Does the sensor work in coolant?
No, the sensor does not work with fluids that are predominantly water.
The sensor is specifically designed to be used in oil. Using it in a predominantly water based fluid will return results that are unreadable and may damage the sensor.

How does the sensor work?
The sensor measures complex permittivity (which is a ratio between conductance and capacitance). The sensor does this does this by introducing energy into the fluid via a high frequency AC waveform Sensor induces energy into the fluid via a HF AC ...
Does the sensor work in fuel?
Yes, the sensor is compatible with fuel. We have several examples of the sensor being used to monitor fuel condition and the presence of contaminants, or other substances being added to fuel.
What types of oil does the sensor work with?
The sensor is capable of working in synthetic, semi synthetic and mineral oils. The database of oils currently profiled for the sensor can be checked on our website HERE The current oil database can also be downloaded from our website for using with ...
What orientation does the sensor need to be installed in?
The sensor will work in any orientation, however "nose up" should be avoided as any particles in the oil may collect around the sensor head and give an incorrect reading. "Nose up" installations should be avoided where possible and are not suitable ...
What is the maximum pressure the sensor can be installed into?
The sensor can work in systems up to a maximum pressure of 70 bar. Maximum pressure of 70bar If a system operates at a higher pressure, we recommend installation into the low pressure return for the system, or into the system reservoir tank. Sensor ...
