Where do you fit the sensor on a hydraulic system?
The sensor should be fitted into an available OEM port in or around the oil filter, alternatively the sensor can be fitted into an oil pipe or hose using a manifold, or into the oil tank.
When selecting an installation location, be aware of the system pressure. The maximum pressure for the sensor is 70 bar. If the system pressure exceeds this, we recommend installing into the low pressure return line or into the tank.
