A GIT-4 consists ofa gutter-mounted computerized sensor <strong>and</strong> acontrol enclosure connected by a 12' 6" (3.8meter) cable. If the distance between the sensor<strong>and</strong> control needs to be changed, pleasecontact Customer Service. A GIT-4 includesan RCU-2 Remote <strong>Control</strong> Unit. It can belocated up to 150 feet (45.7 meters) from thecontrol enclosure. It mounts in a single-gangswitch box.The GIT-4 senses both moisture <strong>and</strong> temperatureconditions in the gutter or down spoutthus assuring optimum control. Ice meltingheaters operate at temperatures below 38˚F(3.3˚C) while moisture is present. Operationcontinues a period of time thereafter to insurecomplete melting. While operating, the heatersare maintained at a nominal temperatureof 38˚F (3.3˚C). The RCU-2 provides remotemonitoring of the ice melting system operation.It also controls GFEP operation <strong>and</strong> canoverride automatic heater operation.Line voltage <strong>and</strong> ice melting heater connectionsare located in the control enclosure.The GIT-4 operates from single-phase 120,208/240 or 277 volt supply selected by ainternal jumper connection that is set duringinstallation. It controls single-phase icemelting heater loads of up to 26 amps. TheGIT-4 meets the new NEC Class 2 low voltagerequirement for wet locations. It is both UL<strong>and</strong> CUL Listed while the RCU-2 is a NECClass 2 device. Safety testing was done to ULSt<strong>and</strong>ard 873.Specifications <strong>and</strong> Ordering InformationModel Number PCN StockGIT-4 Gutter De-Icing/Sensor <strong>Control</strong> 389810 SStock Status: S = stock AS = assembly stock NS = non-stockTo Order—Specify model, PCN <strong>and</strong> quantity.The ETI logo is a registered trademark of Environmental Technology, Inc.
