Ground-Fault Alarm and TripGround-fault (GF) current levels are monitored and displayed in milliamps. The availability of theactual ground-fault level gives the user the choice of both alarm and trip levels suitable for theparticular installation. Using multiple SSRs or a multipole contactor allows all powered legs ofnon-neutral circuits to be switched off under GF conditions.Overcurrent ProtectionA unique overcurrent protection algorithm greatly reduces the possibility of damage to the circuitor the controller in the event of a temporary overload while allowing for initially high in-rushcurrents (SSR options only).Soft StartingGiven the circuit breaker size, the <strong>920</strong> will limit the energy let-through to help prevent nuisancebreaker trips due to cable in-rush. This feature makes the controller particularly attractive for usewith self-regulating cables (SSR options only).Minimum/Maximum Temperature TrackingThe controller maintains the minimum and maximum temperature values seen by the controllersince the last reset of these values. This is helpful in determining causes of temperature alarms.Latching/Non-Latching Temperature AlarmsUser-selectable, non-latching temperature alarms allow the controller to automatically clear thealarm when the condition no longer exists.High and Low Voltage AlarmsOperating at voltages less than design can cause serious loss of heater output. The alarming ofpreset voltage deviations ensures availability of sufficient wattage output.Power LimitingThe <strong>920</strong> will control the maximum output wattage if the full load power exceeds the specifiedmaximum power setpoint. This feature eliminates the need for low voltage transformers in manyapplications and can assist in standardization of heating cable types (SSR options only).AutocyclingThe controller will energize the circuit for 10 seconds at a programmable interval. Circuit alarmswill be generated at the time of autocycle instead of when the heat is required. This featureeliminates the need for a preventive maintenance program as these tests are performed at regularintervals by the controller.Temperature Sensor Failure AlarmBoth open and shorted sensors are detected and alarmed by the controller.Random StartA startup delay between 0 and 9 seconds ensures that all units do not come on line at the sametime.Full Digital CommunicationsAn optional internal communications interface allows the communication of alarms and analogdata to a monitoring system. Industry-standard RS-232 or RS-485 serial communications areavailable for applications requiring direct interfacing to other devices. The modem versionmaintains compatibility with legacy products including the GCC-9000/780 <strong>Series</strong> (GroupCommunications <strong>Controller</strong>). With the availability of the heat trace data at the user’s fingertips,historical trending of temperatures, power consumption, or other parameters are available foranalysis and system optimization.THERMAL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS EN-<strong>Digi<strong>Trace</strong></strong><strong>920</strong>series-IM-H56874 04/137 / 82
