You need to submit the full model number to Spirax Sarco China channels to obtain the original factory selection sheet.Input accuracy: 0.1% FS, high stability for temperature / pressure measurement, suitable for steam, agua caliente, heat exchange station, sterilization and clean steam applications

Heat exchange stations, steam desuperheating and pressure reduction, clean steam, esterilizadores, hot water temperature control, boiler TDS / blowdown control, condensate recovery system regulation.

Spirax Sarco GS25039 (GS-X Series, Document Reference: TI-P794-01 / IM-P794-03)

Nota importante: GS25039-1-10-1810-FC is a factory pre-configured FC version. Terminal layout follows the general GS-X base board, while I/O modules (-1, -10) are order-selected options. Always refer to the terminal label printed on the back of the controller itself for on-site wiring. The general terminal definitions below shall not replace the nameplate of this unit.

Standard Terminal Wiring Definition (General GS-X)

Terminales de potencia

l / norte: AC power supply 100–240 V AC wide range

Tierra de protección PE: Instrument shield ground. Connect the shield of sensor cable only to this terminal at the controller side; do not ground both ends.

Advertencia: Low voltage sensor loops (PT100, 4–20 mA) must not be connected with 220 V AC and shall be isolated.

Sensor Input (IP1 Primary Input, IP2 Auxiliary Input)

PT100 (3-wire RTD, most common for temperature)

IP1+, IP1-, IP1-R: 3-wire RTD. Use shielded instrument cable for long runs and keep wire resistance balanced.

4–20 mA transmitters (presión / nivel)

IP1+ / IP1-: Señal actual. The controller provides isolated 24 V DC transmitter supply (SU+, SU-) and can directly power Spirax Sarco pressure / transmisores de temperatura.

Par termoeléctrico: IP1+, IP1-. Cold junction compensation parameters need to be set.

Digital DI (DIO1, DIO2)

Dry contact digital input (valve feedback, external interlock, remote start/stop), passive contact with internal pull-up.

Salida de control (OP1 / OP2 for main PID output, OP3 alarm relay)

Sufijo -10 in your model typically means isolated 4–20 mA analogue output (D1) for driving valve positioners such as SP7.

OP1+ / OP1-: 4–20 mA control output (aislado), connected to valve positioner

OP3 (COM / NO / CAROLINA DEL NORTE): C-type alarm relay for high/low limit alarm and fault interlock

Other optional output types: Relé (R), bidirectional thyristor (t), logic output (l), determined by order code.

Comunicación

RS485: A / B, Modbus RTU

Ethernet RJ45 port: Native high-speed Ethernet for iTools configuration, SCADA and IIoT upload. FC pre-configured units usually come with preset IP address.

Notas sobre especificaciones de cableado

Separate sensor cables and power cables in different cable trays to avoid interference.
Shield cable rule: Shield grounded only at the controller end; leave the sensor end floating.
Par de apriete de terminales: 0.4 Nuevo Méjico, conductor cross-section: 0.5–1.5 mm²
Apagar antes de cablear. Verify I/O configuration and rear label before power-on. FC factory-configured units may differ from standard templates.
Troubleshooting Checklist for GS-X Steam PID Controller

Preoperación: Back up parameters first. Use Spirax iTools software for backup to avoid configuration loss.

Síntoma de falla	Posibles causas	Pasos para solucionar problemas
① No display when powered on	1. Loss of supply, voltaje por debajo 90 VACACIONES; 2. Fusible interno fundido; 3. Loose power terminals; 4. Poor panel cable connection	Measure L-N AC voltage with multimeter; check terminals after power-off; inspect internal fuse; confirm it is not a 24 V DC model mistakenly wired to AC supply
② “OPEN / SENSOR” sensor break alarm	Broken RTD, open 4–20 mA loop, polaridad invertida, no transmitter supply, excessive wire resistance	1. Disconnect sensor and simulate signal at input terminal (PT100 resistance / 4 mA signal); 2. Check SU+ 24 salida V; 3. Verify three-wire resistance balance for 3-wire PT100; 4. Inspect cable damage
③ Unstable reading, drifting or fluctuating PV	Incorrect shield grounding, parallel routing with power cable, unstable transmitter supply, aged sensor, oxidized terminals	Separate power and signal cables; correct single-point grounding; retighten terminals; replace sensor for comparison test
④ PID no output, valve stays idle, PV/SV normal	Wrong output mode (manual / auto / locked), hardware-output mismatch, open output loop, faulty positioner, triggered DI interlock	Switch to manual mode and force output to check 4–20 mA; verify output type in configuration; measure current at OP terminals; check DI interlock status; test valve positioner independently
⑤ Temperature / pressure hunting, unstable control	Mismatched PID parameters, auto-tune not performed, large valve dead band, long steam loop lag, too small PV filter	Run Auto-tune first; increase integral time appropriately; check valve for sticking; increase PV filter; use Spirax Sarco native steam algorithm for steam systems
⑥ OP3 alarm relay continuously energized / false alarm	Wrong alarm threshold, incorrect alarm logic (alto / bajo / falla del sensor), DI interlock alarm, latched alarm not reset	Enter alarm menu and read alarm code; confirm alarm latch status; check PV range; clear alarm latch
⑦ Communication failure (RS485 / Ethernet)	Mismatched IP / dirección de la estación, inconsistent baud rate, cable dañado, reversed A/B wiring, firewall / switch isolation, iTools password lock	Check communication parameters; fit termination resistor for RS485 bus; ping Ethernet; FC factory-configured units have OEM encryption and firmware flash is not allowed
⑧ Panel keys no response	Keylock enabled, damaged panel, firmware exception	Unlock keypad; ciclo de energía; read firmware status via iTools; do not flash generic firmware for FC custom firmware
⑨ Parameters lost after reboot	Configuration not saved, failed internal backup battery, flash memory fault	Save after every modification and back up via iTools; return for repair if parameter loss recurs

Steam-Specific Troubleshooting for GS-X
Desuperheating / heat exchange: PV fluctuation should first check blocked sampling pipe, condensate accumulation and sampling point in turbulent zone, not controller fault.
Valve position feedback: If valve position feedback is fitted, check 4–20 mA feedback loop; broken feedback will trigger valve position fault alarm.
FC = Factory Configured: Steam dedicated logic preloaded at factory. Do NOT reset to factory default, otherwise custom steam control logic will be lost and only Spirax Sarco can reissue configuration file.
Safe Maintenance Sequence
Isolate power, apply lockout-tagout
Inspección visual (terminales, cables, condensación; high humidity in steam room easily causes terminal corrosion)
Continuity and insulation test
Inject simulated signal separately to distinguish sensor fault or controller body fault
Read alarm logs via iTools (alarm log is the most reliable fault source)
Check alarm code table first if alarm code exists

Observaciones importantes
The manufacturer does not publish a complete list of all combinations. Many combinations are project-specific order codes only retrievable from Spirax Sarco internal selection system.
GS-X1/X2/X3 share the same software core and iTools compatibility, differing in terminal layout and I/O capacity.
Do NOT reset FC factory-configured units to factory default, custom steam logic will be lost and only the manufacturer can reissue configuration.
Supported protocols: Modbus RTU (RS485), Modbus TCP (Ethernet), compatible con SCADA, BMS and iTools.
