3 Pump units
0000082145 -.31

1. LPU module (MELPU)


2. Control cabinet (CLPU)

The pump unit is the main part of a HI-FOG® high-pressure water mist fire protection system. It pumps water into the tubing of the
system.

The HI-FOG® Land Pump Unit (LPU) is a modular pump unit designed to be used in buildings on land and in underground tunnels. The
LPU consists of 1–3 LPU modules and a control cabinet. The LPU modules are towers of 1–3 motor-pump modules. Each motor-pump
module comprises an electric motor and a high-pressure pump.

The pump controller in the control cabinet collects and records measured pressure values, and automatically adjusts the
system pressure. The control cabinet provides all operation signals, fault signals and alarms concerning the pump unit by visual and
audible means, and the pump controller can activate the pump unit automatically as a reaction to the measured values it receives.

When the pump unit is in the standby state, the pump controller makes sure that the standby pumping automatically maintains the
pressure in the tubing of the fire protection system within a range specifically set to fit the system. Depending on your HI-FOG®
system based on the LPU, the standby pumping is carried out either by a separate electric standby pump or the high-pressure
pump 1 controlled by a frequency converter. When the pump unit activates in a fire situation, the pump controller commands a
necessary amount of the high-pressure pumps to pump, so that the system pressure is maintained in the range set for the active
state.

In general, the pump unit operates automatically. The user can, however, control the pump unit locally via the user interface on the
control cabinet, or remotely by sending remote command signals to the control cabinet.

The fire protection system consists of the feed water supply, the pump unit and its accessories, the tubing from the pump unit to the
protected areas, and sprinklers or spray heads. The required and optional accessories are defined in the separate Accessories
Technical Data Sheet.

LPU — FM version Operation and Maintenance Manual

3.1 Functionality
0000064623 -.40

The pump unit can enter the active state and start high-pressure pumps as a result of any of the following situations:

• the system pressure drops below a set pressure value for longer than the set allowed time (automatic
start because of low pressure)
• the standby pump is running longer than the set allowed time (automatic start because of assumed
flow)
• the START button on the control cabinet is pressed (manual local start with the start button) •
the control cabinet receives a remote start signal from an external source, that sends it automatically,
such as a fire detection system (automatic remote start).
This feature exists only, if such an external device is installed.
• the control cabinet receives a remote start signal from an external source, that sends it because of
manual user action, such as a remote operation panel (manual remote start).
This feature exists only, if such an external device is installed.
The low system pressure is a result of a following situation:
• In a sprinkler system, when the heat of a fire breaks a heat-sensitive bulb on one or more sprinklers,
water starts to flow from the sprinklers. When the water flows out, the pressure decreases in the
system and pressure transmitters send a signal to the pump unit.
• In a spray head system, the section valves open and water starts to flow from the spray heads. When
the water flows out, the pressure decreases in the system and pressure transmitters send a signal to
the pump unit.
The pump unit is designed to start the motors of the high-pressure pumps sequentially, thus not creating
as high electric current peaks as if started at the same time.
In addition to the activation mechanisms, the high-pressure pumps can be turned on manually in the
following ways:
• the motor switches on the control cabinet are turned on (manual local start with the motor switches) •
the emergency start switches on the control cabinet are turned on (manual local start with the
emergency start switches)
Start high-pressure pumps with these switches only if the HI-FOG® system is not responding to a fire
situation automatically or after the manual start with the START button, or if so instructed for maintenance.
Be aware, that if you start high-pressure pumps with these switches, the pump unit does not perform
automatic operations as it would in the active state. See further instructions in this manual.
In the standby state, the pump controller in the control cabinet and a standby pump automatically maintain
the system pressure in the range specifically set for the standby state in your system.
In this manual, the standby pump means the pump that does the standby pumping.
Depending on your HI-FOG® system based on the LPU, the standby pumping is carried out either by a
separate electric standby pump or the high-pressure pump 1 controlled by a frequency converter.
The instructions in this manual apply in either case.

0000085376 -.5

3.7.1 Standby pumping


0000065217 -.15

The standby pumping occurs when the pump controller in the control cabinet detects a drop in the system pressure. The pump
controller monitors the system pressure continuously and reacts to the too low system pressure. The pump controller starts
the standby pump automatically, if the pressure drops below the standby pressure range, that is specifically set for your system.

In this manual, the standby pump means the pump that does the standby pumping.
Depending on your HI-FOG® system based on the LPU, the standby pumping is carried out either by a separate electric
standby pump or the high-pressure pump 1 controlled by a frequency converter.
The instructions in this manual apply in either case.

3.7.2 Automatic start


0000065247 -.18

The pump unit enters the active state and starts high-pressure pumps automatically in any of the following situations:

• the system pressure drops below a set pressure value for longer than the set allowed time (automatic start because of low
pressure)

• the standby pump is running longer than the set allowed time (automatic start because of assumed
flow)

• the control cabinet receives a remote start signal from an external source, that sends it automatically,
such as a fire detection system (automatic remote start).
This feature exists only, if such an external device is installed.

3.7.3 Automatic stabilization


0000117447 -.4

The pump unit is equipped with the automatic stabilization valve. The pump unit stabilizes automatically.

The stabilization is an automatic process that takes from less than half a minute up to a few minutes, depending on the

5.1.4 Inspect and refill the oil in the high-pressure pumps


0000066999 -.15

Maintain the oil level to prolong the lifespan of the high-pressure pumps. Wrong oil level may cause
severe damage to the high-pressure pumps.
The best time for the inspection is when the high-pressure pumps have not been pumped recently.
There is a sight glass for the oil inspection on the side of the pump. There might also be more than one sight
glass and they may vary in looks and size.

Figure 19. Example of a sight glass in the high-


pressure pump, oil level too low.

Do the following inspection and adjustment of the oil level to every pump:
Step 1. Visually inspect the condition of the sight glass.
If the sight glass is leaking, retighten it or change the seal of the sight glass.
(Retightening might not be possible with every type of sight glass.)
Step 2. See the oil quality in the sight glass.
The optimal oil color is golden brown when the pump is in the standby state and has not been pumped recently. During
pumping, the oil color turns cloudy and it stays cloudy for some time. That's normal.

Step 3. If you see metal flakes in the oil, or the oil appears dirty, gray or cloudy, and the pump is in the
standby state and has not been pumped recently, contact Marioff.
Step 4. See the oil level in the sight glass.
The optimal oil level is the mid-level of the dot marked on the sight glass.
Step 5. Add or remove oil if needed.
To add oil:
1. Remove the breather cap.
2. Add oil until the oil level is at the mid-level of the sight glass.
3. Reinstall the breather cap.
To remove oil:
1. Remove the breather cap.
2. Suck the excess oil out with a suction tool.
3. Reinstall the breather cap.
Step 6. Make sure that all the breather caps are in place.
Step 7. Clean all surfaces from any spilled oil.
Step 8. Recycle the oil that you removed from the high-pressure pumps.

Step 6. Open the outlet valve.

The system pressure drops.

Step 7. Acknowledge all fault alarms.

If the test fails, first troubleshoot the third-party manufacturer's device that should send the remote start signal.

If the third-party manufacturer's device does not send and stop sending the remote start signal properly, see the Troubleshooting
chapter in this manual.
