1.1 RAYCHEM NGC30
1.1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This manual describes how both the Raychem NGC-20 and Raychem NGC-30 can be programmed via the User Interface Terminal (NGC-UIT2-EX). The Raychem NGC-20 and Raychem NGC-30 are part of the same family of controllers.
The Raychem NGC-20 is a compact networked single point heat-trace controller with an approved integral safety temperature limiter (SIL 2). The controller is approved for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas and can be mounted directly on the heat-traced pipe. Up to 247 individual Raychem NGC-20 controllers can be connected in a single RS-485 multi drop “daisy chained” network and communicate to a central user interface, the NGC-UIT2-EX. Up to two temperature sensors can be connected directly to the controller. The limiter has its own temperature sensor.
The Raychem NGC-30 is a multipoint electronic control, monitoring and power distribution system for heat-tracing used in process-temperature maintenance and freeze-protection applications. The Raychem NGC-30 system can control up to 260 heat-tracing circuits with multiple networked panels. Each panel can control up to 40 individual heat-tracing circuits and monitor up to 128 temperature inputs, with optional power distribution. The Raychem NGC-30 is available with two output types: Electromechanical Relays (EMRs) or Solid-State Relays (SSRs). Both types allow switching up to 60 amps at 600 Vac with single or three-phase power. Up to four Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensor inputs for each heat-tracing circuit allows for a variety of combinations of temperature control, monitoring, and alarming. Systems can be configured for nonhazardous and hazardous locations. The ability to monitor and configure the controller is available both locally and remotely with the Raychem Supervisor software.

1.1.2 CONTROL NGC-30
The Raychem NGC-30 measures temperatures with 3-wire, 100-ohm platinum RTDs connected directly to the unit, or through optional Remote Monitoring Modules (RMM2 module). Each RMM2 module accepts up to eight RTDs. The RMM2 modules are typically located near the desired measurement location (RTDs). Multiple RMM2 modules are networked over a single cable to the NGC-30, significantly reducing the cost of RTD field wiring. The NGC-30 system supports 260 temperature inputs via the CRM/CRMS boards. Using RMM2 modules, an additional 128 temperature inputs can be supported for a maximum of 388 temperature inputs. With EMRs and SSRs, the NGC-30 can be configured for On/Off, ambient sensing, and proportional ambient sensing modes. Additionally, with SSRs, the panel can be configured for proportional, power limiting, and soft start modes.

1.1.3 MONITORING
Both Raychem NGC-20 and Raychem NGC-30 can monitor multiple independent Electrical Heat­Tracing (EHT) parameters. The Raychem NGC-20 and Raychem NGC-30 monitor continuously temperature, voltage, current and ground fault current leakage and report the values including alarms to the UIT. An automated self-check feature is available where the systems periodically checks the heating cables for faults and report the result to the UIT. This helps to avoid costly downtime. Dry contact relays are provided for alarm annunciation back to a Distributed Control System (DCS).
1.1.4 GROUND-FAULT PROTECTION ACCORDING TO NORTH AMERICAN ELECTRICAL CODE NEC STANDARD
National electrical codes require ground-fault equipment protection on all heat-tracing circuits. Heat-tracing circuits equipped with Raychem NGC-30 controllers do not require additional ground-fault detection equipment, simplifying installation and reducing costs. When applying the IEC standards, additional RCD circuit breaker is required.
1.1.5 INSTALLATION
The Raychem NGC-30 system is configured with a User Interface Terminal (NGC-UIT2-EX) that has LCD color touch-screen display technology. The NGC-UIT2-EX provides a user interface for easy and efficient programming without keyboards or cryptic labels. The NGC-UIT2-EX model used depends on the location of Raychem NGC-30 panel and the local environment.
Common NGC-UIT2 Interface and Programming
The term “NGC-UIT2” in this document refers to any of the available NGC-UIT2 models, regardless of which model is actually installed. All NGC-UIT2s interface to the NGC-30-CRM, NGC-30-CRMS (Card Rack Relay Control Modules), PLI (Power Line carrier Interface), and the RMM2 module (Remote Monitoring Module). The three NGC-UIT2 versions described in Table 1.1 on page 5 all use the same wiring, system interface, and programming. The NGC-UIT2s differ only in the environments in which they can be installed.
NGC-UIT2 Installed in Hazardous and Non-hazardous Indoor or Outdoor Panel Locations
If the panel is located in a hazardous/non-hazardous indoor or outdoor location, the NGC-UIT2-EX model is required. This NGC-UIT2-EX model is specifically designed for these environments and meets all applicable standards. The NGC-UIT2-EX model is installed locally on the Raychem NGC­30 panel door.
NGC-UIT2 Installed Separately from the Panel Locations
If the user interface terminal needs to be mounted separately from the Raychem NGC-30 control panel, such as when the panel is in a hazardous or difficult to access location, the NGC-UIT2­ORD-R provides a wall-mount alternative for remote mounting in a nonhazardous (unclassified) indoor or outdoor location.

1.4 USER RESPONSIBILITIES
The performance, reliability and safety of your heat-tracing system depend on proper design, selection, and installation. The Raychem NGC-UIT2-EX Software will help you configure and monitor a system that meets your requirements, but it is only a tool. It assumes that your input is accurate, that you are familiar with heat-tracing system design and configuration, and that you will ensure that all components of the heat-tracing system are installed, maintained and used as intended. The configuration of the Raychem NGC-UIT2-EX Software should be reviewed by a knowledgeable engineer to ensure it is appropriate for your application. Additional information relating to safety, design, and installation is contained in Design Guides, Installation Manuals, Data Sheets, and other literature available from Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing Solutions. Be sure to consult these documents as needed.
1.5 SAFETY WARNINGS
There are important safety warnings which are shipped with Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing Solutions products and that are also printed in the Raychem NGC-20 Installation Manual (ML-RaychemNGC20CLE-IM-INSTALL130) and Raychem NGC-30 Installation Manual (H57878). Be sure to read and follow these safety warnings to reduce the risk of fire, shock, or personal injury. If you have any questions, contact your local representative or contact Pentair Industrial Heat Tracing Solutions directly.
1.6 WARNING, ERROR AND ALARM MESSAGES
Under certain conditions, the Raychem NGC-30 program will alert the user with a warning or an error message. These are typically either because the program cannot find an acceptable answer based on user input, or because the user may need to take some additional action to ensure the design requirements are completely met. These warnings and error messages are detailed on page 52.

SECTION 2  BASIC CONFIGURATION QUICK START
The following gives an overview of how to implement a simple 4 Circuit system. For greater detail and PLI module configuration, please go to Section 3 – Full Configuration on page 25.
2.1 AN EXAMPLE OF A SIMPLE 4 CIRCUIT SETUP
IMPORTANT: A Configuration Spreadsheet has been developed to assist in the collection of
specific circuit (Circuit) details. This spreadsheet is located in Appendix E. The following is a typical heat-tracing system for a four (4) Circuit Setup:
• Four (4) pipes (Pipe #1, Pipe #2, Pipe #3, Pipe #4)
• Four (4) heaters (one per pipe: Heater #1, Heater #2, Heater #3, Heater #4)
• Four (4) output relays (Relay #1, Relay #2, Relay #3, Relay #4) which control the heater’s
contactors
• Four (4) RTD temperature sensors (RTD #1, RTD #2, RTD #3, RTD #4)
• Four (4) On/Off control modes
This is the first window that appears when the program loads.

Step 3: Setting Up the Network for Device(s)
Go to the Network | Devices window.
Fig. 2.4 Network | Devices window
Press “Update Network”. The NGC-UIT2 will scan all NGC-30-CRMs/-CRMSs, PLI modules, NGC­20 controllers, RMC modules, RMM-DI modules and/or RMM2 modules into the network database.
Once the database exists, no further scanning is done. A device address is the number assigned via the rotary switches on the NGC-30-CRM-CRMS, PLI, RMC, RMM-DI modules or RMM2 module circuit board. See the Raychem NGC-30 Installation Manual (H57878) for more information.
In this example the system found 4 devices. These are:
1) A CRMS board with 4 RTDs installed on position 1, 2, 3, and 4
2) A Raychem NGC-20 controller with 2 RTD connected directly to the controller. The Raychem
NGC-20 is equipped with a limiter (which has its own temperature sensor).
3) RMM with 7 RTDs connected to it.
4) RMM-DI with 15 digital inputs
5) RMC with 2 relays outputs and 2 digital inputs.
IMPORTANT: See page 56 for additional information.
Step 4: Setting up a Circuit
In this manual we set up a circuit on the NGC-30-CRMS controller. For the Raychem NGC-20 controller the same steps can be followed. As the Raychem NGC-20 controller is not identical to the Raychem NGC-30 controller, it is possible that the screens differ.

• Press Enter.
Step 4E: Press on the Mode field and a pop-up window appears, showing all available control modes
Fig. 2.11 Mode window pop-up
Step 4E (continued): Pop-up window for control mode appears
Fig. 2.12 Mode - Select window
At the Mode - SELECT window:
• This pop-up window lets you select a Circuit’s basic operating mode. The NGC-30-CRMS, used
in this example, has the following Control modes available: On/Off, Always On, Always Off, PASC, Voltage and Proportional.
• The On/Off mode is a simple setpoint/dead band operation.
• Press On/Off to select this control mode and return to the Setup Circuit window.

Step 5: Review the Fail Safe setting
Fig. 2.13 Setup|Circuit window and Fail Safe button
At the Setup|Circuit window:
• Pressing the Fail Safe toggle button alternates the Fail Safe mode between Power Off and
Power On. This selection tells the NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS if the heater should be turned on or off if all of the RTD(s) for this Circuit fail.
• If the main concern is to prevent pipes from freezing, then Power On is a good choice. However,
if the heater is oversized and overheating is a concern, then Power Off could be a better choice.
Step 6: Go to Setup | RTDs window
Fig. 2.14 Setup | RTDs window

EN-RaychemNGC30UIT2Programming-AR-H5818602/16
19 / 84
At the Setup|RTD window:
• The Raychem NGC-30 program first checks to see if the default RTD is available. On any
NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS board, the first RTD input is automatically coupled with the first relay output; the second RTD is linked with the second output relay, etc. (In the case an RMC - RMM2 combination is chosen, then the user must define himself which RTD Device address is coupled with the RMC output.)
• Here an RTD has been connected to the RTD 1 terminal block, so the RTD set-up window
indicates the default assignment is already completed.
• There are three blank slots available so you can assign additional RTDs to this output relay. You may desire additional RTDs if you need a more exact temperature sampling for a temperature­sensitive fluid. If you assign additional RTDs, the lowest RTD value from the list will be used for control temperature.
• Each of the four RTDs can be independently set as Control or Monitoring only sensor. If you are using a PLI module with SES-CONT sensors, an additional Continuity mode will be available. See Section 3 for more details.
• See page 33 for information on how to set up additional RTDs. For this simple Circuit Quick Start example, the default set-up RTD is used.
Step 7: Go to the Setup | Temp window
Fig. 2.15 Setup | Temp window
At the Setup|Temp window:
• Input the Setpoint, Dead Band, High Temp Alarm, and Low Temp Alarm by pressing on each of the four numeric fields in turn.
• For this example, the Setpoint temperature is 10°C, a dead band of 3°C and high and low temperature alarms at 149°C and -12°C respectively.
• Use the default value of 900 seconds (15 minutes) for the Temperature Alarm Filter (time delay
before the NGC-30 reports any temperature alarm) and the default value of Disable for the High Temp Cut-Out. To implement the High Temp Cut-Out feature. See “High Limit Cut-Out Entry Field” on page 36.

Step 8: Go to Setup | Electrical
Fig. 2.16 Setup | Electrical
At the Setup | Electrical:
• Input the Ground-Fault Current Alarm and Ground-Fault Current Trip by pressing each of the
two numeric fields in turn.
• For this example, the Ground-Fault Current Alarm and Ground-Fault Current Trip levels are set
to 20 mA and 30 mA respectively. – At less than 20 mA, the Raychem NGC-30 program takes no action. At 20 mA or more
leakage, an alarm is indicated and logged to the Events List.
– At 30 mA the output relay assigned to this Circuit is tripped off.
High Voltage Alarm Entry Screen
If the voltage monitoring module measures line voltage above this threshold, the NGC-UIT2 generates an alarm.
Range: 50 – 305 V Default: 270 V
Low Voltage Alarm Entry Screen
If the voltage monitoring module measures line voltage below this threshold, the NGC-UIT2 generates an alarm.
Range: 50 – 305 V
Default: 90 V

• Input the High Current Alarm and Low Current Alarm by pressing each of the two numeric fields in turn. For this example, High Current Alarm is set to 30 A, and Low Current Alarm is set to 5 A.
WARNING:
Fire Hazard. A ground-fault alarm means the heating cable has been damaged or improperly installed and must not be ignored. Disabling the ground-fault trip function reduces safety and could result in sustained electrical arcing or fire. To minimize the risk of fire if the alarm activates, shut off the power and repair the system immediately
IMPORTANT: Setting 0 for both High and Low Current Alarms completely deactivates the Current Alarm function.
• Power Limit – This is enabled only when SSR control devices are detected (NGC-30-CRMS
panel). A Power Limit setting less than 100% will limit the “on-time” of a constant wattage heater to the percentage indicated in the entry field. This has the effect of lowering the amount of power that the heater can produce.
IMPORTANT: Power Limiting is not recommended if self-regulating heaters are installed.
Step 10: Enable or Disable the Circuit
Fig. 2.17 Circuit 1 enabled
At the Setup|Circuit window with Circuit #1 selected:
• By default, once you program a Circuit, it immediately begins to control the heater based on the
input information.
• If you do not want this Circuit to activate until all Circuits are programmed, go to Setup | Circuit
window and press the Enabled toggle button once, which disables the Circuit. To re-Enable, press the Enable/Disable button again.

SECTION 3  FULL CONFIGURATION
3.1 SETTING THE NETWORK FOR DEVICES
Go to the Network|Device window. For the very first time, the Network screen will be blank. See below:
Fig. 3.1 Initial Network|Device window
Press "Update Network" and scan all NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS boards, RMM2 module and others into the Network database. The Device Addresses for these modules will be scanned and a database will be created. A device address is the number assigned via the rotary switches on the NGC-30-CRM/-CRMS board, RMM2 module, PLI Module, RMC module and RMM-DI module. If an expected device does not appear on the list after the scan is complete, it is most likely physically disconnected from the RS-485 network wiring, or is not powered. Troubleshoot and verify all network and power connections.
Once the database exists, no further scanning is done unless the system is forced to update the network by activating the "Update Network" button.
IMPORTANT: If a new external hardware device is added after the initial scan, you must initiate a manual scan by going to the Network|Devices window and pressing the "Update Network" button.

If a PLI (Power Line Carrier Interface) module is detected in the scanning process, a pop-up window will open, asking whether the PLI Mode should be changed from the default mode of PLI-SES/SPC to the PLI-TT. If a SES or SPC Transmitter is connected to the PLI module, the option "NO" should be selected. The NGC-30 UIT2 indicates this PLI as PLI-SES/SPC. If a 700-TT Transmitter is connected to the PLI module, the option "YES" should be selected. The NGC-30 UIT2 indicates this PLI as PLI-TT.
Fig. 3.2 Set PLI Mode
IMPORTANT: The NGC-30 Control System can support up to 4 PLI Modules. Each PLI module can support up to 127 SES or SPC transmitters and up to 255 700-TT transmitters. The SES/SPC and 700-TT transmitters are not compatible and can not be connected to the same PLI module
The Network will then be updated with the connected devices, in this case with one NGC-30-CRMS board, one RMM2 and one PLI-SES/SPC modules.
