  • Page 10: Technical Description

    The sensor must not record grease in direct rolling contact. The grease conditions present in areas adjacent to the raceway will allow comparable measurement results. GreaseCheck gives the following output data: ■ water content – the change in water content of the measured grease relative to fresh grease or respectively to a defined upper limit ■...
  • Page 11 Measurement of the grease condition begins approx. 5 seconds after GreaseCheck is connected to the power supply. Both the deterioration of the grease and the water content are determined and outputted via the analogue channel as follows: ■ grease deterioration: –...
