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.
