A self-regulating fire pump unit which can be controlled to operate under required conditions for sourcing a fire protection system such as sprinklers. The fire pump unit can be operated in accordance with a control curve based on detected pressure and flow. The control curve can include: a) a first setpoint of rated total value of the system load for the pressure and the flow, b) a second setpoint of a minimum partial percentage of the rated total value of the pressure at an over-percentage of the rated total value of the flow, c) a path which maintains the rated total value of the pressure for all values of the flow up to the first setpoint, d) a path between the first setpoint and the second setpoint, e) a path from the second setpoint which limits values of the pressure for values of the flow greater than the second setpoint.

Example devices, systems, and methods disclosed herein relate to a controller configured to control pressure maintenance in a fire protection system. A controller may be configured to control a fire pump to provide a first level of water pressure and to control operation of a jockey pump that is coupled in parallel with the fire pump to provide a second level of water pressure that is less than the first level. The controller is further configured to receive, from a pressure sensor coupled to the fire protection system, an output representative of the water pressure. The controller is configured to provide instructions to initiate the jockey pump based on a pressure value associated with the output being below a first value, and to provide instructions to initiate the fire pump based on the pressure value being below a second value that is less than the first value.

In an operating method for an emergency vehicle, especially a fire truck, having a vehicle body, a drive unit having a drive motor and a motor controller, front-wheel and rear-wheel pairs, an emergency aggregate, a signaling device, an illuminating device, and a mode-of-operation controller having a mode-of-operation selector switch having selectable operation modes and a memory with saved operating-data sets, by a sequence controller of the mode-of-operation controller, selecting a first operation mode corresponding to an emergency trip transmits from the memory to the target systems, and activates, first operating-data data sets. Selecting a second operation mode corresponding to an emergency mode deactivates the transmitted first operation mode operating-data sets, and transmits from the memory to the target systems, and activates, second operating-data sets. Selecting a third operation mode corresponding to a standard operation mode deactivates the transmitted data sets of the first, second or any further operation modes.

Fire suppression systems (10) for vehicles and industrial applications including arrangements of an input bus (24) and output bus (26) coupled to a centralized controller (20) to provide for automatic and manual detection of a fire (H) and manual and automatic system actuation in response to the fire. The arrangements further provide for system information regarding the status and operation of the system components. Additionally, the arrangement of system components provide for expandability and programmability to configure the system for the protection of multiple and variable hazards (H) using customized or programmed detection and/or actuation. The systems include configured connectors (25) and colour coded schemes to facilitate system installation.
