Snow Melting Controls

How do I know which DS Controller to use?

It basically comes down to two things; how much area are you trying to heat and what you are trying to heat.

• The DS-2C is a good choice when you are just heating your driveway, stairs or walkways. The DS-2C comes with the ability to handle 30amps and is perfect for smaller ground surface projects under 150 sqft.

• The DS-5C has 2 x 30amp relays that are useful when you are heating both your driveway/walkway/stairs or even your roof/gutter at the same time. No need for separate controllers to do both jobs.

• The DS-8C is primarily designed for gutters, downspouts and roof ice melting. The totally sealed, low voltage, remote mount precipitation sensor allows the user to install the small sensor head in a downspout, the bottom of a gutter, or at the end of an antenna boom, up to 10′ away, while keeping the main controller in a more convenient or protected location.

Note that contactor panels can be used with any DS controller to extend the amperage loads that your outdoor heating project may require.
