The sensor cover comprises: one heating element (7) that heats a surface of the cover; an electric connector (6) that connects the at least one heating element (7) with a power source; and at least one control device (10) that controls de operation of the at least one heating element (7); wherein the at least one heating element (7) generates a variable electrical resistance depending on the variation of its temperature, that is detected by the at least one control device (10), said at least one control device (10) powering on or off the at least one heating element (7) according to the electric resistance detected by the at least one control device (10).It permits a direct measure of the whole heating element, providing a more precise and reactive control of the sensor cover temperature.
