Operation

MetalAlert is an extremely simple device, with no moving parts. Fluid enters the top port of the detector. It then travels downwards through the perforated board containing the gold plated electrical grid on the top & bottom surfaces. The fluid then exits through the bottom port and returns to the engine sump or oil reservoir.

Smaller metal particles, normal wear, pass through the perforations.

Detection of metal occurs when larger particles settle on the electric grid. which consists of two interposed circuits.

When the metal particles build up on the two interposed circuits, the gap is bridged between the two grids and the circuit is complete.

An alarm or shutdown relay can be activated.

MetalAlert can be connected to our MetalAlert Controller.
