ASE DS-8C : Rain/Snow Melt Sensor Controller, Remote 10' Cable Precipitation Sensor, 100-277VAC Input Power, Control: 1 x 30A @ 277VAC / 1 x 20A @ 28VDC

ASE DS-8C : Rain/Snow Melt Sensor Controller, Remote 10' Cable Precipitation Sensor, 100-277VAC Input Power, Control: 1 x 30A @ 277VAC / 1 x 20A @ 28VDC

Remote sensor note: If additional precipitation-sensor cable length is required, use the ASE EX-50 extension kit (do not splice extra cable, which can cause erratic operation).

ASE DS Series sensors and controllers are housed in a rugged NEMA 3R enclosure for outdoor use. Internal electronics are specified for -40¡C to +85¡C operation. Line-voltage models (100Ð277VAC input) are ETL Listed to UL 508 / CSA C22.2 No. 14 and meet CE EMC directives.

Unlike potted units, DS controllers are field serviceable Ñ electronics are accessible for configuration/adjustment, and the precipitation sensor/grid can be replaced in the field.

The DS-8C Rain/Snow Melt 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.
