Know before you buy
The C-10 uses an integrated air temperature thermostat. You set a specific temperature threshold, and the unit will automatically activate your de-icer only when the ambient air temperature drops below that point.
No, the C-10 is specifically designed to manage a single 120-Volt de-icer. Attempting to connect multiple units may exceed the controller's capacity.
Yes, the C-10 is compatible with any standard 120-Volt de-icer, provided it does not exceed the power ratings of the controller.
Using a controller significantly reduces energy waste by ensuring your equipment only runs when freezing conditions actually exist. This helps lower your electricity costs and extends the lifespan of your de-icer by preventing unnecessary wear.
The C-10 is built for outdoor use in winter conditions, but it should be mounted in a location that is protected from direct precipitation and extreme weather to ensure the most accurate temperature readings and longevity.
