The MSC-1 Control Panel manages snow
and ice melting systems for sidewalks,
driveways, gutters and downspouts. Suitable
for controlling heating cables and mats, the
MSC-1 can monitor snow and ice accumulation
in three separate snow melting application
zones. The MSC-1 programming allows each
zone to be controlled independently or on a
priority basis.
General
The MSC-1 is housed in an enclosure suitable for
commercial/industrial applications and features an LCD
display, programming and associated indicator lights for
operation of each zone.
The control signal relays operate external contactors.
