Module Connections
Due to its flexible architecture, a variety of TraceNet TC Series panel configurations
are available. The specific project drawings should be followed when installing the
power supply and field distribution wiring into the TraceNet panel as well as when
installing the data highway interface wiring. As an overview and to provide a more
general understanding of the inner workings of this panel, the following general con-
nection diagrams are provided.
The TCM18 Connections
The TCM18 is the TraceNet interface to the outside world. It monitors the condition
of the heat tracing circuits as well as the heat traced piping temperatures and allows
interrogation of heat trace status, alerts the operator to alarm and trip events, and
allows the changing of the operating parameters and system configuration.
The TCM18 is designed to be mounted internal to the panel on a panel swing out
or on the panel door (if indoors), or behind an instrument access door if outdoors.
TCM18 module nominal dimensions are as follows:
