controls and monitoring
To determine the optimum control method you should consider that when the cables are energized (ambient method) and there is no snow/ice present power will be consumed unnecessarily. On the other hand if you rely on manual control and someone neglects to turn on the system when necessary, the inevitable snow/ice will form thereby defeating the original purpose of the installation.
MANUAL PLUG-IN CONNECTION
The heat cable is switched manually. This method requires supervision to work effectively.

Moisture & Temperture Control
This method ensures that the heat cable is energized only when a combination of moisture and low temperature are present, thereby keeping the roof and gutters free of snow/ice. When either the precipitation ceases, or the temperature rises above freezing, the heating cable is turned off thus conserving energy.
