Control Panel w/ TS-1 Temperature Sensor for Snow & Ice Melting Installations

The MSC-1control panel manages snow and ice melting systems for sidewalks, driveways, gutters and downspouts. Suitable for controlling heating cables and mats, the MSC-1 can monitor snow and ice accumulation in three separate snow melting application zones. The MSC-1 programming allows each zone to be controlled independently or on a priority basis.

The MSC-1 can access information from three different types of moisture sensors - surface (in-ground), aerial and gutter - and one type of temperature sensor. The surface, aerial and gutter sensors detect moisture (snow, ice, sleet, etc.) and send appropriate signals to the MSC-1. Similarly, the temperature sensor sends temperature data back to the MSC-1. Independent temperature and moisture information is processed by the MSC-1 to ensure that heating equipment will only be energized during freezing conditions. Each MSC-1 must have a temperature sensor, TS-1, in order to function. The TS-1 is included with each MSC-1.

The TS-1 temperature sensor measures outside temperatures and is placed in the area that best represents the outdoor temperature conditions. The TS-1 operates on low voltage provided by the MSC-1 control unit and allows the MSC to determine when to activate snowmelting or de-icing equipment. Easily affixed to a wall or fascia by two screws, the TS-1's small size and neutral color allows the sensor to discreetly blend with almost any background. The TS-1 is supplied with 10' (3.05m) of connection wire which may be extended up to 500' (152.40m) with an appropriately rated 18 - 20 AWG 3 wire unshielded cable Features:

• Automatic snow/ice melting control
