Watts Tekmar BACnet Snow/Ice Sensor Interface 681

BACnet Snow/Ice Sensor Interface 681

The BACnet Snow/Ice Sensor Interface 681 is meticulously engineered to detect the presence of snow/ice and seamlessly integrate with Building Automation Systems (BAS) to operate electric or hydronic snow melting systems. Leveraging tekmar® sensor technology, the 681 automatically senses snow or ice and communicates with the BAS via BACnet MS/TP protocol. This allows the BAS to efficiently manage the snow melting system by automatically activating or deactivating it as needed. The 681 is suitable for a wide range of commercial applications, including hospitals, schools, airports, ski resorts, business entrances, driveways, loading docks, and shopping malls.

Key Features:

• Automatic snow/ice detection feature ensures timely response to changing weather conditions.
• BACnet MSTP communication enables seamless integration with Building Automation Systems for efficient control and monitoring.
• Supports both in-slab and retrofit aerial sensors, providing flexibility in sensor installation options.
• Warm weather shut down and cold weather cut off functions optimize system performance and protect against unnecessary operation.
• Slab target temperature setting ensures precise control over the snow melting process.
• Error codes provide diagnostic information for troubleshooting and maintenance purposes.
• Melt pending indication alerts users to impending snow melting operation.
• Supports both DIN rail and backplate mount configurations for versatile installation options.
