Lovato FFL800EP Electric Fire Pump Controller
Description
Controller for electric-motor-driven fire pumps to EN 12845
The FFL800EP is a electric motor fire pump controller from Lovato Electric, built to the requirements of EN 12845 according to the catalogue. Auxiliary supply is 24VAC/110-240VAC (operating range 19.2-28.8VAC / 90-264VAC), and it has 8 digital inputs and 9 relay outputs for start commands, alarms and status.
The electric version monitors the mains supply and the motor starter, handles start and stop sequences and reports alarms such as supply failure, so a main fire pump can be started automatically from pressure switch signals.

Selecting the controller
A fire pump controller is part of a regulated installation. Confirm with the project specification and the authority having jurisdiction that the controller version, the supply voltages and the alarm outputs meet the requirement before you order.
FFL700 is the non-expandable version; FFL800 adds EXP expansion modules. Choose by the number of inputs and outputs the panel needs.
Applications and installation
The unit is built for pump-room panels and uses removable screw terminals; remote alarm panels (FFLRA series) can be added for a second location.
For panel design and commissioning, the practical figures to keep at hand are: digital input type Negative; digital input current ≤6 mA; digital input signal delay ≥50 ms; static output type NO; operating voltage 10-30VDC; maximum current 50mA; interface type Isolated RS485 serial interface; baud rate 1200-115200 bps; insulation voltage (RS485-Vbatt) 1kVDC; execution Flush-mount; material Polycarbonate; degree of protection IP65 Frontal; IP20 on terminals; dimensions (W x H x D) 240 x 180 x 43.9 mm; weight 980 g. These come straight from the datasheet and are repeated here so that the key installation limits are visible without opening the PDF.

Lovato order codes describe the product. On a contactor such as BF0910A230, "BF09" is the frame and rated current (9 A in AC-3), "10" is the built-in auxiliary contact (one normally open), "A" means an AC coil and "230" is the coil voltage. The coil voltage must match the control circuit exactly, so it is the most common detail to check when replacing one. For motors, a soft starter limits the inrush current at start and stop, while a variable speed drive controls the speed continuously and saves energy on pumps and fans that do not need full flow all the time.
Where Lovato products are used
In Oman and the GCC, Lovato components are built into motor control centres, pump and HVAC panels, capacitor banks for power factor correction, generator and ATS panels, and machine control panels for industry, water and buildings.
Ordering Lovato products: what we need
Send the full Lovato order code. For contactors and starters, confirm the coil or control voltage. For drives and soft starters, send the motor power, current and supply voltage. For power factor controllers, send the number of steps and the CT ratio.
