A new conductivity-based sensor from Gems detects the presence of water in fuel and lubricating oil. The WIF-1250 has no moving parts and is an easy to install device that can be used to prevent mechanical damage as a result of lubricant property degradation in a variety of applications. It can be mounted in any position.

It is a solid-state solution that contains integral, hightemperature- rated electronics that generate an alternating voltage to a probe tip.

The presence of water completes the circuit which, in turn, changes the condition of the transistor output.

Output options vary and can be used to actuate relays, LEDs etc, as well as to interface with CMOS/TTL logic, PLCs or microprocessors.
