ASE DS-2C : Rain/Snow Melt Sensor Controller, Integral Precipitation Sensor, 100-277VAC Input Power, Control: 1 x 30A @ 277VAC / 1 x 20A @ 28VDC
The DS-2C Rain/Snow Melt Sensor Controller provides reliable and efficient control for automated snow melting solutions 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 of intelligent snow control systems.
- 100-277VAC Input Power: Compatible with various electric snow melting systems, the DS-2C offers 30A or 20A control output to manage large-scale driveway snow melt or roof deicing setups.
- Temperature-Based Control: Adjustable trigger temperature from 34°F to 44°F (1°C to 6°C) differentiates between rain and snow, activating systems as needed for precise snow detection technology.
- Delay-Off Drying Cycle: The built-in Delay-Off feature keeps systems running after precipitation ends, allowing surfaces to dry completely and preventing refreezing\u2014perfect for outdoor heating sensors.
- Manual Override Switch: Easily test or manually operate the system using the "Automatic," "Manual On," and "Standby/Reset" modes for a seamless user experience.
- Sensitivity Adjustment: Fine-tune the sensor's sensitivity to reduce false triggers caused by high winds or snow drifts, ensuring accurate operation in smart snow sensor setups.
- 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: Safeguards walkways, driveways, and roofs from potential damage caused by ice formation and freeze-thaw cycles, making it an excellent addition to automated snow melting solutions.
- Convenience & Efficiency: Automatically activates the heating system when needed, eliminating the need for manual snow removal or deicing, while minimizing energy use with smart snow melt control.
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 create a worry-free, safe, and efficient winter solution.
