A Fire Fighting Panel is a critical component of a building's fire protection system, designed to control, monitor, and operate fire pumps that ensure a continuous water supply during fire emergencies. It serves as the central control unit for the fire suppression system, integrating with hydrants, sprinklers, and fire alarm systems to enable both automatic and manual activation of pumps. The panel plays a key role in maintaining consistent water pressure and ensuring timely response in the event of a fire.
The system typically includes a jockey pump to maintain normal pressure levels. When a drop in pressure is detected—such as when a hydrant is opened or a sprinkler is activated—the jockey pump starts first. If the pressure continues to fall, the main fire pump automatically starts to supply high-pressure water. In case of a power failure, a diesel-driven pump acts as a backup, ensuring the fire system remains operational. The entire setup continues to function until manually reset once the emergency is under control.
Fire Fighting Panels are used in high-rise buildings, industrial complexes, factories, warehouses, hospitals, malls, airports, and metro stations—anywhere fire safety and compliance with national fire codes are mandatory. At Amtech Power, we offer reliable, code-compliant Fire Fighting Panels built for fail-safe performance, integrated alarm interfacing, and system redundancy to protect life and property in critical situations.
A Fire Fighting Panel is an electrical control panel used to control, monitor, and operate the fire pump system in buildings, industrial plants, or commercial facilities. It forms the core of an automatic fire suppression system and ensures uninterrupted water supply during fire emergencies.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Fire Pump Operation | Automatically or manually start fire pumps during a fire |
| Water Pressure Maintenance | Maintain water pressure in fire hydrant/sprinkler systems |
| Pump Monitoring | Monitor pump status (Running/Stopped/Fault) |
| System Redundancy | Ensure system redundancy and backup operation |
| Alarm Integration | Interface with fire alarm systems for automatic activation |
1. Normal Condition: Jockey pump maintains system pressure.
2. Pressure Drops (e.g., due to a fire hydrant opening):
First, the jockey pump starts to restore pressure.
If pressure keeps dropping, the main fire pump starts automatically.
If electricity fails, the diesel pump starts as a backup.
3. The system continues running until manually reset after the fire is under control.
