Additional copies of this user manual may be ordered separately through your nVent Thermal Management representative or online at nVent.com. 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...
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.

Enclosure Mounting DIN Rail 35 mm (Indoor only) *Note: The 465 controller can't monitor the load current and ground fault current in each cable segment when an external contactor is used. These supervisory conditions are disabled when external contactor is used.
This section includes information regarding the initial inspection, preparation for use, and storage instructions for the 465 controller. Note: If the 465 controller is used in a manner not specified by nVent Thermal Management, the protection provided by the controller may be impaired.
Grounding hubs and conductors must be installed in accordance with Article 250 of the National Electrical Code and Part I of the Canadian Electrical Code. 2.5.1 Power and Load Connections The 465 controller may be powered directly from a 120 V to 277 V supply. nVent.com/RAYCHEM | 10...
Figure 2.3 – Heating Cable Connection 2.5.2 Temperature Sensor and Extension Cables The 465 controller has two (2) temperature sensor inputs. Use only 2-wire Thermistor 2 KOhm / 77°F (25°C) sensors provided. Sensor 1 should be connected to terminals S1 ┴...
Figure 2.4 – Temperature Sensor Wiring 2.6 SUPERVISORY RELAY CONNECTIONS The 465 controller includes terminals for one supervisory relay as shown in figure 2.5. It can support both AC and DC power source (please refer to the max voltage and current specifications for the relay above).
Supervisory Relay Terminals Figure 2.5 – Supervisory Relay Wiring After all connections are made, connect the network cable from the touchscreen to the port on the controller as shown below: Figure 2.6 – Connect the touchscreen cable to the controller. Close the lid with screwdriver and turn on the circuit breaker for the circuit.
A connection of the unit to an external contactor needs to be confirmed by the user. WARNING: The 465 controller can't monitor the load current and ground fault current in each cable segment when an external contactor is used.

Default: 110°F (43°C) Start Test The test program runs for 30 minutes, during Program which all parameters will be ignored to check heating cable and connection on site. You can stop the test program at any time. Key Lock Key lock gets activated after the quick start process.
3.2 SETTINGS MENU Figure 3.2 – Settings Menu The settings menu has three sections: The System section allows you to read system information, run test program, service the system such as upgrade the firmware, export event log/energy consumption/temperatures or calibrate the screen, read status of the heat tracing circuit, enable key lock, assign device ID and reset the system to factory settings.
Figure 3.3 – System Menu 3.3.1 Info Purpose General info about the unit, name, commissioning date, firmware version, nVent Thermal Management contact info per country. 3.3.2 Test Program Purpose The test program runs for 30 minutes, during which all parameters will be ignored to check the heating cable and the connection on site.
3.3.5 Keylock Feature Purpose When key lock is “On”, the setup and timer menus are protected by password. To unlock the unit, enter the predefined password (3000). The unit will automatically lock itself after 10 minutes of inactivity or when Lock “on” key is pressed. Factory default: Key lock is “On”...
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.
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.

Symptom/Supervisory Probable Cause Corrective Action Condition Temperature setting Low temperature Decrease setting. too close to maintain temperature. Heating cable not Refer to the appropriate heating cable sized properly for the design guide for correct product application. selection. Damaged, wet, or Replace or install correct thermal missing thermal insulation.
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.
