Can the sensor detect wear material?
Yes, the sensor will detect wear material, both ferrous and non-ferrous.
Wear material typically shows up as a change in the oil behaviour, often as disrupted data which is not directly related to changes in the oil temperature.
The Sense-2 display has in-built algorithms to help identify data trends related to oil contamination.
These algorithms can also be applied to an installation into a third party system. Details of this are provided in our product manual.

Can the sensor detect water in oil?
Yes, the sensor output is affected by the presence of water in oil, therefore you can see the presence of water in oil quite clearly when viewing the sensor data. The sensor will see water in all three states (dissolved, emulsion and free), the ...

The sensor body and nose is made from SS304 and the central electrode is of nickel plated brass.
How often should I take a reading from the sensor?
Our Sense-2 and Sense-3 kits are pre-set to take a reading from the sensor at a standard time interval. Both kits enable you to set alert and alarm levels for oil condition and offer a customisable solution for oil condition monitoring. For most ...
What is the sensor measuring?
The sensor is monitoring the overall condition of the oil using our Full Spectrum Holistic (FSH) technology. In practice this means the sensor is monitoring the whole condition of the oil using a method called complex permittivity, which is a ratio ...
