The FPASM WeatherTrace with the Sentinel System continually monitors the supply voltage to each individual heat trace circuit. Loss of voltage or a ground fault condition will trigger an automatic alarm condition, alerting plant personnel of critical process problems and reducing downtime. An annunciator panel then identifies the faulted zone and a Common Alarm is activated with the re-ring feature.*

* The re-ring feature allows the WeatherTrace panel to communicate additional alarm conditions in the system by momentarily clearing and resetting the alarm output contact. The customer’s monitoring device such as a PLC or DCS would interpret this condition to alert the operators of an additional alarm occurring.

The FPASM series controls multiple heat trace circuits via an ambient sensing external thermostat, external electronic controller or via an ambient sensing, door-mounted 1601E controller. Chromalox recommended controllers include: RTAS, RTAS-EP, B100, E100 or the 1601E microprocessor controller.

Operating Modes

  • Automatically with the external controller or
  • in manual override via the Hand/Off/Auto selector switch.
