Power I/O Board

Membrane Keypad

Transformers
Incoming line voltage is run directly to the I/O
board from the incoming lines. The I/O board
will accept voltage inputs between 100 and
600V.

Door Mount
The membrane keypad is accessible from the
front door of the controller.

Customer Connection Terminals

Connection terminals for external customer
connections, are located at the top of the Power
I/O board.

Product Description
The FD90 LMR Plus Controllers incorporate a
solid state starter which provides a stepless,
smooth current ramp to the motor. This
characteristic eliminates current surges and
mechanical torque transients. A soft stop feature
allows for smooth deceleration of the motor thus
eliminating water hammer throughout the cycle.
The FD90 can be programmed for either fully
automatic or semi-automatic operation.
The use of an embedded web page for
retrieving diagnostics and history reports, along
with USB and Ethernet communication ports for
downloading data, make the LMR Plus Series of
controllers easy to troubleshoot and maintain.
As well, critical information can be easily
accessed and used for report generation and
analysis, which aids in providing effective,
reliable fire protection.

Ethernet Port
An optional Ethernet port can be used for direct
connection to a computer for data transfer.
RS485 Serial Port
An optional RS485 serial port can be provided
for communication to various external software
programs.
USB Port / USB Drive
The logic controller board is equipped with a
USB port that can be used to transfer data to
and from a portable USB Drive device (memory
stick).
Buzzer
A buzzer is mounted on the logic board which
will operate if Fail to Start, Hardware
Malfunction or any Common Alarm condition
exists.

All LMR Plus electric controllers are equipped

with a drain valve solenoid used for weekly test
purposes.

General
When using an external USB Drive, the drive
should conform to the following specifications:
Min: 128mb
Max: 2 Gig FAT16 protocol
USB 1.0 or 2.0

enclosures unless otherwise ordered. Available
options include: NEMA 3R, 4, 4X, 12.

Emergency Start Operator

A mechanically operated
emergency start handle
activates the motor
contactor independent of
any electrical control
circuits or pressure
switch input.

Alarm & Status LEDs

A total of 20, ( 10 Status - 10 Alarm ) LEDs
provide indication on the membrane keypad.

Silence Button
A silence pushbutton on the membrane can be
used to silence the buzzer. When an alarm
condition exists, the alarm buzzer will sound. If
the Silence Alarm button is pressed, the alarm
buzzer will turn off. If a subsequent alarm
condition occurs after the silence button is
pressed, the buzzer will re-sound. Pressing the
Silence Alarm button again, will silence the
buzzer.

Motor Test Button

The motor test button on the membrane can be
used to simulate an automatic start.

Automatic Shutdown Enabled

When the Automatic Shutdown function is
enabled, a Green LED will indicate on the
controller membrane.
