Understanding Sensor Data
This short video is intended to help users to understand the data that can be provided by the Tan Delta sensor provided as part of the Sense-1, Sense-2, Sense-3 and MOT kits. Further information on handling sensor data can be found in the master user ...
Cleaning the sensor in the MOT kit
This short video tutorial demonstrates how to clean the sensor included in the MOT kit. It is important that the sensor is cleaned between every test and allowed to dry for 5 minutes prior to the next use.
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 ...
What is TDN?
Tan Delta Number (TDN) is a value which indicates the overall condition of the oil. The value range starts high for a new oil and finishes low for an old and worn oil. (Further information on the value range can be found in our master user guide.) ...
