ADDED FOR

AXPC100-CM-GP

The CM-GP/AXPC100-CM-GP is an electronic

temperature controller with 30-mA ground-fault protection.

It is ideal for all heat tracing applications requiring accurate

temperature monitoring. The controller can be

programmed to maintain temperatures up to 215°C

(419°F) at voltages from 100 to 277 V and can switch

current up to 30 Amperes for the CM-GP or 25 Amperes

for the AXPC100-CM-GP. The CM-GP/AXPC100-CM-GP

is complete with a temperature sensor and is housed in a

NEMA 4X rated enclosure. The controller features an

AC/DC dry alarm contact relay for monitoring critical

applications such as fire protection piping.

These instructions are to be used together with the

installation and maintenance instructions for any heating

cable or power connection kits utilized with this controller.

MENU SETTINGS

Programing the Controller:

 To enter Settings mode, Press the “MENU” button for 3 seconds and the display will flash “Unit” for

1 second and then C or F depending on current settings.

 To change the setting press “UP” or “DOWN” to reach the desired value.

 To save and move to the next setting press “NEXT”

 Pressing “NEXT” on “Lo ALr” saves and returns to normal mode.

 To save and return to normal mode at any point ot the menu; hold “MENU” for 3 seconds until the

actual temperature is displa

ed.

 ACTUAL (Amber):

Indicates the status of the Actual

Temperature as detected by the RTD.

Blinking: The Actual temperature is below

setpoint and the heater is energized.

Solid: The Actual temperature is at or above

the set point, the heater is de-energized.

 SETPOINT (Amber):

Indicates that value on the display is the

setpoint temperature value

 ALARM (Red):

Blinks when an Alarm condition is present.

For alarm details see section

“CM-GP/AXPC100-CM-GP Error Displa

To Initiate Ground Fault Testing:

GROUND FAULT TESTING

ERROR DISPLAYS

The Controller will display the following upon

detecting an error state:

 Low Temerature Alarm

When Actual temperature(AT) is less

than or equal to the low temperature

alarm value (LTAV), Alarm LED (Red)

will start flashing and the display will

flash as follows: “Lo”, “ALr”,”LtSp”,

LTAV,”Act”, AT

 High Temerature Alarm

When AT is greater than or equal to the

high temperature alarm value (HTAV)

Alarm LED (Red) will start flashing and

the display will flash as follows: “HI”,

“ALr”, “HtSp”, HTAV, “Act”, AT

 Temperature Sensor Alarm

When the RTD is shorted or open, the Alarm LED (Red) will start flashing and the display will start

flashing “Err”, “SnSr” alternatively.

 Ground Fault Trip

When ground fault current is greater than 30mA the Alarm LED will start flashing, and the display

will start flashing “GF”, “triP” alternatively, and the output relay will be deactivated until the fault is

cleared and the GF is reset.

 Press “NEXT” button for 3 seconds

 The Output relay will be energized (if not already) and

artificial leakage current of 40 mA will be induced

 The Output relay should be deenergized and the display

should flash “GF”, “triP” alternating and the Alarm should be

activated.

 If the Output relay does not trip, “FAIL” will flash on the

display and the Output relay will be forced off.

 To reset the Controller, press and hold the “DOWN” button

for 3 seconds.

 To prevent electrical arcing and fire hazard, all cable connections and electrical wiring connections should be

sealed against moisture. This includes the use of proper cable sealing kits and the moisture proofing of all

wire connections.

 The metal sheath/braid of the heating cable must be connected to a suitable ground path before electrical

power is connected to this equipment.

 Isolate electrical power supply before opening or removing the Wire Cover.

 The enclosure cover must be secured with all screws provided to maintain the environmental ratings.

 The main components used in this connection system may present a hazard from static electricity. Only

surface cleaning with a damp cloth is acceptable.

 Routine maintenance is required to maintain compliance with health and safety legislation:

 Check that the cover gasket is in place and not damaged each time the enclosure is closed.

 Check that all cover screws are in place and secure each time the enclosure is closed.

 Check the security of all cable entries on a routine basis.

 Check that all electrical connections are tight and secure on a routine basis.

 Check for physical damage and replace as required.

 This connection system is designed for use in areas subject to normal industrial levels of vibration. They are

not designed for use in areas subject to intentional or extreme conditions of vibration.
