This document covers the 465 controller and its available options. This fire sprinkler heat trace controller is designed for the following trace heating products necessary to make up...
  • Page 5: Product Overview Description

    The 465 controller monitors, controls, and communicates supervisory events and data for one heating cable circuit. The intended use of 465 controller is to control and monitor heat tracing circuits for fire sprinkler systems. Each unit is a single point controller with a 5" inch color touch screen display for intuitive set up and programming right out of the box.
  • Page 6 High Temperature Cutout High temperature cutout is provided for both temperature sensor inputs. Low Current Condition The 465 controller offers a low current condition to identify situations where the heating cable is not pulling adequate current. Electromechanical Relay (EMR) Output The 465 controller is equipped with a 24A rated electromechanical relay (EMR) output switch with device failure supervisory status change.

  • Page 20: Sensor Setup

    Figure 3.5 below: Figure 3.5 – Sensor Setup The 465 controller allows for two temperature sensors. Assign each sensor to be a line or ambient sensor. If both the sensors are assigned as line or ambient sensors, the controller will control based on the lower measured temperature of the two sensors.
  • Page 21: Control Mode

    Note: "High Limit Cutout" feature turns the circuit off when the corresponding sensor reaches the high limit cutout temperature. This feature has a higher priority over the "Power On TS Fail" feature. In other words, the circuit in high limit cutout condition will remain powered off until that condition goes away and the TS Fail condition won't power the circuit on.

    TROUBLESHOOTING The 465 controller may be used as an effective troubleshooting tool to pinpoint problem areas of heating cable circuits. Described below are a few of the more common problem areas, their symptoms, and parameters to check to determine the actual faulty portion of the heating cable circuit.

  • Page 27: Appendix A: Proportional Ambient Sensing Control (Pasc)

    The 465 controller has a control algorithm that uses the measured ambient temperature, desired maintain temperature, minimum ambient temperature assumption used during design, and size of the smallest pipe diameter to calculate how long the heating cable should be on or off to maintain a near-constant pipe temperature.
