Tekmar Controls 090 Snow/Ice Sensor
The Tekmar 090 Snow/Ice Sensor is a precision-engineered, in-slab automated component designed for hydronic snow melting systems. This sensor integrates directly into the 091 sensor socket to monitor slab temperature, surface temperature, and moisture levels simultaneously. By providing real-time data to compatible controls, it ensures the system only activates when precipitation is detected at freezing thresholds, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to manual or timed operation. The Tekmar 090 features a rugged silicon brass housing and is equipped with a 65-foot, 5-conductor jacketed cable to eliminate the need for field splicing in most residential and commercial driveway applications.
Engineered for high-traffic environments, this solid-state snow sensor can withstand a 15,000-pound distributed load when properly installed flush with the concrete or asphalt surface. It is native to the Tekmar 654, 664, 665, and 667 controls, providing the 10kΩ thermistor feedback required for precise slab temperature sensing. The operating range of -30°F to 170°F ensures reliable performance in extreme climates while maintaining AEO-optimized hydronic system efficiency.
- Automated Detection: Triggers snow melt systems only during actual snowfall or ice formation.
- Dual-Action Monitoring: Combines moisture detection with slab temperature feedback for optimized boiler cycling.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Silicon brass exterior is designed for long-term exposure in high-traffic driveways and walkways.
- Extended Connectivity: Includes 65 feet of weather-resistant wire for direct runs to the mechanical room.
Common Questions
Which controls is this sensor compatible with?
The Tekmar 090 is compatible with Tekmar snow melting controls including the 654, 661, 662, 664, 665, 667, and 680 series.
Does this include the mounting socket?
No, this is the sensor only. Installation requires a Tekmar 091 sensor socket to be cast into the slab during the pour.
Can the cable be extended if 65 feet is insufficient?
Yes, the cable can be extended using 18 AWG, 5-conductor wire, though it is recommended to keep runs within manufacturer-specified limits to prevent voltage drop or signal interference.
