A hydraulic lift system is used to raise and lower an arm on a shearer (also called a power loader) to cut coal from the coalface. Reliable hydraulic oil level sensing is required to maintain continuous operation efficiently and safely.

Low coolant level detection in large tractors is needed to protect the engine from overheating. This requires a simple, reliable sensing solution with long life to handle the conditions often present with agricultural equipment.

Below is information on probe spacers for Warrick fitting 3G. Probe spacers are used to keep probes apart, so they don’t conduct and indicate a false reading, especially for longer length probes. For lengths over ten feet it is recommended to use a wire suspended probe, 3W or 3Y. Match your 3G mounting type and number of probes to order the correct spacer.

The calculation is performed using FIT which is the number of failures per billion (1,000,000,000) hours.

Gems Sensors & Controls capacitive level sensors, CAP-3 and CAP-300 are alike by design and in functionality. They both use the capacitive operating principle for point level detection of the presence of liquid.
