Texas Instruments proprietary Deice Mode is composed of five bursts, which are enumerated bursts (16, 8, 9, 13, 14). The settings for the enumerated bursts (8, 9, 13, 14) are the same as those used in Water Mode. The additional burst (16) is a heating mode used to heat the transducer. The additional burst (16) can be interchanged with burst 17 or programmed manually depending on the heating region. The duration of the heat burst can be adjusted as needed. These bursts are set up by running Section 4.3.4. Understanding the rate at which the LCS heats up and setting the temperature protection setting appropriately is important. TI recommends enabling Continuous Temperature protection when running the Deice Mode.
