Do I need to configure the sensor?

Do I need to configure the sensor?

Yes, the sensor is configured using a PC, configuration cable (Cable J) and the Tan Delta CADS application prior to installation.
Help and support for the installation and use of the CADS application can be found HERE

Prior to installation the sensor must be configured for the required communication protocol and also the oil the sensor is going to be used in.

The sensor configuration can also be updated using a PC and configuration cable after installation without needing to remove the sensor from the asset.
