CDP-2 SNOW SENSOR CONTROL/DISPLAY PANEL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Read all instructions carefully before installation.
Save this Installation Manual for future reference.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. THIS UNIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY!
2. To avoid shock hazard do not open the front cover of the attached
rain/snow sensor controller with power connected to the controller
or any controlled equipment.
3. Always open any circuit breakers and remove power from any high
voltage electrical circuits installed in close proximity to or sharing an
enclosure with the CDP-2 prior to removing the enclosure cover plate.
OVERVIEW
The
CDP-2 Snow Sensor Control/Display Panel is used in conjunction with a DS-2C or DS-5 Rain/Snow
Sensor Controller. The sensor is typically mounted on a roof, near a gutter, or in a similarly difficult location
to reach. The CDP-2 provides a method of remotely monitoring and controlling the attached sensor. The
user may monitor both the operating mode and the activation state of the sensor. The user may also set
the sensor to prohibit automatic operation, to automatically operate, or to manually operate one snow
melting cycle, then return to automatic operation. The CDP-2 derives its power from the snow sensor and
requires no batteries or AC power. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C the CDP-2 is
designed for use either indoors or outdoors with proper protection from the elements.
INSTALLING THE CDP-2 CONTROL/DISPLAY PANEL
Installation requires a CS-1 Remote Control/Monitor Pigtail for the snow sensor and an appropriate 5-
conductor cable for installation between the snow sensor and the CDP-2. The cable conductors must be
tinned, stranded, minimum 22 AWG copper and overall shielding is required. An appropriate selection is
Belden® 9941 or equiv. The CDP-2 can be installed as much as 500 feet away from the snow sensor if
proper cable is used. Remove all power to the snow sensor, open its cover, and install the CS-1 pigtail.
Install the 5-conductor cable between the sensor and the CDP-2 enclosure. Ground the “drain” wire on
one end only and terminate the cable leads to the CS-1 following the table below:

The CDP-2 may be installed in a conventional single or multi gang standard electrical enclosure. If installed
in a multi gang enclosure next to high voltage equipment the CDP-2 and its interconnecting cable must
be isolated from high voltage wires and devices. Consult local electrical codes to determine the isolation
methods required. Remove 2 in. (50mm) of outer insulation and shield from the 5-conductor cable.
Remove ¼ in. (6mm) of insulation from the individual inner conductors.
Following the above table press the clamp button on the terminal block, insert the bare lead into the
clamp hole, then release.
