Introduction

The 

intelliTRACE Supervisory Control is designed to 

monitor and manage multiple Chromalox 

intelliTRACE 

Control Panels. Each “Panel” must be either a Chro-

malox 

IntelliTRACE Base Panel or a Base Panel with 

a single Extension Panel. (When a base panel is cou-

pled with an extension panel, this is often referred to as 

an 

intelliTRACE “System”). Each Panel (or “System”) 

must be comprised of 6 - 72 circuits. This includes the 

ITAS, ITLS, ITASC1D2 and ITLSC1D2 heat trace con-

trol panel platforms, including the Extension panel ver-

sions. 
intelliTRACE provides efficient and secure remote 

monitoring and parameter value management of hun-

dreds to thousands of individual heat trace circuits.  
intelliTRACE is available as a downloadable PC Soft-

ware program or it may be embedded in an Industrial 

PC for either ordinary or hazardous areas. 
Alarm indication throughout your entire system is vis-

ible from 5 separate user-defined levels. From the 

highest “Corporate” level down to the individual cir-

cuit level, 

intelliTRACE provides the user with 100% 

system-wide monitoring and alarm status at all times.  
Local system monitoring and management is per-

formed through the touch screen computer which su-

pervises each individual 

intelliTRACE control panel 

system. System wide remote access is available at any 

control station on your network. Additionally, the intel-

liTRACE software package provides the owner with 

peace of mind with its electronic email of alarm events.    
The 

intelliTRACE supervisory control is extremely ef-

ficient to set up and manage. Intuitive Windows based 

system screens and global application of mass pa-

rameter value settings will have your system commis-

sioned in minutes, not hours. Navigation to any 

intel-

liTRACE control panel system is accomplished via 1 

to 3 mouse clicks within 

intelliTRACE while individual 

circuit detail within each panel system is simply one 

more click away.

intelliTRACE Features:
•  Offered as either an Industrial PC for both Ordinary 

or Hazardous areas or as a Software Program on 

your Personal Computer (See PC Requirements 

Section)
