DESCRIPTION

The AIR-SS Snow Sensor detects falling or blowing snow at
temperatures below 38°F (3.3°C). The AIR-SS provides the
industry’s most versatile and cost effective automatic snow
detection when used with the SCP-120 Premium Snow
Melting control.

Reliability and sensitivity are key AIR-SS features. The solid
state design, combined with a rugged aluminum housing
and epoxy potting, ensure years of trouble free service.
Precision precipitation and temperature sensors assure
snow detection accuracy.

Note: Sensor wire must remain separate from any high voltage wire to avoid a distorted sensor signal.

Typical applications include controlling snow melting systems
for sidewalks, driveways, doorways, stairs, loading docks,
ramps for the physically challenged and parking garages.
Low voltage operation, up to 2,000’ (609.6m) separation
from the control panel, mast or roof mounting, and noncritical
extension wiring are just a few of the features making long
distance control possible.
