Each unit has four mounting tabs that can be used to mount the sensor to a post, elevating it above the highest level of expected snow fall. Weighing in at just two pounds, they can be easily secured and supported on a variety of surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of minimally invasive techniques for adding the WZ-2 aerial sensor to your existing&nbsp;<a title=\"Radiant heated driveways and snow melting systems\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/\">snow melting system<\/a>, regardless of the conditions outside. For convenience, the unit has pre-set all operational switches and set points; however, for further customization, users can access all electronics by simply removing the four screws of the front cover plate.<\/p>\n<p>Aerial-mount snow&nbsp;sensors are an integral part of any snow melting system, so the quality of your system components is critical.

They are the brain of your heated driveway and maximize efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>WS-2 snow sensors feature an adjustable &ldquo;Delay Off&rdquo; cycle. &ldquo;Delay off&rdquo; refers to drying cycle. This cycle restarts and operates whenever snow is detected, then continues for a short &ldquo;delay off&rdquo; period once the precipitation has stopped to dry the heated surface.
