Outside Air Temperature Sensor (OAT) |
 |
This sensor measures the temperature outside the passenger compartment and is usually mounted inside or near the front bumper or in the side mirror. > Download Brochure |
|
DAT |
 |
The Discharge Air Temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the air that is emitted from the air ducts. > Download Brochure |
|
Evaporator Temperature Sensor |
 |
The evaporator temperature sensor is used to measure the evaporator core temperature. > Download Brochure |
|
Evaporator Core Temperature Sensor |
 |
This sensor measures the Evaporator Core temperature so that it doesn’t freeze over, preventing a costly repair. > Download Brochure |
|
AIT |
 |
An integrated, low-noise fan draws a greater volume of cabin air across the temperature sensor, providing a faster response as compared to traditional passive sensors. > Download Brochure |
| Single Solar Sensor |  |
The single solar sensor is mounted on the IP panel near the front window. It has one photo diode cell inside and is used in the independent type automatic temperature control (ATC) by sensing the amount of light left and right, using angle light activating filters. > Download Brochure |
| WTS Water Temperature Sensor |
 |
The water temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the coolant that is being pumped around the engine block to cool the engine. This sensor’s purpose is to notify the driver of the vehicle if the engine starts to overheat. > Download Brochure |
| OTS Oil Temperature Sensor |
 |
The oil temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the engine oil. This sensor’s purpose is to measure the oil temperature and display this measurement to the vehicle’s occupants. > Download Brochure |
|
CTS |
 |
The water temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the coolant that is being pumped around the engine block to cool the engine. This sensor’s purpose is to notify the driver of the vehicle if the engine starts to overheat. > Download Brochure |
|
CHT |
 |
The cylinder head temperature sensor is designed to take the place of one of the cylinder head bolts on a diesel engine. The sensor’s purpose is to measure the cylinder head temperature and to signal the vehicle’s operator if an engine overheats (that is, if an engine over temperature is taking place). > Download Brochure |
| TFT Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor |
 |
The Transmission Fluid Temperature sensor measures the temperature of the transmission fluid. > Download Brochure |
| FTS Fuel Temperature Sensor |
 |
The fuel temperature sensor is designed to measure the temperature of the fuel and relay this information to the engine control unit, so that it can optimize the air to fuel mix ratio, depending on what the fuel temperature is with respect to the intake air temperature. > Download Brochure |
| IAT Intake Air Temperature Sensor |
 |
The intake air temperature sensor measures temperature of the air into the engine and reports to the engine control unit (ECU) to accomplish optimal combustion. > Download Brochure |
| EGR Exhaust Gas Recycle Temperature Sensor |
 |
This sensor is made in both a 150°C and a 300°C temperature version. They are used to monitor the temperature at several locations in the diesel engines as part of the engine control strategy. > Download Brochure |
|
Battery Pack Temperature Sensor |
 |
The ring terminal temperature sensor measures surface temperature. > Download Brochure |
| Motor Coil Temperature Sensor |  |
This sensor is used on a starter generator to provide temperature measurement of the motor coil. > Download Brochure |
|
Accusolve |
 |
The Accusolve Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Soot Sensor utilizes radio frequency technology to enable accurate measurement of accumulated soot in the DPF, providing real-time soot loading data. > Download Brochure |
|
Exhaust Gas High Temperature Sensor |
 |
This high temperature sensor is an exhaust gas temperature sensor used to help control the combustion process. > Download Brochure |
