The EMDR-10 control unit operates on temperature and moisture sensing • Combined temperature and moisture sensing • Temperature sensor de-activates the system at – High temperatures – Very low temperatures (no melting) • Moisture sensor de-activates the system when there is no moisture – No moisture = no melt water = no risks for leaks 15

How the EMDR-10 works? 1. 2. 3. 4. Air temperature is lower than the set-point Moisture measurement is activated after 10 minutes If moisture is present, the heating cable is switched on Heating cable is switched off when: 1. Air temperature raises above setpoint OR 2. Moisture is lower than set-point OR 3. Air temperature is lower than the set ‚minimum‘ temperature. 16
