1st, record your static pressures at your fire pump suction and discharge, your BFP assembly, jockey pump and fire pump controller pressure.
2nd open the relief valve at the Jockey pump controller leg if applicable, make sure to record the pressure the Jockey pump ENGAGES at.
3rd open the relief valve at fire pump controller, fire pump should automatically engage once there is a significant pressure drop. record pressure fire pump engages at.
4th fire pump run timer sjhould start if new digital, system should engage for 10 mins.
if jockey pump never kicks in , system fail
if fire pump never kicks in, system fail
if system dont engage for 10 mins system fail
if no pressure relief valves installed system fail
