Coolant Level Detector

  • This unit measures the electrical capacitance of the coolant. The system uses a clever technology to prevent corrosion and buildup on the probes.
  • The unit has two sending wires - one is earth and the other is the sensing wire and can be connected in one one of two ways:
    • By using the two supplied stainless steel screws screwed into a PLASTIC coolant header tank. This tank should be the main filling tank to the coolant system, have a pressure cap on and should empty completely if a coolant hose is removed from the engine. The screws are fitted horizontally in the tank 25 mm apart and 25 mm below the normal operating level of the tank.
    • By using a coolant adapter. A coolant adapter is a plastic or aluminium pipe (purchased separately) which is fitted to the top coolant hose (leading to the radiator). This adapter has a stud fitted to it. The purple wire is connected to this stud while the grey wire is connected to the closes earth to the adapter (Part where the coolant hose fits to the engine. Water presence in the pipe is sensed by the unit. This pipe should be fitted close to the engine block.
