DESCRIPTION 

The patented SC-40 Satellite Contactor is a power control peripheral for a APS-4 Snow Switch and similar Environmental Technology, Inc. products. The APS-4 Snow Switch operates the SC-40s whenever its contactor operates. That is, during snow and for the hold/on time thereafter. 

The integral 30 mA ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) along with a test/reset facility ensure safety along with NEC and local code compliance. Partitioning heater loads for multiple SC-40s prevents the nuisance GFCI tripping that is often unavoidable when controlling a large system with a single contactor. The self-test facility operates heaters for one minute with a duty cycle limited to 33% for safer heater testing during the summer months. 

An APS-4 operates up to ten SC-40s. The size and location of the heaters determines the number of SC-40s required. The APS-4 and its SC-40s can be separated by up to 1,000ft (305m). 

Supply voltage options include 240 single phase or 208, 277 and 480 volts 3 phase, with a contactor rating of 50 amps per pole. For installation simplicity, SC-40 control wiring is NEC Class 2. 

The SC-40's nonmetallic enclosure is rated for protected NEMA 3R locations in the temperature range of -40º to 160º F (-40º to 60º C).
