Defective operation.

With user-supplied hardware, mount the LCD-8 securely in an 

upright position (sensor grid at top; see Figure 3) in a clear and 

open area typical of the area to be melted, either above the 

roof line or removed from the building and exposed to, rather 

than protected from, falling snow.

The LCD-8 also should be positioned at a height above ground 

that reduces, eliminates or discourages damage caused by 

animals or vandals.

AVOID

 overhead trees, shrubs, wires, eaves, etc., and 

falling or blowing debris.

AVOID

  vehicle  and  foot  traffic.  Do  not  create  a  safety 

hazard.

AVOID

  exposure  to  artificial  heat  sources  and  excessive 

shock and vibration.

clear  and open area 

identical to that requiring 

melting and exposed to 

falling snow.

Mount rigidly in an upright position, 

as shown, at a height above ground 

as necessary to discourage animal 

damage and vandalsim.

Ambient air temperature sensor

Cool this area per instructions when testing

Weatherproof conduit body or junction 

box supplied  by customer.

Make all threaded joints weathertight.

Insulate splices with wire nuts.

Designed to be mounted using PVC 

conduit using either 3/4” inserted into the 

flange (0.82”/21mm ID) or, with a coupler, 

1” mounted around the flange 

(1.32”/34mm OD).

Consider PVC adaptor if using metal 

conduit.
