ambient Temperature: Set-point for the low ambient temperature alarm.
High Ambient Temperature: Set-point for the high ambient temperature alarm.
Reset to Factory Settings Page
39
This page will reset the ViZiTouch to the original factory configuration, thus clearing all subsequent configurations
performed during the life of the controller.
This procedure should only be used as a last attempt to bring back the controller to a usable state.
User “Level 2”:
The “RESET” button will be activated (will become blue) only if no square buttons from the left column are activated
and the “Last Saved Settings” from the right column is not activated as well. A “Level 2” user can only reset the
“Factory Settings” and/or the “Additional Settings” from the right column.
The “Factory Settings” reset will restore the controller to its original factory configuration and service state. This
means that the first service will be undone, automatic mode settings, as well as the controller’s “Homepage” will be
deactivated until “First Service” is completed again. Please refer to the “Quick Start-Up” guide for more information
on how to perform the “First Start-Up” and how to complete the “Field Acceptance Test Report”.
Please note that all logs, pump curves and statistics will not be reset.
The “Additional Settings” reset will update the controller with an additional configuration sent by the manufacturer. It
does not perform a true “Factory Reset”. Its purpose is to allow an update of configuration variables that can only be
updated by Tornatech Inc.
All other square buttons on this page are “Level 9” security and can only be used by certified Tornatech
representatives, unless otherwise specified. The first square in the upper left corner performs the “Select all”
function for these parameters.
40
Service Page Config > Advanced > Service
The upper left section hosts the Tornatech Inc. business card by default. This image can be changed by the service
dealer to incorporate a customized image. The image must have been created by Tornatech Inc., sent to the
service dealer and copied on a USB Device. The “Level 1” user can update the image by pressing the Tornatech
logo when the USB Device containing the business card is inserted into the USB port. Please contact factory for
more details.
The box situated just right of the business card is related to the “Pump Curve”. The ViZiTouch allows for the
recording of up to 10 different pump curves. The date and time of the last pump curve recorded is displayed here.
The “NEW” button allows the user to record a new pump curve. Clicking this button will redirect the user to the “New
Pump Curve” page. See the “New Pump Curve” help section for more details on how to record a new pump curve.
The user can see both the date of the last service done and the date of the next service at the bottom of the screen.
Access level 1:
- Change the period before the next service is required by pressing the white box between the “Last Done” date and
the “Next On” date. The “Next On” date will be adjusted automatically depending on the period selected and the
date of the last service.
When the required service is done, the user must click on the “Service Done” button to commit and end the service.
41
New Pump Curve Service > New Pump Curve
The Service Dealer “New Pump Curve” Procedure
This page allows the user to create a pump curve. At the bottom of the screen, there are 3 buttons:
- Reset: Clears the data of the pump curve in progress.

- Auto: Uses needed types of transducers to create the pump curve (Discharge pressure, Suction pressure and
Flow sensor need to be installed.)
- Save: Saves the pump curve and update the pump curve chronological order as displayed in the “History > Pump
Curves” page.
The first line of the legend displays the system units for every column. The second row of the legend describes the
parameters represented and the third line of the legend displays the actual value of these parameters for quick
th
reference. The scroll bar on the right of the table allows the user to move downward in the table, up to the 10
point. The new pump curve data will become invalid if the Flow of Pressure units are changed during the input
procedure or if no Flow or Pressure data is entered. In that case, click on the reset button. The Save button must be
used in order to record the pump curve into the ViZiTouch memory.
- Pdis: Discharge Pressure

- Psuc: Suction Pressure
- Pnet: The Net Pressure is calculated by subtracting the Suction Pressure from the Discharge Pressure. In Manual
Mode, it must be entered manually.
- Flow: Flow
- Rpm: Rpm if enable or manually entered.
“Manual Mode”
To manually create a pump curve, data must first be entered on the first row and then on subsequent rows. There
are a total of 10 rows available, but there is no minimum required to get a curve. Of course, more rows improve
precision.
In each column the user must input every following value for maximum information, readability and future reference.
It is possible to create a quick pump curve, but it is not recommended since future references might be less
accurate. In that case, only fill the Pnet and the Flow values. The first row of data must set the “Flow” to 0 and the
last row of data must have a Pnet of 0. These values will ensure the pump curve is fully represented on the graph,
for all pressure and all flows.
When the required number of points are entered, just click on the “Save” button to record the pump curve and exit
this page. You will be redirected to the “History > Pump Curve” page.
42
“Auto Mode”
To automatically create a pump curve, the discharge pressure, suction pressure and flow meter must all be installed
on the controller.
-Click on the “Auto” button
-A series of validation will take place to ensure all data is valid.
-After a pre-defined timer, the ViZiTouch will acquire all data from all sensors and fill the first row of the pump curve
table. The pressure must be stabilized before the samples are to be taken. The Pnet pressure will be calculated.
-The ViZiTouch will then ring the Alarm Bell shortly, alerting the user to drop the pressure. As soon as the pressure
is stabilized once again, the ViZiTouch will take the second row of values.
-This automatic procedure will go on until the discharge pressure is near zero.
-The ViZiTouch will then take the last row of samples and stop the Automatic mode acquisition.
-At any point, it is possible to reset the recorded values and start the automatic mode sequence from the beginning.
- Click on the “Save” button to record the pump curve and exit this page. The user will be redirected to the “History
> Pump Curve” page.
Automatic Pump Curve Mode Disabled
The automatic pump curve was disabled because it needs three sensors installed. The three sensors buttons link to
the corresponding sensor page, allowing a quick navigation. If the button is orange, this indicates that this particular
sensor is not installed. If the button is blue, it means that this particular sensor is installed. It is always possible to
quit the automatic mode by pressing the "Cancel" button.
43
The Sensors Pages
44
45
In the ViZiTouch, all sensors refer to analog input connectors on the I/O board. They all have similar settings and
configuration.
The “Installed” selection (”Level 2” security): Install or uninstall this sensor from the ViZiTouch configuration.
Discharge Pressure: To set the pressure system unit, go the “Config” page. All pressure transducers share the
same unit.
The “Source” button (4 choices): (“Level 2” security)
- None: No pressure transducer or pressure switch is installed
- PT1 (factory standard): Only the AI1 terminal on the “T” terminal strip is enabled.
- PT2: Only the AI2 terminal on the “T” terminal strip is enabled.
- AUTO (factory installed option): AI1 and AI2 are installed and arranged for a redundancy system. The ViZiTouch
will always consider the lowest of the two pressure values as the reference. Additional alarms, like “PT fault
detected” become enabled. This alarm is triggered when the two transducers provides values that are different by
more than a pre-set delta value. The ViZiTouch will never make a decision as to which transducer is faulty; it will
only reveal that there is a problem with one of them. The service dealer should test both transducers to find out
which one is faulty.
Suction Pressure: To set the pressure system unit, go the “Config” page. All pressure transducers share the same
unit.
The “suction pressure” sensor shares the same analog input (AI4) as the water level sensor. Only one of them can
be installed at all time. Prior to installing one of them, the other one must be uninstalled by visiting its own sensor
page.
Flow: The “Flow” sensor shares the same analog input (AI3) as the spare temperature sensor. Only one of them
can be installed at all time. Prior to installing one of them, the other one must be uninstalled by visiting its own
sensor page.
The “Unit” button is located just right of the “Installed” selection. Click on it to select the appropriate “Flow” Unit, the
factory pre-set unit is the GPM.
Flow Start:
- Enable/Disable the “Flow Start” condition by pressing the square button. If this alarm is enabled, it will also start
the engine by means of a “FLOW” request.
- Alarm Bell Icon: Activates the bell when a “Flow Start” occurs.
- Alarm Icon: If selected, the “Flow Start” event will be an alarm. If unselected, it will be a warning.
- Value: Flow value at which the “Flow Start” event will change state.
- Timer On: Timer used to buffer the activation of the “Flow Start” signal by the ViZiTouch.
Water Level: The “Water Level” sensor shares the same analog input (AI4) as the suction pressure sensor. Only
one of them can be installed at all time. Prior to installing one of them, the other one must be uninstalled by visiting
its own sensor page. The “Water Level” sensor has no unit, since it is monitoring the “Water Level” as a percentage.
Spare Temperature: The “Spare Temperature” sensor shares the same analog input (AI3) as the Flow sensor. Only
one of them can be installed at all time. Prior to installing one of them, the other one must be uninstalled by visiting
its own sensor page. The “Unit” button is located just right of the “Installed” selection. Click on it to select the
appropriate “Spare Temperature” Unit, the factory pre-set unit is the Celsius.
Fuel Level (GPD Model Only): The “Fuel Level” sensor has no unit, since it is monitoring the “Fuel Level” as a
percentage.
The Calibration method is the same for all sensors.
CALIBRATION:
The Calibration button: (“Level 2” security for the choice of calibration, but “Level 1” security for the calibration
procedure itself.) There are 4 ways to calibrate every sensor:
46
- 0-10V: Theoretical calibration with 0-10V sensor. Simply enter a value in the system pressure unit for 0V and
another value for 10V. Click on the “Apply” button to confirm the calibration. The resulting measured pressure is
shown in the lower right corner of the “Sensor” box. Make sure the dipswitch package right below the “T” terminals
is set to “0-10V” for that particular sensor (refer to the drawing). The switches are labelled and are each linked to
one analog input, in this case “1 or 2”. *Important Note: A set of jumpers is also associated with each analog input.
MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS COMPLETELY POWERED OFF BEFORE MOVING A JUMPER. THIS
INCLUDES REMOVING THE AC AND DC POWER. The jumper can be placed on “5Vdc”, “12Vdc” and “Vaux” and
represents the powered DC value of the sensor. The factory pre-set position is “5Vdc”. If an installed sensor has a
power value of “5Vdc”, then the “0-10V” theoretical calibration must be calculated accordingly. Please contact
manufacturer for more information.
- 4-20mA: Theoretical calibration with 4-20mA sensor. Simply enter a value in the system pressure unit for 4mA and
another value for 20mA. The procedure explained above also applies in this case.
-Field Calibration: This is the factory pre-set method and the only one that is an actual calibration. Selecting this
calibration method will generate the Calibration box situated in the lowest part of the sensor page. It is very
important that the same care is used when selecting the appropriate dipswitch setting and jumper position. Please
refer to the “0-10V” section above.
1.Two actual points (low and high) are required
2. Set the lowest point (usually 0).
3. Press the left read button
4. Press the left rectangle text field and enter the value read on the external calibrated gauge.
5. Set a high point (usually the highest possible value will create the best calibration).
6. Press the right read button
