4 Summary XL-Trace Freeze protection ElectroMelt, IceStop Snow and Ice Melting RaySol Floor Heating HWAT Hot Water Maintenance Self-Regulating, Line Sensing Control? Manual or Timed, Floor-Sensing Thermostat, DigiTrace910 Manual, Ambient Thermostat, Building DCS, Snow Controller Self-Regulating, Ambient & Line Sensing Thermostats, DigiTrace 910
5 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
6 Options for XL-Trace Self-Regulating Ambient sensing control – Ambient sensing thermostats Line sensing control – Line sensing thermostats Monitoring & Control with DigiTrace 910
7 Self-Regulating Control is Simple Power Connection Heating cableEnd Seal Distribution Panel
8 Ambient Sensing Control Distribution Panel Ambient sensing thermostat Main Contactor
9 Ambient Sensing Thermostats AMC-1AAMC-F5 Fixed 40°F setpoint
10 Distribution Panel Line Sensing Control Line sensing thermostat or Digitrace 910
11 Line Sensing Thermostats AMC-1BAMC-F5 Fixed 40°F setpoint
12 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 Ground-Fault Monitoring
13 Monitoring Using GFPD Distribution Panel Power Connection Heating cable End Seal
14 DigiTrace 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
15 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
