Snow/Ice Sensor 090

Snow/Ice Sensor Socket 09

The Snow/Ice Sensor 090 is an in 

ground sensor used with Watts Radiant 

snow melting controls 653 and 654, and 

some tekmar snow melting controls to 

automatically detect snow or ice on a 

driveway or walkway. The snow/ice sensor 

has 65 ft (20 m) of wire. This product 

can be used in applications ranging 

from residential driveways to commercial 

building fronts such as emergency access 

entries. This sensor allows the above 

Snow/Ice Sensor Socket 091 Features

Provides mounting solution for  

Snow/Ice Sensor 090
Includes mounting plate

snow melting controls to automatically 

operate the snow/ice melt system only 

when snow or ice is present, while also 

providing slab temperature feedback to 

the control.
The Snow/Ice Sensor Socket 09 is 

designed to provide a mounting solution 

for the Snow/Ice Sensor 090. It is intended 

to be installed directly into a concrete slab 

when the slab is poured, so that the 090 

can be installed into it once dry.
