DS-9C Roof & Gutter Sensor-Controller with 2x30A capacity 120-277VAC
Your snow melting system will work best if it is connected to an automatic sensor & control.
The DS-9C Snow Sensor-Controller activates your heating mats or cables when it detects snow based on the presence of both low temperature and precipitation. It has a moisture sensor with a 10-Ft cord which can be mounted open to the sky OR used as a gutter sensor for roof/gutter applications.
The DS-9C features two 30 Amp contacts (relays) and automatically controls 60 Amps (30 Amps on each relay) of snow melting mats or cables.
If you are familiar with the ProMelt PM-5C, the 9C is an almost identical snow sensor with the sameload handling capacity AND the sensor on a cable (instead of fixed mounting on top), which is ideal for use in gutters.
Advantages of the DS-9C Snow Sensor
- Operates in 3 modes: On-Automatic, On-Manual, and Off-Standby-Reset
- Comes with dual 30 Amp load capacity & operates using line voltage of 100-120 V and 200-277 V
- Automatic activation allows you to benefit from lower costs for snow melting and deicing compared to systems without automatic snow sensors
- Advanced sensors for reliable precipitation detection
- Easy to install and configure with many user-customizable options
- All internal electronics and advanced settings are easily accessible with the removable cover
- Generous 2-year warranty and many replaceable parts
- Enclosed in a NEMA 3R case rated for outdoor use and designed to resist the harshest elements (enclosure measures approximately 5" x 7" x 3")
- Internal electronics are designed to perform at -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius
- ETL UL Standard 508/CSA C22.2 No. 14 Listed
With power-saving automatic activation, reliable and accurate precipitation detection, easily adjustable trigger temperature settings, and a drying cycle, the DS-9C is a great solution for your snow melting system. It is a stand-alone sensor/control that does not need to be connected to a control panel and can be operated in manual or automatic mode. The DS-9C cannot be used with Contactor Pro control panels, which are designed for use with 24 V snow sensors (PM-L1-L2-L3). The snow sensor measures approximately 5"x7"x3" and should be used with medium systems up to 30 + 30 Amps
To easily monitor and control your DS-9C, we recommend purchasing the optional PM-DP remote ProMelt Display Panel, sold separately.
