IPMA Camera Heated Windshield Element

The IPMA camera heated windshield element keeps the windshield in front of the IPMA clear of condensation, frost and ice. The IPMA uses input from the IPMA camera and the ambient air temperature to turn the IPMA camera heated windshield element on and off as needed. Voltage and ground are supplied to the heated windshield element by the IPMA. After start-up, the IPMA camera heated windshield element may be commanded on if the ambient temperature is below 5 deg.C (41 deg.F).

The IPMA camera windshield defrost heating element is a resistive-type heater grid that is adhered to the inside of the windshield directly in front of the IPMA camera. Before replacing the IPMA camera heated windshield element or the IPMA for an IPMA camera heated windshield element concern, verify the integrity of the wiring, connectors and terminals on the jumper harness.
