Heaters operateonly while required thus saving energy andensuring reliable ice melting. Since the GIT-1mounts in gutters and downspouts it sensesactual environmental conditions. This improvessensing accuracy. Solid state moistureand temperature sensors provide the sensitivityrequired for effective automatic control.Ice bridging occurs if incomplete meltingoccurs near the heater or sensor leaving anair space. The air insulates thus preventingeffective heater and sensor operation. TheGIT-1’s unique microcontroller design freesits moisture sensor from ice bridging. Additionalfeatures prevent heater operation underconditions favorable to heater ice tunneling.Low voltage operation simplifi es installation.Sensors can be located up to 2,000' (609.6m)away from the control panel.Specifications and Ordering InformationModel Number PCN StockGIT-1 Gutter Sensor 389757 SStock Status: S = stock AS = assembly stock NS = non-stockTo Order—Specify model, PCN and quantity.The ETI logo is a registered trademark of Environmental Technology, Inc.
