SENSOR INST ALLA TION
Ground sensor EF 50-25 H, fig. 1+3:
F or installation on outdoor areas wher e snow
and ice is a regular pr oblem. The sensor must
be embedded horizontally with its top flush with
the surroundings. Use the accompanying instal-
lation plate.
The sensor cable must be installed in accord-
ance with current r egulations. We r ecommend
that cable pipes be laid to prot ect the sensor
cable. Detailed installation instructions are sup-
plied with the sensor .
Gutter sensor F 50-10 RH, fig. 2+4:
F or installation in a gutter , or downpipe on the
sunny side of the building. It is important to
ensure that the sensor contact elements face
against the flow of melt water . If necessary, two
sensors can be installed in parallel. Detailed
installation instructions are supplied with the
sensor .
Note that the pink and grey wir es are not used.
Outdoor sensor A TF 5, fig. 2+4:
A TF 5 is for use with gutter sensor F 50-10 RH.
A TF 5 can also be used separately for the de-
tection of temper ature alone. The sensor should
be mounted on the wall beneath the eaves on
the north side of the building.
Sensor cables:
EF 50-25 H and F 50-10 RH are supplied with
25/10 m cable, which can be extended up t o
appro x. 200 m using standard installation cable:
6x1.5 mm² for EF 50-25 H and 4x1.5 mm² for
F 50-10 RH. The A TF 5 cable can be up to
appro x. 50 m in length. Sensor cables must be
installed in accordance with curr ent regulations.
They must never be installed parallel t o power
cables as electrical interference may dist ort the
sensor signal.
EM 50-2 installation
The unit is intended to be DIN-r ail mounted in
an approved panel.
Wall mounting:
F or USA and Canada: The thermostat can be
wall-mounted in a specially designed and UL -
approved metal bo x (accessory).
F or other countries: The accompanying plastic
cover can be used for wall mounting in an
indoor area.
Connect supply voltage to terminals N and L. All
electrical and mechanical installation must be
performed in accordance with applicable local
regulations.
SETUP:
• 1-zone electric heating control with
EF 50-25 H (fig. 3+6):
Connect 1 or 2 EF 50-25 H sensors to termi-
nals 11-16 for sensor 1 and terminals 11-20
for sensor 2.
Connect heating cable to output relays 1, 2
and 3 according to fig. 8.
• 1-zone electric heating control with
F 50-10 RH + A TF 5 (fig. 4+7):
Connect 1 or 2 F 50-10 RH sensors to termi-
nals 11-16 for sensor 1 and terminals 11-20
for sensor 2.
Note that the pink and grey wir es are not
used.
Connect 1 A TF 5 sensor to terminals 31-32.
Connect heating cable to output relays 1, 2
and 3 according to fig. 8.
• 2-zone electric heating control with

relay 2 accor ding to fig. 8.
• 2-zone electric heating control with
F 50-10 RH (fig. 7):
Connect 2 F 50-10 RH sensors to terminals
11-20. Note that the pink and grey wir es are
not used.
Connect heating cable for zone 1 to output
relay 1 accor ding to fig. 8.
Connect heating cable for zone 2 to output
relay 2 accor ding to fig. 8.
Output relay 3 is not active.
• 2-zone electric heating control with
F 50-10 RH and EF 50-25 H (fig. 5+17):
Connect 1 F 50-10 RH sensor to terminals
11-16 as sensor 1. Note that the pink and
grey wir es are not used.
Connect 1 EF 50-25 H sensor to terminals
11-20 as sensor 2. Connect heating cable
for zone 1 (roof) to output relay 1 according
to fig. 8.
Connect 1 A TF 5 sensor to terminals 31-32.
Connect heating cable for zone 2 (ground) to
output relay 2 accor ding to fig. 8.
Output relay 3 is not active.
• 1-zone electric heating control and output
control (Y/∆) (fig. 9+10):
Advanced 2-step control with EF 50-25 H.
1/3 power on heating cables in afterrun.
Connect 1 or 2 EF 50-25 H sensors to termi-
nals 11-20.
Connect external contact or/relays t o output
relays 1, 2 and 3 accor ding to fig. 10.
• Remote control (fig. 15):
The forced heat and standby functions can
be remotely contr olled by wiring EM 50-2 to
external butt ons/relays (normally open).
Connect external standby butt on to termi-
nals 33-34.
Connect external for ced heat button t o
terminals 35-36.
TESTING SNOW MEL TING SYS TEM
After completing installation and application
setup, it is recommended that the snow melting
system be test ed.
1. Adjust SET TEMP in the setup menu to max .
temper ature.
2. Pour some wat er onto the sensor
(EF 50-25 H/F 50-10 RH).
3. The output relay for the heating cable in the
zone concerned should activate and ON
should be indicated on the EM 50-2 display .
Check that the heating cable becomes
warm, check the voltage if possible.
4. After testing, adjust SET TEMP back to the
desired setting
(factory setting = +3.0°C / 37.4°F).
