Temperature Monitoring System
1. TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 UNIT CONSTRUCTION
The TankConditioner
®
TC is a multi-functional
unit consisting of a uid level and temperature
monitoring system, an optional temperature
display and a breather lter BF7 or BF 72.
1.2 FLUID LEVEL MONITORING
Values are measured using the oat principle.
For simple monitoring functions (e.g. pump
protection or tank level monitoring) the uid
level monitoring device has two bistable
switch contacts which can be turned through
180° for either N/O or N/C function.
A resolution of 10 mm makes it easy to set
the switch points to suit the requirements of
the system. The switch points can also be
displayed via 3 LEDs (green, yellow, red), if
specially requested by the customer.
Depending on the type of unit, the actual
oil level can also be output as an analogue
control signal for system control.
Oil level monitoring is maintenance-free for
uids which do not form a residue on the
sensor tube during operation.
1.3 FLUID TEMPERATURE
MONITORING
The thermal contact required for this is tted
to the end of the contact strip and therefore
monitors the oil temperature in the lower part
of the tank.
The normally closed contact responds at
70 °C and acts as an emergency cut-out.
If switching functions are to be carried out
in conjunction with temperature monitoring
(to control an oil cooler, for example) then,
depending on the model, up to 2 PNP switch
outputs can either be programmed hysteresis-
free from 0-100 °C, or can be output as an
analogue control signal.
1.4 TANK BREATHER FILTER
To meet the most likely customer
requirements, the TankConditioner
®
TC is
tted with the BF 7 or BF 72 breather lter as
standard.
The breather lter is designed in such a
way that it is impossible to ll or top up
the tank with hydraulic uid via the lter
housing (exception: version FABF). The
TankConditioner TC can be supplied without
a port for a clogging indicator or with a
visual-analogue clogging indicator. To make
the breather lter even more maintenance-
friendly, we recommend tting a UBM type
clogging indicator, which is easily visible and
includes a memory function. The yellow reset
button is used to reset the indicator after
changing the element.
1.10 FLOAT
To ensure compatibility with many standard
hydraulic uids, the TankConditioner
®
TC sensor tube and oat are made from
synthetic material and brass, with stainless
steel as an option.

1.6 TANK FILLING OPTION
For simple applications the tank can
be lled via the breather lter (see
Supplementary Details code FABF).
To protect the hydraulics a ller-strainer is
built into the tank ange as a coarse lter.
For high performance hydraulic systems
we recommend the lling connection
which allows the lling of ltered oil to be
monitored (Supplementary Details FA34).
The required quick release coupling is not
supplied.

1.9 WAVE MOTION PROTECTION
Wave motion on the surface of the oil can
affect the oat and can therefore cause
measurement errors, particularly in large
tanks. A protective sleeve is therefore
available in brass (type code 1.x) or
stainless steel (type code 2.x) as an
accessory for these applications.
