** It is advisable that the Installation and Operating Manual remains with the
product for the duration of the product lifecycle.
The Grundfos FireSAFE supplies water, usually from a storage tank, via a riser system within
the building to a series of sprinkler heads. When the air temperature around a sprinkler head
reaches a predetermined level, the glass bulb bursts, leading to a loss of system pressure and a
flow of water through the sprinkler head. Only sprinkler heads affected directly by the heat
source will operate.
This loss of pressure is detected by the Grundfos FireSAFE unit, via an internal pressure switch,
activating the pump.
6.0 Key Product Components
6.1 Pump
From the Grundfos high quality CR centrifugal horizontal multi stage range.
Further details on the FireSAFE Data sheet
6.2 Pressure gauge
Providing visual indication of the system pressure and for fine tuning the pressure switch
setting. Depending on pump size the Range of the Gauge is 0 - 10 bar or 0 –16 bar.
6.3 Pressure switches (Primary and Secondary)
The FireSAFE unit operates directly from an integrated pressure switch. This pressure switch is
adjusted to meet the site specific requirements. See the section 9.1 regarding Pressure switch
setting. A secondary back up pressure switch is provided in case of failure of the primary
pressure switch. This activates at a factory set value of 1 Bar.
6.4 Non-return valve
Included within the product to maintain the system pressure.
6.5 Flow Switch
Included within the product and is used to indicate the presence of a fire and give an alarm as
the only device allowable under BS9251:2014. The flow switch provided incorporates an
adjustable delay option. This should be optimised to the site conditions to prevent activating
the Fire Alarm unnecessarily
6.6 BS 9251:2014 test line connection
The FireSAFE unit includes a 1” Test line with lockable ball valve. The FireSAFE CR only includes
provisions (1” blanked BSP port) for this test line. This facilitates the annual system test to be
performed according to BS 9251:2014.
Care should be taken when connecting onto this port, to minimize risk of water spillage and
associated issues this may have with any nearby electrical equipment. The unit should be fully
isolated before using this port.
NOTE

6.7 Controller
The Controller has been specifically designed by Grundfos to conform with BS 9251:2014,
integrate key system signals, monitor condition and to operate automatically.
The following are features of the FireSAFE controller:
Modes of operation:
oPressure maintenance
oFire
oService
Integration of digital signals:
oLow water level
oFlow switch
Mains power monitoring / Controller internal fuse monitoring
Semi-automatic learning of the pump condition
Automatic weekly pump health test, including:
oPump fault monitoring
oPump health monitoring
Manual pump health test
Setting of the Automatic weekly pump test time
Annual service reminder (12 months from system verification)
Excessive pump operation / Leak detection (> 10 operations in a 7 day period)
7.0 Description of Functions
7.1 Modes of operation
The FireSAFE unit can operate in one of three modes:
Mode 1 –System Pressure Maintenance (or “Jockey Pump”)
Mode 2 –Fire
Mode 3 –Service
Mode 1 –System pressure maintenance (or Jockey Pump) mode
If the system pressure decays enough to activate the integral primary pressure switch, the
FireSAFE unit will run the pump for 20 seconds. This will be sufficient to re-pressurise the
system.
The maximum number of maintenance cycles within a 7 day period before the system registers
this as a fault is ten. This excludes the automatic weekly pump self-tests.
On exceeding this the Fault LED on the Control panel and Fault Digital output (D01) are
activated requiring attendance to reset.

www.grundfos.co.uk Page 9 of 40
Mode 2 –Fire mode (or Main pump/Duty pump).
If the system pressure decays enough again within the next 20 seconds following the system
pressure maintenance mode de-activation the FireSAFE unit will immediately switch to Fire
mode and run the pump continuously until stopped by the return of the system set point
pressure and the pressing of the Test/Reset button on the control panel.
Instructions for setting and adjusting the Pressure Switches can be found in section Pressure
switches setting, section 9.1, along with the factory pressure settings of the FireSAFE.
Mode 3 - Service mode
The FireSAFE unit has a Service mode, the functions include:
Fault status reset
Service status reset
Pump run counter reset (>10 operations in 1 week period)
Pump calibration
To access the service mode follow the below procedure
When in service mode, the ALARM!, SERVICE and FAULT lights will illuminate.
When in service mode the following activities can be undertaken:
Pressing the test button for 1 second will reset all Fault and Service requests and return
to the normal operation.
Pressing and holding the test button for >10 seconds will start the pump condition
learning and return to the normal operation. This will also reset all Faults and Service
requests and return to the normal operation.

7.2 Integration of digital signals (Low water level switch and Fire alarm device)
The FireSAFE unit has been specifically designed with the ability to power and relay digital
signals. The signals could be from any source but Grundfos suggest the following important
signals are used:
Digital input/output (DI2/D02) –Tank low water level switch device, to give a warning once
the water storage capacity has been reduced below the low level mark. The signal needs to be
present for more than sixty seconds before the controller activates the output.
Digital input/output (DI3/D03)–Water flow switch device, the only device allowable under
BS9251:2014 to indicate the presence of a fire and to give an alarm. Water flow switches
normally incorporates an adjustable delay option. This should be optimised to the site
conditions to prevent activating the Fire Alarm unnecessarily.
Consult the documentation supplied with your device.
The digital inputs are “wetted” with a 24 V DC voltage which can be applied to the digital
switching devices. Upon the changeover of the switch condition the digital inputs are relayed to
the volt free digital outputs for integration with an Alarm Control panel, Siren or other device.
The “wetted” inputs supplied by the FireSAFE unit remove the need to supply the signalling
device with power from another source. The inputs are optically coupled to the outputs and
hence voltage/current isolated between each other.
Neither Digital input inhibits the FireSAFE system from operating.
Further details in Electrical Installation section
7.3 Mains power monitoring / Controller internal fuse monitoring
On the application of mains electrical power the Power LED on the controller front panel
illuminates and the Fault relay (D01) to moves to its healthy position.
Upon failure of the mains power or the controllers internal fuse the LED extinguishes, the Fault
relay moves to its unhealthy positon and after more than 2 hours without power the internal
buzzer activates for 1 second every 30 minutes. This will continue until the Test/Reset button
is pressed. Buzzer becomes active again at next weekly test.
7.4 Semi-automatic learning of the pump condition
The FireSAFE controller is factory set to the pump full load current (FLC), and it can be reset in
the field following a change to the pump. Follow the service mode instructions in section 7.1.
This should be done against a closed valve system pressurised condition.

www.grundfos.co.uk Page 11 of 40
7.5 Automatic weekly pump health test.
As a preventative measure to counter pump/shaft seal seizure and to check the operational
state and health of the pump the controller performs a weekly test of the pump for a period of
approximately 10 seconds. The controller measures the full load current (FLC) the pump draws
performing two checks against hardwired values and two checks against learned FLC current
values of the pump. Test details below:
Measured current test
Testing for
Upon failure
1) Measured Current is > 1 Amp

If the measured FLC fails checks 1) or 2) then the system has failed and requires immediate
attention. The Fault relay and LED are activated.
If the measured FLC fails checks 3) or 4) then the pump requires replacing or servicing, the
Service relay and LED are activated.
The time of day that the self-test is performed can be programmed at the Commissioning
stage and Re-set by the user at any time. (See the Commissioning checklist)
7.6 Manual pump health test
The Pump health can be manually tested by pressing the Test/Reset button until the pump
runs. The test is the same as the Automatic weekly pump self-test.
Press and hold the Test
button for >2 seconds Pump runs

www.grundfos.co.uk Page 12 of 40
7.7 Setting of the Automatic weekly test time
The time of day that the self-test is performed can be programmed by pressing the Test/Reset
button for more than 5 seconds and releasing after the buzzer beeps.
This should be done at Commissioning stage and can be re-set by the user at any time.
This will reset the weekly test time to the same time every week.
7.8 Annual service reminder (12 months from system verification)
At the end of every twelve month period the Service LED is activated to remind the user that
the unit is due its yearly service and BS 9251:2014 Annual test. Refer to the servicing and
annual test checklist.
7.9 Excessive pump operation / Leak detection (> 10 operations in a 7 day period)
If the pump is activated more than ten times in any 7 day period the system is deemed to have
a leak and hence maintenance is required. The Fault Digital output and Fault LED are activated.
This can be reset after it has been attended to by following the service mode instructions in
section 7.1. This should be done against a closed valve system pressurised condition.

immediately into a dust, moisture and frost-free area which has been secured to prevent
unauthorised interference. If this is not possible then the unit should be stored in an area
which is as near as possible to the ideal storage conditions as described above.

www.grundfos.co.uk Page 14 of 40
8.5 Frost Protection
The FireSAFE unit must be protected from freezing conditions. If the FireSAFE unit is
being stored during periods of frost the whole unit should be drained to avoid damage.
Remove all drain and vent plugs and allow the pump to drain. Do not replace the plugs until
the FireSAFE set is to be used again.
The pump must be vented/primed before it is started again.
See section 5 for priming screw location.
Loosen but do not remove the priming screw until water flows from the hole.
8.6 Operating Enviroment
The FireSAFE unit must not be used in an environment which has been classified as
hazardous where it could provide a source of ignition and therefore cause an explosion by
flame path.
Grundfos do not accept any responsibility for the use of FireSAFE unit to pump liquids which
could be construed as being hazardous to health either by touch, ingestion or inhalation of
fumes or gases given off by the liquid.
8.7 Installation Location
Careful consideration must be given to the location of the FireSAFE unit.
The following are minimum requirements:
The FireSAFE unit should ideally be placed in a location where the Control panel LEDs can
readily be seen and the internal buzzer heard without obstruction.
These are primary warning and alarm events and should be available to be observed and
heard. Additional system provision for alerting the inhabitants to the FireSAFE warnings/alarm
must also be made.
The FireSAFE also needs to be protected against the extremes of temperature during a
Fire and during the winter. Provision to maintain the FireSAFE’s operating conditions needs to
be made within the overall system design.
The FireSAFE unit should be sited in a dry, well ventilated, and frost-free position, where
it will not be subjected to extremes of temperature.
The FireSAFE may be located outdoors in a weather, frost and rodent proof enclosure
with adequate ventilation especially during hot weather. All pipe work subject to freezing
conditions must be adequately protected. Alternative system provision must be made for
alerting the inhabitants to the FireSAFE warnings and alarms.
To enable maintenance and service of the FireSAFE unit to be carried out satisfactorily,
the area should have adequate lighting for this work to be carried out safely.

www.grundfos.co.uk Page 15 of 40
Ensure that the FireSAFE is positioned to allow access for examination and service. A
minimum of 75cm should be left all around the FireSAFE unit.
Adequate drainage facilities and protection from water damage in the immediate vicinity of
the FireSAFE unit must be provided.
The FireSAFE unit must not be installed into roof spaces, the small level of vibration
associated with any rotating equipment will cause disturbance, and considerable
water damage could result if a leak occurs. Please provide drainage facilities for the unit in
case of leakage or loss of water during commissioning and service.
The FireSAFE unit should not be installed in an unventilated small space, ensure
adequate ventilation for the motor.
8.8 Breaktanks and Mains water connection
In some situations, and with the permission of the Water Utility company, it may be
possible to connect the FireSAFE unit directly to the town water mains. A dedicated
suction pipe will be required, the diameter of which should match the pump suction as an
absolute minimum.
In situations where the town mains supply cannot be utilised directly it will be necessary to
install a water storage tank (break tank) between the incoming mains water supply and the
FireSAFE unit, it must however have a type AB Air Gap, supplied and installed in accordance
with the Water Byelaws Regulations. Grundfos can offer a suitable break tank.
Check that the water storage tank has adequate capacity to meet/exceed the demand.
8.9 Installation General Requirements
The suction and discharge pipework must be at least the same size as the FireSAFE
suction and discharge ports, as a smaller size may result in reduced pump performance
or increased system resistance leading to a reduced flow. This may also cause damage to
the pump.
The installation suction and discharge pipework may need to be properly supported
before being connected to the FireSAFE unit so that the FireSAFE unit is not stressed.
The pipework installation to and from the FireSAFE unit should be in accordance with
local water authority regulations, best industry practice and according to the design
recommendations in BS 9251 latest revision.
The electrical installation of the FireSAFE unit should be in accordance with the latest
