GOVERNORS and ENGINE THROTTLES OVERVIEW
Fire Research Corporation manufactures several pressure governors,generator governors, and remote throttles with multiple combinations of displays for use where remote engine control and monitoring is needed.
TotalControl -
Fire Research remains committed to designing quality, state-of-art products for the fire and emergency service industry. This is evident with the release of our newest pressure governor system the Total Control. The Total Control is a complete pressure governor, engine monitor and master pressure display all built into a single panel mount display.Designed and built with the highest quality, the FRC Total Control is also the most competitively priced complete governor system available today to the fire industry.
PumpBoss -
The PumpBoss pressure governor combines full engine status displays
including check and stop engine indicators, RPM, oil pressure, temperature, and battery voltage
while providing control in both pressure and RPM modes of operation.
The PumpBoss 200 series retains the configuration of the original PumpBoss with the use
of a single 300 PSI pressure sensor for monitoring and maintaining discharge pump pressure.
The PumpBoss 400 series uses two 600 PSI pressure sensors; one for pump discharge and one
for pump intake to provide improved defense against pump cavitations.
The InControl 300 series uses push buttons to adjust pressure and RPM settings.
The InControl 400 series uses the FRC hand throttle style control knob to adjust pressure and RPM settings.
The two new INControl pressure governors use the J1939 CAN bus for engine information and control.
ThrottleXcel -
The ThrottleXcel integrates a next generation remote engine throttle with a display and monitoring system.
It combines a built-in Infinity remote hand throttle, large RPM display, color coded LED displays for engine oil, engine coolant temperature, transmission temperature, and battery voltage, and provides audible and visual warnings in real time. RPM adjustments are made by turning the large control knob.
UPDATED!
INFINITY -
The Infinity remote engine throttle uses optical technology with a two channel infrared encoder
to determine the position and direction of movement of the throttle control knob.
The heavy-duty throttle control knob has no mechanical components to wear out and is easy to operate with a gloved hand.
The Infinity is the next generation of remote engine throttles.
PRO-S -
The PRO pressure governor was introduced to the Fire Service in 1994,
it has earned praise for its ease of use and performance with multiple engine types.
The improved PRO-S pressure governor uses state of the art programmable microprocessor technology
that offers added safety features and availability for more engine types.
FROG -
This FROG (Frequency Regulation of Generator) governor will regulate the output frequency of PTO driven generators.
It provides a constant display of generator frequency (hertz), voltage (volts), and the current flow (amps) on two lines.
It has a built-in generator hour meter, over speed protection, and internal safety interlock.
RTU -
The RTU engine governor provides a slick interface for remote regulation of engine speed.
The push button controls and digital display make it simple to operate.
