OPERATION DESCRIPTION OF THE FTACONTROLLER IS AS FOLLOWS:INSTALLATION: Before installation, check the controllerhorsepower, voltage and phase information to see that itagrees with the incoming power available and pumpingequipment supplied. Check system pressure to makesure it is compatible with the controller. See “SelectionData Sheet” for “options” and design parameters ofcontroller. If not compatible, contact the pump supplierand do not proceed with installation. The controllerelectrical specifications are located on a silver and blackidentification plate mounted inside the controller door.the specified line voltage and has two fuses located in itsprimary circuit. The 120 volt output of the transformer isalso fused and connected to terminals 2 and 3 of thecontrol circuit. 120 volt power is available to the controlcircuit whenever the disconnect switch is “ON”.CAUTION: Controllers may be supplied with automaticoperating devices such as pressure switches oftransducers, timers and alarms. These devices must be“SET” before attempting operation. No inspection,service or maintenance work should be attempted on thepumps, motors or controls without first turning thedisconnect switch “OFF”. The FTA Controller has thesystem pressure, delay on start and minimum runtimbers located in an electric sequencing control. Referto Instructions: Electronic Sequencing Control,bulletin FTA 461 for these adjustments which is includedin this manual.Check to see that the disconnect switch and Hand-OffAutomatic (H-O-A) switches are “OFF” prior toinstallation. Check inside the controller for bolts, nutsand electrical connections which may have loosened orbeen damaged during shipment.The controller was shipped with dual element fuses orcircuit breakers. Replacement fuses or circuit breakersshould be of the same type, current and voltage rating.Adequately sized wiring, based upon National ElectricCode requirements, is to be connected to the top of thedisconnect switch and between the overload relays andthe individual pump motors.After electronic sequencing control settings arecompleted, the FTA Controller may be placed inmanual or automatic position.MANUAL OPERATION: Controllers are furnished withan individual H-O-A switch for each pump motor. Eitherone or multiple pumps may be run manually by turningtheir individual selector switches to “HAND”. They maybe stopped by turning the switches to “OFF”. Controllersequipped with one of more alarms and shutdown optionsmay be prevented from operating due to the alarmactuation. Refer to the appropriate alarm option for theiroperation and adjustment.AUTOMATIC OPERATION: Automatic operation isaccomplished by turning both H-O-A switches to “AUTO:Equipment operation is determined by the type ofoptions included in the controller. Refer to options 4through 65.1 for description.OPTIONS, GENERAL: Controllers are supplied withoptions which meet pumping systems requirements.START-UP: Energize the incoming power to thecontroller by turning the disconnect switch “ON”.CAUTION: Measure the line voltage at the disconnectswitch and confirm that the voltage readings between allthree line phases are equal and agree with the controllernameplate rated voltage.Turn the disconnect switch “OFF”.Close and secure the enclosure door with the lockingdoor handle. Confirm the selectors switches are “OFF”then turn the disconnect switch handle “ON”.Refer to the pump instruction manual for the properprocedure for checking pump motor rotation. When thatprocedure is complete, motor rotation may be checkedby momentarily turning the individual H-O-A selectorswitches to “HAND”. Motor rotation may be reversed byfirst turning the disconnect switch “OFF”, opening theenclosure door, and reversing two of the three motorleads at the point where they connect to the overloadrelay. Confirm correct rotation by securing the enclosuredoor, turning the disconnect switch “ON” and energizingthe motors using the “HAND” position. When correctmotor rotation has been established, follow the pumpinstruction manual procedure for returning the pumps toan operable condition.REFER TO THE SELECTION DATA SHEET FOROPTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THIS CONTROLLER. Thefunctional description of each option is located by itsnumerical designation. The wiring diagrams furnished forthis controller will provide the proper instructions for fieldinstallation and trouble-shooting of the controller. Also,options supplied are stamped on inside of enclosuredoor.With the incoming power “ON” and pump rotationverified, the controller is ready for initial start-upoperation. Consult the pump installation instructionmanual to see that the pumps and system piping areready for proper operation.2. Motor overload device sizes supplied in magneticstarters are furnished in accordance with the fullload ampere ratings for motors as specified by thecorrect National Electric Code.The control circuit power for sequencing and alarmfunctions is provided by a 120 volt control circuittransformer connected between L1 and L2 on LOADside of disconnect switch. The transformer is sized for4851358NOTES FOR SIMPLEX, DUPLEX AND TRIPLEXCONTROLLERS:1. All controls are furnished in accordance with theNational Electric Code.43. For pump systems where the pump may be run atshutoff, it is recommended that a temperaturecontrolled purge valve be ordered for the pump.Failure to comply with this recommendation will voidequipment warranty.
