General Specifications: The sensor is robust, offering outstanding longevity and constant sensitivity. It is protected against sooting due to its closed face design. The sensor should be installed in a special adapter between the cylinder cover and indicator cock to reduce combustion deposit build-up.

Protection and Approvals: The sensor has an IP67 protection rating and complies with CE approval 2004/1008/EG, EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-4, and EN 61326-1 standards.

Mounting: The TCS-01CA® is mounted on an adapter before the indicator cock. Regular opening of the indicator valve is recommended to blow out combustion residues.

Optional Accessories: Various adapters and connecting cables are available for different engine applications, including MAN B&W and Wärtsilä engines.

General specifications Degree of protection The robust type TCS-01CA® sensor for continuous measurement of cylinder pressures on two stroke diesel engines offers outstanding longevity and constant sensitivity. Cylinder pressure measurements can be made with high precision because of its very good thermodynamic characteristics. For application on 2- stroke engines the sensor should be installed in a special adapter between cylinder cover and indicator cock. The sensor is mounted on the flat pressure canal of the adapter with less pockets or less corners this significantly reduces the build-up...
