Tracon GPT 130

single channel heat trace TEMPERATURE controller

The GPT 130 Temperature Controller is ideal for use in any electric heat application requiring a control system to maintain a steady temperature. With 2% accuracy span, built in 30 amp relay with a 30mA GFEP your application will be safely and reliably controlled. Any 100k ohms 3-wire RTD or Thermistor sensor can be used for temperature sensing.

  • Adjustable Temperature Setpoint and Alarms Sensor Inputs
  • Precision Monitoring and Control
  • Ground–Fault Equipment Protection
  • Automatic GFEP Circuit Self–Test

FEATURES

  • Adjustable temperature setpoint allows precise control of a wide range of processes
  • Can use an NEC Class 2 temperature sensor with up to 2,000 ft. cable for enhanced installation options
  • Thermistor temperature sensor with 20 ft. cable included for applications of −40 °F to 230 °F (−40 °C to 110 °C)
  • Manual and Automatic self testing after commissioned
  • Isolated SPDT 1 AMP Class 2 contact for remote alarming on 5 conditions
  • Temperature display for accurate adjusting and monitoring
  • Load current display for accurate adjusting and monitoring
  • Ground fault current display for accurate monitoring, protection, and alarm
  • Adjustable alarm thresholds for excess ground fault current, load current, and temperature
  • Alarms indicated with panel display and relay contact for remote signaling
  • A Fault Mode setting which can be set to energize or de-energize the heaters during a sensor failure
  • Fire Protection Mode maintains heater operation for use in critical fire protection systems
  • Durable weather–resistant NEMA 4X IP66 enclosure permits indoor or outdoor installation
