What is the standard warranty for the sensor?
We offer a 12 month warranty on the sensor.
How long will the sensor last?
We estimate a service life for the sensor in excess of 10 years.
How do you clean the sensor?
Once installed in application, there is no requirement to clean the sensor. When using the sensor with the MOT kit or if you are using the sensor in bench testing, the sensor should be cleaned between oil types. We recommend using a low residue ...
Does the sensor need annual calibration?
No, there is no need to calibrate the sensor annually. If the oil the sensor is to be used in is changed to a different oil, then the sensor needs to be reconfigured for this oil using the CADS application. If the oil type remains the same, but the ...
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 ...
Can the sensor detect wear material?
Yes, the sensor will detect wear material, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Wear material typically shows 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 ...
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 ...
What types of oil does the sensor work with?
The sensor is capable of working in synthetic, semi synthetic and mineral oils. The database of oils currently profiled for the sensor can be checked on our website HERE The current oil database can also be downloaded from our website for using with ...
Is the sensor available in SS316?
Yes, we do offer the sensor in SS316. Please contact us directly for further details.
What thread sizes are available?
Sensors are available with the following size threads as a standard offering: 1/2" BSPP 1/2" NPT 7/8" UNF M18 Other thread types are available on request. A sensor with a longer nose is also available to install where the oil flow requires a longer ...
