• Large output power, can control directly
• Can be delivered as one kit, with sensors for wall and roof.
• LEDs showing the temperature in relation to the sensors.
• Safe function with lowest possible energy consumption.
Description ETR‐1442P/F is a thermostat designed specially for the control of heating cables in gutter de‐icing applications. The thermostat employs two sensors to achieve efficient and reliable de‐icing under varying temperature‐ and solar radiation conditions.
The thermostat works on the basis of the plus/minus system. The plus sensor ("High", terminal blocks 8 and 9) is located on the wall facing north where it senses the outdoor temperature. The plus sensor setpoint (high limit) is selected from within the 0 to 10°C range by adjusting the “High” control. When air temperature around the sensor is above the predetermined set point, no heat is applied. The minus sensor ("Low", terminal blocks 12 and 13) is located on the side of the roof that faces south. The minus sensor setpoint (low limit) is selected from within the minus 10 to 0°C range by adjusting the l "Low" control. Power is not switched on until the air temperature at the sensor falls below the predetermined set point.
The thermostat is delivered complete with a 10 A potential‐free reversing contactor.
Adjustment
Connect the thermostat according to the wiring diagram. On the front of the thermostat casing, set the "High" and "Low" temperatures to, for example, ‘3’ and ‘2’ degrees., respectively. If the sensors have been correctly placed, the application will, in most cases, work satisfactorily. If there are icicles to be melted, you should check which LED light is on. If the green LED light is illuminated, turn the "Low" dial towards lower temperatures until the red LED goes on. If the yellow LED is illuminated, turn the "High" control towards higher temperatures until the red LED lights up. A correctly adjusted de‐icing system will prevent icicles and similar shapes from forming.
For lowest possible energy consumption, settings should be as close to ‘0’ as possible.
If icicles are being formed, when the red light is on, the amount of heat applied is too small or no heat at all is applied.
For a large roof it is advisable for each side of the roof to have a separate heating installation so that energy consumption is kept as low as possible.

Advantages:
TEKMAR have eliminated the problem with dirty moisture sensors in metal which does not give rash. By developing a technique that, instead measures the sensors cooling, you can ignore the external environment.
Micro‐processor based control unit for snow and ice melting on ground surfaces, roof and other areas where ice formation and frost causes inconveniences. The system is closing a contact to connect the heating system when rain or snow is falling within an adjustable temperature zone. The heat is disconnected when the surface have dried up, the unit have an adjustable pre‐heating time for compensaton of failed location of the sensor. Sensors are available for installation in ground surfaces occupied by walkers/vehicles and roof surfaces and other surfaces which are not exposed to mechanical loads.
1773 have a basic heating function which can maintain a delayed temperature i the ground for a quicker thawing at precipitation in harsh nordic climates.
Programming the unit is done with simple menu system shown on a display where also the status of the unit can be read.
Programming can be done in different steps, the unit is supplied with a basic programme and in Quick Setup the necessary adjustements is done to start‐up the application. In other menues the unit can be tested, advanced settings can be performed and reset to factory settings be done.
General description of the functions
Ice and snow melting Regulator 1773 is an adjustable regulator fitted for several applications whre protection against ice formation is needed.
This type of regulator can save 30‐40% power compared to a conventional thermostat.
The savings is that, in addition to measuring the temperature measuring rainfall / frost on or adjacent to the surface which are to be protected from icing.
The sensors are of a type which instead of measuring the conductivity of the water between to blank metallic wires heat up the sensor periodically (approx. 25 minutes) and measure the cooling of the sensor to point out eventual precipitation. This type of measuring gives a good operating safety to a minimum of maintenance.
When connecting two sensors the application stars when one of the sensors detects moisture and preset temperature range for operation and continues until both sensors are dry.
The active temperature range is +5 ‐ ‐25°C which includes the temperature range when risk of precipitation and slippery is present. Can be adjusted in the Configuration menu.
At surface applications 1‐2 surface sensors of the Type 3352 with brass sleeve (must be used when laying of asphalt) is used or 3353 without brass sleeve. At ramps, it is very effective with a sensor at each end of the ramp when the melted precipitation flowing down the ramp while the upper part of the ramp is usually the first to get rainfall.
It is also important to ensure that the drains exists and also works at minus degrees.

Ice and snow detector TEKMAR 1773 continued from previous page
When used for roof installations and dishes a 3351 roof sensor in combination with air sensors in 3115 is used. For frost protection of roof drainage system a moisture / rain sensor in the gutter / down pipe and a temperature sensor in the shade / the north wall is used. At protection of ice of satellite mounted moisture / rain sensor on the console of the dish bottom edge.
When the sensors are installed it is not always possible to know/calculate where most snow will be gathering. Therefore a function is provided with minimum connection time ((Minimum heating run time) to compensate for eventaul abnormalities. Can be adjusted to operate in 0,5 10 hours (2 hours standard) so that the surface can dry up.
The unit also have a function for basic heat. This function keeps the ground surface at a rised temperature, for example ‐5°C to accelerate melting without consuming full power. The function is used for ground surfaces with high priority, for example public entrances, emergency wards at hospitals.
At poor function can a fault location and adjustmen easily be done by using the units status and test programme. Faults on sensors are also indicated of a flashing red LED on the front of the unit.
1773 have also an alarm output (24V max. 15mA) which can be connected to a alarm panel and signalling at eventual errors.

LCDTM‐3S Snow‐ and ice‐breaker
Benefits
• Minimize operating cost • Automatic de‐icing • Unattended operation
Features
• Heaters operate only when needed. • Senses ambient temperature and precipitation. • Factory programmable for special applications. • Simple installation. • Field proven reliability • Low cost.
Description
The LCD‐3S Snow Switch senses both temperature and precipitation. Heaters operate at temperatures below 38°F (3.3°C) during precipitation and for one hour thereafter. Heavy, wet spring and fall snows often occur at temperatures above freezing. The 38°F (3.3°C) setting ensures effective snow melting under these conditions. Otherwise, snow may accumulate before melting starts. Continued heater operation for one hour after snow stops completes the melting. Members of the LCD product family have provided more than 70 million hours of reliable snow melting control. These products continue to be the industry's most popular snow melting control family.
The LCD‐3S operates from a 120 volt AC 50/60 Hz supply. Options include operation from a variety of supply voltages.
The LCD‐3S provides a Form A (SPST) relay contact rated for 120/240 volt 16 Amp service. The LCD‐3S employs one‐time programmable microcontroller technology. All sensor signals are digitized. This allows for the addition or modification of performance features without changing changing any hardware. Contact Customer Service for additional information about product customization.
Other LCD‐3S features include a smart bypass and a low temperature lockout. The smart bypass switch permits testing or overriding the automatic control functions. The LCD‐3S reverts to automatic operation after 40 hours in the event that maintenance personnel leave the switch in the bypass or off positions. The low temperature lockout saves energy by preventing heater operation below 17°F (‐8.3°C) ambient which is usually too cold for effective snow melting.
