The Nelson Heat Trace CM-2201 is designed to monitor and
control one heating circuit in ordinary and Class I, Division 2,
Class I, Zone 2, and Zone 2 hazardous locations.
The CM-2202 can monitor/control two heating circuits in
those same locations.
This manual provides information pertaining to the Installation,
operation, testing, communications and maintenance of these
controllers. See Appendix A for detailed specifications
1.2
Getting Started
The CM-2201/CM-2202 is typically connected to external RTDs,
power or communication based on Appendix B and C. Detailed setup of the operating/control/monitoring
throughout the following sections.
For addition help, call Nelson Technical Support or follow the
Troubleshooting section.
The CM-2201/CM-2202 are designed to operate on input
voltages between 100 and 277 Vac and 50/60Hz. Load
switching is handled by a 2-Pole solid-state relay and can
control resistive loads of 30A continuous @ 40°C ambient.
The CM-2201/CM-2202 are designed to control heating
circuits by monitoring one or two temperature inputs for
each circuit via industry standard 3-wire, 100Ω, Platinum
RTDs. The two separate RTDs for each circuit maybe
utilized to customize the temperature control inputs.
Several different modes are user
sensor failure operational
The CM-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 maintain
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.
3.2
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.
implemented by connecting appropriate jumpers.
Refer to Wiring Diagram in Appendix B for details.
3.3
Mounting
The CM-2201/CM-2202 should be mounted at a convenient
height to suit operator interaction. Conduit entries should
be made in the bottom of the enclosure to prevent damage to
the internal electronics from moisture intrusion. Conduit
entries should be drilled and the use of suitable bushings is
required to maintain the environmental ratings.
3.4
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
power supply for the loads being controlled. For
example, the power supply for the CM-2202 can be 120
VAC while the loads being controlled can be 277 VAC.
Further, the power supply for the CM-2202 may also be
derived from either of the loads being controlled – this is

General Operation
5.2.2 Navigation for CM2202
The CM2202 can monitor/control two separate heating
circuits (channels). The controller defaults to Channel 1
upon first start-up. All parameters for Channel 1 can
be displayed and modified using standard techniques as
described for the CM2201 in Section 5.2.1.
5.2.1 Navigation for CM2201
The CM2201 monitors one heating circuit consisting of
load (typically a heating cable) and controls the load
based on the temperature of the item being heated
(typically a pipe) as provided via one or two RTD’s
attached to the pipe and connected to the controller.
To monitor the load, press

LED Functions
LED indicators will show the status of the respective
functions. The power LED will be illuminated when the
controller is connected to a source voltage. The heater
LED will be illuminated when voltage is applied to any
heater. The system LED will illuminate if there is an
internal hardware issue with the controller. The comm
LED will illuminate when the controller is sending data
through external communication. The alarm LED will
flash when there is a current active alarm condition or any
circuit; the alarm LED will illuminate solid when an alarm
was previously present but is not currently active.

Alarm Management
All alarm(s) will be saved in the alarm log. If no
alarms are active (alarm LED solid red) the Alarm
LED can be turned off by touching “Reset” once for
every alarm that previously occurred. If any alarm is
active (alarm LED flashing red) the user cannot reset
the alarm. The two alarm relays are SSR type. To set
the contacts of the relays go to Settings – Heater
Setup – Alarm contact. By choosing up/down arrow,
the contacts can be selected to function as Normally
Open or Normally Closed. Press “Enter” to save the
selection. Note: By setting the contacts to NC,
these contacts will be open when there is no power
applied to the unit (this can be useful for signaling
loss of power to the unit) OR there is an active
alarm OR there previously was an active alarm that
has not been acknowledged.
5.7
Current-Limiting Feature
The Current-Limiting feature operates similarly to the
Soft-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% ofthetime.
5.8
Ground Faults
Ground faults typically are the result of damaged or
improperly installed cables which allow currentcarrying conductors/surfaces/parts to be in contact
with grounded objects. For example, if a heating
cable has been secured to a pipe with a clamp, and
if the clamp has been overtightened, 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
in overheating/fire/shock hazards. Current leakage to
ground can be monitored by electronic circuitry and
the SPC can be programmed to either alarm or trip
when leakage
The Soft-Start feature enables self-regulating cables to be
energized at low temperatures without causing excessive load
on the electrical system and extending cable life by reducing
cable internal heating due to inrush currents. The
of self-regulating cables decreases as the cables get
colder, which results in higher current and can result in
breaker trips if temperatures are very cold and the
installed length of cable 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 during
this period, the period is usually short enough to reduce
average load on the electrical system.
This short energization period is repeated and eventually
increased; after a few minutes, the cable is usually warm
enough
current decreased to the point where it can be continuously
energized.
The CM-2201/CM-2202 allows the user to select different
control modes based on their individual process control
parameters.
6.2
On-Off Control
This control method simply energizes the cable until the
actual monitored temperature rises to the set point value
plus half the deadband value (upper limit). The cable is then
de-energized until the actual monitored temperature
drops to
the setpoint value minus half the deadband value. Note that
this type of control can result in some temperature
“overshoot;”. This is because the cable is de-energized when
the monitored temperature reaches the upper limit.
However,
the residual heat in the cable continues to transfer to the
pipe, and this will cause the pipe temperature to increase
slightly above the upper limit. Similarly, there can be some
temperature “undershoot.”
6.3
Proportional Control
This control method uses the typical proportional control
algorithm wherein the cable is cycled on and off at a rate
proportional to the difference between the setpoint value and
the actual monitored temperature. As the difference
between the set point value and the actual monitored
temperature increases, the amount of time the cable is
energized increases proportionately. This helps reduce the
“overshoot”and“undershoot”commonly associated with
On/Off control.
B)If the Temperature setpoint is a specific value
(eg 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.
6.4
Forced Control Feature
This control method simply allows the user to force the
cable on or off as desired using an external signal (eg +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:
If the Temperature setpoint is “OFF” or “None”,

then the heater gets energized by applying the
external signal or closing the external contact.

7.2.2 Maintain Temp
This value sets the control setpoint temperature for all
operating modes. For On-Offcontrol, the circuit is
energized if the control temperature is less than the
maintain temperature minus the deadband. The circuit is
de-energized if the control temperature is greater than
the maintain temperature plus the deadband. If maintain
temp is set to None then the heater circuit will have
temperature monitoring with no control temperature. If the
maintain temp is set to Off then the heater circuit will have
no temperature monitoring or control.
7.2.3 Low Temp Alarm
This value sets the Low Temperature Alarm setpoint. It
must be less than the maintain temperature minus the
Deadband. To disable this alarm set the value to “Off’.
When the measured temperature of either RTDA or RTD
B (if activated) is less than or equal to this setpoint,the
Low Temperature Alarm is activated and a “LOW TEMP
ALARM” message is added to the alarm stack. This
alarm deactivates when the temperature rises above
the alarm setpoint value.
