Snow Melting Sensors Description

The AIR-SS-2 Aerial-Mounted Snow Sensor provides versatile and cost-effective automatic snow detection for snow melting and roof and gutter deicing systems. Easy to install, the AIR-SS-2 Aerial-Mounted Snow Sensor is appropriate for use with the SC-MZ-TOUCH, SCP-120, and SCA-DUAL controls. It senses both ambient temperature and precipitation, detecting falling or blowing snow at temperatures below 38°F (3.3°C). The included 16-inch, 3-conductor, 18 AWG lead allows for flexibility of installation, allowing sensors to be located at a distance up to 500 feet away from the controller using 22-gauge wires and up to 1000 feet using 18 gauge wires.

Frequently Asked Questions

After installation the sensor can be tested by cooling the sensor base with either ice (do not immerse the sensor in ice water, it is not water proof) or freeze mist. Locate the internal temperature sensor by first locating the indexing tab (see page 5 of the manual) and apply the mist to the base of the sensor on the opposite side of the indexing tab.

Once the unit is cooled continue by placing a drop of water on the moisture grid. If testing in the winter and the temperature is below 38°F (3.3°C), then simply placing a drop of water or a small amount of snow on the moisture grid will start a heating cycle. To stop the cycles, simply turn off the power for 5 to 10 seconds and then turn it back on.
