Single Point General Purpose Heat Trace Controller
The GPT 130 Heat–Trace Control is a single–point microprocessor–based heat–trace control thermostat. It is ideal for applications which require Ground–Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP). Ideal uses include freeze protection, hot water temperature maintenance, grease line trace, tank heating, and other temperature monitoring and control applications.
The GPT 130 comes with a 100K ohm thermistor temperature sensor with a 20 ft. jacketed cable. The included sensor has an operating range of −40°F to 230°F (−40°C to 110°C). The GPT 130 can also use 2–, 3–, or 4–wire RTD sensors for systems requiring high–temperature sensing.
Description
The GPT 130 Heat–Trace Control is a single–point microprocessor–based heat–trace control thermostat. It is ideal for applications which require Ground–Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP). Ideal uses include freeze protection, hot water temperature maintenance, grease line trace, tank heating, and other temperature monitoring and control applications.
The GPT 130 Heat–Trace Control operates from the heater’s power source. A universal power supply allows the GPT 130 to operate from 100 V ac to 277 V ac, and control a resistive load up to 30 A.
Adjustable Temperature Setpoint and Alarms
The temperature setpoint is adjustable from −99.9°F to 999°F (−73.3°C to 537.7°C) to a tenth degree resolution.
Sensor Inputs
The GPT 130 comes with a 100K ohm thermistor temperature sensor with a 20 ft. jacketed cable. The included sensor has an operating range of −40°F to 230°F (−40°C to 110°C). The GPT 130 can also use 2–, 3–, or 4–wire RTD sensors for systems requiring high–temperature sensing.
Precision Monitoring and Control
The GPT 130 monitors temperature, load current, and ground leakage current. Alarms include high temperature, low temperature, high load current, low load current, ground fault, sensor fault, internal fault, and power fail. These alarms are easy to adjust and observe from the front panel. The GPT 130 can be set to energize or de-energize the heaters during a sensor fault.
Ground–Fault Equipment Protection
The GPT 130 Heat–Trace Control includes integral GFEP. This eliminates the extra expenses associated with having to provide separate GFEP components in the circuit panel. The GPT 130 normally disconnects power immediately when ground fault current exceeds the set value. If it is set to Fire Protect mode, for critical fire protection systems, then it will generate the alarm but power will be maintained to prevent freezing.
Automatic GFEP Circuit Self–Test
To ensure continued safe operation, the GPT 130 performs a self–test of the GFEP circuit when power is first applied, along with a load ground fault test, and this repeats periodically thereafter at an adjustable interval.
