What is the minimum flow rate for the sensor?

There is no minimum flow rate, so long as there is turnover of the oil (oil is moving).

Sensor should be installed into oil that does move

A sensor installed in static oil will only read the same sample of oil

• What is the maximum flow rate for the sensor?

  There is no maximum flow rate for the sensor, provided the sensor nose remains immersed in oil and air is not being pulled into the sensor. Sensor must not restrict the flow of oil

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• 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 ...
