CircuitTrace

A defined path from an alarm condition to the branch that needs review.

CircuitTrace supports service teams when a system alarm calls for investigation. The selected locating architecture, sensing components and branch schedule determine how an event is associated with an outgoing circuit.

SYSTEM ROLE

What this family is designed to do.

CircuitTrace uses the selected sensing method and branch schedule to associate an insulation event with a monitored outgoing circuit.

INSTALLATION

Plan the evaluator and sensing components alongside the panel circuit schedule. Keep each sensor assignment consistent across panel labels, drawings, room names and the service record.

BEFORE SPECIFICATION

Resolve the project inputs early.

Bring the answers into the one-line diagram, equipment schedule and alarm plan.

How many outgoing branches need to be individually identified?
Can the sensing components be installed with the planned conductor layout?
Do panel schedules and alarm labels use the same branch names?
