Electric wiring to heating elements must be installed
in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC)/
Canadian Electrical Code requirements, as well as all
other local and applicable electrical codes and any third-
party standards. This product is intended for commercial
and industrial applications. Follow the installation
instructions contained in this manual and those provided
by the heater manufacturer. Size the circuit breaker
appropriately for the expected load and inrush current.
The maximum rated current for the FPT 130 is 30 amps
with resistive load.
Heater loads and their controls should not share a circuit
branch with other types of equipment. A shared circuit
may result in electromagnetic interference that can affect
system operation. Make certain that the heater shield is
properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in damage

Following installation and prior to beginning system
operation, refer to and perform the Post-Installation Test
described in this manual.
Risque de choc électrique / d’incendie
Toute installation impliquant un câblage de chauffage
électrique doit être mise à la terre pour se protéger
contre les chocs et les risques d’incendie. Des systèmes
appropriés de détection et d’interruption des défauts à la
terre doivent toujours être utilisés pour réduire les risques
de choc et d’incendie et protéger l’équipement.
Le câblage électrique des éléments chauffants doit être
installé conformément aux exigences du Code national
de l’électricité (NEC) / du Code canadien de l’électricité,
ainsi qu’à tous les autres codes électriques locaux et
applicables et à toute norme tierce. Ce produit est
destiné aux applications commerciales et industrielles.
Suivez les instructions d’installation contenues dans ce
manuel et celles fournies par le fabricant de l’appareil
de chauffage. Dimensionnez le disjoncteur en fonction
de la charge et du courant d’appel attendus. Le courant
nominal maximum pour le FPT 130 est de 30 ampères
avec une charge résistive.
Les charges de chauffage et leurs commandes ne doivent
pas partager une branche de circuit avec d’autres types
d’équipement. Un circuit partagé peut entraîner des
interférences électromagnétiques qui peuvent affecter
opération Système. Assurez-vous que le blindage du
radiateur est correctement mis à la terre. Ne pas le
faire peut endommager l’équipement ou provoquer un
incendie.
Après l’installation et avant de commencer le
fonctionnement du système, reportez-vous et effectuez le
test de post-installation décrit dans ce manuel.

1/4” or 6.3 mm fasteners.
The FPT 130’s nonmetallic enclosure has one 1.046”
hole for conduit entry; this can hold both power and
load wiring.
Use only Listed Type 4X IP66 liquid–tight conduit hubs
or cable glands. Connect the hub to the conduit system
before connecting the hub to the enclosure.
The unit comes with two installed liquid–tight cable

The cable glands can accommodate cable diameters
0.08” to 0.24” (2 mm to 6 mm). The temperature sensor
may be located up to 2,000’ (610m) from the FPT.
There is a removable electrical insulation divider that
must be in place when there is power applied to the unit.
All leads should be terminated; no unsecured leads
should be left inside the wiring compartment.

POWER SOURCE AND CONTACTOR CONNECTIONS
Supply Voltage
The FPT 130 operates from 100 – 277 V ac at 50/60
Hz. This control and its heater load should not share a
circuit branch and circuit breaker with other types of
equipment.A shared circuit may result in electromagnetic
interference that can affect system operation. For line
supply and load connections, use 10 AWG wires rated
for at least 194 °F (90 °C). The connections are shown in
Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Contactor Ratings
The heater contactor provides dual Form A (DPST)
contacts rated for heater loads up to 30 amps and 277
volts ac. The dual contacts on the contactor are used to
control both legs of the input power (Line and Neutral).
Manual Load Test
To manually energize the load, hold Test/Reset

EXTERNAL ALARM
Alarm Connections
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
&RPPRQLVXVHGLQERWKZLULQJFRQƓJXUDWLRQV&RQQHFW
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. See Figure 6.
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.
Note: The “Normally” condition of the relay is the alarm
condition for the unit.

OPERATION
The FPT 130 can maintain temperatures at setpoints of

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.
The FTP 130 also features a Low Current Alarm, which
switches the system off when it detects a load current
below 0.1 amps (unless Fire Protection Mode is on). The
load current is checked during each ground fault test,
and whenever the load is on. Note: the low-current alarm

• 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 to 32 °F (0 °C) for all
setpoints except the 30 °F (-1.1 °C) setpoint. For the 30
°F (-1.1 °C) setpoint the LOW TEMP alarm will indicate
when the temperature drops to 28 °F (-2.2 °C).
– Blinking indicates sensor fault.
– Blinking fast – indicates High Temperature alarm.
• 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).
Pushbuttons
• 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.
– To reset the low-current alarm. If the load current is
