How fast will the sensor react to changes in the oil?
The sensor is reading the oil in excess of 128 times a second, so it will react almost immediately to significant changes in the oil.
The rate at which you choose to read data from the sensor will determine how quickly that change is shown in your system or display panel.
For the best stability in the data, we recommend sampling data from the sensor every 5 to 15 minutes.

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 ...
Does the sensor need to be in the oil flow?
The sensor does not need to be in the direct flow of oil, provided there is turnover of oil (oil is moving). The sensor nose must remain immersed in oil at all times however to provide an accurate reading. The sensor nose must be fully immersed in ...
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 ...
Can the sensor detect particles?
Yes, the sensor will detect particles, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Particles typically show 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 ...
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 ...
