Start up and Operating Procedure:

1) Ensure that the fire water tank is adequate and to be is filled to the optimum
level always which shall be constantly monitored by the pump room technician
(Head of the water filled should be minimum.
2) Ensure that domestic water tank is integrated with the Fire water tank and
valves in place are operational in case of emergency.
3) Ensure that the main feeding line valve from the fire water tank is always fully in
OPEN position except in case of the maintenance activity in the feeding spool.
4) The gate valve in the piping spool connecting to the jockey pump from the main
feeder manifold pipe should be normally OPEN and ensure that the check valve
in the spool is functional properly. Check if the Tamper Switch backing the
OS&Y is looped to the Fire Bell Alarm.
5) Ensure that the calibration for transducer for the jockey panel is calibrated and
recorded at the pressures of 90Psi to 120Psi.
6) The main firewater supply gate valve inside the Fire pump room should be
normally OPEN except in case of emergency case of maintenance.

7) Ensure that the jockey pump, Electric pump are selective switched to AUTO
Position.
8) The initial operation of the jockey pump should comply with the proper
procedure of priming by removing the air relief valve from the test line.
9) Ensure that installation of all pumps and controls to be per NFPA20, NFPA70,
and NEC Article 695. This also includes with the incoming power service that
will supply the pumps.

10) Onsite voltage compliance prior to energisation of the equipment is verified:

a) Confirm that the equipment ordered is the same voltage present at the site
for pump use.
b) Refer to all nameplates provided on each piece of equipment and verify they
are correct based on the onsite voltage available.

11) Ensure the disconnect switch ahead of the fire pump controller, confirm it is
sized per the requirements of NFPA20, NFPA70, and NEC Article 695.

12) Wiring between the motor and the controller is based on operating voltage of
the equipment. The installation wiring should be as per the Motor nameplate
electrical details. Also Verify the rotation of the pump driver.

(NOTE: ALL PENETRATIONS TO THE CONTROLLERS MUST BE MADE

ON EITHER THE BOTTOM OR SIDE OF THE CONTROLLER. DO NOT
PENETRATE THE TOP. WIRING MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO
STARTUP. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO ENERGIZE EQUIPMENT
PRIOR TO OUR APPROVAL FROM SADARA REPRESENTATIVE.)

13) Ensure that the suction piping arrangement meets NFPA20 standards based on
the type of pump being installed.
A) Which including but not, potential necessary straight run prior to entering
pump
B) eccentric reducer flat side up
C) OS&Y valves only on suction side.
14) Ensure that the pressure relief valve is calibrated and calibration test report is
recorded to ensure the system in operation does not exceed the design pressure
of the system.
15) Ensure that the entire pump assembly base is level, has been securely anchored,
and that the base is grouted sufficiently with non-shrinkable grout.
16) Control panel sensing lines are piped totally independent of each other per
NFPA20 and are located on the discharge piping of the pump it is running
between the discharge check valve and main discharge control valve.
17) The transducer of the electric pump and the jockey pump should be calibrated
to the pressures for the sequential operation of the pump in case of pressure
drop as per the NFPA Standards

Jockey pump – 100-120 psi

Electrical Fire pump I – 90- 120 psi
Electrical Fire pump II – 60-120 psi

(Any Auto-start of the Electrical pumps in the system should be reported to the
SADARA Representative / TAMIMI Maintenance team by the Pump room
operator.)

18) Ensure that pressure on the guage is zero calibrated and matching with the
control panel the main fire line valve while draining the air inside the system.

19) Ensure that as in the Existing system all the three Fire Pumps ; Jockey ,
Electric Fire pump-1 (Normal Electrical supply) and Electric Fire pump- 2 is
connected to the Emergency Power supply through the Diesel Generator.

20) Ensure that all the pressure gauges installed near to the pump are calibrated
and records of the calibration certificates are established for re-calibration.

21) Check for any ALARM condition on the Electrical Fire pump panel and
proceed with the necessary action to perform the operation.
i) Voltage Minimum Alarm – ENABLED
ii) Voltage Maximum Alarm - ENABLED
iii) Frequency Minimum – ENABLED
iv) Frequency Maximum – ENABLED.
v) Imbalance – ENABLED.
vi) Overload – ENABLED.

22) Return Flow test have to be performed in the Fire fighting loop inside the
pump room to check if there all the Piping connection and fitting are void
leakage, and the Control panel controller is working properly.

23) Ensure that the interlock jumper is removed for the controller to operate
automatically when the complete setup and startup procedure is performed.

24) Ensure that the fire header loop should be Drain up level of Pressure Gauge
upto 5 psi. And ensure that all the air lock inside the system before at the pump
room piping loop before supply water to the fire hydrant system and fire
sprinkler system.

25) Perform the Hydrant loop test by Flushing the system in a proper Flushing
sequence with pumping in Pressure through Jockey pump , and disconnecting
the Electric Fire pumps on OFF mode from the Selector switch. Flushing the
system removes the air gaps in the UG fire line loop for Fire Hydrants. Ensure
that all the PIV are in CLOSED position for performing Flushing of the Fire
Hydrant Line.
