General The Rosemount Aerospace 0871LH1 Freezing Rain Sensor is a one-piece unit that detects the presence of icing condition. Twenty-four volts DC input power is provided to the freezing rain sensor. The freezing rain sensor outputs include ice detection indication and fault status indication.

sensing probe. The added mass of accreted ice causes the frequency of the sensing probe to decrease in accordance with the laws of classical mechanics. A 0.020” (0.5 mm) thickness of ice on the probe causes the operating frequency of the probe to decrease by approximately 130 Hz.
Physical Description The freezing rain sensor is an integrated unit containing both the sensor and processing electronics. It contains a 2.9” (7.35 cm) square faceplate for mounting to the 0871LH1MNT and a 2.86” (7.28 cm) diameter housing containing the processing electronics. The unit weighs 0.7 lbs.
Mounting Considerations Figure 4 Mounting (part #0871LH1 MNT) The freezing rain sensor should be mounted to a sturdy crossarm located away from buildings or other obstacles that could shadow the sensing element from freezing rain. The sensor should be installed so that the sensing probe is a minimum 36 inches above the ground.

Appendix A RS-422 Output Format for non-Campbell Datalogger Applications This output operates at 9600 BAUD (One Start Bit, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, One Stop Bit). A 24-byte string is sent once per second. See section 10.2 for string definition.
Continuous BIT consists of verifying the following: • The probe heater is in the correct state. The return leg of the heater is monitored. • The ICE discrete output is in the correct state. The ICE discrete output is fed back to the microcontroller through a passive voltage divider and voltage comparator.

thus changing the frequency and tripping the probe, the voltage reading will immediately drop to a reading below 500mvDC. Observing this will verify that the probe is operating properly and give the user enough time to release the probe before it reaches its full heating temperature.
• Resets due to unknown reasons (such as reset from the watchdog timer) are detected. Initiated BIT will examine the RESET EEPROM input. If the input is active, the STATUS output will be set to FAIL and the ICE output and probe heater will be disabled. (This feature allows a factory technician to perform the MSO capacitor selection process without activation of the probe heater.) Activation of the Press-to-Test (PTT) input for greater than 100...

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Consideration The freezing rain sensor internal components are ESD sensitive, class 1, so proper ESD precautions must be observed (wrist straps, conductive surfaces) when handling.

Microcontroller The freezing rain sensor uses an Intel 87C51-type microcontroller to control the freezing rain sensor functions. This 8-bit microcontroller requires at least: 4 Kbytes of on-board ROM, 128 bytes of RAM, and 32 input/output ports. The freezing rain sensor uses about 75% of these resources. Upgraded microcontrollers that provide more resources are available.

Heater Control The heater control turns the probe heater on and off as commanded by the microcontroller and monitors the actual heater state (ON or OFF) for verification by the microcontroller.
