Fire Pump Monitoring System — Titan Compliance
Automate What Your Logbook Can't.
DIN rail fire pump monitoring system combining energy metering, pressure sensing, and flow measurement. Auto-logs pump tests, flags missed tests, surfaces pressure-loss leaks via jockey-pump cycling, and produces inspector-ready PDF reports.

What a Fire Pump Monitoring System Does
Three things every BMC, fire-protection contractor, and high-rise facility manager needs from fire-pump telemetry — none of them handled by the pump control panel alone.
Automated Test Logging
The energy meter detects when the fire pump runs, logs duration, electrical parameters, and pump-side flow rate captured by the integrated flow meter. No stopwatch and no logbook entries.
Missed Test Warnings
If a scheduled weekly or monthly test is not detected within its window, Titan Compliance sends an email warning to the facility manager and compliance officer.
Pressure-Loss & Cycling Alerts
Pressure sensors track sustained system pressure. Abnormal jockey-pump cycling frequency is the earliest indicator of a sprinkler-system leak — Titan Compliance flags it before the inspector does.
The Problem
Fire pump compliance is currently manual. A technician runs the pump, writes the result in a logbook, and someone compiles a report for the fire inspector. Pumps that develop faults between tests go undetected. Missed tests create compliance gaps that surface only at the next NOC renewal. Handwritten logs are inconsistent. And nobody tracks whether the jockey pump is cycling too often — the earliest sign of a sprinkler-system leak.
Titan Compliance does not replace the testing — it ensures every test is recorded properly, every missed test is flagged, and every pressure-loss anomaly is caught.
NFPA 25 & Indian Standards — IS 15301, IS 12469, NBC 2016
Fire-pump monitoring sits at the intersection of NFPA 25 (the international ITM standard) and the Indian regulatory framework (IS 15301 + IS 12469 + NBC 2016 Part 4). Titan Compliance is designed to produce evidence accepted by inspectors and auditors working under any of these.
International
NFPA 25 — Inspection, Testing & Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection
- Weekly no-flow churn test for diesel-driven pumps; monthly for electric-driven.
- Annual flow test at minimum, rated, and peak load — performance verified against pump curve.
- Records of every test, including duration, suction & discharge pressure, flow, and any abnormalities.
India
IS 15301, IS 12469 & NBC 2016 Part 4
- IS 12469 — specification for centrifugal pumps for fire-fighting service.
- IS 15301 — Code of Practice for installation and maintenance, including periodic testing intervals.
- NBC 2016 Part 4 — fire-pump-room requirements, minimum 3.5 kg/cm² at the remotest point, ongoing monitoring.
How It Works
Install Titan Compliance on the fire pump's electrical supply with pressure transducers on the system manifold and an inline flow meter on the pump discharge. From there it monitors continuously and detects every pump run automatically.

What It Measures
Three sensor inputs map directly to the evidence that NFPA 25 and IS 15301 require. Nothing more is claimed than these inputs can actually deliver.
Energy Meter
Pump-run detection & logging
Auto-detects pump starts from the electrical signature, records duration, kWh, voltage, current, power factor, and power-cycle events. Distinguishes scheduled tests from emergency runs by run-pattern context.
Pressure Sensors
System health & leakage signal
Continuous suction- and discharge-side pressure history. Used to verify system pressure pre/post test, count jockey-pump cycles, and flag cycling-rate drift that signals a leak in the suppression network.
Flow Meter
Annual flow-test verification
Records flow rate during each test. The annual NFPA 25 flow test compares measured discharge against the rated pump curve at minimum, rated, and peak load — Titan Compliance produces the data table the inspector needs.

How Titan Compliance Compares
The four ways buildings handle fire-pump compliance today — and where each one fails the inspector or the insurer.
| Capability | Titan Compliance | Manual Logbook | Pressure Switch Only | Generic BMS Module |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-detects pump runs | Yes — electrical signature | No — technician must record | No — only senses pressure | Sometimes — depends on integration |
| Logs duration + electrical params | Yes — every run | Manual entry, error-prone | No | Partial — needs add-on metering |
| Annual flow-test data capture | Yes — built-in flow meter | Manual gauge reading | No | Rarely included |
| Missed-test alerts | Email + dashboard | No — found at NOC renewal | No | Configurable, often unset |
| Jockey-pump cycling drift alarm | Continuous, with baseline | No | Counts cycles only, no leak signal | No |
| Inspector-ready PDF | Auto-generated per test | Hand-compiled before inspection | Not applicable | Custom reporting build required |
| NFPA 25 + IS 15301 alignment | Designed against both | Depends on technician | Not in scope | Generic — not fire-pump-specific |
| Integration with BMS / SCADA | Modbus RTU/TCP, RS485, MQTT | None | Dry contact only | Yes (its native role) |
| Time-to-deploy | Hours — DIN rail retrofit | Already in place | Hours — but no records | Weeks — engineering project |
Who It's For
Two groups deploy fire-pump monitoring most often.
Building Management Companies
Automated compliance documentation across your portfolio. Inspector-ready PDF reports generated each time a test is performed — no more chasing logbooks.
Fire Protection Contractors
Offer continuous monitoring as a service. Get alerted to missed tests and pressure-system leaks before the next inspection — not during it.
Energy Intelligence Platform
Titan Compliance pairs with the Energy Intelligence Platform for automated test logging, missed-test alerts, jockey-pump cycling detection, and inspector-ready PDF generation. Every fire-pump event is recorded, every missed test is flagged, and every report is generated and delivered automatically. Modbus RTU/TCP integration is also available for sites that prefer to land the data directly in an existing BMS or SCADA.
