The customer's monitoring device suchas a PLC or DCS would interpret this condition to alertthe operators of an additional alarm occurring.162DescriptionThe <strong>Chromalox</strong> FPAS, FPLS, FPASM, <strong>and</strong>FPLSM series freeze protection heat tracepanels offer power-distribution, ground-faultprotection, individual circuit alarming, line <strong>and</strong>ambient sensing control.The panels are housed in NEMA 4 enclosuresfor indoor/outdoor applications. NEMA 4X 304stainless steel enclosures may be selected asan option for more harsh environments.The st<strong>and</strong>ard models are available in 12, 18,20, 30, <strong>and</strong> 42 position panelboards with 100<strong>and</strong> 225 amp bus ratings in Single <strong>and</strong> Three-Phase confi gurations.Branch circuit breakers are available in 20,25, 30, <strong>and</strong> 40 amp single-pole <strong>and</strong> two-poleconfi gurations with 30 mA ground-fault equipmentprotection.FPAS – Freeze Protection Ambient SensingSeriesThe FPAS series controls multiple heat tracecircuits via an ambient sensing externalthermostat, external electronic controller orvia an ambient sensing, door mounted 1601Econtroller. <strong>Chromalox</strong> recommended controllersinclude: RTAS, RTAS-EP, B100, E100 orthe 1601E microprocessor controller.The FPAS may be operated in two modes;automatically with the external controller, or inmanual override via the H<strong>and</strong>/Off/Auto selectorswitch.FPLS – Freeze Protection Line Sensing MonitorSeriesThe FPLS series controls each heat trace linewith individual <strong>Chromalox</strong> RTBC, RTBC-EP,E-100 or E121 pipe line sensing controls. Eachcircuit should be controlled by an individualsensor/controller. Depending on the application,controllers can switch more that onecircuit.FPASM Model ShownFPASM – Freeze Protection Ambient SensingMonitor SeriesThe FPASM <strong>Weather</strong>Trace with the SentinelSystem, continually monitors the supplyvoltage to each individual heat trace circuit.Loss of voltage or a ground fault condition willtrigger an automatic alarm condition, alertingplant personnel of critical process problems<strong>and</strong> reducing downtime. An annunciator panelthen identifi es the faulted zone <strong>and</strong> a CommonAlarm is activated with the re-ring feature.*The FPASM series controls multiple heattrace circuits via an ambient sensing externalthermostat, external electronic controller orvia an ambient sensing, door mounted 1601Econtroller. <strong>Chromalox</strong> recommended controllersinclude: RTAS, RTAS-EP, B100, E100 orthe 1601E microprocessor controller.The FPASM may be operated in two modes;automatically with the external controller or inmanual override via the H<strong>and</strong>/Off/Auto selectorswitch.FPLSM – Freeze Protection Line SensingMonitor SeriesThe FPLSM series controls heat trace lineswith individual <strong>Chromalox</strong> RTBC, RTBC-EP,E100 or E121 pipe line sensing controls. Eachcircuit should be controlled by <strong>and</strong> individualsensor/controller. Depending on the application,controllers can switch more that onecircuit.The FPLSM is identical to the FPLS Plug. Itfeatures the <strong>Weather</strong>Trace Sentinel whichcontinually monitors the supply voltage toeach individual heat trace circuit without theneed for additional staff. Loss of voltage or aground fault condition triggers an automaticalarm condition, alerting plant personnel ofcritical process problems <strong>and</strong> reducing downtime.An annunciator panel then identifi es thefaulted zone <strong>and</strong> a Common Alarm is activatedwith the re-ring feature.*
