Tracon GPT 230

Dual Channel heat trace TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

The GPT 230 Dual Channel Temperature Controller is ideal for applications which required two independent heater zones. Each zone has it’s own relay and GFEP. Any 3 wire RTD or Thermistor sensor can be used for temperature sensing. 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
