High-Performance Automatic Control Device for Road Heaters Model FRC-J3
FRC-J3 type
A high-performance control system ideal for snow melting, snow removal, and freeze prevention! Automatic control of four-element information prevents unnecessary heating, achieving cost reduction and energy savings.
The "FRC-J3 type" is a high-function road heating control device that automatically maintains an appropriate road surface temperature based on four elements of information: snow melting, snow removal water content, outside air temperature, and road surface temperature, according to the weather conditions and road surface situation that require continuous heating. With a single unit, it can independently control up to six sections, enabling detailed control. Furthermore, thanks to its programmable feature that allows for free reference and modification of the software according to control conditions and abnormalities, it consistently performs optimal snow melting control. It has achieved approximately 40% miniaturization of the control device compared to the basic model (compared to our second model control panel), making it more economical as the scale increases. Additionally, by utilizing the high performance of computers and collaborating with central monitoring devices and mobile devices (both wired and wireless), it is possible to efficiently and collectively manage extensive road heating facilities.

Applications/Examples of results
Purpose: Automatic control of road heating, snow melting, snow removal, and freeze prevention systems for roads, sidewalks, bridges, parking lots, and slopes. Efficient centralized management of multiple road heating facilities over a wide area. Practical examples: Freeze prevention in large parking lots: Efficiently managing divided parking spaces with a single unit and reducing electricity costs by performing appropriate temperature control only during snowfall. Ensuring safety on steep roads and slopes: Automatically detecting changes in outside temperature and road conditions to prevent slip accidents caused by freezing. Remote management from a central monitoring room: In large areas and public infrastructure, using central monitoring computers and printers to collectively monitor operating conditions and abnormal data.
