Snow Owl Snow/Ice Sensor (25116)
The ETI Snow Owl is an automatic, 24V AC/DC aerial sensor designed to optimize energy usage in snow and ice melting applications. By ensuring heaters activate only when precipitation is present at temperatures below 38°F (3.3°C), the Snow Owl provides an efficient, low-impact solution for sidewalks, gutters, downspouts, doorways, and loading docks.
Engineered for simple integration, the Snow Owl features a 3-wire connection (2 for power, 1 for signal) and functions as a drop-in replacement for the ETI CIT-1 aerial sensor. It is constructed from durable, UV-resistant ASA plastic and is suitable for both standalone contactor control and building automation systems.
- Efficient Operation: Reduces energy consumption by activating heating systems only when conditions require, with a 1-minute hold-on time.
- Flexible Installation: Mounts on 3/4" PVC conduit (with options for 1/2" conduit or NPT) and supports up to 2,000 ft. (609.6 m) separation from the control panel.
- Reliable Performance: Features a heated moisture-sensing grid and a convenient power-on self-test to verify operational status.
- Durable Construction: Built with UV-tolerant, corrosion-resistant materials for long-lasting outdoor service; Made in the U.S.A.
-
User-Friendly: Wire colors match standard cable for easy installation; safe low-voltage (24V AC/DC) operation.
