FPASM – Freeze Protection Ambient Sensing Monitor Series

The FPASM WeatherTrace with the Sentinel System, continually monitors the supply voltage to each individual heat trace circuit. Loss of voltage or a ground fault condition will trigger an automatic alarm condition, alerting plant personnel of critical process problems and reducing downtime. An annunciator panel then identifies the faulted zone and a Common Alarm is activated with the re-ring feature.*

The FPASM series controls multiple heat trace circuits via an ambient sensing external thermostat, external electronic controller or via an ambient sensing, door mounted 1601E controller. Chromalox recommended controllers include: RTAS, RTAS-EP, B100, E100 or the 1601E microprocessor controller.

The FPASM may be operated in two modes; automatically with the external controller or in manual override via the Hand/Off/Auto selector switch.

* The re-ring feature allows the WeatherTrace panel to communicate additional alarm conditions in the system by momentarily clearing and resetting the alarm output contact. The customer's monitoring device such as a PLC or DCS would interpret this condition to alert the operators of an additional alarm occurring.
