Customer Questions & Answers

PRO-Tect Economy Control has 10 Questions and Answers.

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Post your question

Can the unit interface with BMS? Can it communicate with BACNET or MODBUS?

No, the FPT 130 provides a summary alarm via a dry contact relay. This relay is energized whenever the unit is powered. So, with power off the NC contact is closed, and the NO contact is open. When the unit is powered these are in the opposite state. A fault will de-energize the alarm relay and close the NC contact. This allows for a default, power loss alarm without power.

Why is the blue low temp LED on?

The blue LED lit solid indicates when the temperature falls to 32 °F (0 °C) for all set-points except the 30 °F (-1.1 °C) set-point. For the 30 °F (-1.1 °C) set-point the LOW TEMP alarm will indicate when the temperature drops to 28 °F (-2.2 °C).

How do you disable the low temp alarm?

  • Hold down the red TEST/RESET pushbutton for approximately ten seconds.

      - After the first five seconds the unit will go into Manual Mode, energizing the heater cable if it is not all ready energized.

      – After the second five seconds the unit will enter the LOW TEMP blue LED edit mode. This is indicated by the blue LED flashing rapidly. Release the button at this point. (The unit will exit Manual Mode.). 

          Note: The blue LED may flash for a couple of seconds after releasing the red TEST/RESET pushbutton.

          • The blue LED will indicate whether the LOW TEMP Alarm is currently disabled or not.

                – If the blue LED remains on the LOW TEMP Alarm is currently enabled.

                – If the blue LED goes off the LOW TEMP Alarm is currently disabled.

                – To keep the setting as it is wait five seconds and the unit will resume normal operation.

                – To change this setting press the red TEST/RESET pushbutton within five seconds. The new status of this setting will show for three seconds before the unit resumes normal operation.

                     Note: The blue LED will flash rapidly before exiting the LOW TEMP blue LED editing mode and resuming normal operation.
