CLEAN SENSOR AND BOTTLE
For accurate results, it is vitally important to perform any test using a
clean sensor and sample bottle. Any oil residue from a previous test MUST be
removed.
Step 1: TO CLEAN THE SENSOR, wipe excess oil using absorbent material.
Next, spray solvent cleaner into each of the four holes around the sensor tip,
and into the main bore. Our recommended cleaner
is Loctite 7063. If unavailable, please contact Support for a suitable
alternative. Finally, give the outer surface a quick spray. Give a sharp shake
to remove any excess and allow to dry for at least 1 minute.
Step 2: TO CLEAN A SAMPLE BOTTLE, wipe excess oil using absorbent
material. Next, spray solvent cleaner all around the inside of the bottle.
Give a sharp shake to remove any excess and allow to dry for at least 1
minute.

TAKE A SAMPLE
Step 1 : Screw the bottle adapter to the sensor and then connect the blue Bulgin connector on the configuration cable to the sensor.
Step 2: Check red
fibre washer/seal is in place in the bottle adaptor. Pour your oil sample into
a clean sample bottle and screw onto the bottle adapter. Agitate for a few
seconds and invert the whole assembly.
Note: Sensor nose must be completely submerged in oil for accurate
results.
RUN NEW TEST
Step 1: Start the MOT software. After a few seconds the home screen of
the MOT software will appear (shown below). Click on New Test to begin.
Step 2: Plug in the USB end of the Config Cable into your PC/laptop. The COM port you are connected to will appear under Cable Names. The sensor serial number will appear under Device Names. Click Next to continue.
Step 3: Enter the Asset Details for the asset the oil has come from. Click Next.
Step 4: Select your oil from the database, and click Next.
Step 5: Carry out a visual check by selecting the image that most closely resembles state of the oil sample. Click next.
S tep 6: Confirm the details entered are correct, edit if necessary. Click ‘Run Test’ to begin the analysis.
Step 7: Your oil will now be analysed. The results and recommendations
are shown on the Test Result screen. Under the Actions menu, you can repeat or
discard the test. You can also export the test data to a TSV, PDF, or copy the
test data to clipboard which will allow it to be pasted into various programs,
e.g. Excel.
Step 8 : On the Test Result screen, you can switch between viewing the data as a graph or in table form. The graph will display the historic trend of any saved tests, which have a matching Asset ID, Sample Point, and Oil Name.
INTERPRETING OIL CONDITION
What does it mean?
High readings usually indicate the sensor head is in air. Check the location
and move if necessary, so head is submerged in oil. If location is OK, the
high reading could be caused by fuel contamination or sweetening.
Oil condition is okay for the application selected and can continue to be used
in operation. However, continued monitoring of the oil will detect any
deviations from the expected oil life curve. If detected, investigate for
potential issues which could lead to failures of equipment before they happen.
- Oil is nearing the end of its life. Schedule maintenance.
- Oil is no longer operationally viable. Change immediately.
SUPPORT – FAQ
If you have any issues, please read the tips below before contacting us for further support.
-
Where are the Cable J drivers?
The drivers for Cable J should install automatically; however, if they do not, the latest drivers are on the USB stick. -
Test result does not follow expected trend. Can I sanity check the result?
Check correct oil was selected when setting up the test. The sensor may need cleaning. Leave it immersed in solvent for 5 minutes, rinsing in de-ionised water and then allowing it to dry thoroughly. If the test result is the same or very similar to before, then it is an accurate result. -
How do I update the software?
Software updates will happen automatically. You will be prompted to accept when one is available. If you are provided an installer by
Tan Delta, please uninstall any previous versions of software before installing the new one. -
How do I remove the software?
Simply go into your control panel and remove the software.ded using the built in WiFi interface. Simple and easy for any equipment, application and oil type, with huge operational and financial benefits.
