General
Introduction
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

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.
The 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
Page 8 of 27
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) Interface

The 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 EUR
5A 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 Interfaces
EUR5A 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 Switch
The 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.

Each 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 9 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 Source
The 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 Interface
Since the EUR5A is a NEC Class 2 device, it usually requires a customer supplied
auxiliary relay for operating the heater control contactor solenoids.

Operation
The snow melting system can be monitored and controlled either locally from the EUR5A
itself or from two remote locations including:
BEMC
A third remote option uses a customer-supplied switch to toggle the heaters on for the holdon time from the front panel of the electrical enclosure.
Local Control from the EUR5A

Indicators:
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 RCU3

The 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 12 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 BEMC

Operation of this interface is defined in the Specifications section of this manual.
Panel-Mounted Switch
Operating 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.
Troubleshooting
Although the EUR5A is a relatively simple device electronically, troubleshooting is
complicated by the multiplicity of features provided by this product. Hence componentlevel 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.
Returns
Contact Customer Service to obtain a Return Authorization before shipment to
Environmental Technology, Inc. Otherwise, the shipment may be refused.
