EM 524 89, EM 524 90 – Snow and ice detectors

The EM 524 89 snow and ice detector serves for switching-on heating cables heating outdoor surfaces (ramps, sidewalks, staircases, heliports, etc.) or rof drains (gutters, drains, conduits, roof parts). The EM 524 90 double detector is now also available. This regulator controls two indpendent circuits, thus fulfilling the function of two EM 524 89 regulators. It can be used for example to regulate two gutters on opposite sides (north and south) or gutters and an access road.

The switching process uses the values measured on several temperature and humidity sensors. The algorithm of the regulator evaluates the conditions for turning on. In the following table you will find the summary of sensors, that can be connected to the regulator. The regulator is positioned onto the DIN ledge in the switchgear and initiates the heating cables using the output relay either directly, or through a suitable contactor. A malfunction of the regulator or sensors is signalized by a contact of the second relay.

For the switching of simple gutter and outdoor surface heating systems, a simple device can be used - the DTR-E 3102 double bimetallic spatial thermostat. This thermostat initiates heating in a set range of outside temperatures, for example -7 to +5°C. In this range of outdoor temperatures, melting of snow and ice is most common, so during this time it is best to heat. Out of this extent (under -7°C and over +5°C), melting isn´t so frequent and heating isn´t necessary.
