HEATER LOAD CONNECTION

•  Provide 3-phase contactors C1, C2, C3 and C4 with up to 

600 VAC, 50 AMP maximum per pole. 

•  Provide contactor C5 with up to 277 VAC, 30 AMP.
•  Make sure the wire gauge (AWG) is suitable for the circuit 

amperage draw, as specified in the NEC/ CEC table 1.

MAIN SUPPLY FOR THE POWER BOX

•  Provide terminals L1, N1 with 120 VAC supply.

CONNECTION TO THIRD-PARTY ICE/SNOW 

SENSOR (GIT-1 / CIT-1 / SIT/6E) – OPTIONAL

•  3-wire shielded cable
•  Up to 2,000 ft (609 m) using 12 AWG 3-wire shielded cable.
•  Up to 500 ft (152 m) using 18 AWG 3-wire shielded cable.

CONNECTION TO SNOW SENSOR 

(PYROSENSE)

Please refer to the PYROSENSE installation section of this 
manual.

IMPORTANT !  If the heaters are connected in a star configuration, the neutral must pass through the internal current 
transformer ring and the external branch circuit protection.

CAUTION: Incorrect voltage may cause fire or seriously damage the unit.
