Capacity Sensor The capacity sensor is a microprocessor controlled pressure switch with two alarm outputs for alert and shut-off. A display of LED's with different color illuminates under a transparent cover. After power is turned on, green LED's start flashing, indicating that the system is active. A pressure sensor continuously controls the pressure loss in the filter head and a temperature sensor simultaneously registers the temperature of the fluid .After the oil has reached the operating temperature (which is typically above 86°F), the green LED's stop flickering. The sensor then is in operational mode. After the dirt holding capacity of the filter element has been reduced to approx. 25%, yellow LED's light up. If 100% of the capacity has been reached, red LED's appear in addition. As soon as the yellow and/ or red LED's are lit up, the electrical alarm outputs are activated. The signal points can be set closer to the cracking pressure of the bypass valve due to the high accuracy of the pressure sensor. This allows more use of the total dirt holding capacity and saves operational cost at the same time. Since there is no flow across the filter if the system is running idle, no pressure loss can be measured. Therefore the visual and electrical alarms are self-locking until either power has been cut off or the Reset-button is pressed, at the latest after the next replacement of the filter element. Furthermore, the device has a self-checking function. In case of malfunction, the red LEDs start blinking and signal output 2 is activated without switching on the yellow LEDs. As an option the capacity sensor monitors if the system starts-up without the filter element installed. ■ Signal suppression during cold start and temporary pressure peaks ■ Visual/ electrical indication ■ High 360° visibility of LED's ■ Indication of status and fault Buhler Technologies GmbH Internet: www.buehler-technologies.com e-mail: fluidcontrol@buehler-technologies.com
