DC Flex digital heat cable controller How-To
The DC Flex Digital Heat Cable Controller is the perfect complement to any roof ice prevention system or pipe heat trace application. It allows for the efficient and effective control of your heat cable system without requiring the end user to closely monitor the system.
This video tutorial covers the basic operation and programming functions of the DC Flex Digital Controller. For installation instructions, see the Install Guide (which accompanies each controller or request one from us).
Basic Functionality of the DC Flex Digital Controller
The DC Flex is completely field adjustable allowing for site specific customization of the entire system. In the field calibration of the thermistor probe is also easily accomplished. (Consult the factory for an easy walk through on this).
The DC Flex heat cable controller can operate up to four separate 30 amp circuits at 208/240VAC. There is no separate feed required to operate the controller itself unlike competitor panels - saving you time and money at installation
Manually Operation (MAX)
- On/Off Control
- Energizes heat cables regardless of ambient temperature
- Useful for pre-season testing
ECO (automatic) Operation
- Automatic Control - heat cables are when temps are ideal for ice dam formation
- Low Temp Cut Out - allows for heat cables to be turned off when temps are too cold for ice dam formation
- Most reliable for preventing ice dams when end user is not available to monitor the system
UL 508a built
- For safety and reliability
- Unlike the competitor panel, ours actually comes with a UL certification.
