automatic
The MPS control is designed to detect snow, ice, or melt water and automatically activate contactors for snow melting cables.
how it works
The MPS control panel continuously monitors conditions at the RG sensor. Once the following two conditions are met the snow melting system is activated. (1) Ambient temperature at the RG thermistor falls below 35°F (2°C) and (2) snow or moisture is present on the RG sensor.
When one of the above two conditions ceases the snow melting system will continue to operate for 5-hours and then shut-off.
optional sensors
You can substitute the RG sensor for an MP slab temperature/moisture sensor. You can install one secondary RGS moisture sensor. When one of the sensors detects moisture the snow melting system is activated.
