PRO-Tect: Pipe Freeze Protection Single-Zone Control with GFEP

Yes, you can extend the sensor up to 2,000 ft. cable for enhanced installation options

Yes, you can use a 3-wire RTD Sensor: Platinum, Alpha = 0.00385, ITS–90,100 ohms. Once it is installed you will need to configure the controller for it by navigating to the sensor type screen and changing it to RTD.

WarmlyYours does not recommend using an extension cord for permanent installations. Pipe heat should always be plugged directly into a receptacle or hardwired to the circuit that is powering it.

Do not wrap self regulating cable around the pipe in a coiled or spiral fashion, and do not use electric tape to attach it. WarmlyYours recommends attaching the cable in a straight run and to use aluminum or fiberglass tape, pipe straps, or plastic zip ties to attach the cable. Then cover the assembly with fire-resistant insulation and assure it is waterproof. Place electrical heating cable WARNING labels every 10‘, and where the label will be clearly visible.

Use plastic zip ties, aluminum or fiberglass tape, or pipe straps. Do NOT use vinyl electrical tape, masking tape or duct tape. Do NOT use metal wire or metal twist ties to attach the cable.

The GPT-130 displays a number of alarms, beside the ground fault it will also alarm for low current. If you have disconnected the load to trouble shoot a possible ground fault in the heater cable, then you probably have a Low Current Alarm and a very low default ground fault current reading.

You can tell the difference by looking closely at the display, it will tell you what the alarm is for. If you want to clear the low current alarm so you can test the controller then go into the configuration menu and disable the Low Current Alarm.

Remember to re-enable the Low Current Alarm when you are done testing and ready to put the unit back into service.

This would indicate that you have enabled the Low Temperature Alarm and that the current temperature the sensor is sensing is below the alarm setpoint. You can change the set point, wait for the heaters to warm the sensor, or disable the alarm.
