Technical Description

0872E3 detects ice accumulation on an ultrasonic axially vibrating tube and communicates the associated frequency changes through an RS-232 or digital current loop data link.

The 0872E3 is mounted on a pole and is designed to operate continuously in an outdoor environment. The 0872E3 requires only period recalibration; no other maintenance is normally required.

The 0872E3 consists of four functional assemblies: a Main circuit card assembly (CCA), an Output Interface CCA, a Filter assembly, and a Strut and Probe assembly. The CCAs and all electrical connections are contained within the 0872E3s housing.
