Snow Melt Series
Installation:
1. Slab Sensor Location
Installing the sensor at the correct location in the slab is critical
for a properly functioning snow/ice melting system. The sensor
should be located where snowfall is normal and not affected by
surrounding buildings. Also, the sensor must not be installed
where standing water could accumulate on its surface.
The sensor location should also be halfway between the two
heating pipes that are installed in the slab (see FIG. 1). There is a
thermistor built into the sensor that senses the slab temperature
at all times. Keeping the sensor away from pipes in the slab
ensures the accurate operation of your snow/ice melting system.
a) Mounting the Socket and cover plate
When mounting the socket and cover plate in the snowmelt slab
use rebar mounted in the soil below to level the socket and cover
plate so that the cover plate is level with the finished grade of the
snow melting surface (see FIG. 2).
When the socket and cover plate are level, use a screw to tighten
the socket onto the rebar (see FIG. 3).
Failure to mount the socket properly may result in incorrect or
faulty sensor readings.
i) Ramp Mounting
The socket and cover plate can also be mounted on a ramp. Make
sure to locate the socket and cover plate near the bottom of the
ramp. This will allow for proper ice melting when the melted snow
flows down (see FIG. 4).
ii) Brass Plugs
On the socket there are 4 brass plugs. These plugs are designed to
make contact with the brass ring on the sensor so the sensor can
get proper slab temperatures. Take care not to press these plugs
in or out as they are properly set at the factory. Manipulation of
the plugs may result in the sensor not fitting properly in the socket
(see FIG. 5).
Take special care to clean the brass surfaces on the inside of
the socket, making sure to clean any concrete that may have
accumulated on them. Failure to do so may result in the sensor
not making proper contact and not reading the slab temperature
properly.
