Event Recording
Memory - The controller shall record all operational
and alarm events to system memory. All events shall be
time and date stamped and include an index number.
The system memory shall have the capability of storing
3000 events and allow the user access to the event log
via the user interface. The user shall have the ability to
scroll through the stored messages in groups of 1 or 10.
Serial Communications
The controller shall feature a RS485 serial communica-
tions port for use with 2 or 4 wire Modbus communica-
tions.
Solid State Pressure Transducer
The controller shall be supplied with a stainless steel
solid state pressure transducer with a range of 0-300 psi
(0-20.7 bar) ±1 psi. The solid state pressure transducer
shall be used for both display of the system pressure and
control of the jockey pump controller. Systems using ana-
log pressure devices or mercury switches for operational
control will not be accepted.
The START and STOP PRESSURE shall be adjustable
through the user interface. The pressure transducer shall
be mounted inside the controller to prevent accidental
damage. The pressure transducer shall be directly pipe
mounted to a bulkhead pipe coupling without any other
supporting members. Field connections shall be made
externally at the controller coupling to prevent distortion
of the pressure switch element and mechanism.
Seismic Certification
The controller shall be certified to meet or exceed the
requirements of the 2006 International Building Code
and the 2010 California Building Code with Importance
Factor 1.5 and Sds equal to 1.88 or less. Qualifications

shall be based upon successful tri-axial shake-table
testing in accordance with ICC-ES AC-156. Certification
without testing shall be unacceptable. Controller shall
be clearly labeled as rated for installation in seismic areas
and a Certificate of Conformance shall be provided with
the controller.
Operation
A digitally set On Delay (Sequential Start) timer shall
be provided as standard. Upon a call to start, the user
interface shall display a message indicating the remaining
time value of the On Delay timer.
The controller shall include a Minimum Run Timer
to allow the motor to run for a set period of timer after
starting. The timer shall be programmable through the
user interface.
A pump restart delay timer shall be provided to al-
low the residual voltage of the motor to decay prior to
restarting the motor and to prevent severe short cycling
of the motor. The timer shall be programmable through
the user interface.
A Lamp Test feature shall be included. The user
interface shall also have the ability to display the status
of the system inputs and outputs.
An Audible Test feature shall be included to test the
operation of the audible alarm device (if supplied).
The disconnect switch shall be mechanically inter-
locked so that the enclosure door cannot be opened with
the handle in the ON position except by a hidden tool
operated defeater mechanism. The disconnect switch
shall be capable of being padlocked in the OFF position
for installation and maintenance safety.
