Installation & Operation Manual
Snow Detector & Melting Control 665
The Snow Detector & Melting Control 665 is a microprocessor-based control which operates a single zone snow melting system.
The control can operate automatically when a Snow / Ice Sensor 090 is installed or the user can manually enable and/or disable the
system. When the control is in the melting mode, the slab is maintained at a "Melting" temperature through an on/off output which
operates a contactor for electrical cables, a boiler, an injection pump or an injection valve. When the control is not in the melting mode,
the melt system can either be shut down or it can be maintained at an idle temperature for faster response and improved safety. The
665 control includes a large Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in order to view system status and operating information.
Additional features include:
Slab Outdoor Reset
Automatic snow detection and melt control (with 090 sensor)

Summary of Contents for Tekmar 665

  • Page 1 Snow Melting Replaces: 04/12 The Snow Detector & Melting Control 665 is a microprocessor-based control which operates a single zone snow melting system. The control can operate automatically when a Snow / Ice Sensor 090 is installed or the user can manually enable and/or disable the system.
  • Page 2: Table Of Contents

    User Interface The 665 uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) as the method of supplying information. You use the LCD in order to setup and monitor the operation of your system. The 665 has four push buttons (Menu, Item, (Start), (Stop)) for selecting and adjusting settings. As you program your control, record your settings in the ADJUST Menu table which is found in the second half of this brochure.

    EXERCISING (EXERCISE) The 665 has a built-in pump exercising function. The exercising period is adjustable and is factory set at 70 hours. If a pump output has not been operated at least once during every exercising period, the control turns on the output for 10 seconds. This minimizes the possibility of a pump or valve seizing during a long period of inactivity.

  • Page 9: Section E: Idling Operation

    When the snow melting system starts from a cold temperature, the time required for the system to reach the melting temperature may be excessive. To decrease this start up time, the 665 has an idling feature which can maintain the zone at a lower temperature.
