Eaton WSPS 05 Instruction Manual

Contents

52.1. Sensor installation The WSPS 05 is intended for inline measurements.o Therefore the sensor should be integrated at a circulating, respectively turbulentpoint of the hydraulic system in order to generate reliable measurements.o Please make sure that maximum limits for flow rate and pressure are not exceeded.o The time to reach balance on the sensor can vary and depends on a number offactors, such as the oil’s viscosity. Connect the provided cable to your monitoring and evaluation system. (see also pinassignment in chapter 5.3) Connect the sensor cable to the WSPS 05 by using the plug. The sensor is now ready for operation.2.2. Evaluating measurementsGreen range (0...70% saturation)The presence of free water is unlikely. The water solved in the oil is not a threat!Yellow range (70...90% saturation)The presence of free water in small amounts is probable. Additional measurements andactions to reduce the water content are suggested.Red range (90...100% saturation)Water is present in its free form. It is a threat and a potential danger of the hydraulic orlubricating system.Actions to reduce the water content in the fluid are urgently necessary!The calculation to mg/kg (ppm)– water content is only possible with the specificallysaturation characteristic.Saturation characteristics for specific oils are available upon request.
