Every Eaton EPCT Fire electric fire pump controller has a catalog number that spells out exactly how it's built: the model, starting method, horsepower, voltage, label language and options. Use this page to decode a catalog number from a spec, a bid submittal or an existing nameplate, or to build one for a quote. Have a catalog number you'd like us to check? Call (786) 336-5783 or send it to us.
Catalog number format
[Model][Starting type] – [Horsepower] – [Voltage] – [Language] – [Options]
For example, FT90-60-D-L1-E5 is a soft start controller with automatic transfer switch (FT90), for a 60 HP motor (60) at 480V/60Hz (D), with English labels (L1), in a NEMA 4X 304 stainless steel enclosure (E5). More than one option code can be added to the end.

Other Eaton catalog number formats
Some Eaton fire pump products use their own catalog number formats. Each is explained on its product page:
- FDM30 medium voltage controllers use medium voltage codes (2,200–6,900V)
- FD140 DPCT Fire diesel controllers use a model, language and options format
- FPATS stand-alone transfer switches
- Jockey pump controllers: XTJP, XTJY and XTJL
