ETI® Snow Switch® Model LCD-8
The Snow Switch Model LCD–8 is a configurable aerial snow melting controller designed to make automatic snow melting a cost-effective solution for small-to-medium applications, specifically tailored for hydronic and building automation systems. It ensures heaters operate only when necessary—at temperatures below the user-defined set point (38°F/3.3°C default)—and utilizes an adjustable "hold-on" timer (3-hour default) to ensure surfaces are completely clear and dry after snow has stopped.
The LCD–8 features a rugged, patent-pending polycarbonate NEMA 3R enclosure designed to shed snow and prevent "iglooing" over the sensor. It offers flexible power options, with automatic voltage selection for 100VAC–240VAC or a dedicated 24VAC model for hydronic and building automation applications.
- Efficient Operation: Automatically controls heater loads up to 16A (resistive) or 3A (inductive) to minimize energy costs.
- Configurable Settings: Easily adjust temperature set points and hold-on times to suit specific site requirements.
- Sno-Test™ Technology: Simplifies system verification by performing an automatic self-test upon power-up, eliminating the need for manual ice testing.
- Intuitive Design: Includes an internal magnetic reed switch for manual heater cycling and configuration without the need to open the enclosure.
- Durable Construction: Weather-resistant NEMA 3R rating; operates in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).

Safety Certified: C-UL-US Listed for Temperature Regulating Equipment.
