TheCM-2201 and CM-2202 can be operated in
temperatures of -40°F to +104°F (-40°C to +40°C)
The CM-2201/CM-2202 must be installed only in areas for
which it has been approved and in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes and ordinances. All conduit entry
holes must be appropriately installed and sealed to
ingress protection rating.
Do not install this unit prior to functional testing if shipping
container or internal packaging shows signs of damage.
Notify the appropriate individuals immediately if damage is
suspected.
3.1
Selecting Installation Location
The CM-2201/CM-2202 should be installed in an area
protected from the elements as much as possible. It is
possible to install the unit in unprotected areas but such
often limits maintenance/access. Further, installation in
unprotected areas must be carefully considered to ensure it
is always in operating conditions consistent with
specifications. See Appendix A for additional details.
3.2
Mounting
The CM-2201/CM-2202 should be mounted at a convenient
height to suit operator interaction.
(See Appendix D for mounting details.)
Conduit entries should be made in the bottom of the
enclosure to

and the use of suitable bushings is required to maintain the
environmental ratings.
3.3
Wiring
Electrical wiring diagrams and schematics are provided in
Appendix B and C of this manual. Ensure that all wiring
and connections are in accordance with applicable wiring
codes. Enclosure grounding must be in accordance with
applicable wiring codes for non-metallic devices.
The power supply for the CM-2201 is derived from the
power provided for the load. However, the power supply for
the CM-2202 can be provided independent of the
supply for the loads being controlled. For

Power-Limiting Feature
The Power-Limiting feature operates similarly to the
Start in that it restricts the amount of time the cable is
energized during any given period thereby reducing the
average current draw of the cable during that period.
For example, if a cable normally draws 8 Amps, but current
limit is set to 6 Amps, then the cable would be energized
only 75% of the time.
5.7
Ground Faults
Ground faults typically are the result of damaged or
improperly installed cables which allow current-carrying
conductors/ surfaces/pa rt s to b e in co nta ct wi th gr ou nd ed
objects.
For example, if a heating cabl e has bee n secur ed to a pipe
with a clamp, and if the clamp has bee n overtig hte ned,
then the ground braid and/or the pipe may come in
contact with current carrying parts within the cable. This
would result in current leakage to ground through the
ground braid of the cable and/or the pipe itself. This type of
fault can eventually become serious, resulting
overheating/fire/shoc k hazar ds. Current leakage to
can be monitored by electronic circuitry and the SPC/DPC can
be programmed to either alarm or trip when leakage
current exceeds the specified maximum
allowable amount.
5.9 Soft-Start Feature
The Soft-Start feature enables self-regulating cables to
be ener gized at low temperatur es without causing excessive
load on the electrical system and extending cable life by
reducing cable internal heat ing due to inrush cu r rent s . The
resistance of self-regulating cables decreases as the
cables get colder, which results in higher current and can
result in brea ker trips if temp eratures are ve ry cold and
the instal led le ngt h of c ab le is long . The Soft-Start feature
operates by initially only energizing the cable for a very short
period of time – while the current draw may be high du ring
this period, the period is usually short enough to reduce
average load on the elect rical syste m .
This short energizatio n p eriod is repeated and eventually
increased; after a few minutes, the cable is usually warm
enough such that the resistance has increased and the
current decreased to the point where it c an be conti nuou s ly
energized.
The CM-2201/CM-2202 allows the user to select different
control modes based on their individual process control
parameters.
6.1
On-Off Control
This control method simply energizes the cable until the
actual monitored temperature rises to the setpoint value
plus half the deadband value (upper limit). The cable is then
de-energized until the actual monitored temperature
setpoint value minus half the deadband value. Note that this
type of control can result in some temperature “overshoot;”

Proportional Control

6.4 Forced Control Feature
This control me thod sim pl y allow s the user to for ce the cab le on or
off as desired using an external signal (e.g. +5 VDC or 24 VAC)
applied to the IN and G terminals or an external dry contact across
the +5V and IN terminals. The External Disable must be set to
“ON” to allow for external control, at which point the controller
operates as follows:
A) If the Temperature setpoint is “OFF” or “None”, then the
heater gets energized by applying the external signal or closing the
external contact.
B) If the Temperature setpoint is a specific value (ex. 55C),
then the setpoint will be maintained as per normal operation ONLY
when the external signal is present, or the external contact is
closed – otherwise, the heater will be disabled.

7.4.4 Ground Fault Test
This function will test the ground fault trip function of
the controller to ensure proper operation. When
selected, the controller will generate an artificial
ground fault current; if
sensed as being greater than 30
The GF test function will verify actual ground fault
current and heater trip. Status of the test will be
displayed as pass or fail. If this test has been
invoked by the “Now” option and it passes, the user is
prompted to

this test has been invoked by the “Autotest” option
and it passes, the load is allowed to be reenergized as
required. If this test has been invoked by the Autotest
cycle and it fails, an Autotest alarm is generated but
the load is allowed to be re-energized as required.

To check if any alarm is activated, send the
following instruction:
2.
The controller will answer with value 0x02 (High
Temperature Alarm) active Alarm
3.
Once the alarm condition has been resolved, the
alarm can be cleared by sending the following
instruction: “04 05 0045 FF00 9C4C”
At this point the controller enters the alarm into
the alarm log memory and clears the active
alarm. To check the alarm log memory, see
below.
Select the serial port that corresponds to your RS-485 adapter.
USB to Serial adapter may be used for devices without serial connections.

If the command to check if any alarm is
activated (as shown in (1) above) is now sent to
the controller, and assuming no other alarms
have since been activated, the controller will
answer with 0x0000 (no active alarms).

To check the alarm log memory, issue the
following instructions:

The High Temperature Alarm will be listed
here, so the controller will answer 0x02. The
Alarm log can hold 20 alarms. After 20 alarms
the oldest alarm will be erased to allow for
storage of the new alarm. To erase all alarms on
alarm log, see below.

To erase all alarms on the Alarm log from the
remote terminal, send the following instruction:
04 05 0097 FF00 3D83
