ASE DS-2C : Rain/Snow Sensor Controller, Integral Precipitation Sensor, 100-277VAC Input Power, Control: 1 x 30A @ 277VAC / 1 x 20A @ 28VDC
The DS-2C Rain/Snow Sensor Controller provides reliable and efficient control for snow melting and outdoor heating systems. Its integrated moisture and temperature sensors ensure accurate detection of precipitation, helping to prevent ice and snow buildup in key areas like driveways, walkways, and roofs.
Key Features:
- Integrated Moisture & Temperature Sensors: The DS-2C features an interleaved moisture grid and a temperature sensor, ensuring precise detection of rain or snow for effective operation.
- 100-277VAC Input Power: Compatible with various outdoor heating systems, the DS-2C offers 30A or 20A control output to manage large-scale snow melting or outdoor heating setups.
- Temperature-Based Control: Adjustable trigger temperature from 34°F to 44°F (1°C-6°C) differentiates between rain and snow, activating systems as needed.
- Delay-Off Drying Cycle: The built-in Delay-Off feature keeps systems running after precipitation ends, allowing surfaces to dry completely and preventing refreezing.
- Manual Override Switch: Easily test or manually operate the system using the "Automatic," "Manual On," and "Standby/Reset" modes.
- Sensitivity Adjustment: Fine-tune the sensor's sensitivity to reduce false triggers caused by high winds or snow drifts for more accurate operation.
- Moisture Grid Maintenance: The moisture grid requires simple cleaning every four months for peak performance, with replacement available via the MG-5 "Moisture Grid Assembly."
Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Prevents ice buildup on outdoor surfaces, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
- Property Protection: Protects walkways, driveways, and roofs from potential damage caused by ice formation and freeze-thaw cycles.
- Convenience & Efficiency: Automatically activates the heating system when needed, eliminating the need for manual snow removal or de-icing, while minimizing energy use.
Note: The ASE DS-2C is a smart controller for deicing systems, not the heating element itself. Pair it with heat mats or cables to ensure a worry-free, safe, and efficient winter.
