DESCRIPTION

The nVent RAYCHEM ETS-05 electronic surface sensing thermostat
provides accurate temperature control for heating cables. The ETS-05
is available in two versions. The ETS-05-L is for temperatures up to
199°C (390°F), while the ETS-05-H can be used for sensing and control
of temperatures up to 499°C (930°F). The maximum nominal load is
24 A for both thermostats. Temperature setting is accurate via digital
rotary switches inside the enclosure.

The ETS-05 has a LED indicator which indicates the status of the
thermostat (powered on/off), the status of the heat-tracing cable
(powered on/off) and the status of the sensor. In case of sensor
failure the thermostat can switch to an on or off state, depending
upon the users requirement.

The ETS-05 is available in the following versions:

ETS-05 Mount/Box Voltage

ETS-05-L1-A pipe/wall, deep 99-132 VAC -10% 50/60 Hz

ETS-05-L2-A pipe/wall, deep 195-277 VAC -2.5% 50/60 Hz, Um=277V

ETS-05-H1-A wall/bracket, deep 99-132 VAC -10% 50/60 Hz

ETS-05-H2-A wall/bracket, deep 195-277 VAC -2.5% 50/60 Hz Um=277V

For technical support call nVent.

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Terminal Screwdriver

• Flat Screwdriver

• Trimming Knife

MATERIALS REQUIRED

• Certified glands suitable for use with the thermostat enclosure

)

WARNING:

This component must be installed correctly
to ensure proper operation and to prevent
shock or fire. Read these important
warnings and carefully follow all of the
installation instructions.

• To minimize the danger of fire from
sustained electrical arcing if the heating
cable is damaged or improperly installed,
and to comply with the requirements
of nVent, agency certifications, and
the National Electrical Code, ground-

fault equipment protection must be
used. Arcing may not be stopped by
conventional circuit breakers.

• Component approvals and performance
are based on the use of nVent-specified
parts only. Do not use substitute parts or
vinyl electrical tape.

• The black heating cable core and fibers
are conductive and can short. They must
be properly insulated and kept dry.

• Damaged bus wires can overheat or
short. Do not break bus wire strands when
scoring the jacket or core.

• Keep components and heating cable ends
dry before and during installation.

• Use only fire resistant insulation materials,
such as fiberglass wrap or flame-retardant
foam.

Enclosure Installation RAYCHEM ETS-05 Thermostat

(For Pipe Stand Installation please refer to H59250)

• The heating cable can be directly terminated to the
thermostat without an intermediate junction box using
the nVent RAYCHEM C75-100-A or HAK-C-100 connection
kits. Only the unheated section of the heater (cold lead)
may protrude into the thermostat enclosure.

• Alternative mounting arrangements are illustrated
(4 mounting holes, 17/64" dia (M6) clearance at

4.2" x 3.2" (106 x 82 mm).

• For optimized temperature control install the unit remote
from sensor bulb. Locate enclosure at appropriate place
to avoid exposure to mechanical and thermal damage

(donot mount on pipe for high temperatures).

WARNING: When working in damp or wet conditions

protect the thermostat contents from water ingress
by closing lid when not working on the assembly.

Location of the sensor RAYCHEM ETS-05 (whenequipped)

• As indicated in the system design documentation.

• Away from valves, flanges, supports, pumps, or other
heat sinks.

• At the top of the pipe for thermally sensitive pipe
contents (A).

• On lower quadrant of pipe 90° for single heating cable (B).

• On lower quadrant of pipe centrally between the heating
cables if there are two are more (C).

Typical Wiring Diagram for Direct Switching

Attachment of the sensor RAYCHEM ETS-05

• Fix sensor firmly on surface with adequate fixing tape in
two places (D)

• Fix sensor parallel to pipe (D)

• Route extension cable to avoid damage in use. Fix to
pipe with adequate tape where appropriate.

WARNING: Do not install sensor at ambient

temperatures below –4°F (–20°C). Do not bend
sensor (last 2 in / 50 mm), keep it straight under all

circumstances. Minimum bending radius for High
Temperature Mineral Insulated Sensor extension
cable: 6x diameter.

* Circuit breaker configurations may vary
according to local standards/requirements

5

Complete installation RAYCHEM ETS-05

• Ensure that the pipe and sensor are thermally insulated
and clad to the design specification after installation of
thermostat. Seal cladding with sealant (A).

• When thermostat installation is complete, test as
described in the Testing & Commissioning Section.
Retain this instruction for future use, e.g. setting,
testing, maintenance etc.

digital switches to switching temperature (°C). Locate lid
and tighten lid screws.

ETS-05-Lx

WARNING: Ensure thermostat is isolated elsewhere

for a minimum of 1 minute before opening.

Note: Temperature setpoint is in °C. To convert

°F to °C use the formula (°F -32) x 0.56"

Testing, Commissioning, and Maintenance

Test heating cable when thermostat installation is complete
as directed in RAYCHEM Installation and Maintenance
manual. Maintain thermostat during normal plant
maintenance.

CHECK:

• Mounting is firm

• Exposed extension cable is not damaged

• Gland sealing washer is in place

• Gland seal (grommet) is in place.

• Gland body and nut(s) are tightened firmly.

ETS-05-Hx

• Thermostat operation is correct.

• Thermostat setting suits application.

• Lid is closed firmly.

• Cable type is correct (Insulation > 277 V and temperature
