Snow Melting Management: Think Proactive
No better snow melting management: snow disposal as fast as it falls. How does “Operating always when needed, only when needed” sound? Immediate response at any time of day, and the weather monitoring is on-site, specific and continuous.
Snow Management Systems Control: GF Pro
ETI’s Snow Switch® Model GF Pro control electronically manages radiant heat systems for these smaller applications. It operates between –31° and +130°F (–35° to +55°C), broad enough for modest weather event management.
Sensors Care in Extreme Environments
ETI sensors detect normal snow, ice and freezing rain. Its controls manage systems where safe, dry surfaces and free-flowing gutters or pipes are important. The installation and application expectations of these products are for optimal operation under normal climate conditions. There are, of course, extreme conditions for which ETI sensors may operate. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Compressor mount changes affect ADH NETCOM and ADH Sirocco
We have recently changed the compressor mount used in the ADH NETCOM and the ADH Sirocco dehydrators. Going forward we will be using the EZ MOUNT product recommended by the compressor manufacturer, Hargraves. The EZ MOUNT is a lightweight mounting system that reduces...
Updated RCD line of passive dehydrators
The RCD line of passive dehydrators keeps small volume waveguide and coax systems dry. These dehydrators may also be used to supply short term protection for larger systems; during power interruptions, maintenance, storage, or transportation. Due to requests from our customers, a couple of additional models have been added.
Stocking Orders for the Snow & Ice Season
Another snow and ice melting season is upon us. Environmental Technology has prepared its most significant stocking level increase that any of us here can remember. Even still, the last several weeks have already shown a great growth in snow and ice melting control...
Can I extend the wires and how far away can I locate the sensors?
Yes. The sensor wires can be extended up to 500 feet with #18 awg wire and 2000 feet with #12 awg wire.
Can I use a GIT-1 sensor to replace the sensor on my GIT-3A controller?
In a word: No! The GIT-1 is meant for use with APS control panels, EUR-5A controls and the PRO series controls. The GIT-3A sensor is unique to the GIT-3A.
Do I need to supply the controller with a ground fault breaker?
When using a control or controller that does not include integral ground fault, using a ground fault breaker is required to provide protection for the heater tapes used with this product. Failure to do so will put the installation at risk for fire if the heaters...
What voltage measurement will help determine if the GIT-3A is working properly?
Aside from checking the input voltage from the circuit breaker, you can also check the voltage between the red and black sensor wires on the GIT-3A. The controller should supply 16VDC to the sensor over these wires.
What are the BEMC connections for on my EUR-5A ?
BEMC stands for Building Energy Management Computer, which can be used to remotely monitor and control the EUR-5A controller. These connections are made to pins 10 through 16. The following diagram will aid in making these connections. The BEMC can use the override on...
When the system was installed the high temperature sensor was not installed, can I still make the unit work?
The high temperature sensor is intended for two purposes, either as a slab sensor when the EUR-5A is used for heating sidewalks, patios or driveways or for ambient air temperature when the unit is used for roof and gutter melt systems. In roof and gutter applications...
Why doesn’t adjusting the High Temperature Limit dial turn the unit on?
The high temperature limit dial is used to set the maximum temperature that the unit will work at. When the High temperature limit sensor detects a temperature higher than what is selected on the dial it overrides the system and shuts it off. This function can be used...
Why is my heater light flashing?
A flashing heater light indicates a missing or broken High Temperature Limit sensor. This sensor is required. The sensor is not polarized and must be connected to pins 1 and 2. Refer to figure 17 in the manual.
