Easy Heat Roof & Gutter Deicing Controller

The GC-1 heating cable controller has been designed and manufactured for the sole intended use of controlling heating cables in residential and commercial roof and gutter deicing applications. The GC-1 uses microcontroller technology to reduce energy consumption by energizing the heating cable only when the appropriate temperature and moisture conditions occur. The GC-1 controller includes the MSG-1 sensor, used to detect moisture on roofs and in gutters. Roof moisture detection is made with the unique sensor wire design; the sensing grid on the bottom of the MSG 1 detects gutter moisture. The MSG-1 housing sits directly in the gutter and the sensor wire is secured to the roof. The combination roof and gutter detection system provides quick detection of potentially damaging roof and gutter icing conditions. If the temperature is below 3°C (38°F) and the MSG-1 sensor detects moisture, the controller will apply power to the heating cable. The cable remains energized until 3 hours (hold time) after the sensor...
