1. Install the Control Box
Use the box itself as a template to determine the mounting hole footprint. Install the box to a solid, stable surface
capable of supporting four times the weight of the box, or about 20 pounds. Use all four mounting holes. Install
the control box to the wall using heavy-duty 1/4” or 6.3 mm fasteners long enough to fasten the box securely.
Do not fully tighten mounting hardware at this time. Leave the mounting hardware loose enough to work the conduit into place.
Hardware will be fully tightened following installation of the conduit.
Note: Perform the following steps with the circuit breaker to the unit OFF. The TRACON FPT 130 is permanently
connected equipment and does not have an internal disconnect device. When power is applied, the system will start.
2. Connect the Supply and Load
Feed the Input Supply (Input Power) and the Load (Heater Cable) through the Conduit Entry
Hole in the enclosure as shown, then connect the leads, as shown in the Figure 3. Line is
black; neutral is white; ground is green.
3. Install the Temperature Sensor
The FPT 130 comes with a thermistor temperature sensor with a 20 ft. jacketed cable that
has an operating range of −40 °F to 230 °F (−40 ˚C to 110 ˚C).
Refer to Figure 4.
4. Install the External Alarm
An alarm or power–off condition can be communicated by either opening or closing a relay
contact. It is important to make the proper alarm relay connections to achieve the desired
result. The middle terminal labeled COM (Common) is used in both wiring configurations.
Connect one alarm relay lead to the COM terminal.
If the system needs a contact to close to signal an alarm or power–off condition, connect
the other alarm relay lead to the NC (Normally Closed) terminal.
If the system needs a contact to open to signal an alarm or power–off condition, then
connect the other alarm relay lead to the NO (Normally Open) terminal.
If the unit has power, and there are no alarm conditions then the NO and COM terminals
will be connected. If the unit loses power or an alarm condition occurs then the NC and
COM terminals will be connected.
Refer to Figure 5.
5. Setup and Settings Editing
Refer to Figure 6 (upper right).
6. Install the Conduit and Fully Tighten Hardware

Operation
The FPT 130 can maintain temperatures at setpoints of 30°F, 38°F, 45°F, or 50°F (−1.1°C, 3.3°C,
7.2°C, or 10°C). The heater will energize when the temperature drops below the designated setpoint. The
heater will de-energize when the temperature reaches 2 °F (1 °C) above the setpoint.
The FPT130 features ETI's patented self–testing GFEP, which switches the system off when it detects excessive
ground current leakage (unless Fire Protection Mode is on). The GFEP eliminates the extra expenses associated
with having to provide external GFEP.
FTP 130 Front Panel
Refer to Figure 8.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
• POWER indicator – This green LED lit solid indicates that the FPT 130 is receiving power.
– Blinking indicates a calibration error.
• HEAT indicator – This yellow LED lit solid indicates when the heater is energized .
– Blinking asymmetric (1/2 sec off × 1–1/2 sec on) – Low Current Alarm, heater relay closed.
– Blinking asymmetric (1/2 sec on × 1–1/2 sec off) – Low Current Alarm, heater relay open.
– Blinking fast – Stuck relay.
• LOW TEMP indicator – This blue LED lit solid indicates when the temperature falls more than
2 °F (1 °C) below the setpoint.
– Blinking indicates sensor fault.
• ALARM indicator – This red LED lit solid indicates when there is a high ground fault current.
– Blinking indicates a GFEP circuit failure (this light will also blink while system is preforming a self–test).
PUSHBUTTON
• TEST/RESET pushbutton – This red pushbutton has the following functions:
– To test the ground fault detector circuit itself AND to test for a ground fault when the heat load is
not energized (the heater will energize during the test). Note: whenever the heat is on, the unit is
continuously checking for a ground fault.
– To reset the system after a ground fault. If the ground fault no longer exists, then normal operation
will resume.
– Energizes heater for system testing or troubleshooting. Pressing this pushbutton for five seconds
will energize the heater for five minutes. Pressing the pushbutton again will de-energize the heater
and resume normal operation.
Note: Because the unit has no ON/OFF power switch, power runs to the unit as soon as facility power is
connected to it. When the unit has power, the green POWER indicator will be lit.
