Pump Boss 400 Pressure Governor
Overview
• To control pump operations the 2013
Rosenbauer Rear Mount Pumpers are
equipped with a Pump Boss 400 pressure
governor.
• The Pump Boss 400 pressure governor
operates in one of two modes; pressure or
RPM.
• It maintains a steady pump discharge
pressure within system capabilities by
controlling the engine speed or holds a
selected engine RPM.
Features
• Automatic regulation of pump discharge
pressure
• Large Control Knob - Easy to operate with a
gloved hand
• Dual 600 PSI discharge and intake mounted
pressure sensors
• Programmable preset settings
• Always starts in Pressure Mode at Idle RPM
• Displays and LEDs automatically adjusted for
day or night operation
Features
• Limits increase of pressure when in RPM Mode
• Recognition of No Water Condition with automatic
response
• No pressure or RPM variation when changing
modes
• Red IDLE Button - Brings the engine to idle RPM
quickly
• Manual control of pressure or engine RPM settings
• Retains warning alerts history
• Audible alarm buzzer

How does it work?
• In Pressure Mode, the governor maintains a constant
pump discharge pressure. The discharge pressure is
monitored and compared to the selected pressure
setting, the engine RPM is varied to keep the discharge
pressure at the selected setting.
• In RPM mode the governor maintains a constant engine
RPM. The pump discharge pressure is monitored, it can
vary but is limited to an increase of 30 PSI. If the
discharge pressure increases 30 PSI, the pressure
governor automatically lowers the engine RPM to reduce
the discharge pressure.
Henderson Fire Department Presets
• The preset button on the Pump Boss has
been preprogrammed by our department
to 145 PSI to aid in quick setup for
standard 200’ 1.75” hose speedlay
deployment.
