• 35 mm DIN rail mounting in electrical enclosures.
• Energy efficient automatic operation.

Application Information

Using at least two environmental sensors improves the performance of the snow and ice melting system through superior coverage. A single environmental sensor can miss tracked or blowing and drifting snow. The first environmental sensor detecting snow or ice starts the heaters. When both environmental sensors become clear of snow and ice, the heater hold-on interval begins. The EUR-5A accommodates up to eight environmental sensors.

The EUR-5A brings the performance, economy and energy efficiency of the industry leading APS–3B to a wide range of commercial snow melting applications requiring electrical panel location. A rich assortment of features optimize EUR-5A performance for its intended applications and environment. The EUR-5A interfaces multiple sensors from the CIT–1, GIT–1, SIT–6E family for flexibility in a wide range of pavement, gutter and downspout deicing applications. This feature is essential for large systems employing common heater switching.
