SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// FPS2800B12C4 FPC012 Rev M
Fully integrated, stand-alone module combines
sensor and processing electronics
Accurate, repeatable temperature, viscosity, density
and dielectric constant
Factory calibrated with NIST traceable fluids
Digital output as per J1939, CAN2.0B standard or
CAN2.0A featuring high-resolution parameter
readings
The FPS2800B12C4 is a novel fluid property sensor
that will directly and simultaneously measure the viscosity,
density, dielectric constant and temperature of fluids. Relying
on patented tuning fork technology, the sensor monitors the
direct and dynamic relationship between multiple physical
properties to determine the quality, condition and
contaminant loading of fluids such as engine oil, fuel,
transmission and brake fluid, hydraulic and gear oils,
refrigerants and solvents. The multi-parametric analysis
capability improves fluid characterization algorithms. The
FPS provides in-line monitoring of fluids for a wide range of
OEM and aftermarket installations including fluid reservoirs,
process lines and pressurized high flow conduits (e.g., engine
oil gallery) for applications that include on and off highway
vehicles, HVAC&R, compressors, industrial equipment and
turbines. A universal digital CAN J1939 compliant protocol
provides easy to connect interface to main Host controller. A
simple 4 pin connector allows for cost effective mounting
options.
