    GeneralIntroduction

    The EUR5A Snow and Ice Melting Control is the interface between environmental sensors, building energy management computer (if present), operating personnel and the heater control contactors. Figure 1 shows a typical snow melting system using an EUR5A. Currently, compatible environmental sensors are available for pavement, aerial and gutter snow and ice melting applications. A special sensor measures ambient temperature.

    Using at least two environmental sensors, as shown in Figure 1, improves performance through superior coverage. A single environmental sensor can miss tracked or blowing and drifting snow. The first environmental sensor detecting snow or ice starts the heaters. When both environmental sensors become clear of snow and ice, the heater hold-on interval begins. The EUR5A accommodates up to eight environmental sensors.

    During hold-on, heater operation continues for an adjustable time interval.

    This serves the purposes of melting any accumulated snow and ice and drying the pavement. Re-freezing can create hazardous conditions.

    The EUR5A includes an adjustable high temperature limit thermostat. This feature is useful in systems using MI cable and other constant wattage heaters to prevent excessive temperatures. When using self-limiting heaters, this feature can be defeated.

    Typically, the EUR5A is located in an electrical enclosure housing heater contactors

  • Page 8 of 27

    which is not convenient for operating personnel or accessible to laymen. Supervisory control is sometimes necessary due to the need for testing and unusual environmental conditions which can include blowing, drifting and tracked snow. The EUR5A itself provides control and indicators for this purpose. However, accessing them requires opening the electrical enclosure thus exposing lethal voltages. This problem is avoided through the use of the RCU3 Remote Control Unit which is included. Another simple alternative is to mount a customer supplied pushbutton switch in the electric panel door for cycling the hold-on timer.

    Environmental InterfacesThe EUR5A determines when to start heater operation by monitoring the signals produced

    by up to six environmental customer supplied sensors paralleled together using a three-wire bus. Available sensors include:

    SIT6E Pavement Mounted Snow and Ice Sensor CIT1 Aerial Snow and Ice Sensor GIT1 Gutter Snow and Ice Sensor

    The EUR5A includes a temperature sensor for measuring air or pavement slab

    temperature. This sensor is required for proper operation of the unit. Its signal is used to provide an adjustable high limit thermostat function. This feature is essential when using a potentially high temperature heater such as MI cable.

    Building Energy Management Computer (BEMC) InterfaceThe EUR5A interfaces a BEMC via relays. Inputs from the BEMC include: OVERRIDE

    ON which causes heater operation and OVERRIDE OFF which inhibits heater operation. These functions are independent of weather conditions and the status of the hold-on timer. The EUR5A provides three system status contact closures for the BEMC including SUPPLY, SNOW and HEATER. The SUPPLY relay contact closes on the absence of power since it is reverse acting.

    Absent signals from the BEMC, the EUR5A controls the heaters based upon environmental conditions. Automatic snow melting control is the default condition of the system.

    Operator InterfacesEUR5A Front Panel

    The EUR5A has indicators, adjustments, and a switch for local control of the snow melting system. These include:

    SUPPLY indicator SNOW indicator HEAT indicator HEATER CYCLE pushbutton switch HOLD-ON time adjustment with a range of 0 to 10 hours and off HIGH-LIMIT temperature adjustment with a range of 40 to 90 F (4 to 32 C)

    Figure 2 shows the EUR5A front panel layout.

    Pushbutton SwitchThe EUR5A provides an interface for a customer-supplied pushbutton switch which

    initiates the hold-on timer for the interval set by the EUR5A. This switch also resets the hold-on timer if it is running. Typically, this switch is located on the door of the electrical enclosure. This feature is optional.

    RCU3 Remote Control UnitEach EUR5A includes an RCU3 for monitoring the snow melting and controlling

    system operation from a convenient observation point. This accommodates unusual environment conditions that could result in heater operation being terminated before the snow was completely cleared and the pavement dry. The RCU3 provides both a heater hold-on switch and an

  • Page 10 of 27

    independent hold-on time interval adjustment.

    The RCU3 provides the following indicators, switches and adjustments: POWER indicator (green) HEATER indicator (yellow) HEATER CYCLE switch HOLD-ON time adjustment (two to eight hours in two hour steps)

    Figure 3 shows the front panel layout. The Class 2 for wet locations RCU3 mounts in a single gang switch box up to 500 feet from the EUR5A at a location convenient for observing snow melting system operation.

    Power SourceThe EUR5A operates from a 24 volt AC NEC Class 2 power source. A 120 to 24 volt 50

    VA control transformer is included for this purpose.

    Contactor InterfaceSince the EUR5A is a NEC Class 2 device, it usually requires a customer supplied

    auxiliary relay for operating the heater control contactor solenoids.

    OperationThe snow melting system can be monitored and controlled either locally from the EUR5A

    itself or from two remote locations including: RCU3 Remote Control Unit BEMCA third remote option uses a customer-supplied switch to toggle the heaters on for the hold-

    on time from the front panel of the electrical enclosure.

    Local Control from the EUR5AIndicators:

    SUPPLY (green) shows that power is present SNOW (yellow) shows that it is snowing HEAT (yellow) shows that there is a call for heat. This happens during snow and for

    the hold-on time thereafter or when the heater cycle switch is operated. Please note, if thermistor temperature exceeds the setting on the temperature limit dial, the heaters will shut off; the hold-on timer remains active.

    Adjustments: HOLD-ON TIME adjustment sets the time that heaters operate after snow stops. Doing

    this is necessary to make certain the pavement dries before heating ceases. This prevents re-freezing. Try an initial setting of 5 hours. Increase, if necessary. Reduce with care since energy savings are being traded for an increased likelihood of re-freezing.

    HIGH-LIMIT TEMPERATURE adjustment sets the maximum deicing temperature.

    Remote Control from the RCU3The location for the RCU3 is chosen for convenient observation of snow melting system

    operation. It monitors snow melting and permits overriding automatic control in the event that heating terminates before the pavement is dry. The SUPPLY indicator shows that power is available for the snow melting system while the HEAT indicator operates with the snow melting heaters.

    The HOLD-ON TIME adjustment sets the heater operating time in a 2 to 8 hour range. The range of this adjustment is independent of its equivalent on the EUR5A for flexibility.

    Operating the HEATER CYCLE switch causes snow melting heater operation for the HOLD-ON TIME adjustment setting. Using this switch during hold-on turns the heaters off.

    If the heaters turn off before the pavement is dry, operate the HEATER CYCLE switch. This continues heater operation for the HOLD-ON TIME. A trial HOLD-ON TIME of 4 hours is suggested. If the pavement dries during the hold-on interval, operate the HEATER CYCLE

  • Page 13 of 27

    switch to turn the heaters off. Adjust the HOLD-ON TIME in steps of plus or minus two hours to optimize heater operation.

    Remote Control from the BEMCOperation of this interface is defined in the Specifications section of this manual.

    Panel-Mounted SwitchOperating this switch initiates heater operation for the hold-on time set by the EUR5A. If

    operated during the hold-on time, heater operation is terminated.

    Maintenance General

    The EUR5A contains no field replaceable components. Defective units must be returned to ETI for repair or replacement.

    TroubleshootingAlthough the EUR5A is a relatively simple device electronically, troubleshooting is

    complicated by the multiplicity of features provided by this product. Hence component-level troubleshooting in the field is not practical. Checking only basic functions is the correct approach. Contact Customer Service if this does not identify the problem.

    First, check the installation for security. Make certain that all EUR5A terminal block screws are snugly tightened. Do not over-tighten! If this is a new installation, check for wiring errors and similar problems.

    If none of the LEDs on the EUR5A front panel operate, check for 24 to 28 VAC between terminal block terminals 36 and 37. If the voltage is present, the EUR5A is defective.

    If the "HEAT" LED is flashing it indicates that the Ambient/Slab Temperature Sensor is not properly connected. Check the sensor connection and replace the sensor if necessary.

    The next tests determine whether a sensor or the EUR5A is defective. Remove EUR5A power. Turn temperature limit dial to 90; if ambient temperature is above 85, install 470k resistor in place of temperature limit thermistor. Remove the wire connected to terminal block terminal 25 which is the sensor signal connection. Re-apply EUR5A power. If the Control Relay operates, the EUR5A is defective. Connect a short jumper wire between terminal block terminals 25 (sensor signal) and 24 (sensor ground). The Control Relay should close within 10 seconds or the EUR5A is defective.

    ReturnsContact Customer Service to obtain a Return Authorization before shipment to

    Environmental Technology, Inc. Otherwise, the shipment may be refused.
