1 INTRODUCTION Please read all instructional literature carefully and thoroughly before starting. Refer to the inside front cover for the listing of Liabilities and Warranties. NOTICE: The information contained in this document is subject to change without notice. Please read these Operating Instructions before commissioning the instrument.
1.6 Area of use nVent RAYCHEM NGC-40-SLIM limiters are used for temperature limiting of electrical heaters in industrial and potentially explosive atmospheres. The NGC-40-SLIM is a safety temperature limiter. NGC-40-SLIM units are approved for use in non-hazardous areas. Where needed the temperature sensor of the unit can be placed in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 when the sensor is hazardous area approved.
2.1 Product Description The NGC-40-SLIM module is used as safety temperature limiter within the NGC-40 control and monitoring system. The module has one output for the contactor, one alarm output and one digital input. The alarm output can be used to control an external annunciator.
Form-A 250 Vac/3 A contactor coil drive relay. This output is used in conjunction with the terminals to provide switched LINE voltage to an external contactor coil. 2.1.13 NGC-40 Safety Limiter Product name: NGC-40-SLIM Part number: 1244-010700 2.1.14 NGC-40-SLIM accessories and associated components Product name Part number NGC-40-HTC 10730-003...

NGC-40-SLIM units can be reset by means of a Trip Reset push button, an external hardwired signal or via dedicated software. The output of the unit will only be enabled when all conditions are safe; meaning that the temperature measured by the limiter RTD has dropped below the limiter set point and when there are no other faults being detected.
Refer to section 3.7 below for the procedure to change the safety limiter set point. The safety temperature limiter operates totally independent of the temperature control system and has its own temperature inputs (RTD Limiter). In case of a defect to any part of the NGC-40-SLIM unit the device shall be de-energized before replacing the defective equipment.
3.9 Safety related system characteristics The failure types of; sensor break, sensor short, sensor misconnected and random hardware failure are permanently monitored. IMPORTANT NOTICE In case a failure of the safety system is detected either during operation or during routine maintenance when executing a function test the unit should be switched off and taken out of service.
