Installation Manual

The ElectroMelt snow controller features a single snow sensor and a control
panel to automatically control the operation of heating cables. The sensor
detects snow as precipitation occurs at temperatures below 38°F. The panel
provides an adjustable hold-on timer, which allows the heating cable to contin-
ue to operate even after snow stops. This timer ensures complete melting of
snow or ice. The sensor can be located up to 2000 feet from the panel. The
panel has an internal contactor providing two contacts rated for 20 amps.
