The Pump Control Unit - PCU is an integrated electronic management system used for the pump of a firefighting vehicle with an integrated water tank level gauge. It can also be used to control other vehicle systems such as valves, lighting, warning lights, etc.

The main function of PCU is Pressure Governor which allows automated regulation of the engine RPMs according to the pressure fluctuations in the pump, which ensures a constant water flow at the nozzle regardless of thte number of connected users.

The automatic pressure regulation is turned ON by turning the rotation switch - encoder. This will cause the pressure to increase to 4 bars. The pressure can subsequently be adjusted to the desired value using the encoder in 1 bar increments. The value on the LED display flashes until the pump pressure reaches the desired value. If the manual keys for manual control of the RPMs (pressure) are used while the automatic regulation is running, the automatic regulation will be turned off. When pressing the IDLE key, the control unit sets the engine RPMs to IDLE.

The Master Control Unit - MCU is divided into a few functioning sets: PUMP ENGAGEMENT (PTO), PROGRAMMABLE and ILLUMINATED KEYS, INFO DISPLAY AND WARNING LIGHTS, RPM MANAGING SET, WATER AND FOAM TANK LEVEL GAUGE and DIGITAL PRESSURE INDICATORS.

The MCU has available 14 factory-programmable keys that can act as switches or push buttons. Keys can be assigned different color-coded symbols such as pictograms or colors.

The MCU can power up to 29 digital outputs (MOSFET), which are individually protected by a thermal reversible fuse (0,7 A) and 4 relay outputs (1 A). There are also available eight conditional inputs, protected with optocouplers which may be connected to the positive or negative voltage.

The Pressure Governor allows automated regulation of the engine RPMs according to the pressure fluctuations in the pump, which ensures a constant water flow at the nozzle regardless of the number of connected users.

The automatic pressure regulation is turned ON by turning the rotation switch - encoder . This will cause the pressure to increase to 4 bars. The pressure can subsequently be adjusted to the desired value using the encoder in 1 bar increments. If the manual keys for manual control of the RPMs (pressure) are used while the automatic regulation is running, the automatic regulation will be turned off. The pressure can then be increased and decreased manually or set to automatic again by turning the encoder.

Tank Level Gauge - TLG08 is designed to display a liquid’s volume at an accuracy level of 1/8 of the tank using 9 ultra-bright LEDs. For example, when the tank level is below 1/4 the LED at 1/8 is flashing, when the tank level is below 1/8 the red LED at 0 turns on. As an additional option an external device (such as buzzer or siren) can be controlled by a relay output pin on the indicator unit.

The indicator is able to communicate with the other displays (Remote Indicators) via the one wire datalink. The unit uses a 0-600mbar (0-8.7PSI) temperature-compensated pressure transducer to obtain tank level information. The transducer measures the coloumn of the liquid in the tank above the opening of the elbow and provides a signal that is proportional to the volume.
