DESCRIPTION

The nVent RAYCHEM ECW-GF-DP is a remote display panel only
for the RAYCHEM ECW-GF electronic controller. The ECW-GF-DP
allows remote monitoring of the heating cable system operation.
The display has LED indicators which signal communication loss
to the controller, high/low temperature alarm, and temperature
sensor failure. The display also has buttons to test and reset the
ground-fault sensor. The display may be located up to 328 feet
(100 m) from the ECW-GF controller.

The ECW-GF-DP remote display panel must be installed in
conjunction with the ECW-GF controller. Refer to the ECW-GF
installation instructions (H58339) for further details.
