Sense-1 HAZ Sensor Kit
Sense-1 HAZ Sensor Kit
An OQH HAZ Sensor kit for installations connecting to an existing monitoring system or local display. Includes the OQH sensor and Configuration Pack.
The SENSE1 HAZ Kit includes our OQH real time oil analysis sensor, Zone 2 certified to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX, and Class 1 Division 2 US/C standards allowing real time oil condition analysis for hazardous area industrial and commercial applications, and our Sensor Configuration Pack which can be used to configure all Tan Delta sensors. The configuration kit enables you to configure the sensor to the correct oil type and application and set the data output format that matches your target display.
Our unique FSH™ core technology analyses oil condition holistically, detecting, measuring, and tracking all and any contamination or wear with 0.01% sensitivity (10ppm) – other sensor systems typically look at specific parameters and ignore others. This unmatched real-time complete oil analysis capability is achieved through continuous analysis of the electro-chemical properties of the oil at a molecular level.
OQSH works with any oil type with any equipment operating in any application. It is certified ATEX Zone 2/intrinsically safe/ Class 1 Div 2
Technical Specifications
Sense-2 Display Kit
The system continuously analyzes, logs, and displays actual oil condition and remaining oil life in real time. Configurable analytics generate alerts in case of unexpected contamination or oil wear, ensuring timely maintenance actions. With a built-in data logger and wireless connectivity, data can be easily accessed and downloaded for further analysis.
SENSE-2 is a versatile solution suitable for any environment and compatible with all types of oils, offering quick installation and reliable, continuous monitoring.
Key Features
- REAL TIME OIL CONDITION ANALYSIS – continuously analyses and tracks oil condition in real time providing a simple to understand Tan Delta Number (TDN) scale.
- HAZ CERTIFIED – Zone 2 certified to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX & Class 1 Division 2 US/C allowing real-time oil condition analysis for hazardous area applications.
- PREDICT MAINTENANCE: use the rate of change to easily and accurately predict oil end of life and safely extend intervals between maintenance according to equipment needs.
- SIMPLE & RELIABLE- easy to install and use with any equipment operating in any environment. Operates continuously with no maintenance required.
- REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS – trend analysis of oil condition change enables maintenance to be planned ahead of time at the optimal point, safely extending maintenance intervals. Typically reduces maintenance costs by between 30% and 50%.
- IMPROVED RELIABILITY – unseen issues cause subtle changes to oil condition that OQSx-G2 detects and alerts. Enables faults to be detected and fixed before failure, reducing costly break downs and extending equipment life.
- ESG TARGETS: – reduced oil consumption, spare part consumption, optimisation of equipment operating efficiency and extended productive equipment life all make a material and verifiable contribution to ESG targets.
Applications
- Oil condition monitoring in hazardous and explosive environments (ATEX Zone-certified areas)
- Real-time monitoring of engines, gearboxes, and hydraulic systems using oil analysis
- Predictive maintenance to detect wear, contamination, and faults before equipment failure

Oil Interpreting Guide
Tan Delta technology continuously analyses oil in real time at a molecular level, accurately tracking condition changes as equipment operation causes oil to wear. Rate of change projection enables reliable optimal maintenance forecasting and safe interval increases – thus reduced costs. Contamination or equipment issues cause trend spikes which are instantly detected, enabling immediate evaluation and action as necessary to avoid unnecessary break downs and life-shortening equipment wear.

What is the SENSE-1 HAZE Kit and what does it monitor?
SENSE-1 HAZE Kit is an entry-level solution designed to monitor oil contamination and clarity (haze) in real time. It uses the HAZE Oil Quality Sensor (OQH) to detect water ingress, coolant contamination, and particulate presence in lubricants.
How is the SENSE-1 HAZE Kit different from the standard SENSE-1 Kit?
- SENSE-1 Kit → Monitors overall oil condition (degradation + chemistry)
- SENSE-1 HAZE Kit → Focuses specifically on contamination and oil clarity
This makes the HAZE kit ideal for applications where contamination is the primary concern rather than general oil ageing.
What components are included in the SENSE-1 HAZE Kit?
The kit typically includes:
- HAZE Oil Quality Sensor (OQH)
- Basic interface for signal output
- Power supply and connection accessories
It provides a simple and cost-effective setup for monitoring oil cleanliness.
What are the key benefits of using the SENSE-1 HAZE Kit?
Key advantages include:
- Early detection of water and coolant ingress
- Identification of particulate contamination and oil turbidity
- Reduced risk of equipment failure due to contamination
- Quick installation and easy deployment
- Ideal for pilot testing and validation projects
Where is the SENSE-1 HAZE Kit typically used?
Common applications include:
- Hydraulic systems and lubrication circuits
- Gearboxes and industrial machinery
- Marine and heavy-duty equipment
- Automotive testing and fleet monitoring
It is especially useful in systems where oil cleanliness is critical for reliability.
