The ASE DS series of sensors and controllers combines a balance of price, sophistication, and control capabilities. Each unit features a sturdy NEMA 3R-enclosed, weather-resistant housing suitable for outdoor use.

The units’ electronic components are designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of -40oC to +85oC. They also meet or exceed relevant safety and regulatory standards, including ETL UL Standard 508/CSA C22.2 No. 14 and European CE EMC directives, making them suitable for use in both domestic and international settings.

This design approach favors modularity and upgradeability over single-component replacement, particularly for the precipitation sensor. Instead of discarding the entire unit due to a malfunctioning component, the ASE DS series supports easy adjustments and component replacements.

Our use of microcontrollers allows for a universal design that provides flexibility and standardization across the product line. The DS series accepts a wide voltage range of 100VAC to 277VAC, and corresponding low-voltage companions are also available for specific applications. Additionally, all options and settings for each unit are field-selectable, streamlining product variations and reducing inventory requirements.

To further enhance compatibility and convenience, our units now ship with international-standard pigtail cable color codes and a 3/4″ base conduit hub, along with a 3/4″-to-1/2″ threaded reducing bushing for seamless integration.

Standardization with the DS series can minimize variants, reduce costs, and minimize inventory requirements, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced logistical complexity.
