METRON
RECOMMENDED LONG TERM STORAGE
It is recommended that controllers be inspected upon receipt at job or storage facility for any damage that may
have incurred during shipment.
Metron should be notified of any long term storage requirements, so the controllers can be shipped in plywood
crates (completely enclosed). It is recommended that the controller be returned to its crate after inspection,
resealed and stored in an environmentally controlled atmosphere (room temperature) free of moisture, splashing
liquids or dust.
It is also recommended when controllers are to be stored in excess of two (2) months that a moisture inhibitor
(desiccant) be installed in various points within the shipping crate and replaced periodically.
Prior to installation, another visual inspection should be made to insure that moisture or excessive dirt is not
present within the controller.
When installing conduit for wiring, extra care should be taken to insure that metal particles, cut wires, etc. do not
fall into any of the components.
Should a Metron serviceperson be required for repair due to inadequate storage or handling, the customer will
assume all expenses for PARTS, FOOD, LODGING along with STANDARD SERVICE DEPARTMENT
LABOR CHARGES for repair.

Fire Pump Controller
For Diesel Driven Fire Pumps
Series FD4
The Metron Model FD4 controller is designed to specifically

meet the latest NFPA 20 and UL 218 standards for Diesel
Engine Fire Pump Controllers.
This controller implements the latest component and
microprocessor logic technology available. It incorporates
years of experience in the design and manufacture of fire
pump control systems.
The components are installed in a NEMA 2 dust and drip
proof enclosure with optional NEMA 3R, 4, 4X, or 12 ratings
available. The Operator Interface Device (OlD), manual start
pushbuttons, stop push button and Auto-Off-Manual selector
switch are located on the exterior door for easy access. The
battery disconnect switches are located on the main
mounting panel inside the enclosure.
The controller’s logic is based on discrete components using
the latest technology with high quality, highly reliable printed
circuit boards (PCBs) and PCB mounted relays. The
controller uses a microprocessor to control automatic engine
and alternation between batteries during cranking. It also
monitors and records system alarms and pressure, battery
voltage and engine functions. This controller is suitable for
all engine types with either ‘energized to run’ or ‘energize to
stop’ fuel solenoids.
Inside the controller are two independent fully automatic
microprocessor controlled battery chargers rated at 10 Amps
each. The battery chargers operate in such a manner as to
ensure that the engine batteries are fully charged within 24
hours. PCB mounted LED’s are provided for indication of
AC Power On, and Battery Power On.
The controller is supplied with wall mounting brackets as
standard. It may be supplied with optional 24” (609.6 mm)
legs for free standing floor or skid mounting.

High Voltage Controllers

The Metron Series MP600 High Voltage Fire Pump Controllers
are a modular concept system, which utilize “state-of-the-art”
vacuum bottle technology. The primary control element in the
MP600 is a fixed mount style vacuum bottle contactor with
isolating disconnect switch. Integral to the disconnect switch are
“R” rated current limiting cartridge style fuses. Space is provided
for storage of three spare fuses on the rear of the outer door.
Two fused potential/control transformers (PTs) are also
contained within the cabinet. These transformers provide both
input signals to the monitor circuits as well as control power for
the MP600. For testing purposes, it is possible to supply
120VAC power directly to the control section through a built-in
test receptacle and test switch.
The MP600 has both front and rear access. Front access is for
easy access to the control circuits. Rear access is provided for
termination of the incoming power and termination of the motor
connections. Incoming power and motor connections enter
through the bottom of the controller enclosure.
Locked rotor motor protection is provided by the microprocessor
control unit per the requirements of NFPA 20, Chapter 10.
The microprocessor control unit also provides contacts for
remote alarm of phase reversal, low voltage, single phase, loss
of voltage, motor tripped, and motor overload. The Operator
Interface Device (OID) has LED lamps for Power On, Power
Failure, System Failure, Motor Overload, and Motor Tripped. The
OID also displays three phase voltage and current along with
system water pressure.
The standard MP600 is supplied in a NEMA type 2 enclosure
which is fabricated from 12 gauge steel. Minimum floor
clearance of 12 inches (304.8 mm) is provided with allowances
for floor anchoring. The MP600 is protected with two hinged
removable, gasketed doors, equipped with a 3-point latch, one
door for the control section and one door for the high voltage
section. Access to the vacuum contactor is provided by a
lockable and interlocked second door, which requires the
contactor to be disengaged from the bus prior to opening the
door. Control wiring and components are accessible behind their
own access door. Access to control components does not
require motor de-energization.
A solid copper ground bus is provided through the incoming high
voltage and motor termination compartments.

480 volts, 60 Hz. These controllers are used on
reduced voltage installations using a variable
frequency drive to adjust the speed of the pump to
compensate for variations in suction pressure and
system demand to maintain a constant output
pressure from shutoff to full flow of the pump.
Only the highest quality components, all UL listed or

UL recognized, are used throughout to assure the
best possible reliability. The NEMA 12 standard

pump motors from a alternate source of power when the normal source
fails. They may be used with any Metron electric fire pump controller—
Across the Line, Primary Resistance, Part Winding, Wye-Delta, Auto
Transformer or Solid State Reduced Voltage Types. These transfer
switches are an integral part of the fire pump controller. They are factory
assembled, shipped and installed as a part of the controller.
The combination fire pump controller/transfer switch is listed by
Underwriters’ Laboratories’, Factory Mutual, and meets all the latest
requirements of Chapter 10 of NFPA 20 Standard for Installation of
Centrifugal Fire Pumps.
The MTS Automatic Transfer Switch is a mechanically held double throw
switch with a fast acting drive mechanism. Operating coils are
momentarily energized from the source to which the load is being
transferred. The switch is interlocked electrically and mechanically to
prevent both services form feeding the load at the same time. The
transfer switch is capable of manual (non-electrical) operation.
Under voltage sensing devices are supplied which monitor each phase of
normal service. When the voltage of any phase falls below the pre-set
level the transfer switch automatically transfers to the alternate source.
Voltage and frequency sensing devices are provided to monitor one
phase of the alternate source and will inhibit transfer to the alternate
source until adequate voltage and frequency are available.
The transfer switch provides a special circuit that de-energizes the motor
control circuit five (5) second prior to transfer in either direction to prevent
high current transients due to an out-of-phase condition between the
motor and the source to which it is being connected.
A contact is provided to actuate the engine starting circuit when normal
source fails. To prevent false starts, a time delay (factory set at 1/2 to 3
seconds) is provided between normal source failure and actuation of the
engine start contact.
An isolation switch ahead of the alternate source input terminals of the
transfer switch is provided. When the switch is opened, auxiliary contacts
in the generator start circuit prevent starting if commanded to by the
transfer switch. An additional auxiliary contact on the isolation switch is
provided for remote annunciation of isolation switch position.
An adjustable time delay (0-30 min.) prevents restoration to normal
service for a pre-set period of time to assure normal line stabilization.
An auxiliary N.O. contact is provided for remote annunciation of transfer
to emergency. This contact is operated by the transfer mechanism as a
direct indication of switch position.
Pilot lights for indication of Switch in Normal position, Switch in
Emergency position, and Emergency Isolation Switch in Off. Audible
indication of Emergency Isolation Switch in Off is also included.
A test switch is also provided which simulates loss of normal power so
that the transfer switch operation can be checked without interrupting
normal service to the fire pump controller.

Jockey Pump Controllers
The M15 Jockey (or make-up) Pump Controllers
are in the same system as the main fire pump
controller(s). Their purpose is to maintain normal
water pressure and to help prevent unnecessary
cycling of the main fire pump(s).
The M15 series jockey Pump Controllers are
listed to UL 508 Standard for Industrial Controls.
Each controller contains an externally operable
fused disconnect switch with fuses which are
horsepower rated, a motor contactor with
protective overload relay, and a door mounted
hand-off-auto switch all housed in a NEMA 2 drip
proof enclosure. As an option, a circuit breaker is
available in lieu of the fused disconnect
The M15A and M15B Jockey Pump Controllers
include a pressure switch with independent high
and low set points for automatic starting and
stopping. The pressure switch is piped to an
external 1/4 inch NPT connector.
The M15A incorporates a control power
transformer and run period timer.

Additive Pump Controller
Diesel Engine Additive “Foam” Pump Controller


The Metron Model FD4F-J controller is designed to

specifically meet the latest NFPA 20 and UL 218 standards
for Diesel Engine Additive Pump Controllers.
This controller implements the latest component and
microprocessor logic technology available. It incorporates
years of experience in the design and manufacture of fire
pump control systems.
The components are installed in a NEMA 2 dust and drip
proof enclosure with optional NEMA 3R, 4, 4X, or 12 ratings
available. The Operator Interface Device (OlD), manual start
pushbuttons, stop push button and Auto-Off-Manual selector
switch are located on the exterior door for easy access. The
battery disconnect switches are located on the main
mounting panel inside the enclosure. An internal variable has
been added to control the pressure relieving dump valve.
The dump valve contact must be supplied with an external
power source for operation of the valve. The dump valve
contact will close upon the controller receiving a start
command such as a pressure drop or deluge valve signal.
The dump valve will remain open after the engine starts for
approximately 10 seconds.
The controller’s logic is based on discrete components using
the latest technology with high quality, highly reliable printed
circuit boards (PCBs) and PCB mounted relays. The
controller uses a microprocessor to control automatic engine
and alternation between batteries during cranking. It also
monitors and records system alarms and pressure, battery
voltage and engine functions. This controller is suitable for
all engine types with either ‘energized to run’ or ‘energize to
stop’ fuel solenoids.
Inside the controller are two independent fully automatic
microprocessor controlled battery chargers rated at 10 Amps
each. The battery chargers operate in such a manner as to
ensure that the engine batteries are fully charged within 24
hours. PCB mounted LED’s are provided for indication of
AC Power On, and Battery Power On.
The controller is supplied with wall mounting brackets as
standard. It may be supplied with optional 24” (609.6 mm)
legs for free standing floor or skid mounting. Stainless steel
plumbing is provided as standard.
