ASE DS-8C : Rain/Snow Sensor Controller, Remote 10' Cable Precipitation Sensor, 100-277VAC Input Power, Control: 1 x 30A @ 277VAC / 1 x 20A @ 28VDC
The DS-8C Rain/Snow Sensor Controller offers efficient and automatic control for roof and gutter deicing systems, equipped with a high-precision remote moisture sensor that ensures reliable detection of precipitation, helping prevent snow and ice buildup in critical areas like gutters and downspouts.
Key Features:
- Remote Moisture Sensor with 10' Cable: Easily mount in gutters, downspouts, or exposed areas, ideal for roof deicing applications.
- 100-277VAC Input Power: Compatible with various heating systems, offering 30A or 20A control output to handle large-scale walkway and gutter heating.
- Temperature-Based Control: Adjustable trigger temperature from 34°F to 44°F (1°C-6°C) automatically distinguishes between rain and snow, activating systems accordingly.
- Delay-Off Drying Cycle: Keeps systems running after precipitation stops to fully dry surfaces, preventing moisture refreezing.
- Manual Override Switch: Easily test or activate the system using "Automatic," "Manual On," or "Standby/Reset" modes.
- External Control/Monitor Capability: Integrates with smart home systems or other controllers for enhanced convenience.
- Maintenance & Replacement: Routine cleaning of the moisture grid every four months keeps the system running smoothly, with easy replacement using the MG-6 Moisture Grid Assembly.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Prevents slips, falls, and gutter overflow that can damage siding and foundations.
- Improved Accessibility: Ensures safe, ice-free walkways for children, seniors, and those with mobility challenges.
- Property Protection: Protects against cracked concrete, damaged shingles, and leaks caused by ice dams and freeze-thaw cycles.
- Convenience & Efficiency: Eliminates the need for manual shoveling or de-icing, while activating only when necessary to save energy.
Note: The ASE DS-8C 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.
