CM3-32 Installation and Operations Manual
II. INSTALLATION
Location
The CM3-32 should be located in a suitable location on a flat and level surface. The enclosure should be bolted to the base and/or wall surface, or adequately supported by other methods to prevent unsafe installation and/or operational conditions.
NEMA Type 12 (IP55)
Enclosures are intended for indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA Type 4 (IP66)
Enclosures are intended for indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose directed water, undamaged by the formation of ice on the enclosure.
NEMA Type 4X (IP66)
Enclosures are intended for indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose directed water, undamaged by the formation of ice on the enclosure.
The basic CM3-32 is designed for use in ordinary, non-classified locations. Protecting electrical equipment in hazardous, classified, locations requires special considerations. NEMA 4 and 4X Panels supplied with a P Suffix are provided with Type Z Purge equipment to ensure safe operation within a hazardous location. The protective gas purge supply must be clean, dry, and free of hydrocarbons or corrosive materials. All protective gas purge supply pressures must be set correctly and all enclosure doors must be closed securely. Purged enclosures must not be opened unless power is removed from the equipment and the area is known to be non-hazardous.
Control Power
The CM3-32 accepts universal voltages of 100-240VAC single phase, 60/50Hz. The panel is equipped with (2) Form C Alarm Relays that are energized during normal operation. Should the panel lose control power or activate an alarm, the relays will de-energize indicating an alarm condition.
Ventilation
The CM3-32 is provided with continuously operating internal circulation fans. These fans are used for static ventilation and aid heat dissipation from the enclosure by passive radiation and convection. The accumulation of heat in an enclosure is potentially damaging to electrical and electronic devices. Overheating can shorten the life expectancy of costly electrical components or lead to premature failure.
Conduit Routing
When routing conduit to the CM3-32 enclosure, clear space is provided on the top, right side, and bottom areas. Top entry should be avoided if possible. Top entry provides a potential moisture path to the electronics and interconnecting wiring. If top entry cannot be avoided, do not locate conduit entries directly over any exposed electrical equipment. Drip loops are recommended for all top and/or side entry. A drip loop is a dip or bend in the wiring to block or shed moisture that may follow a wire to the connection point.

sensor readings and compares its value to the programmed setpoint values.
Programmed Setpoint Values:
Setpoint Deadband Hi Temp Lo Temp
All setpoint values must be input in the correct unit selected, the CM-3 does not automatically convert values between units.
Ground Fault Delay
The CM-3 is equipped with a ground fault delay feature that will delay the alarm and trip functions during unidentified transient conditions.
During normal operation, the CM-3 will trip (de-energize) the heat tracing circuit immediately when a high ground fault condition is observed.
In some situations, unidentified transient conditions can lead to nuisance tripping of heater circuits that require manual resetting to maintain plant operations. Some examples of this might be; high dew point conditions during shut down, high amperage circuit wiring in close proximity to heater circuits, motors/compressors wiring in close proximity to heater circuits, high gain antennas, etc. In those situations, the ground fault delay may be used. By turning the GROUND FAULT DELAY switch to < ON >, a 10 second delay is provided to allow those transient conditions to pass without causing false alarms or tripping of the heat tracing circuits.
Safety Warning: It is recommended that any abnormal ground fault leakage conditions be thoroughly investigated before activating this feature.

Maintenance Alerts
The Maintenance Alerts feature on the CM-3 provides operations personnel with an additional tool for scheduling system maintenance. Like similar features found on process control systems, this option monitors each heating cable and looks for trends that relate to future maintenance requirements. This feature is designed to detect possible maintenance situation before programmed alarm thresholds are exceeded.
When active, the CM-3 monitors the actual load current and ground fault leakage of each individual circuit and compares them to their initial values. If a value is outside of the programmed parameters, it records the specific value and triggers a Maintenance Alert message for use by operational personnel.
To activate this feature, press the < ON > side of the MAINT ALERTS switch. Next, input the percentage of initial load current that will trigger a Lo Current maintenance alert. Program the value by pressing the display field for the value to be changed. A Data Entry screen will be displayed. Enter the new value from the keyboard. Press < Enter > when finished.
Each time the heater is cycled, the current and ground fault values are stored. The load current value is compared to the programmed percentage value to determine if any preventive action should be taken. The ground fault value is compared to previous readings looking for increasing levels of leakage that may result in future safety concerns.
