Product details

The nVent RAYCHEM Elexant 4020i electronic heat tracing control unit.  Elexant 4020i Series is a range of compact, full featured, touch screen based, single point heat tracing controllers, with ground fault protection. It provides control and monitoring for both freeze protection and process temperature maintenance. Available with either an electromechanical relay (EMR) for use in non hazardous areas, or solid state relay (SSR) for use in both non hazardous and ATEX/ IECEx Zone 2, Class I Div. 2  Zone 2 hazardous locations. Capable of controlling up to 63A at 690 V a.c. 

Available in 6 variants:

  1. Elexant 4020i-Mod-IS (4020i Control Module, Single Phase, IS Barriers on RTD Inputs)
  2. Elexant 4020i-Mod-IS-PRF (4020i Control Module, Single Phase, IS Barriers on RTD Inputs, ProfiBus protocol)
