Sense-1 Sensor Kit
Sense-1 Sensor Kit
An OQS Sensor kit for installations connecting to an existing monitoring system or local display. Includes the OQS sensor and Configuration Pack.
SENSE1 includes our OQS real time oil analysis sensor, and our CAB-J Configuration Cable and software which can be used to configure all Tan Delta sensors. This enables you to configure the sensor to the correct oil type and application and set the data output format that matches your target display.
OQS analyses oil in real time at a molecular level (0.001% accuracy), detecting, analysing and measuring changes caused by wear, contamination or mechanical issues with the equipment itself. This information enables you to significantly cut maintenance costs through using oil fully to the end of its life, undertaking maintenance when actually needed and reducing break downs.
Once you have configured the OQS to the target oil in your equipment, you can install and connect it to your desired display to see the oil analysis data. You can retain the Configuration Kit for future use and means that you only need buy the standalone OQS sensor in the future.
Technical Specifications
Sense-1 Sensor Kit
The system continuously displays real-time oil condition (TDN), rate of change, and temperature, providing an accurate snapshot of oil and equipment health. Built-in configurable analytics trigger alerts in case of unexpected contamination, while the rate of change helps predict oil end of life (EoL) and maintenance needs. All data is continuously logged and can be easily accessed via wired or WiFi interfaces.
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.
- 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.

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 Kit and what is it used for?
SENSE-1 Kit is an entry-level solution designed to introduce real-time oil condition monitoring using Tan Delta Oil Quality Sensors (OQS). It is ideal for basic evaluation, pilot projects, and small-scale deployments.
What components are included in the SENSE-1 Kit?
The kit typically includes:
- Oil Quality Sensor (OQS)
- Basic interface for data output
- Power and connection accessories
It provides a simple setup to start monitoring oil degradation and contamination without complex infrastructure.
How does the SENSE-1 Kit work?
The OQS sensor continuously measures changes in oil properties and outputs a real-time oil condition index (OCI). This data can be read via basic interfaces (analog/CAN) or connected to external systems for monitoring.
What are the key benefits of the SENSE-1 Kit?
Key advantages include:
- Cost-effective entry into oil condition monitoring
- Real-time insight into oil degradation
- Quick installation and minimal setup
- Ideal for trial, validation, and proof-of-concept projects
- Enables transition from time-based to condition-based maintenance
Where is the SENSE-1 Kit typically used?
Common applications include:
- Pilot projects in industrial machinery
- Fleet evaluation programs
- Hydraulic systems and gearboxes
- Training and demonstration setups
It is best suited for users starting their journey in predictive maintenance and oil analytics.
