Frost Protection | Heater Tape ENVIROSTAT FP6i X10824 6kW, 230V Frost Protection Controllers 0044 (0) 1704-516 501 enquiries@united-automation.com www.united-automation.com CONTACT US: KEY FEATURES: The ENVIROSTAT FP6i-230V is a 6kW electronic frost protection controller designed to provide reliable, energy-efficient freeze protection for pipework, valves, tanks, and other critical equipment. By automatically controlling heater tapes or infrared (IR) quartz heaters, it helps prevent frost damage while reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Featuring an integrated 2m temperature sensor, soft-start switching, output and load fault detection, and a Building Management System (BMS) alarm relay, the FP6i offers enhanced system monitoring and dependable operation in demanding commercial and industrial environments. Housed in a robust IP65 enclosure, the ENVIROSTAT FP6i is easy to install, virtually maintenance-free, and built with solid-state reliability for long-term performance in indoor and outdoor frost protection applications. Automatic frost protection for heater tape and infrared heating systems Controls load up to 6kW (25A) Adjustable temperature ranges from 0°C to +20°C Integrated 2m encapsulated temperature sensor Soft-start function for gradual load energisation IP65 weather-resistant enclosure Output and load fault detection Sensor open-circuit and short- circuit monitoring Power, output, and alarm LED indicators Building Management System (BMS) alarm relay Solid-state electronics for maintenance-free reliability Simple installation and setup TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (All models unless otherwise stated) Supply voltage 230V ac +/- 10% Supply frequency 50Hz Power switching capacity 6kW max. Load current 25A max. Temperature range 0°C to +20°C Temperature accuracy 1°C Current consumption 16mA Soft start duration 1 second Output and load fault detection Only on FP6i model (see ALARMS section for details) Power and output LED indicators (see ALARMS section for details) Supply terminal connections 0.2 to 6mm² rising clamp Gland cable entry 10.5 & 8mm Ø (Note: cable MUST be round to ensure IP rating) Ambient operating temperature -ْْC Ingress protection (IP) rating IP65 Built in Sensor Encapsulated 10kΩ NTC thermistor probe, 2m long Sensor Monitoring FP6i: open or short circuit - unit shuts down and alarms Sensor terminal connections 0.1 to 1.5mm² rising clamp Sensor mounting To secure to pipe etc., use appropriately sized nylon cable ties Building Management System (BMS) Alarm relay is normally energised when the system is ‘healthy’ (for FP6i) Dimensions Enclosure dimensions (mm) 120(W) x 120(L) x 65(H) Fixing holes and centres 4 x 4.8mm Ø holes on fixing centres 110(W) x 90(L)mm APPLICATIONS: Ideal for automatic frost protection of: Pipework Water supply systems Process pipework Trace heating systems Heater tape installations Infrared quartz heating systems Valves and manifolds Storage tanks Commercial buildings Industrial facilities HVAC frost protection systems

Position the sensor to measure the air temperature where required, or use cable ties to fix the sensor to a pipe etc. Operation Set the Set Point Temperature using the main knob. When the ambient temperature drops below the set point temperature, the load output soft-starts for 1 second before the main output relay energises, the output LED will be lit. When the ambient temperature is equal to or greater than the set point temperature, the load output switches off, and the output LED will be off. Alarms (HC4i model only) The unit can detect an open-circuit or short-circuit temperature sensor. In addition to this, the unit tests the output immediately at power up and every four hours thereafter. The output will switch off momentarily during a test. Normal operation will resume once the test is complete. Alarm relay fitted to FP6i model (see specifications, BMS) . The unit can detect the following faults: 1. Open-circuit/short-circuit temperature sensor. 2. Open-circuit load. 3. Short-circuit semiconductor device or relay. 4. Open-circuit semiconductor device or relay. In all the above cases, the alarm LED will flash. For the temperature sensor alarm , the rate is approximately one-tenth of a second, and for the output/load alarm, the rate is approximately half a second. Installation Wiring The diagram shows the wiring connections and cable entry – FP6i shown. NOTE: the glands MUST be tightened to ensure the IP rating. The ‘set point’ control dial is also shown.
