30 Ice & Rain Protection
MAINTENANCE TIPS
VALVES
The hot air from the pneumatic system is supplied to each wing via a
pressure control shut-off valve. This valve is electrically controlled to
open and pneumatically operated. In case of electrical failure or lack of
pressure, the valve closes.
CONTROLS
The valves are controlled from the cockpit by a Wing Anti-Ice (WAI)
P/B. On ground and only for test purposes, the WAI P/B electrically
opens the valves for 30 seconds.
DUCTS
Air reaches slat 3 through a telescopic duct. It is distributed to the
outboard slats by piccolo ducts, interconnected by flexible connections.
A restrictor located downstream from the control valve adjusts the airflow.
It also limits the flow in case of rupture of a distribution duct.
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30P2000000001
USERS
Only the three outboard slats are protected by the hot anti-icing air. Due
to the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, slats 1 and 2 do not need
to be protected.
USERS
CAUTION: In this case, the system must be switched off to prevent slat
overheat damage.

If either anti-ice valve remains closed when the system is set to ON, an
aural warning sounds, the MASTER CAUT light comes on. The failure
is shown amber on the EWD and the ECAM BLEED page is displayed
automatically. In this case, the fault light on the WAI P/B is on due to
LP detection.

EIU
The EIUs acquire system selection for engine power increase according
to the bleed demand.
LGCIU
The Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIUs) send a shock
absorber extended signal to the control relay to enable the system to be
controlled when the A/C is in flight configuration.
SDAC
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30F1000000001
The SDACs acquire discrete inputs to display the system status on the
ECAM warning page, ECAM MEMO page and ECAM BLEED page.
ZC
The Zone Controller (ZC) acquires discrete inputs to monitor the system
and manage the bleed air. It stores failure data of the WAI system.
ZC
VALVE
For each engine, hot bleed air is controlled by an OPEN/CLOSED valve.
In the absence of air pressure, the valve is spring-loaded to the closed
position. With air pressure available and solenoid energized, the valve
closes. In case of loss of electrical power supply, the valve is fully open
provided engine bleed air pressure is high enough.
CONTROLS
For each engine, the OPEN/CLOSED valve is controlled by a P/BSW
located on the ANTI ICE section of the overhead panel. When the engine
Anti-ice (A.ICE) valve is open, the cabin Zone Controller (ZC) determines
the bleed demand for the Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)
system. This decreases the N1 for CFM56 and Engine Pressure Ratio
(EPR) limit for V2500 relative to the ambient conditions, the engine
operating conditions and the load of the A.ICE bleed.
USERS
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30P1000000001
The engine air intake is protected by its related bleed air, which heats the
inlet leading edge in icing conditions. The hot air is then discharged
overboard.
ECAM PAGE
If at least one of the two engine air intake anti-ice protection systems is
selected ON, a message appears in green on the upper ECAM MEMO
display.
ECAM PAGE
SDAC
The SDACs acquire the P/BSW configuration and the "FAULT" condition
information to display system status on the ECAM warning page and
ECAM MEMO page.
ZC
The Zone Controller (ZC) acquires the "valve not closed" position
information from the valve position switch for bleed air management.

CONTROL
The probes and static ports heating come on automatically when at least
one engine is running. It can also be manually activated by the
PROBE/WINDOW HEAT P/B. On ground, pitot heating is reduced and
TAT heating is cut off, the Landing Gear Control and Interface Units
(LGCIUs) control both.
PHC
Heating monitoring and fault indication is given by the related PHC. A
probe or a sensor heating failure is sent to the ECAM via an Air
Data/Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) and the Flight Warning Computers
(FWCs). The PHC also transmits fault messages to the Centralized Fault
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30P3000000001
CAUTION
Pulling the PHC or Engine Interface Unit (EIU) power supply C/Bs causes

LGCIU
When one of the three control conditions is met, the flight condition
enables heating of the TAT sensor and full wave heating of the pitot
probe.
ENGINE RELAYS
The Engine Interface Unit (EIU) energizes the oil low-pressure and ground
relays, when the related engine is not running. If you have to pull the
EIU power supply C/B, the related engine oil low-pressure and ground
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30D1000000001
relays are de-energized, this will cause related probes and static ports to
be heated.
POWER SUPPLY
The Probe Heat Computer (PHC) is supplied with 28 VDC. The static
ports are supplied with 28 VDC; the Angle-Of-Attack (AOA) sensor,
TAT sensor and pitot probe are supplied with 115 VAC. If you pull the
PHC power supplied C/B, the related probes and static ports will be fully
heated.
CFDIU
CONTROL
Windshield and windows heating comes on automatically when at least
one engine is running. It can also be manually activated by the
PROBE/WINDOW HEAT P/B. The windshield heating operates at low
power on the ground and high power in flight.
WHC
Temperature regulation, overheat protection and fault indication are given
by each WHC. In case of a windshield or window heating fault, the WHC
sends an output signal to the ECAM via the System Data Acquisition
Concentrator (SDAC). The WHCs also transmit fault messages to the
Centralized Fault Display Interface Unit (CFDIU).

L(R) WINDSHIELD
If either windshield heating is faulty, an aural warning sounds, the
MASTER CAUT comes on. The failure is shown amber on the EWD.
The detection of extreme temperature or failure of the associated sensor
causes:
- warning activation,
- automatic cut-off of the windshield heating.
L(R) WINDOW
If either the sliding window or the fixed window heating is faulty, the
failure is shown amber on the EWD. The detection of extreme temperature
or failure of the associated sensor causes:

CONTROL
When the RAIN RePeLleNT P/B is pressed in, the solenoid valve opens
for a short time. This causes a measured quantity of rain repellent liquid
to be sprayed on to the related windshield. To repeat the cycle, the P/B
must be pressed again. On ground, the rain repellent system is inhibited
when both engines are shut down.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Make sure that the fluid does not stay on the A/C structure.
If the fluid gets on the A/C structure, wash it off immediately
with soap and water.
Do not apply the rain repellent fluid on a dry surface.

DEACTIVATION
PURGE CIRCUIT
The spray nozzle lines are permanently purged by air from cabin hot air
supply. The blow-out reservoir works as a pressure accumulator, a
decanting reservoir and has a test connection.
OPERATION
Upon actuation of the P/B, the time-controlled solenoid valve of the
associated side releases out fluid to the spray nozzle for a preset period
of time. To initiate a new cycle, it is necessary to release, then to press
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30D3000000001
the P/B again. Between each cycle, the lines are automatically and
permanently purged by hot air. The pressure indication shows the nitrogen
pressure in the bottle. When the needle is in the yellow range, or the can
is completely empty, the bottle should be replaced.
OPERATION
USERS
The flexible heater foil, bonded on the drain mast tube, is temperature
regulated via a sensor and powered by the drain mast heating Control
Unit (CU). The AC power supply line, within the drain mast, is installed
with a thermal switch opening at 57°C (135°F). It will regulate the
temperature in case of normal temperature control failure.
CONTROL UNIT
The CU regulates the temperature of the drain mast tube. The correct
operation of the system is monitored by the BITE function of the CU.
Each CU regulates the heating temperature of the associated drain mast
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30P6000000001
MONITORING
The system status is sent to the Cabin Intercommunication Data System
(CIDS) for indication on the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP) and the
programming and test panel. The failure of the Heater (HTR) or CU is
indicated on the FAP by a CIDS CAUTion light, on the programming
and test panel and on the front face of the CU by HTR and CU lights.
The drain mast data is stored in the Centralized Fault Display Interface
Unit (CFDIU).

Two levels of detection are given:
- "ICE DETECTED" corresponding to an elementary detection,
- "SEVERE ICE DETECTED" corresponding to 7 successive elementary
detections.
The ice detection system is operating at electrical power-up. It sends
warning messages when the aircraft is in flight, depending on the altitude
and when Total Air Temperature (TAT) is below 8°C (46.4°F), even with
one ice detector faulty.
MESSAGES
U2B05411 - U0GT1M0 - UM30P9000000001

Each ice detector is installed with a BITE function for continuous
monitoring. The "FAULT" signals are also sent to the System Data
Acquisition Concentrator (SDAC) and to the Centralized Fault Display
Interface Unit (CFDIU).
MONITORING
SDAC
Each ice detector sends a "FAULT" signal to System Data Acquisition
Concentrators (SDACs) 1 and 2 in case of failure during either power-up,
MCDU or in operation tests. A class 1 failure message is displayed on
the EWD in case of dual ice detector failure.
CFDIU
Each ice detector sends a "FAULT" signal to the Centralized Fault Display
Interface Unit (CFDIU) in case of failure during either power-up, MCDU
or in operation tests. A class 2 fault message is displayed on the MCDU
ANTI-ICE ICE DETECTOR 1 or 2 system page in case of ice detector
failure.
When wing anti-ice valves are controlled to open, two ground signals
are sent to the ice detectors in order to reset the ice detection counter and
cut off the "SEVERE" signal.
