Announcing the release of Genesis Network Software Version 1.3

The Genesis Network delivers full operational awareness and supervisory control over heat trace systems consisting of Thermon and third party products. Genesis Network connects all heat trace controllers to the control room via wireless mesh communications or wired ethernet. In the control room, alarms and performance history are logged and displayed to operators, maintenance teams, and management via a user-friendly browser-based interface accessible from any PC or tablet.

The Genesis Network platform is the foundation of Technology Enabled Maintenance for heat trace systems. Thermon enables optimized use of plant assets and energy, saving significantly on operational costs.

Genesis Network Version 1.3 new features:

• Support for nVent 910/920 Controllers
• Support for nVent NGC30 Controllers
• Added priority and lockout metadata to each circuit
• Development of optimized BI reports to facilitate Technology Enabled Maintenance
• Ability to extract report files from network devices via USB

Thermon’s HTSX™ 400 & 480 Vac Self-Regulating Heat Trace delivers:

• Over 70% increase in voltage rating, creating new applications and usage cases for our inherently safe and reliable self-regulating technology
• Up to 110% increase in heat tracing circuit lengths, simplifying plant design and optimizing Total Installed and Maintenance Costs for our Customers
• Thermon’s unique and proven Monolithic Co-Extrusion (MCE) technology, offering improved life expectancy and reliability over the competition
• Identical T-Ratings to our lower voltage HTSX™ offerings, ensuring the same safe operation in hazardous areas
• Enhanced Safety and Easier Installation compared with other high voltage and extended circuit length heat trace technologies

Thermon’s team of engineers and scientists pioneered the world’s first MCE self-regulating heat trace in 1997. As we have charted the path forward, significant investments in materials science, product design, and processing capabilities enabled the creation of our renowned HTSX™, VSX-HT™, and USX™ trace heaters. Thermon’s new 400 & 480 Vac capability for HTSX™ has increased the voltage rating and circuit length,while maintaining the inherent safety, reliability, low cost of ownership, and ease of installation that Thermon HTSX™is known for.

Available in three nominal power outputs of 10, 15, and 20 W/ft at 480 Vac and 24, 40, and 57 W/m at 400 Vac, this new high voltage option features T-Ratings of T3 (for 10 & 15 W/ft) and T2C (for 20 W/ft). The three high voltage options can be energized with 380 to 480 Vac, complementing the existing six power output options that are available for both 100-120 Vac and 200-277 Vac.

Specify the new high voltage HTSX™ to optimize your critical freeze protection and process maintenance heat tracing systems today!
