PRODUCT CODE
GIT-1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
An automatic control system for gutters and downspouts,
employs one or more GIT–1 Gutter Ice Sensors and an APS–3C
Control Panel.
Heaters operate only if moisture occurs at temperatures
below 38°F(3.3°C), thus saving energy and ensuring reliable
ice melting.
Since the GIT–1 mounts in gutters and downspouts it senses
actual environmental conditions. This improves sensing
accuracy. Solid state moisture and temperature sensors
provide the sensitivity required for effective automatic
control. Ice bridging occurs if incomplete melting occurs near
the heater or sensor leaving an air space.
The air insulates thus preventing effective heater and sensor
operation. The GIT–1’s unique microcontroller design frees its
moisture sensor from ice bridging.
Additional features prevent heater operation under conditions
favorable to heater ice tunneling. Low Voltage operation
simplifies installation. Sensors can be located up to 2,000’
(609.6m) away form the control panel.
ADVANTAGES
• Minimum snow melting costs
• No supervision required
• Simple installation

INSTALLATION
C
For the installation, choose an unobstructed, elevated location exposed to snowfall.
Gutters: Position sensor within 1/4" (6.4mm) of gutter bottom with moisture sensing grid facing downstream (ambient air
temperature sensor facing up stream). Sensor may be fastened to the fascia using the mounting clamps and gasketed screws
(not furnished).
Downspouts: Fold cable back parallel to sensor body and secure with mounting clamps. Suspend sensor in downspout with
moisture sensing grid facing up (ambient air temperature sensor facing down).
