Thanks
Thank you for purchasing this sensor. The WearDetect Oil Debris Sensor is a high precision device designed
to give accurate results and long service. The following guidance will allow initial set-up after which Gill
recommend downloading the full user manual and optimising operation by using the WearDetect software
at www.gillsc.com/support.
This guide covers all WearDetect oil debris sensors in the range.
What’s in the box
1 x Oil Debris Sensor with generic sensor head
7 x Bootlace ferrules (Blue) (Sensors with display only)
1 x USB Cable 1.8m
1 x Quick Start Guide
What’s required (All Models)
• Thread adaptor (available from Gill to t the sensor to the equipment)
• 2mm hex key and spanner to t the adaptor (see separate adaptor guidance document)
What’s required (Models with Display 4212-PK-145 / 4212-PK-146 / 4212-PK-147)
• Phillips screwdriver (to remove electronics enclosure case lid)
• Small at blade screwdriver (to tighten cable terminals)
• A 19mm or adjustable spanner (to tighten the enclosure cable grommet)
• A crimp tool (to x the bootlace ferrules to the wires)
• Multi-strand cable with a diameter between 2 – 6mm to connect for power and data.
Note: This product requires a tting adaptor (available from Gill or your distributor) to match the
installation thread type and size of the equipment.
Note: Please only begin installation if you have the correct adaptor. Use without a Gill approved
adaptor may invalidate the warranty.
Your new sensor has been factory set up to operate straight from the box using factory default parameters
suited to a wide variety of applications. This allows the minimum of set up activities for most applications. See
factory default settings for more information.
Note: The sensor head is a precision assembly and is factory sealed to ensure correct performance. Any
damage to this part not reported on receipt of the sensor may invalidate the warranty.
When installing into a stainless steel tting, Gill recommend using anti-seize compound
CAUTION: The sensor head assembly contains strong magnets. Any sensitive objects
or devices (including pacemakers) should be kept away from the sensor head.

Getting Started
Models with display:
• Remove the display electronics cover as shown in Fig 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver.
• Thread multi-core wire through the enclosure grommet as shown in Fig 2 and add the bootlace
ferrules ready for connection within the display enclosure.
• Connect the wires to the terminal blocks within the sensor according to tables I & II.
• Replace the display electronics cover and gasket as shown in Fig 1 to a tightness of 4Nm +/-10%
during re-assembly.

Fig 2
All Models:
• Using the wiring table below, connect the sensor according the output type (analogue voltage or
current, digital CAN or RS485 Modbus)
Note: Please observe the minimum and maximum operating values for the sensor as shown in the table above.
Note: For voltage devices, the analogue output is limited by the supply voltage provided to power the sensor and
a minimum 0.7V power supply headroom above the desired analogue output is recommended for stable sensor
output.

Fitting the sensor head
• Fitting the sensor to the equipment requires a thread adaptor available separately from Gill sized
to t the thread size of the equipment and is mandatory for all installations.
• Secure the thread adaptor into the equipment then t the sensor head using the grub screws
provided. Detailed steps to tting the sensor head are contained in the Quick Start Guide
available with the adaptor and should be observed prior to installation.
• Where an NPT tting is to be used, Gill recommend downloading the WearDetect software
from www.gillsc.com/support, restoring the factory defaults in the sensor menu to the “Small
sensitivity”settings and resetting the sensor head by pressing the zero/tare prior to use. Details
can also be found in WearDetect manual.

Note: Ensure the equipment the sensor head is tted into is grounded. See the Weardetect User
Manual for more details.
Factory default settings
• From the factory the sensor is set to the small sensitivity scale (see below) for debris size for the Fine
and Coarse debris channels. The sensor can also be set to sense temperature or water presence,
either as an alarm or continuously. From the factory, the sensor will sense water presence as an
alarm.
• In addition, there are a number of sensor functions (see below) that can be enabled or disabled
through downloading the software from www.gillsc.com but the following highlights the default
settings without any software changes.
Note: whilst defaults are included, Gill strongly recommend calibrating the sensor and thresholds to
your application
