Where do I fit the sensor in a gearbox?
You should install the sensor into an OEM port, inspection port or fill port.
When installing in a gearbox, care should be taken to ensure that the oil level is sufficient to cover the nose of the sensor at all times when the gearbox is in operation.
Typical gearbox installations include the sensor being installed through the gearbox casing into an oil sump or reservoir

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 ...
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 ...
What data does the sensor output?
The sensor reports a number that represents the overall oil condition at that moment in time. This is called "Tan Delta number" (TDN). The sensor reports a number that represents the overall oil condition The sensor also outputs a value for oil ...
