The Low Temperature Cutoff (LTC) option is typically used on snow melting systems with limited output capacity where melting cannot be maintained at very low temperature. If selected, the snow sensor will clear a trigger below 5°F (-15°C) even if snow is still falling. It will resume normal operation above 9°F (-13°C). However, the sensor will remember if it was triggered before the drop below 5°F or if snow was detected during the cold period.
