Tekmar Controls 095 Sensor
The Tekmar Controls 095 Sensor is an essential component for any contractor-grade automatic snow melting system, designed specifically to detect falling snow and trigger immediate system activation. This aerial mounted snow sensor features a reliable 1/2" NPT connection, making it compatible with standard metal or PVC conduit and poles. Engineered for durability in high-exposure environments, the 095 provides a steady operating range of -40 to 122F (-40 to 50C), ensuring functional consistency during extreme North American winters. When integrated with Tekmar snow melting controls—such as the 653 or 654 models—it eliminates the need for manual monitoring, significantly improving the efficiency of the hydronic or electric heat source. The white PVC plastic enclosure is UV stable and rated NEMA 1, providing long-term protection against solar degradation and environmental wear.
Key Benefits- Automated Precipitation Detection: High-sensitivity moisture and temperature logic ensures the system fires immediately upon detecting falling snow, preventing hazardous accumulation.
- Streamlined Installation: The 1/2" NPT connection and pole-mount design allow for rapid integration into existing or new conduit runs.
- Rugged Enclosure: The UV resistant finish prevents cracking and discoloration, maintaining sensor integrity over years of direct sun exposure.
- Broad Compatibility: Designed specifically as a 10kΩ sensor interface for the Tekmar 653, 654, and newer 670/680 series controls.
Is the Tekmar 095 compatible with third-party controls?
This 10k sensor is specifically calibrated for Tekmar Controls and Watts Radiant systems. Using it with non-compatible controllers may lead to inaccurate readings or electrolysis issues.
Where is the best place to mount the aerial sensor?
For peak snow detection performance, mount the sensor in an open area away from building overhangs or trees. Pointing the sensor face toward the prevailing wind is a standard technician practice to ensure early detection.
What wiring is required for this unit?
The 095 typically requires a 4-conductor 18 AWG wire. For runs near high electromagnetic noise, using shielded cable is recommended to maintain signal clarity back to the control board.
