Continuously monitoring the condition of the respective fluid in hydraulic and lubricating systems is essential. Failing to continuously monitor the condition can result in considerable system damage. The Condition Monitoring Multi Sensor (BCM-MS) was designed specifically to continuously monitor the relative humidity, temperature, permittivity and conductivity in oil. By monitoring the fluid, sudden and subtle deterioration or changes in oil quality can be accurately detected and the oil change intervals extended or planned accurately. Maintenance costs can be reduced significantly. This makes the Condition Monitoring Multi Sensor an essential part of your condition monitoring system.

The BCM-MS capacitively measures the relative humidity in the medium to ensure reliable information about the saturation level of the oil. The conductivity and permittivity can be used to obtain substantiated information about oil ageing, replenishment and mixing with other oils or foreign objects. Since conductivity and permittivity are greatly affected by the temperature, the actual temperature is always determined as well.
