====== Ice Detector ====== *Description: Rosemount Aerospace Model 0871LM5 Series 3 Ice Output Detector *Manufacturer: Goodrich *Serial Number: 0325 ====== Signal Conditioner ====== *Description: Rosemount Aerospace Model 850L6 *Manufacturer: Goodrich *Serial Number: 23419 ===== Serial Connection Configuration ===== * RS-422 * Baud Rate 19,200 * Data Bits 8 * Stop Bits 1 * Parity 0 * Flow Control - None ===== Problems and Solutions ===== *Communications / Data Retrieval Issues October 20, 2010. Worked w/ Dave to communicate to the Rosemount Ice Detector. Found the db9 pin connector wired incorrectly. Re-wired the configuration so that the J-TXA = pin 1, K-TXB = pin 4, and M-Grnd - pin 5. Retrieved data from the sensor for analysis *Communications / M300 and Laptop Test Cables / Wiring issues November 09, 2010. Worked w/ Dave and Pavle on wiring / communications issues. Found our 9 pin connector configuration had issues. Re-wired it and made adapter / harness's as follows: grnd 5 - 5 grnd grnd 5 - 5 grnd rx+ 4 - 1 rx+ = RS422 - USB rx+ 4 - 1 rx+ = RS422 - M300 rx- 3 - 2 rx- rx- 3 - 4 rx- =====Data Example===== The images below show basic features found within the Ice Detector frequency data, including a period of clear air flight, ice accretion, ice removal from the probe during a heating event, and sublimation of ice from the probe via sublimation. {{:atmos:citation:instruments:icedector:icingindications_12feb2012_fullflight.png|Ice Detector Frequency Data on 12 Feb 2012 - Full Flight}} {{:atmos:citation:instruments:icedector:icingindications_12feb2012_87400-90000.png|Ice Detector Frequency Data on 12 Feb 2012 - 24:16:40 to 25:00:00 UTC}}
