WARNING:
It is NOT advisable to engage the Auto Cycle
feature during normal operating periods. The
heating cables will become fully energized for
approximately 2 minutes throughout the Auto
Cycle Interval which could cause undesirable
temperature overshoot.
Number of Current Samples
The intelliTRACE Supervisory controller has an adjustable current sampling rate. A sample (or survey) of the cur-
rent load and ground fault load on one circuit is made every 250 milliseconds. The Current Load is the average of
the collected samples. The Current Load for each circuit is displayed on the Main Screen.
Increasing the number of current samples increases the accuracy of the current sample reading.
However, this will increase the time required to execute the circuit reading process.
Likewise, reducing the number of current samples decreases the current reading accuracy. How-
ever, the survey process is completed faster.
Therefore, one must choose whether accuracy of this reading or the frequency of this reading is
most important.
The minimum - maximum range is 3 – 100 current samples. The factory default is 50.
Configuring Your System
The last items to consider while setting up your system are included in the Application Setup Page. This page is
revealed when you select the
Configure
button at the bottom of the Main Screen. See Figure 17.
These default configuration considerations include display, reporting & alarming behavior, security and system
connection decisions.
