3 Pump units
0000082145 -.31
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.
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.
The LPU is a pump unit that consists of motor-pump modules. Each motor-pump module comprises an electric motor and a
high-pressure pump.
1.Electric motor
2.Window cover
3. Breather cap
4. Pulsation damper
5.Sight glass
6. Pressure relief valve
7. Thermoplastic hose of the pressure relief valve
The motor-pump modules are installed on top of each other, on a base module that is attached to the floor. Each base
module is capable of holding up to three motor-pump modules. The pump unit can consist of up to three such towers,
called LPU modules, and the control cabinet.
1. Drain line
2.Outlet high-pressure line
3. Pressure gauge
4. Stabilization valve
5. Water inlet
6. Pressure relief valve
7.Safety valve
An LPU module consists of 1–3 motor-pump modules. In the pump unit, there is always one primary LPU module called
the Master LPU module, which is equipped with sensors and the stabilization valve. In some pump units, there are also additional
LPU modules without sensors and the stabilization valve.

The pump unit is used via the user interface installed on the doors and the side of the control cabinet.
In some maintenance tasks you also turn the manual valve switches installed on the feed water pipes and the tubing of the system.
The user interface on the control cabinet consists of the following parts:
• Lamps
• Push buttons
• Switches
• Ammeters
• Voltmeters
• Physical buttons
The lamps indicate the pump unit status and alarms. The push buttons are for manually starting and stopping the pump unit, testing
the lamps and turning off the alarm sound. The switches are for starting individual motors and the standby pump.
Ammeters show the electric current for each motor and voltmeters show the voltage for each phase. The GUI shows the data that
the pump controller in the control cabinet collects and enables configuring parameters for the pump unit.
In addition to the user interface installed on the control cabinet of the pump unit, the HI-FOG® system can also be equipped with remote
devices for sending remote command signals to the control cabinet.
The graphical user interface (GUI) consists of a touch screen and physical buttons.

The standby state is the normal operating state of the pump unit. Usually the pump unit is in the standby state.
In the standby state the control cabinet is operational and the system pressure is within the standby pressure range specifically
set for your system.
In the active state the pump unit is actively pumping high-pressure water into the tubing of the HI-FOG® system.
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.
After starting, the pump unit continues to pump and maintains the system pressure and the system flow above the set values specific
to the system.
The pump unit remains in the active state and continues to pump until one of the following situations happen: • the pump unit
runs out
cabinet is pressed
In the stabilization state, the pump unit is in the process of entering the standby state. This process is called stabilization.
The stabilization is an automatic process that takes from less than half a minute up to a few minutes, depending on the system.
When the pump unit is in the stabilization state, it means that the pump unit has already started the stabilization process.
If you need to manually start the stabilization process of the pump unit, see the instructions in this manual.
WARNING!
In case of a fire accident during stabilization, start the pump unit manually.
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.
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

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.
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
system. When the pump unit is in the stabilization state, it means that the pump unit has already started the stabilization process.
If you need to manually start the stabilization process of the pump unit, see the instructions in this manual.
The pump unit is equipped with an automatic test function that is by default disabled.
Using the automatic test function is required by the local authorities in some locations.
If the authority having jurisdiction requires, set the pump unit to do the automatic test in set intervals and know how to react to the
test results. See the instructions in this manual and ask Marioff for more information to achieve a thorough understanding
of the function before using it.

Make sure that the water supply functions properly. The method and dimensioning of the water supply are
specific to your system.
For instructions how to inspect the water supply capacity, see the system-specific documentation.
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.
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.

Some systems include a feed water pump. The purpose of this procedure is to test if the feed water pump
starts properly and to detect any possible leakages.
Test the manual operation of a feed water pump in a system with pressurized water feed.
Step 3. Start the feed water pump by turning the manual switch.
Step 4. See the inlet pressure in the INFO view in the GUI.
During the test you might generate alarms, for example because of a high system pressure in the standby state.
If the system includes a feed water pump, use it to ensure that the pump unit gets a sufficient amount of water in the procedure.
First render the pump unit safe and ready for the procedure.
Step 1. Make sure that the pump unit is in the standby state.
Step 3. Close the outlet valve. If the pump unit includes more than one outlet valve, close all of them.
Now the pump unit is isolated from the tubing of the system.
Closing the outlet valve generates a fault alarm.
Do the test.
The feed water pump starts (if the system includes a feed water pump).
The pump unit automatically starts only as many high-pressure pumps as needed to keep the system pressure a little
above the value set for the active state.
It may take a while until the pump unit has found the optimal number of high-pressure pumps.
The pump unit enters the stabilization state. The stabilization process starts and continues automatically and the
pump unit enters the standby state. You have now stabilized the pump unit.
NOTICE!
If the control cabinet is receiving a remote start signal at the moment, the pumps
can not be stopped with the STOP button.
To stop the high-pressure pumps, first make sure that the control cabinet is not
receiving the remote start signal, and then press the STOP button.
First render the pump unit safe and ready for the procedure.
Step 1. Make sure that the pump unit is in the standby state.
Step 3. Close the outlet valve. If the pump unit includes more than one outlet valve, close all of them.
Now the pump unit is isolated from the tubing of the system.
Closing the outlet valve generates a fault alarm.
Do the test.
The high-pressure pumps start and pump to keep the system pressure a little above the value set for the active state.
The pump unit automatically starts only as many high-pressure pumps as needed, and it may take a while until the
pump unit has found the optimal number of high-pressure pumps.
The pump unit enters the stabilization state. The stabilization process starts and continues automatically and the
pump unit enters the standby state. You have now stabilized the pump unit.
NOTICE!
If the control cabinet is receiving a remote start signal at the moment, the pumps can not be stopped
with the STOP button.
To stop the high-pressure pumps, first make sure that the control cabinet is not receiving the remote
start signal, and then press the STOP button.
The purpose of this test procedure is to see that every motor switch turns on the connected motor and high-pressure pump.
During the test you might generate alarms, for example because of a high system pressure in the standby state.
If the system includes a feed water pump, use it to ensure that the pump unit gets a sufficient amount of water in the procedure.
First render the pump unit safe and ready for the procedure.
Step 2. Close the outlet valve. If the pump unit includes more than one outlet valve, close all of them.
Now the pump unit is isolated from the tubing of the system.
Closing the outlet valve generates a fault alarm.
Step 3. Make sure that the feed water pump is turned on (if applicable).
Do the test.
To test the motor switches one by one: Step 4.
The high-pressure pump starts pumping and the system pressure rises high.

If you have equipped your system with a fire detection system or a remote operating panel made by a third-party manufacturer,
test that the remote start signal functions properly. For instructions how to send the remote start signal from that device, see the
manufacturer's instructions.
Step 1. Make sure that the pump unit is in the standby state.
Step 3. Start sending the remote start signal to the control cabinet.
The pump unit receives the remote start signal and enters the active state.
The high-pressure pumps start and pump to keep the system pressure a little above the value set for the active state.
The pump unit starts only as many high-pressure pumps as needed, and it may take a while until the pump unit has
automatically found the optimal number of high-pressure pumps.
Step 4. Stop sending the remote start signal to the control cabinet.
The pump unit enters the stabilization state. The stabilization process starts and continues automatically and the
pump unit enters the standby state. You have now stabilized the pump unit.

If the control cabinet is receiving a remote start signal at the moment, the pumps can not be
stopped with the STOP button.
To stop the high-pressure pumps, first make sure that the control cabinet is not receiving the
remote start signal, and then press the STOP button.
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.
The coupling between the motor and the high-pressure pump contains one part that needs to be
inspected for damage. It is the flexible coupling element between the coupling halves.

laws and regulations.
Obey the site-specific and the country-specific laws and regulations about the
necessary warning signs.
Step 1. Visually inspect the control cabinet on the outside and the inside.
If you find any damage, contact Marioff.
Step 2. Make sure that the following documents are in good condition and available in the door pocket of
the control cabinet:
• the Data Sheet that is specific to the control cabinet •
the Circuit Diagram that is specific to the control cabinet •
the Operation and Maintenance Manual of the pump unit •
any other documents that Marioff instructs to keep in the door pocket
If a document is in poor condition or lost, contact Marioff for a replacement.
CAUTION!
No storage items are allowed inside the control cabinet, except those documents that Marioff instructs
to always keep available in the door pocket of the control cabinet.
Step 3. Remove any excess storage items that may be inside and on top of the control cabinet.
Store the items elsewhere.
CAUTION!
