Firetrol® combined automatic and manual MarkIII+ based diesel engine fire pump controllers are intended for starting and monitoring fire pump diesel engines.
Firetrol® combined automatic and manual MarkIII+ based diesel engine fire pump controllers are intended for starting and monitoring fire pump diesel engines. They are suitable for use with both mechanical and electronic type engines. The controller is available for 12 or 24 volt negative ground systems, using lead acid or Nickel-Cadmium batteries. The controller monitors, displays and records fire pump system information.
Firetrol, was founded in the early 1970’s and incorporated in Erie, Pennsylvania by an entrepreneur who saw an opportunity in a unique marketplace; the fire pump control industry. The business grew steadily between 1971 and 1980 as the company developed the first fire pump controller with molded case circuit breakers which drastically reduced their size, the first manual wound rotor controller for the New York City high-rise marketplace, the first medium voltage controller, and the first UL Listed controller with an automatic power transfer switch.
