Data sheet ETS
Controller For Snow Melting Systems
Application:
ETS is a 24 volt snow melting controller capable
of switching an outdoor heating system on/off
based on temperature and precipitation. Snow
melt controller applications can include snow
removal in walkways, steps, driveways, garage
entrances, gutters, loading platforms or other
locations where ice and snow accumulation is
a problem. ETS detects outdoor temperature,
ground temperature, and moisture, and
energizes electrical relays when snow or ice
occurs. The system’s heat source can be either
hydronic or electric heating cables (with the use
of an external relay).
Features:
• Electronic on/off control
• Detects moisture and temperature, or
temperature only
• Choice of ground, gutter, or outdoor sensor
• Several sensors can be connected to the
controller
• Selection of either temperature or
temperature/moisture activation of
controller
