Electric Infrared Heating Controls
Snow & Ice Detectors
Variable Controllers
APS-3C
CIT-1
• Main control unit for Automatic Snow & Ice Control Systems.
• By sensing both temperature and moisture the system activates and melts any
snow & ice accumulations until conditions subside.
• NEMA 3R Enclosure is UL Listed and houses timers and switching electronics
to operate the system.
• Capability to monitor up to 6 sensors (CIT-1).
• Unit can be manually activated and can be controlled and monitored from an
optional remote switch (Model RCU-).
• Positioned above ground to maximize the sensors capability.
• Detects falling or blowing of precipitation such as snow when the
temperature is below 38° F.
• Most common sensor device.
Note: Any snow & ice control system should be used with the correct sized control panel (with contactors & fusing) as supplied by factory
or your electrical contractor. The APS-3C requires a control device (RCU-1, CIT-1, SIT-6E) in order to operate properly and must use 120V.
