QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
An aircraft ice detector sensor cover protects the sensitive ice detection system during ground operations and maintenance. Without a cover, sensors can be accidentally struck, contaminated, or overheated, which can affect their accuracy and shorten service life. Using a cover like the Sesame 0061BN1 helps maintain proper ice accretion readings and ensures the system is ready to function in flight.
Ice detector sensors play a crucial role in alerting flight crews to ice buildup on critical surfaces. If the sensor is damaged or contaminated on the ground, it may deliver inaccurate data, compromising safety during flight. Covers like the 0061BN1 reduce these risks by keeping the sensor clean, intact, and free from accidental damage until the aircraft is ready to depart.
Ice detector sensors often generate heat during operation, which can cause burns if touched directly. The 0061BN1 cover includes a high-temperature silicone liner that insulates the sensor, preventing direct contact with hot surfaces. This safety feature helps protect maintenance crews and ground staff during servicing or inspections.
The Sesame Technologies 0061BN1 is specifically designed for use with Collins Aerospace 0871 family sensors, including models 0871CT, 0871PD, 0871NA, and 0871ND. These sensors are widely installed across commercial, business, and military aircraft. This broad compatibility makes the cover suitable for a wide range of operators and fleets.
Yes, the 0061BN1 is manufactured under ISO 9001 and AS9100D quality assurance systems, ensuring it meets rigorous aviation production standards. It also complies with CFR 25.853 flammability requirements, meaning it has been tested for flame resistance in aerospace environments. The NAS1756-approved warning streamer further enhances safety by ensuring visibility during preflight checks.
The high-temperature silicone liner inside the 0061BN1 prevents metal-to-metal contact between the sensor and the cover. This reduces the chance of scratches or surface damage while also cushioning the sensor against small impacts. The liner is heat-resistant, ensuring it continues to protect effectively even when the sensor generates high temperatures.
Yes, the 0061BN1 is designed for use on commercial airlines, business jets, and military aircraft equipped with Collins Aerospace 0871 series sensors. Its universal fit and compliance with industry standards make it a versatile option for MROs, FBOs, and defense operators alike.
By preventing damage to ice detector sensors, the 0061BN1 helps ensure that aircraft systems remain fully functional and compliant with airworthiness requirements. Damaged or faulty sensors may trigger costly inspections or delays. Using certified protective covers helps operators comply with FAA and international maintenance standards.
Unlike generic options, the 0061BN1 is specifically engineered for the Collins Aerospace 0871 family of sensors. Its anodized aluminum construction, silicone liner, and NAS-approved warning streamer are tailored for aviation use, ensuring a precise fit, superior protection, and compliance with aerospace safety regulations.
The 0061BN1 features a lightweight design with a warning streamer, making it easy for technicians to install or remove during routine maintenance. The snug fit ensures it stays securely in place without requiring special tools. Its high-visibility streamer also ensures crews remember to remove it before flight operations.
By shielding the sensor from accidental contact, debris, and environmental hazards, the 0061BN1 reduces wear and tear on the ice detection system. This protection minimizes the need for premature replacements or repairs, lowering maintenance costs. Over time, consistent use of covers helps operators get maximum service life from their sensors.
