Control and Monitoring for the Commercial Construction Industry FWT-3
Objectives • Familiarize you with the options for controlling electrical heat-tracing systems • Familiarize you with the different methods of monitoring electrical heat-tracing systems • Provide an overview of TTC’s products for control and monitoring
Summary XL-TraceFreeze protection Self-Regulating, Ambient & Line Sensing Thermostats, DigiTrace 910 ElectroMelt, IceStopSnow and Ice Melting Manual, Ambient Thermostat, Building DCS, Snow Controller RaySolFloor Heating Manual or Timed, Floor-Sensing Thermostat, DigiTrace910 HWATHot Water Maintenance Self-Regulating, Line Sensing Control?
Control and Monitoring are Different • Control • Varying the heating cable output to achieve the desired temperature • Monitoring • Providing feedback on the status of the heat-traced system Control Monitoring
Options for XL-Trace • Self-Regulating • Ambient sensing control • Ambient sensing thermostats • Line sensing control • Line sensing thermostats • Monitoring & Control with DigiTrace 910
Self-Regulating Control is Simple DistributionPanel PowerConnection Heating cable End Seal
Ambient Sensing Control MainContactor Ambient sensingthermostat DistributionPanel
Ambient Sensing Thermostats Fixed 40°F setpoint AMC-1A AMC-F5
Line Sensing Control DistributionPanel Line sensingthermostat orDigitrace 910
Line Sensing Thermostats Fixed 40°F setpoint AMC-1B AMC-F5
Ground-Fault Monitoring • Advantages • Monitors integrity of heating cable and power distribution wiring • Readily available equipment • Low installed cost • Disadvantages • Monitors cable integrity, not performance • Required bell alarm contract on GFPD
Monitoring Using GFPD GFPD DistributionPanel PowerConnection End Seal Heating cable
DigiTrace 910 • 910 Single point electronic controller (920 Multi-point) • Approved GFPD replaces t-stat and ground fault breaker • Compatible with BMS, Networkable • Provides temperature, current and ground fault monitoring • Order RTD separately
Temperature Monitoring • Advantages • Measures performance (will it freeze?) • Provides extensive alarm capability • Low and high temperature • High Low Amps • High Ground fault & Ground Fault trip • Can be networked to each other & a PC • Disadvantages • Expensive to install on each circuit
