It's possible to run the heaters at any voltage below 24V but the heaters will generate proportionally less heat reducing their ability to prevent ice build-up. (2) Each hood takes 30W, 60W is the total for both hoods on the sensor together. (3) The ground of the CS120A and the earth of any RS485 equipment cannot be further apart than this voltage. A 100 resistor can be used to connect the CS120A RS485 earth to other equipment. This will reduce any parasitic currents and bring the two earths closer together if a direct connection cannot be made. (4) The RS232 communications interface will automatically turn itself off when not transmitting. (5) If hood heaters are not being used ensure `Hood heater override' (details in Section 13) is set to off. 4.

(1) It is recommended that the hood heaters are run
at 24V AC/DC.
It’s possible to run the heaters at
any voltage below 24V but the heaters will generate proportionally less heat reducing their ability to
prevent ice build-up.
(2) Each hood takes 30W, 60W is the total for both hoods on the sensor together.
(3) The ground of the CS120A and the earth of any RS485 equipment cannot be further apart than this
voltage.
A 100
resistor can be used to connect the CS120A RS485 earth to other equipment.
This
will reduce any parasitic currents and bring the two earths closer together if a direct connection cannot
be made.
(4) The RS232 communications interface will automatically turn itself off when not transmitting.
(5
) If hood heaters are not being used ensure `Hood heater override’ (details in Section 13) is set t
o off.
