socket is installed directly into the snow
melt slab halfway between the heating
elements or pipes.
The sensor measures the slab temperature,
sensor surface temperature and sensor
surface moisture level.

    Type 090/094 includes: • • One Snow / Ice Sensor 090/094 with “O” ring • Four, #6-32 x 3/8" screws • Four, #4-40 x 7/16" screws • • One Installation & Operation Manual Type 091 includes: •...
  • Page 3 • Vehicle tire and pedestrian traffic can track water and contaminants onto the snow melt area. If the snow / ice sensor is located in the traffic area, snow melting will be triggered by the passing traffic. This may be desirable in commercial areas where excessive traffic can cause the surface to become icy.
  • Page 4 1. Cut four pieces of rebar at least 12" (300 mm) long. 2. Drive the rebar into the ground through each of the mounting plate rebar holes. Leave approximately 2" (50 mm) of rebar above the ground. 3. Cut several 12" (300 mm) pieces of steel wire. 4.
  • Page 5: Step 3 - Electrical Connections

    Current versions of the Snow / Ice Socket 091 use #6-32 screws. Previous versions of the 091 used smaller #4-40 screws. When replacing an 090, both sets of screws are provided. It is recommended to try the smaller screws first to avoid cross threading.
