Applications for Thermon Tracenet/Terminator ECM Electronic Control Module

The Terminator ECM is an electronic control module specifically designed for controlling electric heat trace circuits used in freeze protection and temperature maintenance applications.

Control Units for Electrical Heat Tracing Systems
Trace Heating Cables
Trace Heating for frost protection
Heat Tracing Systems and Control

Available in both pipe (XP) and wall (WP) mount options. The ECM serves both the temperature control as well as the sensor and power connection for a heat trace circuit.

The ECM is housed in a glass reinforced nonmetallic enclosure with an environmental protection rating of IP66.

Depending on options selected, the ECM may be used as a combination temperature control and limiter, a temperature controller, or a temperature limiter. Rotary switches are provided for adjusting temperature control and limiter set points. The standard version of the ECM communicates on a physical network of RS485 by using a Mod-bus RTU communication protocol. Additionally, two alternate communication network options are available:
CAN-Bus or 4-20 mA output.

The ECM is approved for use in both ordinary (nonclassified) and hazardous (classified) areas.
The ECMOS is available in a stainless steel junction box for use in offshore applications.
