The well established Thermon TraceNet range has now been extended by the TraceNet ECM – Electronic Control Module. This highly accurate state of the art controller has a very wide control range and can be located in hazardous areas. It has been designed for a wide range of ambient temperatures where heat tracing for freeze protection or temperature maintenance is applied: from the Arctic -74°C (-76°F) to Desert 55°C (+131°F) environments. The ECM is capable of switching high current ratings, and can also be supplied as a controller and/or limiter, for pipe or wall mounting.
It can be set in degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit and provided with various data highway communication capabilities. (Standard communication port RS485-MODBUS RTU protocol) These characteristics make the TraceNet ECM the most versatile and affordable local to application (or ‘pipe mounted’) controller in the market.
