B. If the temperature is hovering near the freezing point,
any ice formation is minimized.
•
While picking time periods to operate, use these guide-
lines.
A.
Daily observation is required for all de-icing installa-
tion
, so pick a time for operation when your installation
would be observed, i.e., if you are De-Icing a dock at
your home, you may decide to have it operate during
your morning and/or evening meal time. If the unit is
installed at a marina, one of the operation times should
be during the Dockmaster’s daily inspection of the De-
Iced boats.
B. A number of factors can increase freeze rates such as
wind, snow, and colder temperatures. A sunny day can
actually
retard
freezing. While picking operation times,
remember to operate more when conditions will pro-
mote quicker freezing.
C. Your programming will likely require some fine tuning,
so remember to observe and be prepared to adjust your
timer cycles.
D. Remember that conditions
do change
, and you will need
to either choose to program for worst case conditions or
be willing to make some adjustments as time goes by.
E. Objectives for use of the timer will vary by region, but
as a general guideline, most people will be able to re-
duce operation time and energy consumption by 50-
66%. Users in more severe conditions, such as the Great
Lakes, will see less savings.
F.
ON
cycles should be 2 to 6 times per day with neither
ON
nor
OFF
cycles being less than one hour.
G. The following is a simple program giving a 50% operat-
ing time and 4
ON
cycles. We are allowing more opera-
tion time during after dark hours and less during day
light hours.
This is
only a sample
to demonstrate some of the choices
•
To bypass the time and operate only on temperature, pull
all trippers on the timer to the
ON
position.
•
Bypassing the thermostat to operate only on time can
only be done when temperatures are below 40
O
F. To do
so, set the thermostat to the highest temperature setting.
The thermostat is still functioning, but would only shut
down at that elevated temperature.
•
When not in use, store inside away from salt air and sun
light.
