Sensors for MSC-1
TheMSC-1canaccessinformationfromthreedifferenttypesofmoisturesensors—surface(in-ground),aerialandgutter—and
one type of temperature sensor. The surface, aerial and gutter sensors detect moisture—snow, ice, sleet, etc.—and send
appropriate signals to the MSC-1. Similarly, the temperature sensor sends temperature data back to the MSC-1. Independent
temperatureandmoistureinformationisprocessedbytheMSC-1toensurethatheatingequipmentwillonlybeenergized
duringfreezingconditions.EachMSC-1musthaveatemperaturesensor,TS-1,inordertofunction.TheTS-1(seebelow)
is included with each MSC-1.
ForeachoftheMSC-1controlzonesuptotwoindividualmoisturesensorscanbeconnected,howeverforeachzoneonly
one of these may be an in-ground sensor.
Temperature Sensor(TS-1)
The TS-1 sensor measures outside temperatures and is placed in the area that best
represents the outdoor temperature conditions. Each MSC-1 includes a TS-1 temperature
sensor. The TS-1 operates on low voltage provided by the MSC-1 control unit and allows
theMSCtodeterminewhentoactivatesnowmeltingorde-icingequipment.Easilyaffixed
to a wall or fascia by two screws, the TS-1’s small size and neutral color allows the sensor
to discreetly blend with almost any background.
TheTS-1issuppliedwith10'(3.05m)ofconnectionwirewhichmaybeextendedupto500'
(152.40m)withanappropriatelyrated18–20AWG3wireunshieldedcable.
