Ground Fault Testing

It is possible to simulate a ground fault on heater 1 by
creating a situation where the current from the heater 1’s
power input terminals, terminal 1 and 2, is not equal. As
shown in figure 5.2, this is done by connecting a resistor
across terminals 1 and 4.

Follow these steps to test the ground fault circuit:

1. Turn on incoming power. Set the gound fault trip

alarm setpoint to 30mA ( default ).

2. Turn off incoming power.
3. Connect a resistor between terminals 1 and 4.

This allows ground fault current I

G

to flow,

which will be seen by the ground fault sensor as
a ground fault. Size the resistor according to the
table to ensure sufficient ground fault current of
30mA ± 25%.

4. Apply power. The ground fault indicator should

come on after a short delay. It should not be
possible to turn on the heater even if the actual
temperature is below the setpoint. The
TraceMate II-CTR acts a ground fault circuit
breaker.

5. Turn off incoming power.
6. Remove the ground fault resistor between

terminals 1 and 4.

7. Re-apply power. All alarm indicators should be

off.

Repairs

In the event of a hardware failure, system operation can
be restored quickly by following this procedure:

1. Turn off incoming heater and alarm power.
2. Ensure that all wires are correctly marked for the

corresponding terminals.

3. Disconnect all wires to the terminals.
4. Remove any screws holding the TraceMate II-

CTR controller and return it to the factory for
repair.

5. Install a replacement TraceMate II-CTR control

module. A replacement module, without the
enclosure, can be ordered as a spare part. See the
order codes.

6. Reconnect the wires, apply power and follow the

testing procedure for a new control.
