    Force On command, select Cancel Force On from the Main Menu. The Force On feature may also be used with any of the other control modes selected. Users may also force the device on or off via the Frio Cloud platform as described below.
  • Page 8: Adjusting The Gfep Trip Level

    Adjusting the GFEP Trip Level The GFEP Trip Level on the Frio S1 controller is adjustable from 30 mA to 300mA. Frio does not recommend setting the GFEP threshold above 30 mA. In limited circumstances and always under the guidance of a licensed electrician, the GFEP threshold may be set to a value above 30 mA.

    The following table includes the BACnet Points List that will be available on future firmware versions. The points list is included to aid in the design of systems that will communicate with the Frio S1 via BACnet. For the latest information on BACnet compatibility, please contact Frio at info@frio.co.
  • Page 12: Dry Contact

    The Frio S1 is equipped with a dry contact to provide users with a low voltage alarm output option. The dry contact is normally closed and opens when the Frio S1 has an alarm signal. The contacts are rated for 2 A maximum at 250 VAC and are compatible with 14-24 AWG wires.
  • Page 13: Sensor Failure

    Thermistor The Frio S1 should only be used with the Frio thermistor. The Frio thermistor is a 10k NTC thermistor with ± 1% accuracy. The Frio thermistor has an operating range of -40°C to 105°C and an international protection rating of IP68.

    NSPECTION AND LANNING 1. Inspect the Frio S1 controller for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. 2. Layout and plan the heat tracing system, including all sensors, wiring, conduit, and junction boxes. 3. Determine the controller location. The controller should be mounted on a fixed vertical surface. The controller may be mounted outside but should not be mounted in direct sunlight to reduce the chance of condensation forming in the controller.

    NOTE: WHEN USING THE HIGH CURRENT ALARM WITH SELF-REGULATING HEAT TRACE, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO USE A DELAY OF AT LEAST 300 SECONDS TO AVOID ALARMING DUE TO INRUSH CURRENT WHEN THE HEAT TRACE IS ACTIVATED. 21 | © Frio 2021 - Rev. 0.3 - Updated 3/2/2021...
  • Page 22: Start Up

    3.4.1 and 3.4.2. After the device checks for a connection it will display the Frio logo on the main screen while loading device firmware from memory. Loading the firmware can take several seconds. When the firmware is loaded, the display will show the main screen and the device is ready to use.
  • Page 23: Rebooting The Device

    Frio recommends disabling networking on offline devices as this will disable the network connection alarm. Offline devices will not have access to the Frio Cloud platform and will not be able to use any cloud features. Offline devices will not have access to any firmware updates.
