Type nVent RAYCHEM RayStat-M2 is an
electronic thermostat for economical ice
and snow melting on outdoor areas and in
gutters. Ice forms due to a combination of low
temperature and moisture. RayStat-M2 detects
temperature and moisture and the snow melting
system will usually only be activated if snow
or ice is present. RayStat-M2 is suitable for
controlling electric heating cables.

SENSOR INSTALLATION
Ground sensor, fig. 1 + 3:
For installation in outdoor surfaces where ice and
snow are a regular problem. The sensor must be
embedded horizontally with its top flush with the
surrounding surface.
The sensor cable must be installed in accordance
with current regulations.
NOTE: We strongly recommend the use of cable
pipes in order to protect the sensor cable. Detailed
installation instructions are supplied with the
sensor.
With RayStat-M2-G-Sensor, use the accompanying
installation plate.
Gutter sensor RayStat-M2-R-Sensor, fig. 2 + 4:
For installation in a gutter or downpipe on the
sunny side of the building. It is important to
ensure that the sensor contact elements face
against the flow of melt water. Be aware that
the pink and grey wire must not be installed.
Detailed installation instructions are supplied
with the sensor.
Outdoor sensor RayStat-M2-A-Sensor, fig.
2 + 4:
For use in conjunction with gutter sensor
RayStat-M2-R-Sensor. Can also be used
separately for the detection of temperature
alone. The sensor should be mounted on the
wall under the eaves on the north side of the
building.
Sensor cables
RayStat-M2-G-Sensor and RayStat-M2-R-Sensor
are supplied with 10 m cable, which can be
extended up to approx. 200 m using standard
installation cable: 6x1.5 mm 2 for RayStat-M2-G-
Sensor and 4x1.5 mm 2 for RayStat-M2-R-Sensor.
The RayStat-M2-A-Sensor cable can be up to
approx. 50 m in length. Sensor cables must be
installed in accordance with current regulations.
They must never be installed parallel to power
cables as electrical interference may distort the
sensor signal.
Thermostat installation
The thermostat should be DIN-rail mounted in an
approved panel.
Connect supply voltage to terminals 1 and 2.
Electrical installation must be performed in
accordance with applicable local regulations.
Setup
RayStat-M2 can be set up for ice and snow
melting on outdoor areas in conjunction with
RayStat-M2-G-Sensor sensors or in gutters/
downpipes in conjunction with RayStat-M2-R-
Sensor and RayStat-M2-A-Sensor sensors.
• Electric heating control with RayStat-M2-G-
Sensor
(fig. 5 + 7):
Connect 1 RayStat-M2-G-Sensor sensor to
terminals 8-14.
Connect heating cable to output relay
according to fig. 7.
• Electric heating control with RayStat-M2-R-
Sensor + RayStat-M2-A-Sensor
(fig. 6 + 7):
Connect 1 RayStat-M2-R-Sensor sensor to
terminals 10-14. Note that the pink and grey
wires must not be connected.
Connect 1 RayStat-M2-A-Sensor sensor to

Connect heating cable to output relay
according to fig. 7.
How to program the sensitivity:
1.
Turn off the power to the RayStat-M2.
2.
Connect a wire between terminals 8 and 9
3.
Connect a wire between terminals 10 and 11
4.
Turn the TIME SET knob to max. (constantly
on).
5.
Turn the TEMP SET knob to max. (10).
6.
Turn on the power. The LED for ON will
flash.
a.
The LEDs for TEMP, MOIST and RELAY
will light constantly, indicating the factory
setting for sensitivity level.
7.
Program the sensitivity level by turning the
TIME SET knob from 1-5 (1=min., 2=low,
3=normal/factory setting, 4=high, 5=max.).
a.
The combination of LEDs will indicate the
programmed sensitivity (see matrix below).
8.
Turn off the power and select the required
settings for temperature (TEMP SET) and
after-run time (TIME SET).
9.
Remove the wires connecting terminals 8
and 9 and terminals 10 and 11.
10. Install the temperature sensor and moisture
sensor as normal.
