The Snowmelt Control (SMC) is designed to operate a radiant slab Hydronic heating system to prevent snow and ice accumulation on sidewalks, driveways, and other areas where buildup is undesirable. It does this using the provided Slab Sensor. This is the Heat-Timer preferred operation mode NOTICE In Slab Sensor Type mode, the slab sensor base and its conduit most be installed before the slab installation.

Temperature sensor wires have no polarity. Connect the sensor wires to the SMC's terminal 16 (Slab Temp/Out/Brown) and terminal 17 (Sensor Com/ Blue). • Connect the shield to terminal 17 with one of the sensor wires. Do not connect the shield at the sensor. HEAT-TIMER CORP. 059115–00 REV. C...
• The use of the Boiler Return to help protect the boiler from condensation and thermal shock is optional. A Heat-Timer temperature sensor (HT #904250-00 or HT# 904220-00) immersed in a 3/8 ID well (HT# 904011-00) is required. Both the sensor and well must be purchased separately.
Do not remove the jumper unless it is replaced by a System Prove signal. • Bring the two wires from the dry contact to the Prove 34 and 35 terminals. No voltage can be placed across the Prove Prove terminals. HEAT-TIMER CORP. 059115–00 REV. C...
• For the SMC to communicate with a multiple boiler control, i.e. an Elite Series SQ, Mini MOD or Mini MOD CNC, the use of the EMS 4-20mA Interface Module is required. The EMS 4-20mA Interface Module must be ordered separately (HT# 926741-00).
Connect the provided CAT-5 cable to both the BACnet Interface Module (Product Comm Ethernet port) and the SMC's (RS485 port). The BACnet Interface Module is powered through the control.
